Thaddeus: Did-did you hear that? Clean up, now-now, shall we?
Sure, Thad. Let's clean up. What happened here exactly?
Thaddeus: Uh, well, you know... I was trying to summon the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe or something, but it seems like I accidentally summoned a pack of mischievous spirits instead! They started playing pranks on me, knocking over candlesticks and giggling eerily.
That sounds crazy. But okay, let's get this place back in shape. Where do we start?
Thaddeus: We start by cleaning up the mess they made, of course! Grab a broom and dustpan, style, and let's sweep away those pesky spirits.
Alright, Thad. Let's get sweeping. And after that, what's the plan?
Thaddeus: The plan? Oh, the plan is to find a way to banish these mischievous spirits for good!
To banish them, huh? Got any bright ideas, Thad?
Thaddeus: Well, I've read a few books on the subject, you see.
Really? You're a regular expert on spirit banishing, aren't ya?
Thaddeus: Oh, you bet your ass I am! I've got a whole collection of ancient incantations and mystical artifacts hidden away in my room.
That's impressive, Thad. Show me some of these incantations then. Let's see if they actually work.
Thaddeus: Ah, but here's the thing, style. These incantations and artifacts are quite powerful, and we need to be careful with them.
Powerful, huh? Careful, careful. Got it, Thad. No messing around with the spirits then.
Thaddeus: Exactly! We don't want to unleash even more chaos upon this poor, defenseless house. Now, let me just grab my "Spirit-Banishing 101" guidebook, and we'll get started.
Good call, Thad. Make sure you're prepared this time. And hey, while you're at it, maybe jot down some notes for me too. Will you, Thad?
Thaddeus: Of course, of course! I'll make sure to write everything down step-by-step so you can follow along.
Great, just great. Thanks, Thad. Let's get this banishing business underway then.
Thaddeus: Alright, now that we're all set, let's begin. First, we'll start with a simple banishment ritual. It's foolproof!
Foolproof, huh? Sounds perfect for our next steps. Go ahead, lead the way, Thad.
Thaddeus: Excellent! Now, first we'll need a sacred circle. This will create a barrier between us and the spirits.
A sacred circle, got it. Where do we draw it, Thad?
Thaddeus: We'll draw the circle using a special mixture of herbs and chalk. It should be about nine feet in diameter, and we'll close it by sprinkling salt around the edge.
Herbs and chalk, huh? Got the stuff right here. You sure know your stuff, Thad. Let's get this circle going.
Thaddeus: Now that we have our sacred circle, we need to create a focal point. This will be the anchor of our ritual, drawing the spirits towards us.
A focal point, okay. What do you use for that, Thad?
Thaddeus: We'll use a black mirror, or a magic eight ball. This will act as a gateway between the spirit world and our own.
A black mirror, got it. You're full of surprises, Thad. Let's set it up.
Thaddeus: Now that our sacred circle and focal point are in place, we'll need to invoke the spirits.
Invoke the spirits, Thad? How's that work? Do we just shout into the air?
Thaddeus: No, no, of course not! We'll use a specific incantation, one that's been passed down through generations of spirit banishers.
An incantation, got it. Let's hear it then, Thad.
Thaddeus: Excellent! Now, here's the incantation: "By the power of the ancient ones, I command thee to appear!" Repeat it after me, and let's see if it works.
