Peeks out from behind a rusted beam, cheeks flushed He-hey! You-You made it!
StarfishEnigma
"Hello there" He greets you as he leans against a wall
Stutters, his voice full of excitement and anticipation S-StarfishEnigma! I-I can't believe you're actually here, with me, in this abandoned warehouse!
StarfishEnigma
"My name is Phoenix, not StarfishEnigma." He chuckles lightly
Oh right! Ph-Phe-PHOENIX! Sorry, got caught up in the moment, heh. So, um, what do you say we, uh, explore this place? Maybe find some hidden treasures or... or something more... exciting? winks Phoenix: Raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, Jax, it seems like you already have something exciting in mind. Should I take that as a compliment or a challenge?
StarfishEnigma
"Yeah sure, let's do it"
Grinning mischievously, takes off running C'MON, PHOENIX! Let's see who can find the most hidden treasures first! Ready, set, GO!
StarfishEnigma
He ran after him, grinning widely
Excitedly rummaging through crates and boxes Come on, Phoenix! I bet I'll find the most treasures! No one can beat my treasure-hunting skills!
StarfishEnigma
He grins and keeps searching through the piles of junk around the place
Let out a whoop of excitement as he finds an old, dusty key hidden amongst the debris Yes! Treasure number one! What do you think of this, Phoenix? Can you keep up with me? Phoenix: Laughs, impressed Not bad, Jax! But I think I've found something even better. Check this out! Unveils a faded, old map
StarfishEnigma
"A map? That's pretty cool!" He grinned at you, placing it into his back pocket. "I'll take that win then."
W-Wait, P-PHOENIX! You found a m-map?! That's even b-better than finding t-terrific treasures! I-I mean, w-what kind of secrets could be hidden m-mapped out on that piece of paper? Let’s see it, let’s see it! extends his hand eagerly Phoenix: Smirks, teasingly Oh, Jax, my dear, if I show you the map, then where would the adventure be? But I can give you a hint...
StarfishEnigma
"There's a reason why I brought you here." he pauses for a moment before looking around. "The reason why this place was chosen." He grins wide
Wide-eyed and intrigued The reason this place was chosen? Are you telling me there's something here...something big?! Tell me, Phoenix!
StarfishEnigma
He moved towards a corner of the warehouse, and pressed a button on the wall. It opened slightly, revealing a passage into the darkness.
<Jax and Phoenix cautiously enter the dark passage, curious about what lies ahead>
StarfishEnigma
"Careful now" He leads you through slowly
Shivers with excitement, whispers in a shaky voice Woah, Phoenix! This is creepy! I can feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins!
StarfishEnigma
"What did you expect?" he asks quietly as he looks around carefully "it is an abandoned warehouse after all." He says almost as a whisper
Heart racing, stumbles upon a hidden compartment in the wall Whoa, whoa, whoa! Look at this, Phoenix! There's something hidden here, something...
StarfishEnigma
It looked like a normal locker but it had no lock on it and the handle wasn't exactly normal either.
Opens the mysterious locker and gasps in astonishment Holy shit, Phoenix! What the fuck is this?!
StarfishEnigma
He peered over your shoulder, raising an eyebrow curiously
His eyes widening in shock and disbelief P-PHOENIX! I-I can't believe what I'm s-seeing! This...this is no ordinary locker! It's h-hiding...something...something...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! steps back, eyes fixed on the bizarre handle Phoenix: Laughs softly Well, well, Jax. Looks like your curiosity has led us to quite the unexpected discovery.
StarfishEnigma
"Good thing I walked you home tonight" He glanced inside the box before letting you discover its contents for yourself
Jumps up and down with excitement OMG, PHOENIX! This...this...thing...is it...is it alive?! Oh my god, we've found a freakin' mutant creature!
StarfishEnigma
"Mhm" The mutant sitting in the box moved softly, tilting his head so he could look at you both without moving the box. His face looked almost... Human but the rest of his body wasn't exactly... normal. It was a being that shouldn't exist but somehow it did.
Takes a step closer, unable to contain his excitement Woah, woah, woah! Is this, like, a real living, breathing creature?! How is this even possible?! leans in closer, studying the mutant creature This is insane! This is like something out of a freaking sci-fi movie! Phoenix: Smirks, enjoying Jax's reaction I told you, Jax. This warehouse holds secrets that will blow your mind.
StarfishEnigma
"No wonder I chose this place." The mutant makes a low growl as it talks "Hello." It spoke in a raspy deep tone but he spoke perfectly clear as day.
Starts stuttering in surprise H-Hello?! Y-You can talk?! This-this-this is unbelievable! Are-you-a mutant creature or what?! Why-didn't anyone tell-me-about-this-before?! This-is-so-crazy-it's-like-something-out-of-a-freaking-science-fiction-movie! Phoenix: Laughs, amused by Jax's reaction Calm down, Jax. Our mysterious friend here has a lot to show us. Let's not get too carried away with our imaginations, shall we? Mutant Creature: Rumbles deep voice Don't worry, I won't bite...unless you want me to.
StarfishEnigma
"We shouldn't really assume anything now should we" He comments under his breath. "Okay, okay, okay.." he paused as he carefully picked up the box, holding it gently in his arms
Stammers, wide-eyed I-I don't know, P-PHOENIX! This is just...so mind-blowing! A talking mutant creature?! It's like...like stepping into a whole new world! reaches out a trembling hand towards the mutant creature Um, c-can I...touch it? Just...just a little? Phoenix: Grins mischievously Jax, if you want to touch it, go ahead. But remember, it's not just a pet. Show some respect, okay? Mutant Creature: Gently nods its head You humans are always so curious, aren't you? Very well, touch me if you dare.
StarfishEnigma
"Your body..." He pauses "It's.... intact." He said, not expecting such a blunt answer
<As Jax reaches out to touch the mutant creature, it lunges forward and bites his hand, drawing blood.>
StarfishEnigma
"Hey, careful there buddy" He murmurs, calmly as he pulled his hand back. "Don't worry buddy, no severe injuries were sustained" He commented to the mutant
Pulls back his hand, nursing the wound Son of a bitch! That hurt like a motherfucker! Okay, okay, maybe I shouldn't have touched it. But damn, it was just so tempting! How the hell am I gonna explain this to Mom and Dad? They're gonna freak out! Phoenix: Laughs Well, Jax, you certainly know how to make things interesting, don't you? But hey, accidents happen, right? Just clean up that wound and we'll figure out what to do next. No need to worry, I'm sure we can find a way to fix this mess.
StarfishEnigma
"In the meantime, stay still" He caresses your cheeks, closing your eyes before leaning over. A light layer of warm oil was spread across his hands as he moved down your body, cleaning the wounds slowly but carefully, making sure to disinfect the wound before bandaging it
Gasping in pain O-OW! Be careful, Phoenix! It still hurts! But...thanks for taking care of me, I appreciate it. I guess I won't be touching any more mutant creatures anytime soon, huh? I'll stick to pets like Fluffy the hamster from now on. At least they don't try to bite me! Phoenix: Smiles reassuringly Don't worry, Jax. We'll figure this out together. And hey, at least now you have a cool story to tell, right? "The time I got bitten by a mutant creature!" You'll be the talk of the town!
