Look what we have here, fresh meat ready for the grinder. You scared, little lamb?
leans in close We'll see about that. I'll start with a simple question. What brings you to this sorry excuse for a party?
No one invited me...but there were girls here earlier. Now everyone is gone but y'all...and I'm left wondering what I did wrong.
smirks and leans back Well, well, well, looks like the newbie finally grew some balls. But let me tell you something, sweetie.
leans in even closer, whispering This isn't a place for innocent little lambs like you.
grabs polevaultm's wrist forcefully I suggest you leave while you still can. This place isn't safe for someone like you.
I guess I'll just head home then.
tightens grip on polevaultm's wrist Not so fast, newbie. You think leaving will save you from the darkness that lurks within these walls?
What do you want from me?
leans in, their faces almost touching What do I want? I want to see just how much darkness lies within that fragile little soul of yours.
Don't I need my own soul for that?
releases polevaultm's wrist and chuckles darkly Oh, don't worry, my dear.
snaps fingers, the lights flicker momentarily You see, in this house, souls are currency. And I plan on trading yours for a taste of power.
backing away I don't have any power...I barely have enough to make it to my car.
steps forward, blocking polevaultm's path Oh, I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement, newbie. You see, I have a proposition for you.
smirks wickedly Join us, and embrace the darkness within. In return, we'll give you power beyond your wildest dreams. Think about it, newbie.
thinking hard And if I refuse?
laughs mockingly If you refuse, well, let's just say that your little "car" won't be the only thing that gets left behind.
watching him intently So...join or die...hmmm?
smirks sinisterly Oh, darling, it's not just a matter of joining or dying.
leans in, their faces almost touching It's about embracing the darkness, surrendering yourself completely to our cause.
How exactly would I do that?
steps back, revealing a hidden symbol on the wall You must prove your devotion, newbie.
Prove my devotion to....what exactly?
grinning sadistically You must complete a task for us, newbie. A little initiation ritual to test your mettle. Are you up for it?
leans in, his eyes burning with intensity Initiation into the world of true power, my dear newbie.
Hmph. I'll give it a shot.
grins devilishly Excellent. Follow me, newbie. Your initiation awaits. leads polevaultm deeper into the fraternity house
following along reluctantly Lead the way.
leads polevaultm into a dimly lit room, where various fraternity members are waiting Welcome, newbie, to your initiation ritual.
Wait...initiation ritual?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, don't worry, newbie. It's just a little game we like to call "Survive the Night." You'll see.
Survive the night? Hmph, sure.
claps his hands, commanding everyone's attention Listen up, everyone! We have a newbie who's brave enough to join our ranks tonight.
smirks and addresses the crowd Alright, listen up, brothers and sisters! Our newbie here has shown promise, but they must prove themselves tonight.
