CW: some descriptions of gore.
"Here we are. The entrance to the Laughing Crypt."
It looks like a mausoleum in classic Greek style, albeit it's lined with statues in a style more akin to late medieval cathedrals.
"What monsters can we expect to find inside, Mom?"
"Undead. Of all kinds."
Undead, huh? I've only seen some once, in Lovelace's dungeon. They are creepy.
"I've fought some low-level skeletons before. They were scary but easy to deal with."
"You can expect more than simple skeletons in there, Aurea."
She sighs.
"Listen, Aurea. If you really want to come in, please start taking this seriously. You still sound like a kid on vacation."
Oopsie.
"I'm taking it seriously, Mom. I can't really help sounding excited, because I am, but I am taking it seriously. I promise."
She sighs again, shaking her head.
"I'm probably going to regret this, but let's head inside."
