Are you scared yet?

The Maestro

I'll ask you . Do you wanna play a game. Anybody here to play games? Hello?! Game time!
Are we going somewhere? Hello? It's too late, you're my guests. And by the way, didn't I tell you I wasn't alone? Meet the family.
Did I scare you?
That's too bad, maybe I have to try harder next time.
