Cool air along with a figure appeared before the group's eyes. George, Karl and Alex sent each other glances, but they didn't say a word.

Sapnap stood up with haste, walking over to the boy decked in an intense green color.

"I've been looking for you all day Cla- Dream! Where the hell have you been?" He half whispers, half shouts, but the three sitting at the table behind him hear him loud and clear.

What most people didn't know was that Karl and Alex had a reputation. There wasn't a thing the two couldn't solve when they put their heads together. Once, George brought them a book of riddles and puzzles, to test how well they really did work together. With little assistance from Geroge, they were able to solve nearly all the puzzles in the book. People may not see it at first glance, but they were incredibly smart and well educated.

Whereas George did not have nearly as much street smarts as them, he did have a vast knowledge due to his love of reading. George takes note of the new face in the room–well, the new person. His face was covered by a white mask with a... a smile on it? It looked like one of those masks you'd see outside of the cinema.

He was tall, maybe taller than any of them there, and he wore a dark green robe, covering most of his torso. There wasn't much to take from his appearance since it was so hidden. It seems his name was Dream–an odd choice, but then again, Quackity and Sapnap were strange names too.

The man must of have noticed Geroge's starring, because he looked over then whispered something to Sapnap, to which Sapnap nodded.

George averted his gaze after that, switching to look at Alex. He and Karl were silently agreeing on some things, and George quickly caught on. Be suspicious, we don't know who they are, and what they might do.

The three continue to watch as the two exchange interactions.

"We need to lay low for a bit, I think someone noticed me," the man in clad green told Sapnap.

George assumed that he wasn't meant to hear that, but he did, and he could tell Alex and Karl did as well. For what seemed to be such sketchy people, they really were bad at being quiet.

"Fine. Let's lay here for a bit then, these guys seem cool, and they're from around here. Maybe they'll know something," Sapnap turned back to the three who all happened to be starring. He almost jumped, he probably figured they weren't listening to them.

The guy in green spoke up, "Heya boys, got room for a fifth?"

Sapnap and Dream sat down with Karl, George, and Alex.

Alex, skeptical of these two, decided that they deserved some answers, "so, you boys care to explain what that whole exchange was–or are we just gonna pretend a weirdo in a mask didn't burst through Karl's poor, old door just now saying that he needed to, and I quote, 'lay low'."

Karl, who was taking a sip of tea, almost spit out his tea due to giggling. He loved how Quackity was always so straight forward, but that time it caught him off-guard. George watched as Dream sank in his seat. Alex had that effect on people...part of the lawyer persona when he caught people red-handed.

George decided to pitch in with the skepticism and sarcasm, "Yeah, I'd love to hear the story on the mask."

Sapnap looked at Dream, and Dream at Sapnap. Dream nodded at him. The two seemed to have a lot of physical gestures.

"Well, I'll tell you guys, but I've gotta know I can trust you first," Sapnap smiled a devious grin.

A loud slap was heard against the table, and before their eyes Dream had laid a deck of cards, "You boys ever heard of the bluffing game?"

A dark gleam found itself in Alex's eye, and he let out a malicious chuckle, "Where I'm from, we call it bullshit."
