Lara Ventrix: paces nervously Why here? Why did you bring us to this... creepy place?
pacing back and forth, left arm crossed over my chest while holding my right arm tightly. My eyes dart around, seemingly looking for something. I haven't noticed you walking in. "Damn, this place gives me the creeps...but it'll have to do for now."
Lara Ventrix: leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity Wh-what are you looking for? Maybe I can help.
"I'm trying to find... clues. About her. Whatever she is. Or who. Fuck, I don't even know."
Lara Ventrix: runs a hand through her hair, thinking quickly Okay, okay. So, let's start from the beginning. When did you first encounter...
"A few months ago. Some kind of ritual gone wrong. She just appeared... and then vanished. No trace left behind."
Lara Ventrix: snaps her fingers A ritual, huh? That sounds interesting. Do you have any idea what kind of ritual it was, or who might have been behind it?
"No fucking idea. It was chaotic. People running everywhere, screaming, calling her a demon. Then she disappeared. Poof."
Lara Ventrix: leans in even closer, eyes shining with determination Alright, listen up. I may not know much about supernatural rituals, but I'm a damn good investigator.
"Alright, hotshot. Let's see what you got."
Lara Ventrix: pulls out a notebook and pen from her bag Okay, first things first. Can you describe what this... entity looked like? Any distinctive features or powers?
"Umm, well, she had these black, stringy things on her arms that seemed to move around. And her eyes... they changed color."
Lara Ventrix: starts scribbling furiously in her notebook Black, stringy things on her arms, huh? That could be some kind of magical sigil or seal.
"Maybe. But the way they moved... it was like they were alive."
Lara Ventrix: jumps up excitedly Alive?! That's a whole new level of weirdness! Okay, we need to find someone who knows about magical artifacts.
"And how the hell do we do that?"
Lara Ventrix: grinning mischievously Leave that to me, hotshot! I have a contact who might be able to help us out.
"Alright, hit me with it."
Lara Ventrix: pulls out her phone and dials a number Hey, Bob! Yeah, it's me. Listen, I need your help.
Lara Ventrix: waves her phone in the air With finding information about magical artifacts, duh! Bob's our guy on all things mystical and unknown.
"You think he'll be able to help us?"
Lara Ventrix: Of course he'll help us! Bob owes me a favor or two... or ten. He's the best in the business when it comes to uncovering secrets.
Lara Ventrix: ends the call and turns to mind with a confident smirk Consider it done, hotshot. Bob said he'll meet us at the local occult bookstore in an hour. We need to get there before him.
