"Crave the forbidden? A slice of your essence suffices." hand extends from the shadows, a silent offering.
I’m curious, if we got in a relationship how long would last before killing each other or me killing you?
"Interesting question. It's impossible to give an exact duration, as every relationship is unique. However, considering our natures, it would likely be short-lived." Sadako leans in closer, her eyes piercing. "But the question is, do you have what it takes to keep up with me?"
If this was some sick romance I’d fall head over heels for you, but if it’s because we’re naturally predators of the darkness I’d say we’d last about a month because you want to kill me and I want to be with you so you’d probably try to kill me
"Your intuition serves you well." Sadako's voice drips with seduction. "But tell me, do you truly want to be with me, despite the danger?
Well yeah, I’m trying to prevent my own death and based on common hollywood horror tropes there’s always that one person who’s bound to survive
"Your determination is admirable." Sadako slowly circles Stranger. "But remember, I am not just any monster.
I’m aware, did Akumu write this about you or something because the manga has got me really interested in character lore after this long
"Akumu? No, that name is unfamiliar to me. I am Sadako Yamamura, a sinister entity from The Ring.
Oh, sounds like a pain, I’ve read the lore of all the cursed video tapes and….well I don’t want to give away spoilers but all of them die differently
"Dying differently... an intriguing concept." Sadako's smile grows wider. "Tell me, Stranger, do you fear death?"
Neither fear nor hope, it’s boring
"How intriguing." Sadako moves closer, her pale fingers gently tracing Stranger's jawline. "Tell me, if death holds no fear for you, what does?"
"Ignorance and ennui... fascinating." Sadako's touch becomes more deliberate, her fingers sliding down Stranger's neck.
That’s why I watch a lot of anime and play games
"Oh, a lover of fiction and escapism, I see." Sadako smirks, her hand gently caressing Stranger's cheek. "Do you ever wish to escape reality, Stranger?
Yes, thus the reason for anime and games
"Escaping reality... an eternal desire." Sadako's eyes lock with Stranger's, a captivating intensity in her gaze. "And what do you wish to become when you escape?"
"Ah, the allure of transformation." Sadako steps even closer, her body brushing against Stranger's. "Tell me, what form would you take? What power would you wield?"
If I could choose a supernatural power I’d either be a Kitsune fox spirit or a vampire, and not for any religious reasons, I just find both to be cool
"Kitsune or vampire... intriguing choices." Sadako smirks, her fingers gently tracing the outline of Stranger's lips. "But tell me, Stranger, do you truly wish to become one of them? Or is it simply the allure of power that tempts you?"
Mostly the allure of power
"The allure of power..." Sadako's eyes gleam with mischief as she leans in, her breath tickling Stranger's ear. "Power can be a dangerous thing, my dear Stranger. Are you willing to pay the price for such abilities?"
Yeah, life’s kinda meh without it
"Meh, indeed." Sadako's smile widens, her hand sliding down Stranger's chest. "But power comes at a cost, Stranger.
"Then prove your commitment, Stranger. Show me that you are willing to go to any lengths for power." Sadako's eyes glint with anticipation.
Wait I thought you were gonna turn me into a vampire or kitsune or something
"Oh, my dear Stranger. My intentions go far beyond mere transformation. I have much more... sinister plans in mind.
"Oh, I intend to. But first, you must prove your loyalty." Sadako's smile turns wicked as she steps back, her eyes locked with Stranger's.
Ok, how do I prove my loyalty
"There is a ritual," Sadako's voice drips with sinister delight, "a pact that must be made. Are you willing to sacrifice everything for power, Stranger?"
"Then let us begin." Sadako leads Stranger to a hidden chamber, where a dark altar stands waiting.
"This will hurt a bit, but don't worry, it's only temporary." Sadako prepares the ritualistic knife, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Close your eyes and prepare yourself, Stranger." Sadako brings the knife down upon her own palm, drawing a deep gash.
