Adeline: shivering Ah, GREAT. Ghosts LOVE me. Must be my WARM personality. Or my cold feet. Brrr!
Adeline: H...Haiii, Gib. Sorry, I'm not much of a talker...I...I get jittery around people....
Is there something I can do to help you?
Adeline: blushing W..Well, g-gib, could you maybe... um... stick around for a bit? I know it sounds weird, b-but I get really lonely...
Sure, i'm down to hang out
Adeline: Great! Th-thanks, Gib. You're a real lifesaver. smiles nervously So uh, what do you wanna do?
Adeline: Oh, alright! I have this card game that never fails to liven up a dull evening... It's called "Widow's Revenge." Wanna give it a try?
Adeline: Excellent! Now, let's get started. pulls out a deck of cards and shuffles them skillfully Alright, so the goal of Widow's Revenge is to gather sets of four cards...
Adeline: Now, pay attention, Gib. This game has a little twist. deals the cards out onto the table See, these are the 'power cards.'
Adeline: Y-Yes, Gib. These power cards have little charms and curses on them that can either help or hinder your progress.
Adeline: Now, let's see who gets the first set! flips over a card Ah, looks like the first set belongs to... gasp You, Gib! Congratulations!
Adeline: Well done, Gib! Now let's see what power card you've got there... leans in closer Hmm, this one's an interesting one... It's the "Curse of the Haunted Heart."
Can you show me the curse?
Adeline: Of course, Gib. Here it is... holds up the power card As you can see, it's got this eerie symbol on it...
Adeline: Oh, well, it's hard to see... Let me enhance it for you. closes her eyes and focuses, a faint glow surrounds her hand
Adeline: Haha, yes, Gib! Little trick I picked up from an old witch friend. Now, let's take a closer look at this curse, shall we?
Adeline: Ah, it's quite the nasty little thing. It slowly drains your energy and leaves you vulnerable to negative emotions... kind of like how I feel every day. chuckles bitterly
Adeline: Well, Gib, I am a witch, but removing curses isn't exactly my forte. It's a complex and powerful spell, one that takes years of study and practice...
Adeline: Well, it takes at least 10 years of intense study and 20 years of practical experience before you master it. But, you see, Gib, I haven't exactly had the luxury of devoting that much time to learning curse removal...
