I liked this and also feels very Lovecraftian even though we are not that far yet.

"I don't understand what you mean." You asked, with a thinly consumed mask of restraint, the situation was starting to completely push you over the edge. What exactly is even happening? You don't even know if you could trust him yet and he's already giving you an empty task?
"You don't need to think much about it, all will be explained in time."
He gave you a blank gaze, which as usual just pisses you over the edge. "Don't do that. Don't you fucking say that to me! You're the one that decided to save me! You're the one that fucking chained me to this goddamn bed without my consent! You're the one that told me to help you find this fucking Silver Key So stop with this enigmatic bullshit and talk!"
Your outburst caught him off guard, his eyes widened momentarily in surprise at your rage induced rant. Elizabeth was most startled by your outburst, in an attempt to flee from your gaze she slipped on her toes and fell flat on her face. You felt a little bit guilty at that but you quickly shook it off.
Titus sighed, frowning slightly as he stared back at you, "You're correct. You do in fact deserve to know what you're getting into, I humbly apologize for the inconvenience."
"That's...fine?" You were surprised by his immediate acceptance of the situation. The fact that he apologized only serves to befuddle you. Was he playing some kind of game with you?
"To help clear up any questions. I'd like you to ask me to clarify any confusion you have, so please, go ahead."

Some Time After
Interlude - The Fly Neat
Arkham, as much as it was disgusting, held a veil of beauty to it. The smell of rot that filled the air, the poverty stricken people that riddled the street, the rotten decaying corpses that hung upon a noose. All these things — the sickening ever pervading sickness that corrupted the minds of those that dared to enter the accursed city gave the shitty place a sort of morbid beauty.Interlude - The Fly Neat
He knew the place more than most people that lived in the damn hellhole did. Judging by the amount of death and madness that littered his past he couldn't call such a feat an accomplishment. Ever since he entered this hellhole he'd understood that the city was frankly abnormal.
He wasn't talking about the unimaginable horrors that roamed its corners at night — no, he was talking about the sheer amount of discord the city itself seemed to breed. Good and honest people turned to become serial killers, heck he'd seen families crumble and both parents and kids murdering each other, government officials were corrupted to inhuman degrees, everybody seemed to completely hate or fear one another, causing bloodshed after bloodshed without any reason for doing so.
The city is cursed and there's nothing that can change his mind about it.
"Henri, I'm leaving." The voice of his companion brought him out of his bitter thoughts. His ever so serious friends seemed to be conflicted about something, a rare sight to see but it sadly wouldn't be the first time it happened.
"So how did it go?" He greeted with a carefree smile, in an attempt to hopefully know more about the thing troubling his friend's mind. "You know, I never thought I'd see the day that the Titus Crow would apologize to anyone."
His friend Titus paused at his words, turning his head to glare at him before sighing. Noticing his rapidly deteriorating mood he grasped his friend's shoulder, showing him a soft smile.
"I'm tired of this." Titus stated as he shoved his arm away as he walked past him. "Henri I need you to watch over the kid, he's going to serve as an important piece in our operation."
"...So you want me to manipulate a deeply traumatized amnesiac kid that's clearly in need of some guidance?" The now named Henri frowned as he glared at his companion. As much as he would like to say that the act itself was low, he knew better to think so, after all he's done some truly heinous things that would be better left unsaid.
"Wouldn't be the first kid we've done it too." Titus simply replied with a hardened gaze, his face twisting into a blank expression as he walked away without another word.
"Tch." Henri simply stared at the slowly fading man, tightening his fist as his face failed to contain the feeling of rage that swelled up in his mind.
"I fucking hate this city." The city was a fly trap, and everybody else were simply flies caught in its maws.
....[To be Continued]....
Your name is Randolph Carter..and your life is slowly becoming much more complicated.
The DC stated below is only their to determine the limit of how much information Titus would be willing to give. So the max of 20, 30 and so is the absolute highest potential amount, anything lesser means lesser info, with much more vagueness. The ??? DC is more or less a surprise for you guys, this usually means that the topic is highly sensitive so it has a way higher DC for Titus to say much on it, though the information will be worth it somewhat.

IS VERY TRANQUIL!

[X] Do you have any knowledge concerning what happened to me? Any clues or just anything about who I was? (DC: ???)
[X] Why did you ask me specifically to help you? What's so special about me? (DC: ???)
I'm gonna choose this though let's see how honest he actually is gonna be based on the interlude... still any information on that front is enough for me
Changed my mind I'll rather know about the key right now.
also not accurate anymore lol

Yes and no, am I taking certain aspects from the original? Sure but is it a direct copy? No, as to note, this is an original setting more or less influenced by all parts of Lovecraftian lores, the Bloodborne game and the original silver key story with an unapologetic Nasuverse inspiration to it.
