Just a Passing Assassin...

 Spiral: I’ll get lost honestly, no good at figuring out halls.



Steady: Mm, I get you. I’ll try not to take too long then.



Cabinetta: The lights will change colors to guide your way if you touch the wall. They always know where you need to go.



Steady: Wait, really? That’s cool. kind of evil though...

Cabinetta: O-Oh?

Steady: Dark magic hallways...

Cabinetta: I mean yes...

Steady: Helpful though. I won't take long.

Cabinetta: Be careful with any claws please, don’t scratch it…

Steady: I won't!

Steady looks at you.

Steady: You going to be all good with making dessert?

Spiral: Should be!

Steady: Alrighty then, good luck! Have fun!

Steady gives you both a sweet little wave before stepping through the door. You and Cabinetta return the gesture.

You hear her sprint until she's no longer anywhere close to you two.



Cabinetta: Well then, are you ready?

Spiral: Mm, what’s the plan?

Cabinetta: Follow me…. If you dare.



Spiral: If I dare?

Cabinetta: Mm? Yes?

Spiral: Why do you gotta say it like that?

Cabinetta: In a horror movie, this is the point where the monster separates you one by one to pick you off. A creature has been mentioned and shown signs of its influence on the surrounding area, but you have yet to see it.

Cabinetta: You have no clue to its form. A possible misdirection has been dropped, you expected it to be some large frightening thing but for all you know, it could be a shapeshifter within arm's length, gauging prey.

Cabinetta: Figuring out the optimal way to take down a group piece by piece...

Cabinetta: One must wonder if you've doomed yourself first or last...

Spiral: Don't say stuff like that...

Cabinetta: Hehe... A bit too far?

Spiral: More than a little.

Cabinetta: Fortunately for you it's a only bit, one that's landed me a role or two before.  Consider it life advice. You are new to... whatever occupation you and your allies appear to be filling. One I cannot fully understand but is clearly dangerous in nature.



Cabinetta: The three of you are very sweet and wonderful, and I do appreciate the flirtations but...

Cabinetta: You should be less immediately trusting in the future. I've found myself in bad situations myself, and I do not want to see anyone get hurt because they lacked any sense of caution.

Spiral: How do I know you're not about to pull something then? All that spooky talk.

Cabinetta: Because if I wished to hunt all of you down, I would've chosen to have you go fetch your friend and had Steady stay.

Cabinetta: A supernatural predator is very good at detecting who will be the biggest issue should things go wrong, and I can tell that rabbit has the most destructive potential. She'd be the one to take out before suspicion is created....

Cabinetta: But I will not eat her today, she is adorable.

Spiral: Today?!

Cabinetta: More dark humor! With that said...

Cabinetta: I can tell there is much you three are hiding about yourselves. I understand but...



Cabinetta: I've seen so much breach of my trust before, even recently...

Cabinetta: I've very much enjoyed your company so far so... please do not make me regret opening my doors to you.

She goes quiet, very solemn and lost in her thoughts.

You can't help but wonder what happened... Should you ask? Maybe try to shift the conversation... maybe attempt to assure her things will be okay? This is a lot more intense than you expected....
