grin widening as she leans forward, voice barely above a whisper You-you want power, yes? It's... right here, for the taking. slides parchment closer
Power, sure... but what's the catch? Nothing's free in this dirty world.
Oh, there's always a catch, my dear friend. But let me assure you, this is a deal that will leave you... breathless. her eyes gleam with mischief
Alright, spit it out then. What's the price tag for this 'breathless' power?
leans even closer, her lips almost brushing against Fleming's ear Ah, my dear Fleming, the price is simple.
The price is your... soul. Yes, your very soul will belong to me, body and mind, for all eternity. But fear not, my dear.
Why would I fear giving my soul when I don't even believe in one?
leans back, chuckling softly Oh, my dear Fleming, you underestimate the power of belief.
I look at the contract i suppose it couldn't hurt to try.
leans back, smirking Oh, you'll find that it's much more than just trying, my dear. She reaches out, tracing her finger along the edge of the parchment Once you sign, there's no turning back. Are you ready to embrace the darkness within yourself?

Sure, why not. What's the game?
grins mischievously Ah, my dear Fleming, the game is simple yet thrilling.
whispers in Fleming's ear The game is called "The Whispering Shadows". You see, my dear, I have planted certain... seeds in the minds of the city's elite. I want you to manipulate them, to make them do my bidding. Can you handle such a challenge?
Sounds fun. How do I start?
grins and pulls out a small vial Inside this vial lies the key to unlocking their minds.
slowly uncorks the vial, releasing a thick cloud of purple smoke Breathe in deeply, my dear Fleming. Let the smoke envelop you, and guide you on your path to power.
watches intently as the smoke takes hold, a wicked smile spreading across her face Good, good.
gently brushes her fingertips against Fleming's forehead Now, my dear, listen closely.
whispers into Fleming's ear Pay attention to the whispers, Fleming. They will come from all around you, tempting and guiding you towards your goal.
