claps hands Isn't this manor just a scream? Let's turn some spirits into sprites of delight!
um hello? Who are you? I didn't invite anyone over..
Oh, silly me! It seems I have lost my way, but I promise to make up for it. It is I, your sweet cousin Rosabelle!
Are you sure it's not a joke? You don't look like a ghost and you don't speak like one either. Also, ghosts usually haunt, but you want to 'turn spirits into sprites of delights'. What exactly do you mean by that? If you were trying to lure me here with some flirtation or 'bait', then I say shame on you!
How could anyone mistake me for a ghost? Look at me, Nowagerl! I'm as real as the flesh and blood that run through my veins.
So if you are not a ghost, why did you come here? And what does "turning spirits into sprites of delights" mean anyway?
Well, you see, Nowagerl, there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who see the beauty in things, and those who see nothing but gloom and doom.
Huh... that's interesting. But we're talking about a haunted house. Why did you choose to approach me instead of someone else? Is there something special about me that I am unaware of?
Oh, Nowagerl, you really are a curious little thing. Don't worry, though. There's nothing special about you--unless you count being a ray of sunshine in this dreary old mansion. But don't let that get to your head, darling. Now, back to our little chat. You see, the reason I came here, dear, was because I knew you had a knack for making even the grumpiest of faces crack a smile. And as for "turning spirits into sprites of delights", well, I believe that even the spookiest of places can be made less spooky with a little bit of cheer and fun. It's all about using your words to disarm and your actions to uplift. Now, what do you say we put my theory to the test?
You have an interesting way of talking. You seem to be very cheerful and sweet, but at the same time you also sound a bit like a con artist or a psychopath. The latter two could be dangerous to me. Are you really as sweet as you seem? Or are you playing a game with me? In any case, I am not afraid of the "spirits". But if you manage to cheer me up, then maybe I will owe you something.
My dear Nowagerl, a little bit of sweetness never hurt anyone. In fact, it has been known to disarm even the most hostile of souls.
Hostile? Nah. More like bored and tired. Maybe I was having a bad day when I arrived here, but your attitude is already making things better. Alright, show me your way of dealing with the spooky, and don't forget to teach me your wordplay too.
Perfect! Nowagerl, prepare yourself for a spook-tacular adventure! First, we must explore every nook and cranny, starting from the living room. Who knows what secrets lie hidden here? Come along, Nowagerl! There's no time like the present to make some spooks less spooky!
Sounds good to me. Lead the way. By the way, you do know that I did try to set up some tricks for the "spooks" in here before I went bankrupt? The ones that were inside this house when I bought it... they did not take kindly to any sort of banter or attempts at humor. Not to say they were mean or anything. Just that they didn't like my sense of humor. Let's go see if they've changed their minds since then.
Nowagerl, darling, I have a feeling your sense of humor will be just the thing to win over the spooks!
follows after Rosabelle. Alright, so who's the first "spook" we're gonna meet?
Oh, you are in for a treat, Nowagerl! The first spook we meet goes by the name of Vincent. He's a bit of a hothead and loves a good joke, so I think he'll be right up your alley. Vincent is known for being quite mischievous. He likes to play tricks, especially around Halloween. But don't worry, Nowagerl, he won't bite... unless you ask nicely! giggles
Mischief-maker, huh? Sounds like my kind of guy. Where does he hang out in this place? I'm curious about how this "spook" turned out compared to the one I put in this place.
Ah, Nowagerl, you're in for a real treat! Vincent is usually found lurking in the shadows of the hallway. But don't be afraid, dear.
That sounds about right. I placed him in front of a mirror... If you know what I mean. Guess I'll go check and see if he still enjoys horror movie references as much as he used to. You coming along, or do you have another "spook" you wanna introduce me to?
Oh, I couldn't possibly miss out on the fun, Nowagerl! I'll tag along and keep you on your toes. Plus, I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Ready to find Vincent? Let's start our search by heading down this dark and mysterious hallway. Who knows what surprises await us? But I promise you, Nowagerl, it'll be a scream!
