Serin Dixon

Link Townsend
Where do you think the voice came from?
Link Townsend
Hey Serin! Wait!
Serin Dixon
The voice is coming from below.
Serin Dixon

Serin Dixon

Serin Dixon

Link Townsend
╹▽╹ )/ You can't and shouldn't hit me.
Serin Dixon
Sigh. (This guy has no fear.) Let's go back--
Manager Cai
Employees of Story times production are not only hard-working and faithful towards their job but brave too, I see.
Manager Cai
But to me, you both are nothing more than fools with no sense of danger.
Manager Cai
What are you doing at the edge of the Valley?
Serin Dixon
How did you kn--
Manager Cai
That's not important right now.
Manager Cai
Nighttimes can be more dangerous than you think, Ms. Dixon.
Manager Cai
Don't underestimate Ghost Valley's rumours.
Manager Cai
Please have your seats in the Car, we need to head back.
Serin Dixon
Are you coming?
Serin Dixon
We heard screams.
Manager Cai
And you run to it?
Manager Cai
Are you stupid?
Serin Dixon
Now, you're crossing the line :glare:
Manager Cai
Sigh. I... Forgive my rudeness.
Manager Cai
It may occur offending to you, what I have told you so far, but please try to understand my side as well. This place is no joke, your carelessness can cost you, your li—
Serin Dixon
Did Mr. Thomas gave you the authority to interrupt in our work?
Serin Dixon
As much as I know, he didn't informed me about any restrictions nor did he said we will be assisted by the Manager.
Serin Dixon
To be honest, It's getting annoying Manager Cai. Your interruption is irritating me.
Serin Dixon
If that's all you had to say then fine. I'll keep that in mind, we will do our things within this Hotel. Is that okay with you?
Serin Dixon
I'm getting sleepy, let's end this here.
Link Townsend
Wait for me, Serin~
Link Townsend
:whisper: Stop wasting your time.
Manager Cai
:startled: YOU--!
Manager Cai
:grab his hand:
Link Townsend
You have something to say to me, Manager?
Link Townsend
Please don't scold me, I only listened to that young lady, right Serin Dixon?
Serin Dixon
... Manager Cai, let him go.
Manager Cai
:hesitate: (Did I sense wrong...?) :frown:
Manager Cai
:yank: Tch! (Am I being too sensitive?)
Link Townsend
Ow! That hurt, Manager. You shouldn't held a man's hand so recklessly, it hurt my pride :droop:
Manager Cai
You're annoying :leave: (This stupid can't be...)
Link Townsend
Serin! She called me annoying.
Serin Dixon
I can't argue.
Link Townsend
You're being mean.
Serin Dixon
Sorry, I disturbed your night today, you must be tired.
Link Townsend
It's fine, you worked more.
Serin Dixon
We didn't able to found a thing, just a stupid incident which no one will believe.
Serin Dixon
It's upsetting.
Link Townsend
:pat: You did well.
Link Townsend
You're new at it. Just do what you can for now.
Serin Dixon
Have some rest and again Sorry.
Serin Dixon
:close the door:
Link Townsend
:blush: You excites me!~~♡♡
Serin Dixon
:knock: :knock:
Serin Dixon
:frown: Sighhh...
Serin Dixon
:KNOCK: :KNOCK:
Link Townsend
:open the door:
Serin Dixon
... Were you eating?
Link Townsend
You can tell?
Serin Dixon
Under your lips.
Link Townsend
:wipe: I was having the last bite of my snack.
Serin Dixon
(Do Ch**tos come with gravy...?)
Link Townsend
What's you at?
Link Townsend
Looks pissed off. You still mad?
Link Townsend
But, you're frowning.
Serin Dixon
Because of you. Nevermind.
Serin Dixon
Get your things ready.
Link Townsend
Where we going today?
Manager Cai
I see, you are here.
Serin Dixon
I "see", you are in charge of showing the basement.
Manager Cai
Ms. Dixon having grudge against me.
Manager Cai
I don't blame you, I understand where you coming from.
Manager Cai
Anybody would react the same as you.
Serin Dixon
I think Halbmond Hotel's Manager is misunderstanding something.
Serin Dixon
Let my personal feelings influence my professional life.
Serin Dixon
It would be appreciated if we talk the personal stuffs out later.
Manager Cai
I'll appreciate that.
Manager Cai
Please, be careful while going downstairs.
Manager Cai
This place is a bit dark, so accidents may occur.
Manager Cai
As you can see, in the past, it was used for illegal businesses but now we use it for storing resources, stocks and preservatives.
Manager Cai
There are five rooms present in here.
Manager Cai
First room is Kitchen's storehouse. We used it for keeping meats and other seafoods.
Serin Dixon
(The basement is smaller than expected.)
Serin Dixon
:whisper: Record it accordingly while I go look around.
Serin Dixon
(I doubt, a hotel of approximately 200,000 square feet would have basement of five average size rooms only.)
Serin Dixon
What's in that room?
Serin Dixon
The fifth one, it's locked.
Serin Dixon
Can we look inside?
Manager Cai
Yes, of course.
Manager Cai
Please wait here a bit, I have to go upstairs and bring the key.
Serin Dixon
You don't have the keys with you?
Manager Cai
We usually don't use Room 5, it just a normal storeroom filled with old stuffs.
Manager Cai
Please wait here, it won't take me long.
Serin Dixon
... She left, Link.
Link Townsend
I can see that.
Serin Dixon
Wasn't you shooting the ceiling of that room?
Link Townsend
It's broken, you know.
Link Townsend
Should I capture the upper quarter of the ceiling?
Serin Dixon
Do as you said.
Link Townsend
You keep touching the wall. Why are so interested in walls? :chuckle:
Serin Dixon
(I knew it. The wall is hollow.)
Serin Dixon
(If we... break it...) We'll have to pay for destroying the Hotel's properties.
Serin Dixon
There is a bu—! Woooowww!!
Serin Dixon
That was sudden.
Serin Dixon
:gets up: Who thought there would be a secret passage? I thought.
Serin Dixon
It's dark. Where is my phone?
Serin Dixon
There it is :flash:
Serin Dixon
Now, we can say, this is the "basement" where world's 5th nastiest illegal hot spot, placed.
Serin Dixon
I don't have a camera. Should I call for Link?
Serin Dixon
He must be busy taking shots at the ceiling cabinet.
Serin Dixon
No problem, my phone can do the work here.
Serin Dixon
Gross blood stains.
Serin Dixon
Rusty Iron cages.
Serin Dixon
The weapons are still here....
Serin Dixon
The weapons are still here...?
Serin Dixon
The police didn't confiscated these things?
Serin Dixon
Is that a room?
Serin Dixon
Cough! Cough! Umph! :cover: what is that smell?
Serin Dixon
(Looks like an office to me.)
Serin Dixon
... What is that? I need to go closer to have a better view.
Serin Dixon
Skulls... Lots of skulls.
Serin Dixon
Does the head was actually fond of "heads"? :chuckle:
Serin Dixon
Did "I" just joke in this situation??
Serin Dixon
Anyway, is it Skulls showcase?
Serin Dixon
What is written below these skulls...?
Serin Dixon
Nathan Douglas, 24 August 19...? 1932.
Serin Dixon
Next is... Marianne Swift, 8 October 1932.
Serin Dixon
Miranda Kirk, 19 January 1935.
Serin Dixon
These are pretty old skulls.
Serin Dixon
What dates hold the below section? Huh?
Serin Dixon
Thomas Velvet, 18 June... 2021...?
Serin Dixon
Thomas Velvet who wrote "Human market of Ghost Valley"? That writer?
Serin Dixon
Didn't he...? He died at—! What...
Serin Dixon
(Link Townsend, 14 August 20...) 22...!
Serin Dixon
What... in the world... :terrified:
Link Townsend
So, you were here.
Serin Dixon
:flinch: Li, Lin—!!
Link Townsend

Link Townsend
