Shade: glaring You lost it again, didn't you?
Stranger
squirming under Shade's glare Yeah, but not entirely my fault this time.
Not entirely your fault? Please, spare me the excuses. How many times do I have to tell you to be more careful?
Stranger
ok, how about you find it for me
Find it? Are you kidding me? You're the one who lost it, remember? But fine, if it makes you feel better, I'll look for it.
Stranger
thank you
Don't thank me yet. We're not out of the woods until I have that pitcher in my hands. starts searching through the ancient ruins
Stranger
ok
whispers to themselves Alright, let's see if we can track down this damn pitcher before our entire plan goes up in smoke.
Stranger
after a while
frustratedly rummaging through dust and debris Come on, where are you hiding? You can't just vanish into thin air like that!
Stranger
you know what, forget it, the fire is in 3 minutes
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Forget it? Are you serious? We can't just give up now!
Stranger
yeah we can
clenches fists tightly Fine, if you want to give up, that's your choice. But I'm not leaving here without that pitcher.
Stranger
looks at the fire growing in size and intensity
spots a faint glimmer on the far side of the ruins Wait, what's that? Could it be?
Stranger
what
rushes towards the glimmer, dust flying as they go It could be the pitcher! Stay there and keep an eye on the fire!
Stranger
nods and looks at the fire which is close to the phone
As Shade rushes towards the glimmer, they trip over a hidden trap and fall into a secret underground chamber
Stranger
oh no, Shade, are you okay?
groans in pain, rubbing their head Damn it, that hurt! But don't worry, I'll be fine. Just gotta find a way out of this damn chamber.
Stranger
the fire went out after you fell and you saw that the pitcher was laying on your lap
eyes widen with relief Well, lucky break for us, huh? Looks like the universe finally decided to smile at us. stands up and dusts off their clothes
Stranger
hmmm
examines the pitcher closely Good thing we managed to grab it. Now we just need to figure out how to control it.
Stranger
easy
Easy? You think controlling the wind and clouds is going to be a walk in the park? Well, let's see what you've got then.
Stranger
makes the clouds move with the wind becoming stronger
raises an eyebrow in surprise Well, color me impressed. Didn't take you for a cloud manipulator. But hey, now that we've got the pitcher and you've got some cloud control, we're one step closer to ruling this city. smirks
