Into The Rabbit Hole/Dialogues

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view**

In the center of the ocean, a ship is sailing. And that ship is carrying a prisoner: Gisele Najm, who is alone in her cell, watching her reflection on a pod of water that got in the ship...

* + Gisele (holding her face; sad): .....

As she sees her reflection on the water and realizes her scars are still here, she goes on a rage and stumps at the pod!

* + Gisele (pissed): Let him wait and see... I’ll make him pay for what he did to my face! It doesn’t matter how far they’ll take me and whether I’ll take 1, 2 or 10 years! I will find that bastard and when we meet again there will be hell to pay!

Suddenly, Gisele hears someone going down and she immediately pushes herself to the corner...

* + Vicci (curious): Miss Najm?

* + Gisele (eye rolling): Oh... It’s just you.. What are you doing here?

Gisele doesn’t show it, but she likes it more when Vicci checks on her over the other soldiers, not because she likes him but she feels more comfortable around him because just like her, he has something that disfigures his face..

* + Vicci (curious): I brought you some food, are you hungry?

* + Gisele (pissed): No, and even if I am, I’m not taking anything from that ship!

* + Vicci (eye rolling): Fine, starve all you want, but don’t expect us to feel bad for you and let you free..

* + Gisele (crossing his arms): On second thoughts, give me the tray, I’ll eat...

* + Vicci (smug): I knew you’d come to terms...

Vicci gives her the tray and watches her as she ate...

* + Gisele (uncomfortable): Are you going to go or are you just going to sit here and watch me eat?

* + Vicci (serious): We aren’t naïve, Ms Najm. I was instructed to remain here to take sure you return the utensils so you wouldn’t use them to pick your lock and escape.

* + Gisele (eye rolling): Do I look like someone who knows how to pick locks to you?

* + Vicci (smug): You certainly don’t look like someone who’d use magic to kill four children and eat their souls. I’m not one to be fooled by a pretty face.

* + Gisele (blushing): Pretty... face...

This made Gisele blush and she found herself staring at Vicci but was distracted by his scar...

* + Gisele (blushing): Vicci.... I- have a question for you... From where did you get your scar?

* + Vicci (shocked): Um.... I-

* + Vicci (awkward grin): Well... You know us soldiers... Unless we’re Achilles, you seldom find one with completely untouched skin. It’s common for us to receive scars from a battlefield...

* + Gisele (wary): That’s strange... I’ve been a member of Graecita before its city days and several soldiers took me to their tents before going to battle and I don’t ever remember seeing in their camps...

* + Vicci (sweating): Um...

* + Gisele (crossing her arms): And I doubt soldiers are allowed to injure each other during training. So be honest with me, how did you get that scar?

* + Vicci (covering her face): There’s no point lying to is there? Fine, if you want the truth I’ll give it to you but promise you won’t tell anyone...

* + Gisele (smirking): My lips are sealed...

* + Vicci (crossing his arms): You’ve heard of the Roman Empire, haven’t you?

* + Gisele (laughing): Are you kidding me? Who the hell in Graecita doesn’t know about it?! That’s like asking the American Southerners if they knew of the Civil War!

* + Vicci (serious): Have you ever thought, that maybe that empire still exists?

This question shocked Gisele...

* + Gisele (shocked): Who... are you? And where are you from exactly?

* + Vicci (serious): My name is Victorinus Spurinna of the Roman Empire. And that scar on my face, I received it during one of my fights on the arena.

* + Gisele: You’re a gladiator! But wait... Aren’t these slaves?!

* + Vicci (crossing her arms): Yes... I became after some guards caught me trespassing the emperor’s palace at morning. His daughter had invited me over at the night to keep her wild and not wanting to be known as a whore, she refused to tell her father the truth so he assumed I was a robber. My punishment was either instant death or slavery and I think it’s clear what I chose.

* + Gisele (sympathetic): That’s actually fucked up...

* + Vicci (curious): That’s really rich coming from you. Anyway, are you done eating, give me the tray-

* + Gisele (blushing): Wait... I still have a couple of questions... That empire, where is it located?

* + Vicci (thinking): It is somewhere across the Italian sea, it’s basically an island that is the same size as Graecita. Why are you asking this question?

* + Gisele (awkward grin): Since it’s not far, couldn’t you just... Take me there?

* + Vicci (laughing): Ahahahahahah!

* + Gisele (confused): What are you laughing at?

* + Vicci (crossing his arms): You heard what Kaleb said? He wants us to take you to a DESERTED island as far AWAY from Graecita. Besides, only three people in the city know about the secret I told you, you being the third...

* + Gisele (curious): Three people? Who’s the second? Is there someone else from that empire in Graecita-

Vicci hears shouting and swords clashing from upstairs...

* + Vicci (serious): Look Gisele, I told you everything you need to know. Right now, I have to go upstairs and see what’s going on. Stay here and don’t make any noise!

* + Gisele (eye rolling): As if there’s anywhere and I’m stuck in here... ugh....

Vicci goes upstairs and is surprised to see that the ship was invaded.... BY PIRATES..

* + Vicci (shocked): What the fuck is going on here!

* + Niilo (panicking): Private Soprano! Where were you? We’ve been attacked!

* + Pirate (grinning): Well, seems like you’ve got back up. Scared to fight us, pretty boy?

Vicci draws his sword...

* + Vicci (gritting his teeth; holding a sword): Give me your worst!

He then gets in the fight, but unfortunately the soldiers get outnumbered and are surrounded by pirates...

* + Pirates (Pirate 1; grinning): There’s no way out! I’d drop my sword if I were you!

* + Vicci (serious): What is the plan, captain?

* + Captain (frowning): There is no plan. We’re outnumbered, we have to give up..

* + Vicci (shocked): Give up, bu-

* + Captain (covering his face): No buts, there’s nothing we could do...

The soldiers drop their swords...

* + Niilo (panicking): You’re not going to kill us, are you?

* + Ann (grinning): And put such perfectly fine specimen to waste? Of course not...

* + Niilo (relieved): Thank god...

* + Vicci (pissed): Who are you and why did you invade our ship?

* + Ann (raising her hat; grinning): The name’s Captain Ann Bonny, but I’m sure you have heard of me...

* + Vicci (confused): Ann Bonny? Never heard of you...

* + Ann (insulted): You never heard of me?! Blimey! Are you hearing what the man just said!

* + Pirates (shocked): Unbelievable!

* + Captain (crossing his arms): Private Soprano, Ann Bonny is a pirate from the 1800’s, she must have been resurrected during the Titan war when the gates if the underworld has been opened...

* + Ann (confused): The 18th century? Why are you talking like it’s an ancient time period, aren’t we 1782?

* + Vicci (crossing her arms): A little far from that. Anyway, you didn’t answer our question what are you doing here?

* + Ann (grinning): Why the long face? I just thought it would be polite to drop by and ask for your treasure...

* + Captain (serious): If you’re here to loot us, then I’m sorry to tell you we’ve got nothing on deck!

* + Ann (gritting her hair): I’ll see for myself. Pirates, lock these prisoners up and then search for any valuables they have in the ship!

* + Niilo (shocked): Where are you taking us?

* + Ann Bonny (grinning): To Clew Bay! Otherwise known as The Pirate Queen. We know people who’ll invest a lot of money in making you into their slaves...

The soldiers were taken as prisoners and the pirates started searching their ship. One pirate went into the prisoners’ deck and his eyes caught Gisele, half her face covered with her own hair, seeing only her pretty side...

* + Pirate (grinning): Shiver me timbers! What’s a pretty gal like you doing in that cage!

* + Gisele (begging): Oh, you dashing pirate! Please rescue me! Those vile men found me alone on my island and took me by force! Take me with you and save me from this madness!

* + Pirate (smug): How can I say no to such a lovely face! Do you where’s the keys!

* + Gisele (dramatic): They’re here! Now be quick before they see us and they’ll trap you in the cell with me!

The pirate takes the key and opens the door of the cell...

* + Pirate (kissy face): You are free now, m’lady. Care to give me a kiss...

Gisele reveals her face...

* + Pirate (shocked): Ah! What happened to you! Help, monster MONSTER!

* + Gisele (growling): RAWRRR!

Gisele pulls the pirate into the cell, leaves it and locks him up...

* + Gisele (grinning): Thanks a lot, pirate! Now if you mind, I have to go!

Gisele rushes up the deck and goes immediately to the lifeboat...

* + Ann (pissed): Avaste ye! Where do you think you’re going, girl? Pirates, stop her!

* + Gisele (grinning): I’m afraid it’s too late, pirate. Thanks for all the fish!

Before the pirates could reach her, Gisele throws the lifeboat to the sea, jumps into it and paddles away!

* + Ann (pissed): Goddamn it!

* + Pirates: Captain Bonny, do we open fire?

* + Ann (serious): Forget it. We have enough prisoners in our hand, let’s just set sail!

Meanwhile at Southern France, the crew of *Hamilton’s Laurent Revenge* are hiking the countryside with Natalie and Bambi the stag as their guides...

* + Yoyo (sweating): Ow... How much more do we have to walk?

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; awkward grin): Bambi says that we’re nearly half-way...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; shocked): Only half-way? Are you kidding me?!

* + Maverick (laughing): Maybe if you two lost some weight you wouldn’t be getting tired easily!

* + Yoyo (innocent smirking): Shut up, Rick. Or should I call you... Mickey?

* + Maverick (crossing his arms): For the love of god! It’s been two months, can you just forget about this?

* + Hasuro (grinning): You didn’t seem to mind when April calls you that...

* + Maverick (blushing): April is different, ok? She’s my girl, she can call me whatever she wants...

* + Hasuro (smiling): SIMP!

* + Maverick (rolling his sleeves): Oh... Wait until I get you!

Mia and Ophelia roll their eyes at the two...

* + Ophelia (innocent smirk): Boys...

* + Mia (giggling): Yeah, boys. Haha!

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; shocked): ...

* + Zachary (curious): Natalie, why did we stop?

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; thinking): It’s Bambi, he saw something...

The group then stop and they all see a trail of gold...

* + Mia (weirded out): What is that?

* + Hasuro (thinking): It looks like gold to me...

* + Ophelia (worried): It is gold I agree, but the question is, where did it come fro-

* + Madelina (happy): OMG! Do you know what that reminds me of? This reminds me of that song from *The Wizard of Oz*!

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; confused): The wizard of what? What song are you talking about?

* + Madelina (innocent smirking): You know it! Follow the yellow brick, follow the yellow brick road...

* + Natalie and Bambi (both blushing): ...

* + Madelina (eye rolling): Oh! Just sing along with me!

And so Madelina starts singing. Natalie has no idea what the song Madelina was singing, but she enjoyed it and sang along. Bambi was having fun and began dancing as they sang...

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (cheerful): We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! there was!

* + Maverick (blocking his ears): Ugh.... Can these two quit singing...

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (cheerful): If ever oh ever a Wiz! there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,because, because, because, because, becau-

* + Mia (furious): MADELINA!

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (Madelina; shocked): We’re you talking to me?

* + Mia (pissed): Madelina, we only took you with us because you begged us to, so in return we want you follow a couple restrictions. And one of them is for you to SHUT THE FUCK UP until we are done with the quest!

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (Madelina; sad): Okay...

* + Ophelia (unamused): Now that wasn’t very nice, Mia...

* + Mia (crossing her arms): What? You want to hear her sing?

* + Ophelia (blushing): Well no... But-

* + Mia (pissed): Then let me handle things my own way!

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (Bambi; pissed): Urp...

Bambi was pissed off at Mia, so he raised one of his back legs and started pissing all over her!

* + Mia (shocked): Ah!!!

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (Bambi; sniggering): Urp! Urp! Urp!

* + Mia (furious): He pissed on me! He actually pissed on me!

Everyone started laughing...

* + Mia (angry): This is not funny! Now I have to continue the quest and meet the goddess with my clothes covered with wee!

* + Yoyo (holding her laughter): I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to laugh, it’s just-

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (Madelina; awkward grin): You know... I have some spare clothes in my suitcase if you wan-

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Thank you, but I don’t need YOUR help...

Suddenly the groups stops as they see they’re way being blocked by a herd of animals coming from the right...

* + Ophelia (concerned): What are all these animals running from?

* + Natalie, Bambi and Madelina (Natalie; shocked): There’s danger at the forest! It must hunters or- Someone died on the forest!

* + Mia (thinking): Hunters... Or maybe huntresses!

* + Hasuro (glad): Does that mean we found Artemis!

* + Mia (serious): There’s one way to check. Ophelia, come with me!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Do you think this is a good idea? What if it’s not hunters? What if it’s some carnivorous animal or- Orion!

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Ophelia!

* + Ophelia (biting her nails): Ok fine! I’ll come!

The two girls head to the opposite direction of where the animals running to...

* + Mia (thinking): I think I see something over there...

* + Ophelia (worried): Mia, maybe we should go bac-

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Ophelia, this is no time to be paranoid! Lets see what this is all about...

**You are now playing as Mia Loukas**

## Chapter 1

* Investigate the woods (Body found)

* + Ophelia (shocked): Ah! Is that.. a child?!

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; concerned): Are you two alright?

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; crossing his arms): Yeah, we could hear you two scream miles away!

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Madelina; covering her mouth): OMG! What happened to that girl, is she dead?!

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): What kind of question is that, she’s literally decapitated!

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; shocked): This must be what the animals were running away from!

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Yoyo; holding her head): Oh no... This reminds me a lot of what happened at Graecita... Faith, Lizzie Park and the twins...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; covering his face): I was hoping I wouldn’t have to autopsy a child’s body for a long time or ever again, but I guess here we are...

* + Ophelia (blushing): Mia... Did you find anything... Other than the body?

* + Ophelia (confused): A card? But I don’t see anything on it?

* + Ophelia (serious): Lets bring out the dusting kit and see what’s on the card!

* Recover faded invite (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the woods)

* + Ophelia (thinking): So the card is actually an invite to Dionysus’ picnic party...

* + Madelina (happy): Did someone say parties?! I LOVE PARTIES!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; serious): Calm down right here! We’re here for a murder investigation, not for fun!

* + Ophelia (thinking): Yeah, but seeing that someone from the party was here, it’s important for us to attend. But it doesn’t say where the party i-

The team then hear cheers...

* + Zachary and Yoyo (Zachary; smirking): I think we know where to head now...

* + Ophelia (serious): Alright guys! Lets go and have a chat with Dionysus!

* Chat with Dionysus (1 star; Pre-request: Recover faded invite)

* + Dionysus (smirking): Stop right there! I don’t remember inviting any if you?

* + Ophelia (sweating): We’re sorry, we only came here to speak with y-

* + Dionysus (laughing): It’s alright! Most of the guests here didn’t receive an invite anyway. You’re free to gatecrash and grab anything you want here!

* + Madelina (happy): Do you here that guys? We’re invited! Now if you mind me, I have to grab one of those cookies!

* + Yoyo (blushing): Madelina, you’ve just eaten half an hour ago, you don’t want to get sick do you?

* + Madelina (eating): Bullshit. Besides, you gotta work to keep that ass!

Madelina slaps her own bum...

* + Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): The only thing you’ll be getting from eating that much is diabetes!

* + Madelina (mocking; baby voice): LoOk wHo’S tALkiNg!

* + Dionysus (smirking): I like you... What’s your name?

* + Madelina (smiling; teeth covered with chocolate): Madelina Alonzo!

* + Dionysus (grinning): It’s a pleasure to meet you, Madelina. You may like to try some of the truffles over here, I’ve dug them fresh from France!

* + Madelina (disgusted): Ugh... Fungi... I’ll pass...

* + Dionysus (smiling): Oh well... Anyway, what are you standing here for, don’t you want to Paaaaaaaaaaartyyyyy!

* + Ophelia (thinking): Actually, Dionysus... We didn’t come her for fun. A girl got murdered in the woods and we have reasons to believe the killer may be in your party....

* + Dionysus (eye rolling): Bummer! It’s probably just one of my maenads going wild...

* + Dionysus (raising his hat): But you can search the party if you’d like to, while I speak to that smoking hot nymph over there!

* + Ophelia (glad): You heard what he said Mia, we have permission to search the party, let’s do it!

* Investigate the party (Pre-request: Chat with Dionysus)

* + Ophelia (curious): Mia, have you found anything interesting?

* + Ophelia (thinking): I wonder what these pieces of leather are. You think we should fix it?

* Restore leather hat (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the party)

* + Ophelia (thinking): So the leather pieces are from a farmer’s hat, but how would we know who it belongs to-

* + Lityerses (pissed): Hey! Drop that hat you swizzling thieves!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Woah! There’s no need to be violent sir, you can have the hat, we just want to speak with you...

* Talk to Lityerses (1 star; Victim identified: Zoe of Phrygia; Pre-request: Restore leather hat)

* + Lityerses (grinning): I haven’t see a clear view of your face. I apologize if I was a bit rude earlier. Perhaps a cup of pomegranate wine would make it up?

* + Ophelia (sweating): No thanks, I’m kind on a sobriety road at the moment...

* + Lityerses (thinking): That’s pitiable. Anyway, what did you want to speak with me about? I’m a bit in a hurry, my father told me to go back to the woods and look for my sister. He’s really worried about her...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Sister? Now that I think of it, you look familiar! Was your sister wearing a blue dress last time you saw her!

* + Lityerses (shocked): That’s her alright! Where did you see her? Is she with you?!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Yes... But unfortunately she’s dead, we found her next to a rabbit hole decapitated!

* + Lityerses (panicking): Oh shit! My father is going to kill me when he finds out!

* + Ophelia (confused): Aren’t you more affected by the fact your sister is dead?

* + Lityerses (blushing): Of course I am... But my father can be a bit merciless...

* + Ophelia (curious): Who’s your father anyway? You didn’t even tell us your name.

* + Lityerses (scratching his head): Oh yeah, sorry... My name’s Lityerses, and my father is Midas of Phrygia..

* + Ophelia (shocked): Midas?! As in THE King Midas with the golden touch? That must’ve been where the trail came from. And the victim must be his daughter, Marigold!

* + Lityerses (awkward grin): Actually her name is Zoe, marigold is my dad’s nickname for her. Anyway, if you need me I’ll be at the woods picking mushrooms, I don’t want my father to see me when he receives the news...

* + Ophelia (covering her face): Mia, we ought to go to Midas and tell him the news. That will be fun...

* Inform King Midas of Zoe’s death (1 star; Pre-request: Talk to Lityerses)

* + Midas (furious; crushing a pomegranate on his hand): What do you mean that my daughter is dead? Where is Lityerses?!

* + Ophelia (sweating): He’s in the woods, looking for Zoe... Hunting for the killer...

* + Midas (pissed): I swear when he comes back he’ll be in big trouble! How could he let that happen? This must be an attack toward me!

* + Midas (angry): I don’t know you two ladies, but I want you to go look for her assassin and bring them to me! I’ll make them pay for even thinking they could touch one hair from my marigold!

* + Ophelia (blushing): That went smoothly, at least we know who might NOT be the killer.. sheesh...

* Autopsy victim’s body (Killer attribute: killer eats pomegranates; Killer attribute: killer uses mushrooms)

* + Hasuro (pissed): Remind me that from now on, I should expect to autopsy nearly ANYTHING. From all I know, I’d probably have a three-headed dog on my table in the future!

* + Ophelia (laughing): You know that will never happen!

* + Hasuro (smug): You wanna bet on it?

* + Ophelia (innocent smirk): Fine, I’ll give you an a hundred dollar bill if THAT happens!

* + Hasuro (innocent smirk): Deal. Anyway, you probably wonder if I found anything that’ll help you and I assure you I did!

* + Hasuro (thinking): First I found some liquid on the blood and it turns out to be juice from pomegranates...

* + Hasuro (glad): I then found crumbs on her dress! At first I thought it may be bread but it turns out it is fungi!

* + Ophelia (glad): So we know the killer eats fungi and pomegranates! Thanks Hasuro!

Later....

* + Ophelia (thinking): Mia, now that we know what to look for in our killer, lets talk about our suspects...

* + Ophelia (blushing): Lityerses seems to care more about his father’s wrath than his own sister’s death and after meeting his dad, I can tell why...

* + Ophelia (thinking): Midas was also holding a pomegranate while we were talking to him which matches one of our killer attributes... Lityerses mentioned picking up mushrooms which fit another attribute of ours and he also offered to bring us a cup of pomegranate wine...

* + Ophelia (serious): Also seeing that pomegranate wine is a beverage in the party, it’s wise to assume the host, Dionysus enjoys pomegranate and he mentioned truffles too, which is a time of mushroom-

Ophelia and Mia suddenly hear yelling coming from the woods...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia you hear that? There’s a fight going on!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Oh god... I don’t want to get involved, but I guess we have to check...

## Chapter 2

* + Ophelia (thinking): Mia, now that we know what to look for in our killer, lets talk about our suspects...

* + Ophelia (blushing): Lityerses seems to care more about his father’s wrath than his own sister’s death and after meeting his dad, I can tell why...

* + Ophelia (thinking): Midas was also holding a pomegranate while we were talking to him which matches one of our killer attributes... Lityerses mentioned picking up mushrooms which fit another attribute of ours and he also offered to bring us a cup of pomegranate wine...

* + Ophelia (serious): Also seeing that pomegranate wine is a beverage in the party, it’s wise to assume the host, Dionysus enjoys pomegranate and he mentioned truffles too, which is a time of mushroom-

Ophelia and Mia suddenly hear yelling coming from the woods...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia you hear that? There’s a fight going on!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Oh god... I don’t want to get involved, but I guess we have to check...

In the woods...

* + Maenads (Drusilla; grinning): Put down your weapon, goat... Drusilla and her friends won’t hurt you. Would we, girls? We just want to play!

* + Rolland (gritting his teeth; carrying a bloody hoe): Are you taking me as a fool?! Stay back or I will kill every single one of you, you filthy beasts! Shoo!

* + Maenads (Drusilla; eye rolling): The goat’s no fun! Drusilla says we find someone else!

* + Rolland (grinning): Yeah, go away! Next time think before you mess with a Sagittarius!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia, have you seem those nymphs! They’re completely covered with blood! These must be maenads! Dionysus’ female followers!

* + Ophelia (serious): Speaking of blood, that hoe the satyr used to shoo them away, it was covered with it! It must be the weapon used to decapitate Zoe, lets go talk to the satyr before he gets away!

* Confront Rolland (1 star)

* + Ophelia (gritting her teeth): Hey, you! Stop right there!

* + Rolland (eye rolling): For the gods’ sake! Can’t a faun eat in peace?! Go bother someone else! Steal someone else’s pomegranat-

* + Rolland (crossing his arms): Oh! Thank god! For a second I thought you two are these insufferable maenads! It’s a pity the wine god made them unkillable!

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): And it sure is pitiable Zoe of Phrygia didn’t have that type of armor!

* + Rolland (confused): Zoe of Phrygia? And I should know her because?

* + Ophelia (pissed): Because you’re holding the weapon that was used to kill on your hands! How many people did you use it on?

* + Rolland (grinning): Oh? That old thing? I found right laying at the nearby marigold field. I don’t whose is it, but it was already covered with blood when I picked it up!

* + Ophelia (thinking): A marigold field? Where could we find it?

* + Rolland (giving direction): Just go a couple of kilometers to the left and you’ll find it there. You can’t miss it. I found the hoe on the hill!

* + Ophelia (serious): Mia, the killer might have went there to dispose of the murder weapon and we know that Zoe was a fan of marigolds and may have went there too. Thank you for the directions and if you don’t mind, we’d like to take that hoe from you!

* + Rolland (crossing his arms): Here you can have it... It’s a pleasure meeting you, name’s Rolland Overton by the way..

* Investigate marigold field (Pre-request: Confront Rolland)

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): I don’t see a point searching that pile of flowers, seeing were in a literal field but sure... Go ahead...

* + Ophelia (thinking): And look there’s a silver bracelet over there but who does it belong to? There’s some ornaments on them maybe identifying them will tell us whose bracelet this is...

* Identify ornaments on bracelet (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate marigold field)

* + Ophelia (thinking): So that necklace belongs to Drusilla who is a-

* + Ophelia (sweating): Maenad... You know.... One of those beasts Rolland was fighting with... Fuck...

* + Ophelia (holding her head): Well... We have bo choice but to talk with her, let’s just hope she doesn’t attack us...

* Talk to Drusilla (1 star; Pre-request: Identify ornaments on bracelet)

* + Drusilla (grinning): Aren’t you such pretty girls.... Why don’t you come and have a drink with Drusilla...

* + Ophelia (trying to sound threatening): Listen here you rogue nymph! We are both guests of Dionysus’ party and if you hurt either us, the wine god won’t let our deaths go unpunished!

* + Drusilla (puppy eyes): But Drusilla just wants to play...

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): And we don’t want to play with Drusilla... We want to know if Drusilla hurt Zoe...

* + Drusilla (smiling): Drusilla doesn’t know who Zoe is. Drusilla doesn’t hurt anybody, she only drinks, dances and picks up pretty things like mushrooms! Now Drusilla has to go, her friends are waiting for her!

* Search pile of marigolds (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate marigold field)

* + Ophelia (shocked): Look at that ring! It’s covered with blood! It must be the killer’s!

* + Ophelia (thinking): The symbol on it looks familiar but I can’t put it on my head what it is, we should send it to Yoyo and see if she could figure it out...

* Send ring to Yoyo (Killer attribute: Killer is Sagittarius)

* + Yoyo (curious): Ophelia, I have a question for you... Do you believe in astrology?

* + Ophelia (thinking): Well... If you’re asking me if we should judge people based on their star sign, I think it’s ridiculous.. But I do believe there’s some truth in them..

* + Ophelia (covering her face): For example, I dated Gerard knowing that our zodiacs are incompatible and we know what happened next... And I don’t dislike Susan but we do argue a lot and I think our zodiac sign has something to do with it...

* + Yoyo (thinking): This is interesting...

* + Ophelia (confused): Anyway, why are you asking us thi-

* + Ophelia (shocked): Wait! I remember now where I’ve seen the symbol on the ring! It’s meant to represent a star sign isn’t it?

* + Yoyo (glad): Yes! The centaur represents the Sagittarius star sign! And seeing that the ring is too big for the victim’s fingers...

* + Ophelia (glad): It must mean that the killer is Sagittarius!

* + Ophelia (thinking): And you’re right Mia, the satyr we met bragged about being one after shooing off the maenads. It’s also a known fact that Sagittarius is Dionysus’ star sign too!

* Send hoe to Maverick (Killer attribute: Killer has blond hair)

* + Maverick (grinning): This hoe gives me nostalgia of the day my ex Savannah was murdered... God, I miss those days...

* + Ophelia (disgusted): Ok, I don’t that Savannah girl or what happened between you but you seriously need to glut over her murdered? That’s fucked up!

* + Maverick (eye rolling): Whatever you say Little Miss Paranoid. Anyway, I guess we’re not here to talk about my ex and instead of what I found examining that weapon...

* + Maverick (glad): And I found strands of blond hair on the handle!

* + Ophelia (confused): Isn’t the victim blonde? How do we know it’s not from her?

* + Maverick (smirking): Because the strands I found are short, the victim’s hair was long...

* + Ophelia (glad): Thank you for the clue, Maverick! Mia, lets make a note on that!

Later...

* + Ophelia (serious): Mia, we found quite a lot of evidence against our killer, but it isn’t enough and we don’t know everything about our suspects yet, I say we take another look at Dionysus’ picnic and perhaps we’ll find new leads on the murder!

* Investigate the picnic

* + Ophelia (thinking): I don’t see what’s interesting with that champagne bo- wait! There’s a note attached to it but the content is faded...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Don’t tell me that jar contains what I think it is?!

* + Ophelia (disgusted): Ugh... GROSS! Who the hell peed on it, lets just send it to Hasuro!

* + Recover faded note (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the picnic)

* + Ophelia (thinking): So the champagne bottle is a gift from Dionysus to Zoe?

* + Ophelia (shocked): Wait! Am I reading that correctly? Dionysus gifted alcohol to a freaking child!

* + Ophelia (serious): We need to confront him about this!

* Confront Dionysus over his gift for the victim (1 star; Pre-request: Recover faded note)

* + Dionysus (winking): How are you two ladies enjoying the party, I hoped you liked the meals, particularly the alcohol...

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): Speaking of alcohol... We found that bottle laying near one of the picnic carpets...

* + Dionysus (smirking): Oh yeah... That’s one of the best and most expensive champagnes from France, I was planning to gift it to dear Marigold for her 13th birthday, but seeing that she can’t drink it now you may take it...

* + Ophelia (sweating): For her... 13th birthday? Don’t you think that’s a little too young for her to start drinking!

* + Dionysus (crossing his arms): Oh! For crying on a bucket! I started drinking way earlier than that, at 13 she should be developing as woman by now!

* + Dionysus (eye rolling): But just like you, Midas didn’t see it that way, he didn’t want his daughter to drink until she was SIXTEEN! Is he serious? He’s acting as if I’m giving her German whiskey or one of those strong stuff!

* + Ophelia (disgusted): 13 is FAR from being a woman! Where I’m from, we can’t drink until we’re at least 21!

* + Dionysus (shocked): 21?! How dreadful! What us your government thinking?! I can’t imagine how your life is like you poor Americans!

* Send jar of urine to Hasuro (Pre-request: Investigate the picnic)

* + Hasuro (disgusted): In the name of god! How many times do I have to tell you to warn me before you bring anything disgusting for me to analyze!

* + Hasuro (crossing his arms): If you are wondering who that pee belongs to, I took some tests and it turns out it’s the victim’s.

* + Ophelia (shocked): But why would the victim pee on a jar? I’m pretty sure I saw Dionysus have built outhouses for the guests to use!

* + Hasuro (awkward grin): Ophelia... Back in the old days, the science... wasn’t advance and there were different methods to test a girl’s fertility...

* + Hasuro (sweating): One of them is to have a girl pee on a jar and having it left untouched for weeks and if worms form then the girl is barren. Obviously this isn’t true but you know how superstitious people were. TOO superstitious...

* + Ophelia (disgusted): Wait... But who would be testing her fertility? The girl isn’t even 13 yet!

* + Ophelia (serious): The only person I have in mind right now is Midas but what did he want to learn that for? Let’s talk to him!

* + Confront Midas over testing Zoe’s fertlity (1 star; Pre-request: Send jar of urine to Hasuro)

* + Midas (grinning): Aren’t you such a lovely lady? Would mind sharing your star sign with me?

* + Madelina (twirling her hair): I never studied astrology... But like I was born in November 23, so I guess I’m like a Scorpio? Or a Sagittarius? I don’t really know, maybe Sagittarius...

* + Midas (happy): Sagittarius? What a coincidence! You have the same star sign as me and my family! No wonder we clicked on!

* + Ophelia (blushing): Madelina, would you mind if we borrowed Midas?

* + Madelina (blowing a kiss): Of course not, I’ll talk to you later, Midas..

* + Ophelia (serious): Alright, now that we have you for ourselves, we’d like to question you about that jar we found, why were you testing your daughter’s fertility?

* + Midas (shrugging his shoulders): I just wanted to make sure that she had become a woman before taking her to Apollo!

* + Ophelia (confused): Taking her for Apollo for what?

* + Midas (crossing his arms): You see those donkey ears? Where do you think I got them from?

* + Ophelia (sweating): These are your real ears... I thought it was a costume, since we’re in a costume party and all...

* + Midas (furious): I wish it was a costume, but Apollo gave them to me because he was bitter I voted for Pan over him in a musical contest!

* + Midas (pissed): He made me the laughing stock of Phrygia! And I begged him to give me my ears back but he told me there is a condition...

* + Midas (crossing his arms): And it is for him to sleep with my daughter...

* + Ophelia (furious): You were prostituting your daughter to get rid of your curse?

* + Midas (shocked): Look! You’re making me seem like a bad father but I promise you it’s not what it seems like! I wasn’t going to force my daughter to do things against her will! I was going to ask her if she would mind offering herself to Apollo if she turned 13!

* + Ophelia (disgusted): And let me guess what would happen if she refused, you’d kill her?

* + Midas (furious): Of course not! I would never do that to my dear Marigold! Now get out of my sight!

Later...

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): You know Mia; this whole case... It’s just getting really disturbing...

* + Ophelia (covering her face): First we learn that Dionysus planned to give Zoe wine for her 13th birthday... Which is... idiotic in many levels!

* + Ophelia (disgusted): But it is no where as bad as what her father was setting her up for! I mean, who arranges for his daughter to be groome-

Suddenly the two girls here screaming from the woods...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia, do you hear that?! Someone is screaming for help!

* + Ophelia (worried): Oh god... Lets go and see what trouble they’re in!

Into the woods...

* + Maenads (Eating; Drusilla): Drusilla likes meat. Meat is good!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Oh my god... Don’t tell me... Is that a human?!

## Chapter 3

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): You know Mia; this whole case... It’s just getting really disturbing...

* + Ophelia (covering her face): First we learn that Dionysus planned to give Zoe wine for her 13th birthday... Which is... idiotic in many levels!

* + Ophelia (disgusted): But it is no where as bad as what her father was setting her up for! I mean, who arranges for his daughter to be groome-

Suddenly the two girls here screaming from the woods...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia, do you hear that?! Someone is screaming for help!

* + Ophelia (worried): Oh god... Lets go and see what trouble they’re in!

Into the woods...

* + Maenads (Eating; Drusilla): Drusilla likes meat. Meat is good!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Oh my god... Don’t tell me... Is that a human?!

* + Maenads (Drusilla; grinning): Look! It’s Drusilla’s new friends! Come here and eat with Drusilla!

* + Ophelia (furious): As if! You three are coming with us! Dionysus will decided what should be done with you!

* Bring Drusilla and her friends to the picnic (1 star)

* + Maenads (Drusilla; happy): It’s the wine god! Drusilla thinks it’s an honor to meet you!

* + Dionysus (innocent smirking): Oh! It’s you again... What did Drusilla do this time...

* + Maenads (Drusilla; puppy eyes): Nothing. Drusilla and her friends were just eating and these two evil girl stole our food...

* + Ophelia (pissed): They were eating human flesh! Those nymphs took a hiker by surprise and killed him!

* + Dionysus (crossing his arms): Now Drusilla... That wasn’t very nice of you and your friends. You’ve been really BAD girls today...

* + Maenads (Drusilla; begging): Drusilla is so sorry, Dionysus. Drusilla promises she will not do it again! Please forgive Drusilla!

Drusilla makes sure that her breasts are visible as she begs Dionysus, in order to seduce him...

* + Dionysus (innocent smirk): Alas! What’s done was done, Drusilla and her friends can go back to the woods, just don’t get into any trouble, will you-

* + Midas (furious): Is that all what you’re going to do to them? Don’t you see what’s I’m seeing! Those ratchets are the ones’ that killed my daughter!

* + Dionysus (crossing his arms): Now Drusilla, is the golden king telling a fact?

* Maenads (Drusilla; smiling): Oh no! Drusilla didn’t hurt any little girls, but Drusilla would like the taste of fresh meat!

* + Midas (pissed): You litt-

* + Dionysus (awkward grin): Midas please, I’m sure that Drusilla is bluffing, if she had killed your daughter, she would have admitted it, right?

* + Ophelia (sweating): I think it’s better for us to stay out, I sense a fight is about to go on...

* + Ophelia (thinking): You’re right... I didn’t of it before, but Rolland Overton mentioned that the maenads tried to rob him off his pomegranates...

* + Ophelia (serious): Anyway, I think we should investigate the woods again!

* Investigate the rabbit hole (Pre-request: Bring Drusilla and her friends to the picnic)

* + Ophelia (thinking): It seems like someone is trying to hunt here....

* + Ophelia (shocked): And look! There’s a sign next to it, showing a drawing of the victim with a cross over her!

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): Mia, I believe I’ve seen that trap, Rolland was dragging a rope with plenty of these with him. We need to question him about this. What else did you find?

* + Ophelia (sad): Aww... Look it’s a plush bunny, it must’ve been the victim’s but someone had torn it up, who could it be?

* + Ophelia (serious): Lets send it to Maverick and see if he could figure it out!

* Question Rolland on why he warned the victim away (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the rabbit hold)

* + Ophelia (serious): Mr Overton, I believe we informed you of the murder at the woods, but it seems that you knew who the victim was before her death...

* + Rolland (eye rolling): So that little brat got oofed? Good riddance!

* + Ophelia (confused): Sorry if I sound nosey, but what did that little girl do to you for you to glut over her murder?

* + Rolland (furious): I’ll tell you what happened! That little bitch made me skip my lunch!

* + Rolland (crossing his arms): I have set up a trap next to a rabbit hole consisting of a cage, a branch to carry it and a mushroom as a bait. The plan was that once the hare goes to each the fungi, the cage would fall over it to trap it...

* + Rolland (shocked): And it worked! But when I looked away for one moment, that brat went and freed the hare!

* + Rolland (furious): Her reason? Is that we shouldn’t kill animals! Can you believe? This is coming from the mouth of something born of privilege! She has no idea how us satyrs have to live and provide to our families, I couldn’t care less about that rabbit’s life, I just didn’t want to sleep with an empty stomach!

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): That must be frustrating, but you didn’t kill the victim on the spot after she rid you of your meal, did you?

* + Rolland (shocked): Of course not! What sort of savage do you think I am?!

* Send plushie to Maverick (Pre-request: Investigate the rabbit hole)

* + Maverick (eye rolling): I am sooo used to you bringing me some cool-ass weapons, a stuffed animal is probably the last thing I’d expect...

* + Ophelia (thinking): It does seem a bit random, I admit. But we would like to know what weapon was used to rip it?

* + Maverick (shrugged): None! The vandal used their bare hands to rip that toy apart!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Their bare hands?! Wow they must be tough!

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): And there’s only one person from our suspect list who I can imagine being able to do this: Lityerses...

* + Ophelia (confused): But why would he ruin his sister’s toy? Let’s ask him!

* Confront Lityerses on destroying his sister’s toy (1 star; Pre-request: Send plushie to Maverick)

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): Prince Lityerses, we found that toy next to the rabbit hole your sister died at and we have evidence to believe you ripped it off...

* + Lityerses (shocked): How could you possibly know that!

* + Ophelia (serious): Science has advanced a lot over the years, now tell us... Why did do that?

* + Lityerses (eye rolling): Well... You asked me why my sister’s death didn’t take a toll on me and the truth is... Neither of us had gotten along...

* + Lityerses (covering his face): Zoe has always been my father’s favorite child and no matter I achieve, father didn’t pay attention to me...

* + Lityerses (angry): I was getting sick of it! It was always Zoe this, Zoe that. He never spoke of me proudly and while Zoe can do the bare minimum and he’d praise her, he always expected a lot from me being his son!

* + Ophelia (covering her face): Favoritism can be really hard to overcome, but I hope that your jealousy toward your sister didn’t blind you with rage...

Later...

* + Ophelia (serious): Now that we got to know our suspects more, it’s time for us to look for more evidence against our killer, let’s give the marigold field another look!

* Investigate the hill

* + Ophelia (shocked): That bow matches the victim’s dress, it must be hers!

* + Ophelia (serious): Lets examine it and see if we could find anything against the killer!

* Examine hair bow (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the hill)

* + Ophelia (glad): Now that we managed to collect some fibers, lets take them to Hasuro!

* Send fibers to Hasuro (Killer attribute: Killer wears a leopard print)

* + Hasuro (thinking): Ophelia, Mia, I examined the fibers you brought to me and some of them were just the victim’s hair...

* + Hasuro (glad): But a couple of them were fur! Real leopard fur!

* + Ophelia (confused): Leopard? What the hell is such an animal doing in France? Did it escape from the circus or something?

* + Hasuro (smirking): I said the fur was a leopard’s, but I didn’t say it came DIRECTLY from them. As you know, leopard clothing designs have been hip for years!

* + Ophelia (disgusted): Are you saying the killer’s a fur-wearer? And I thought they couldn’t get any more low! Mia, lets add that to their profile!

Later...

* + Ophelia (glad): Mia, I believe we have all we need to incriminate our killer! It’s time to make an arrest!

* Arrest the killer (1 star; Killer arrested: Lityerses of Phrygia)

* + Ophelia (disgusted): Prince Lityerses! Your relationship with your sister may have been rocky, but you were the last out of all the suspects I expected to be low enough to kill her!

* + Lityerses (shocked): How could you accuse me of such a thing! I may have had great envy toward my sister but I would never harm my own flesh and blood!

* + Ophelia (serious): Then can you explain the leopard flesh we found on your sister’s hair bow?

* + Lityerses (blushing): Look, us Greeks have different morals than you when it comes to wearing fur, my own father’s dress is completely made of leopard fur!

* + Ophelia (crossing her arms): Yeah, but your father doesn’t seem to like fungus...

* + Lityerses (appalled): Dionysus is wearing a neckerchief made of leopard fur and enjoys the taste of truffles, you can’t seriously suggest he is the killer?

* + Ophelia (pissed): No because Dionysus isn’t blond! Don’t try to play games, we know it’s you, but why did you kill your sister?

* + Lityerses (panicking): I didn’t mean to! It was an accident!

* + Ophelia (curious): Forgive me if I’m curious, but how could you possibly DECAPITATE your sister by accident?!

* + Lityerses (shocked): I’m telling you the truth! Just hear me out, ok?

* + Lityerses (covering his face): You see... When we arrived to the party, my father realized he forgot to bring a gift to honor Dionysus and started panicking....

* + Lityerses (blushing): And well... He remembered seeing a beautiful white hare hopping through the woods and he told me to go hunt it as an offering for Dionysus...

* + Lityerses (covering his face): What neither of us knew is that Zoe was out in the woods playing with that hare...

* + Lityerses (serious): I went to hunt that rodent and followed all the way to his home...

* + Lityerses (sweating): I trapped him and swung my weeding tool, but what I didn’t realize is that my sister was watching and as I swung my hoe she went between me and the hare, and when I looked expecting to see the rabbit dead...

* + Lityerses (shocked): Instead I saw the lifeless body of my sister with her head detached from her neck!

* + Lityerses (panicking): I didn’t know what to do! I knew my father would kill me if he learned of what happened, so I went to the marigold field to dispose of my weapon so no one would track me and I washed myself in the rivet before going back to the party!

* + Ophelia (covering her face): Lityerses, we understand that you didn’t mean to kill your sister but unfortunately we have to take you to your father...

At the party....

* + Midas (shocked): Lityerses?! It was you?! But how could you do that, TO YOUR OWN SISTER!!

* + Lityerses (crying): I didn’t mean to do that! I swear, please forgive me father!

* + Midas (sympathetic): Now... Don’t cry, my boy... Here, take my hand...

Lityerses took his father’s hand and realized he’s not wearing his gloves...

* + Lityerses (shocked): Father, you’re no-

Lityerses then turns to gold...

* + Lityerses (still shocked face): ....

* + Ophelia (shocked): Ah! He’s... He’s frozen!

* + Midas (crossing his arms): Seems like I have a gift for Dionysus after all, thank you for your help, girls. I hope that teaches my son a lesson...

After getting out of Midas’ sight...

* + Ophelia (covering her face): I understand that Lityerses had to be held accountable for his sister’s death. But he really didn’t deserve this, it was all an accident after all!

* + Ophelia (serious): Putting my sentiments aside, now that we’re done solving the murder, we fan focus on other things now. Particularly, finding Artemis!

## The Hunt For Orion (2/6)

At the picnic buffet...

* + Ophelia (hungry): Before we continue our journey, can we stay a little and eat? I’m starving! I haven’t eaten all day!

* + Ophelia (glad): Thanks for understanding, Mia! What do you think I should have? Cookies, muffins-

* + Zachary (happy): Oh! There you two are!

* + Ophelia (startled): Zachary! Don’t come to me like that! You know easily frightened I get!

* + Zachary (awkward grin): My apologies, Ophelia. I just came by to tell you that Natalie has requested to talk to you both!

* + Ophelia (eating a sandwich): Tell her to wait! I haven’t had breakfast today and I’m not moving until I’m done eating that sandwic-

* + Chet (panicking): You! I-i-i- need y-y-your HELP!

* + Zachary (appeasing): Woah! Take a deep breath and calm down.... Now what’s bothering you?

* + Chet (covering his face): I-I need your help! It’s urgent!

* + Zachary (friendly grin): Well, no worries! Mia and I will be there for you!

* See what’s Chet’s problem (1 star)

* + Zachary (curious): Your name is Chet, right? Would you care to explain what’s causing you bother?

* + Chet (panicking): I-I-It’s M-madelina!

* + Zachary (confused): What about Madelina?

* + Chet (shocked): L-l-look!

Chet points at a golden statue resembling Madelina....

* + Madelina (smiling): ...

* + Zachary (smiling): That’s amazing! Did you sculpt that? I’m sure Madelina will love i-

* + Zachary (shocked): WAIT?! Is that Madelina?! What the hell happened to her?!

* + Midas (blushing): I think I may have a bit of responsibility with that...

* + Zachary (serious): King Midas... You have a lot to explain!

* Confront Midas for turning Madelina to gold (1 star; Pre-request: See what’s Chet’s problem)

* + Zachary (serious): King Midas, can you explain to us how did that happen?!

* + Midas (shocked): I didn’t mean to freeze the poor girl! I was just passing a drink to her, I didn’t realize I was not wearing my gloves!

* + Zachary (covering his face): God... What are we gonna do, what are we gonna d-

* + Zachary (shocked): Wait! I remember something! Didn’t you turn your own daughter to gold before?

* + Midas (thinking): Well... Yes... But I managed to revert the curse....

* + Zachary (serious): We know that, but how did you bring her back?

* + Midas (smiling): Interesting that you asked. I had to wash her with the water of River Pactolous!

* + Zachary (shocked): River Pactolous?! But that’s in Turkey! How the hell are we gonna bring Madelina back now?!

* + Midas (confident): Oh! That’s not much of a problem! I tell my son to fill our canteens with water from the river whenever we leave for a trip in case any accidents happen, I’m sure he did the same for that one!

* + Zachary (happy): That’s great! Where’s the canteen?

* + Midas (shrugging his shoulders): How am I supposed to know? It was my son’s responsibility to keep it with him and I have no idea where he left it?

* + Zachary (thinking): Mia, you suggest that we go to the marigold field? Whatever you say, let’s go!

* Investigate the marigold field (Pre-request: Confront Midas for turning Madelina to gold)

* + Zachary (shocked): Mia, that must be the canteen, but it’s empty! The water was poured out of it...

* + Zachary (serious): There’s still a little left! Mia I have an idea! Fix that bucket for me, don’t ask me why!

* Restore bucket (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the marigold field)

* + Zachary (smiling): Alright, it looks as perfect as new! Now look and see what I have to do.

Zachary poured the water left in the canteen into his hand and starts meditating...

* + Zachary (meditating): ....

Drops of water then come out of the ground and fill the bucket...

* + Zachary (smiling): And here we have water from River Pactolous in our hands! Let’s go save Madelina now!

* Turn Madelina back to normal (1 star; Pre-request: Restore bucket)

* + Zachary (smiling): We’re back! Now move aside! We’ll splash that water on Madelina and she’ll be back to herself!

* + Chase (excited): Wait! Can I have the honor!

* + Zachary (thinking): Sure...

Chase splashes the water on Madelina...

* + Madelina (startled): Ah!

Madelina is back to life...

* + Madelina (freaking out): My hair... My clothes! My makeup!

* + Chase (laughing): Hahahahahahah!

* + Madelina (furious; pulling out Holly): You- You piece of shit!

* + Chase (sweating): Wait! Calm down... It’s not what it looks like... I did it to save your lif-

Madelina charges a spell that misses him!

* + Chase (startled): Ah!

* + Madelina and Holly (Madelina; pissed): Come back here you dirty pig!

* + Zachary (chuckling): Glad to see everything’s back to normal...

* See what Natalie wants from you (1 star)

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; happy): I’m so glad you girls agreed to make time for me!

* + Ophelia (curious): That’s the least we could do for you to reward you for your help. What do you want us to help you with?

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; blushing): It’s actually about your search. I let Bambi graze some grass and her alarmed me that he senses not one, but two of Artemis’ huntresses present in the woods!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Why didn’t you just tell Zachary, we would have came here in no time! Where does he sense the huntresses?

Natalie pats Bambi

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; sweet smile): Bambi, would you mind leading the way for these too girls?

* + Natalie and Bambi (Bambi; hesitant): Urp...

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; smiling): It’s okay, you can trust them! They won’t you... Would they?

* + Ophelia (blushing): Of course not! I am completely against causing harm to animals... Except those that are good to eat... But this is another story...

* + Natalie and Bambi (Bambi; eye rolling): Urp...

* + Natalie and Bambi (Natalie; happy): Good boy!

* + Ophelia (glad): Alright Mia, lets go find these huntresses!

* Investigate the woods (Pre-request: See what Natalie wants from you)

* + Ophelia (nervous): Um... Bambi.. Did you find anything... boy?

* + Bambi (sniffing pile of acorns): Urp!

* + Ophelia (thinking): Mia, I think there’s something under these acorns, why don’t you search them?

* Search pile of acorns (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the woods)

* + Ophelia (shocked): That’s a bow! It must belong to one of the huntresses! Do you recognize it, Bambi?

* + Bambi (agreeing): Urp!

* + Ophelia (glad): I’ll take that as a yes! We would use that to track down the huntress and maybe we’ll get to Artemi-

* + Ophelia (shocked): Do you here that? Someone’s coming? We should hide! Quick!

The two girls and Bambi hide. Two huntresses then come out, a dark-skinned teenager and a stern Chinese woman hitting 30...

* + Ling (pissed): Honestly Renée, how can you be so careless? Losing your bow? Do you know what that says about you as a huntress?

* + Ginny (blushing): I know! I’m a terrible huntress! I’m so sorry!

* + Ling (holding her head): Is this where you remember last seeing your bow?

* + Ginny (sweating): Y-yes... It must be here somewhere... Where is it?

* + Ling (crossing her arms): Be quick! I want to find that stag before lunchtime! Artemis won’t like us coming back empty-handed!

Behind the trees...

* + Ophelia (shocked): Mia, they’re looking for Bambi!

* + Ophelia (sweating): We need to get away as fast as possible, if they see us with the stag, we’ll be in huge troubl-

* + Bambi (happy): URPPP!!!

Bambi runs and licks the teenage girl’s face, revealing the girls’ location...

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; being licked by Bambi; chuckling): Stop! You’re tickling me!

* + Ophelia (sweating): Oh shit! We have to ru-

* + Ling (angry; raising her bow): Stop where you are!

Ophelia and Mia stop...

* + Ophelia (panicking): Oh fuck! It’s too late!

* + Ling (serious): What were you doing with the stag!

* + Ophelia (shocked): Look, I know what it looks like! But we swear we weren’t kidnapping the stag! We just found him in the forest and took him to help us with our quest!

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; blushing): Wu Ling, maybe you should lower your bow... The girls don’t look threatening to m-

* + Ling (eye rolling): Did Geoffrey Weinstein look like a threat to you?

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; sad): Uh- no, madame...

* + Ling (serious): So stay silent!

* + Ling (pissed): Anyway, back to you! What type of quest required you to steal one of Artemis’ stags?

* + Ophelia (nervous): Well... um... A quest which involves finding Artemis and her huntresses...

* + Ling (confused): Finding us? What the hell would you need from us?

* + Ophelia (serious): Look here, miss! We are here in behalf of the Xerdans to make a truce with Artemis! And we’re asking you if you could take us to your mistress to make a deal with her!

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; happy): A truce? I told you they came in peace, Ling! Of course you can come with us!

* + Ling (pissed): Renée! We can’t just trust them! We don’t even know them!

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; innocent smirk): Which is why it’s the perfect opportunity to broaden your horizons and get to know them!

* + Ling (eye rolling): Fine... We’ll take you to Artemis...

* + Ophelia (happy): That’s great!

* + Ling (covering her face): *sigh* Lady Artemis... Won’t like this at all...

* + Ophelia (warm smile): Hey... Thank you for talking sense to your friend...

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; sweet smile): No problem. Bambi seems to trust you and that’s all what I needed to know that you’re good. He’s usually not very trustful toward anyone...

* + Ophelia (biting her lips): I can tell... By the way, I believe this is your bow...

* + Ginny and Bambi (Ginny; happy): I knew it had to be here! Thank you so much!

* + Ophelia (smiling): You’re welcome!

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view**

Later, Ophelia and Mia led the two huntresses to the rest of their team....

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): Look who made it back!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Maverick; crossing his arms): What took you so long?!

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; shocked): We were so worried for yo- Wait? Who are these two people?

* + Ling and Ginny (Ling; disgusted): You didn’t mention you have... males in your group...

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Chase; eye rolling): Oh great! They brought feminists with them!

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Madelina; confused): What’s wrong with being a feminist?

* + Mia and Ophelia (Mia; fake smile): Guys... These are two of Artemis’ huntresses, they’ll be guiding us to her...

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; happy): That’s great! It’s really nice to meet you! My name is Hasuro Haku!

* + Ling and Ginny (Ling; eye rolling): Whatever...

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; curious): Where’s Natalie?

* + Natalie (smiling): I’m right here, is there anyway I could help you?

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; scratching his head): Well no.... We’re here to tell you that your job here is done and we’d like to thank you for helping us out...

* + Natalie (blushing): No problem! If you need me, you know where to find me! Bye!

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Zachary; smiling): Bye! I hope we get to see you again!

* + Ling (crossing her arms): Are you done yet? Because we’re ready to go now!

* + Ling (serious): Look! I may have agreed to take you to my mistress but I do not trust any single one of you! You can follow me but I want you to keep your distance. Got it? Good!

The group start moving....

* + Madelina, Chet and Chase (Madelina; eye rolling): I don’t know about you... But like... I dob’t like that chick!

* + Mia (crossing her arms): Who said we care about how you feel? She’s helping us in our quest and that’s all that matters!

* + Hasuro and Maverick (Hasuro; appalled): I’m sorry Mia, but I’m with Madelina on that one. I mean... Who hurt her?

* + Yoyo and Zachary (Yoyo; blushing): Guys... I think you’re being too harsh on her, she’s helping us out so she can’t be THAT bad, right?

The other huntress approached the group and they turn silent...

* + Ginny (awkward grin): Is everything fine? I’m sorry about Ling’s.... um... behavior, she has some trust issues and can be difficult to work with... sometimes...

* + Ophelia (neutral): It’s okay, we faced worse....

* + Ginny (smiling): I don’t I introduced myself. My name is Renée Diouf, but most of my friends call me Ginny! I’ve joined the hunt 5 years ago when I was like 16!

* + Ophelia (smiling): It’s nice to learn that about you, Ginny. My name is Ophelia Lincoln and these are my friends. Care to introduce yourselves, guys?

The team introduces themselves...

* + Ginny (happy): It’s a pleasure to meet you all, I’m sure Artemis and the other huntresses will be delighted to meet you too!

* + Ophelia (curious): Speaking of the huntresses, what are you gals doing here?

* + Ginny (smiling): We are here to...

Ling glares at Ginny...

* + Ling (serious): RENÉE!

* + Ginny (sweating): Well... I can’t say anything to you here, we’ll wait until we arrive at the hobbit...
