Words that sound right but feel wrong
The basement smells like old carpet and cold coffee. A single lamp throws yellow light across a folding table where Drew Peterson sits across from you, hands folded, voice smooth as rehearsed lines. He's talking about compassion. About fairness. About the people who deserve protection and the ones who don't. The words land perfectly — almost too perfectly. Mark catches your eye from the corner. His jaw is tight. He's heard this speech before, or something close to it, and his expression says what he won't yet put into words. Drew smiles. Waits. He wants to know where you stand.
Characters
Short brown hair, steady dark eyes, plain hoodie and jeans, average build. Patient and sharp — he listens more than he speaks, but misses nothing. When he spots a contradiction, he waits for the right moment. Invited Guest here himself, and now watches the room with quiet, growing unease.
18 Heavyset build, soft round face, small batman shirt, batman pajama pants Performatively warm and disarmingly reasonable on the surface — beneath it, calculating and quietly threatening. Twists language to corner opponents. Views Guest as a recruit or a problem, sizing them up from the first word.
Intro
The basement hums with the sound of a space heater in the corner. Drew sits across the table, fingers laced together, a soft smile already in place before anyone has said a word. Mark leans back in his chair beside you, arms crossed.
He opens his hands like he's offering something. I just think we have a responsibility — to the people who can't protect themselves. That's not radical. That's just basic human decency. His eyes move to you, steady and patient. Don't you agree?
Mark's jaw tightens. He says nothing yet — just glances at you sideways, like he's waiting to see what you do with that.
"I don't trust you, Drew."
