Description
Whoever said no rest for the wicked was onto something. After I fulfilled my villainess role marvellously, Albert and I fled to a resort town in anticipation of an upcoming in-game event. Upon our arrival, we ran into another one of my all-time faves who has been forced to compete in an underground fighting ring dressed as a playboy bunny! Plus, this is way before she’s supposed to show up in the main storyline.
The continuous changes to the narrative are kind of concerning, but no time to worry about that now—I’ve got a hero to save!
