“No.”
“I didn’t design any of the places before this. I repurposed this room for my own purposes.”
“So it was sprung up on you out of nowhere, like an unplanned…thing?”
“That’s pretty interesting. Very interesting.”
“…”
“I assure you, dead men coming to life are the least of your mythical concerns here.”
He’s not lying about that, at least.
Now then.
“Well then.” Konstantinos raises his arms to stretch, yawning. “I don’t know what your business is, but I can’t say I’m the least bit surprised that dead men walking is of infinitesimal importance.”
He waggles his arm. “Now then.”
The man relaxes.
“It’s time.”
Evelyn blinks twice, but that is her only visible response to the man’s tirade. “‘Give me your money’?” She repeats. She rolls the words around for a moment, testing them in her mouth. “You seem to be aware of our finances, yet were entirely capable of retrieving… ‘my money’,” she spits out mockingly, “while I was unconscious. And yet, you did not. Thus, you can not. Am I correct?”

(Activity will be spotty)
“Explain why, or force me to sit in the chair yourself,” Evelyn counters. “You’ve already made it abundantly clear that you are, at least, not in entirety for our benefit.”
“Do you want dibs or…?” He rotates his pointing hands.
“Ever had a bidding war before? Right. You each got around… 100 gold in that piggy-bank of yours. I’m gonna show you a certain amount of items. Each is a passive buff, or an item you might want. Don’t expect anything too crazy. None of these items can be freely given to other players…?"
Why is that written in highlighter?
