Chapter 1 (Female Version): The target

You were sitting at the local café, drinking tea. A newspaper says that the leaders of the world have gathered in one place to combat this new threat. However, you don't care. World events will follow their own paths.

You looked through police announcements.

You looked through it. There was an ad saying "Cannibals wanted, please apply".

You had stayed in Hjortemarka for a month and was getting tired of the place. You were looking for the next gig and searching the papers for any missing person.

You found one. A girl aged 16, Linda Trant, had gone missing in southern Norway. That seemed like the place to go.

You were about to pack your bags, then suddenly the telephone started ringing. The voice at the other end was a middle-aged man saying he had a gig for you.

"Hello, my name is Rost and I need a favor".

You ask "What kind of favor? I don't do romantic gestures."

"I don't need you to do a romantic gesture, I need you to kidnap and kill someone. (Sigh) Look, I don't really want to explain it over the phone, can we meet in person?"

You ask "Will I be rewarded for your mission? If not, there's something else I wanted to do."

"Well, I don't have much to offer other than money. But if you succeed, I promise you a lot of it."

You say "Sounds good."

"I knew you'd like it. Meet me at the Trollfjorden docks tomorrow, we'll take it from there."

The phone call finished, and you knew you had to go through with the assassination.

You lighted a cigarette and went to bed.

The next day you took a bus for the closest town near Trollfjorden, which was Kaupanger. It took hours with the bus before you arrived. After reaching your destination, you left the bus and walked around the city centre, and spotted a man with a mustache wearing a black jacket and shades.

The man was eating a banana and asked if you wanted some. You politely declined and sat down.

"So, you're the infamous Pringlenia? You don't look like a killer."

"It's an art, you become good at it if you study it."

"So, anyway the mission is to assassinate the infamous nightmare bloke, he just got out of jail, this is the organization' s chance to get rid of him. Well, I can't tell you much more because I have duty of confidentiality." the man told you about the mission.

You had no idea what he was talking about, but you nodded.

"Before you leave, here's 100.000 kroner as an advance payment."

"Thanks."

You pocketed the money and left the café.

What the man didn't know was that you were a procrastinator. As in, you liked to put things off until later.

You decided to go eat some ice cream at Yelo's. While you were there, you thought about what to do with the mission.

Afterwards you went shopping at the mall, still thinking about the mission.

You thought about not going, but you had already accepted it. You could go through with it, but that would be pretty bad as well.

You got caught in your thought bubble and realized that you missed the bus. "Oh crap" you thought. The next one wouldn't arrive for another hour. You decided to sit on a bench and wait.

Afterwards you ran to the bus like an idiot because you were worried that it would leave without you.

The bus was full, so you decided to walk home. It took longer than the bus, and you got a little lost on the way.

It took 6 days, and you were famished and bored when you arrived home. You had completely forgot about the mission. After eating some pasta you fell asleep.

The phone was ringing frantically. You have multiple calls from the same caller.

You reluctantly pick up the phone.

"Hello"

"Are you still alive? You would've been finished with an easy mission by now."

You ask "What mission?"

"What do you mean what mission, the nightmare terrorist! You know when I gave you 100.000 cash to kill him."

"Wait... YOU'RE Rost?"

"Yes of course, who the hell is it?"

You say "Oh, I didn't forget the mission, I was just on a training trip."

"A training trip? What kind of excuse is that?"

"I'm an assassin, I need to keep my edge. Sometimes I need to take some time off to sharpen my skills."

Rost was silent for a moment.

You say "This is how a professional completes the mission. Remember, I'm the infamous vigilante Pringlenia Teddy."

"You're right you know, I should start taking more breaks too, not just my employees."

You say "Interesting."

"Anyway, the target should be at his cabin in Bjørnevika, you can't miss it." Rost said

And with that, Rost has set up your next assassination.

You drive to the cabin in your Toyota Yaris. You really need a new car, as it's severely lacking in power to pull a trailer. Still, it gets you from A to B.

You arrived at the hotel in Bjørnevika and checked in at the front desk. The name at the hotel was 'Gaupungen Hotell'. There was a grill nearby where you decided to get some fried chicken. As you were taking a first bite a black hooded man and looked at you and pointed.

"Is that fried chicken?" he asked.

You looked at the man, who had a thick Danish accent. He was wearing all black and a black balaclava.

"Yeah, do you want some?"

You says "No, it’s my chicken, go away!!!"

"Pffft, no it's not. That's way too much for you."

"Just go away and die!"

You told the man to go away and some people started looking at you.

The man sat down and pointed his finger and whispered "I am here to help you with your mission, I can be your partner and take out the infamous Nightmare bloke."

"Who the fuck are you?"

"I'm just a man who wants to help you take out the Nightmare bloke, I'm not here for any bad reason."

The man looked at you straight in the eyes.

"I have the ability to suppress and negate dreams. Which will counteract his abilities. You need me on the team. No let me have some of that chicken please?" he said.

"Fine, but only a little bit, I'm not sharing this with you."

The man took the chicken from your hand.

"Thanks man, I'm Simon" he said.

"I'm Pringlenia"

You made a call to Rost.

> You says "Hey Rost, I have met with Simon"

"I told you to kill the sonofabitch" Rost responded angrily.

You says "Look, I'm at the hotel in Bjørnevika, and I've just met with this guy who can counteract the Nightmare bloke's abilities. Please, cut some slack. I'd rather be home at bed eating potato chips instead of doing this shitty ass job."

You could hear Rost judging your weight on the other side of the phone.

"Fine, you've only been there for 2 minutes, I'm not having one of my best agents sitting on her ass. Get into position now."

You went outside of the window where you were instructed to go. You sent in some smoke using your cigarette.

"Yes! I finally get to kill the Nightmare bastard!" you shouted.
