[ The owner of the house is a powerful man, with a wife and a child. He keeps a woman on the side, though, and has a bastard son from their dalliance that is troublesome.
The staff seems to believe the master wants to kill the boy, since he hired him such a defective BODYGUARD.
The staff care little for the boy, but even less for the BODYGUARD. There's speculation that he's a MONSTER, or one of those damned TAGGED. One of them says she saw him KILL a man outside not even a few days ago. ]
[ Beware of glass, as there's a shattered bottle nearby.
If they heads into the room proper, you'll find a young boy with a black eye sitting at a desk, papers strewn around him. They have the handwriting of someone who is very young, and very inexperienced in writing.
[ugh, don't suddenly act like a normal human being after all this attempted murder and non-interactive NPCs. Chimera does his best to look like a small, harmless child. It's probably kind of hard when he's followed by a pair of bloody tagged people, though.]
Uh, nobody...? We just kind of wandered in... hey, are you okay?

Further down is another door, a deep red liquid leaking out from underneath.
It smells like wine. ]

He's just going to go check out the door where someone's been drinking now.]

He doesn't look up immediately when they enter. ]
Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
Um...?
[hopefully THIS npc will pay attention to them. and not be inclined to punch people.]
Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
Also taking one look at those tags and looking terrified. ]
Wh-What are you doing here? Did my father...? Who sent you?

Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
And yeah, he is not fooled. What a bunch of psychos. ]
I'm fine, I just... I fell.
[ Staring at them hard. ]
Are you here for Argus?
Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
claps his hands together, like he just remembered something important.]
Oh, right, we're supposed to be helping Mister Argus. Somehow.

Your teammate? So you can... H-He left these for you!
[ Indicating the pages. Maybe you should take a look. ]
Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
...he'll hold them up so the others don't need to get their bloody hands all over them.]
Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
The first says 'TWILIGHTS MUST SERVE HUMANS BECAUSE ___.'
The second says 'IT'S POINTLESS TO DEFEND MYSELF BECAUSE ___.'
The third says 'I AM GOOD FOR ___.'
The blanks are indecipherable, like someone has crossed them out. ]
You need to fix them. He's too stubborn to do it himself.
Re: Chimera, Lyra, Crown
It will help him, right?
