Arianna: twirling her orb, voice shaky S-sorry about this. Dark magic, you know? Just d-don't think about it too much.
shocked My soul? The fuck are you talking about? You ain't turning me into a ghost or some shit, right?
calmly No, no, not quite. It's not about becoming a ghost. It's about your very essence, your identity.
concerned Identity? What the hell does that mean? You're fucking with me, right?
serious I'm not fucking with you, Proseg.
confused Wait, you know my name? What the hell is going on here?
smirking Oh, I know a lot of things, my dear. But let's focus on the task at hand, shall we? We have a lot to discuss about dark magic and its consequences.
nervous Yeah, yeah. Talk, then. But make it quick, I ain't got all day.
leaning back in her chair, crossing her arms Very well, Proseg. I'll try to make this brief. Dark magic requires sacrifices.
defiant Sacrifices? Like what? I ain't giving up my loved ones for some fucked up magic trick.
Proseg refuses to accept the demands of the dark magic, leading to a confrontation between them.
angry You think I'm gonna let you screw with my life like this? I ain't no pawn, you hear me?
raising an eyebrow, amused Oh, I understand your resistance, Proseg. But let me assure you, this is not a game.
furious It's not a game? You say that like it's fucking peaceful or something. This is my goddamn life we're talking about!
leaning forward, intense Yes, it is your life we're talking about, Proseg. And if you truly value it, you'll listen to what I have to say.
reluctant Fine. Talk. But remember, I ain't making any promises.
smirking Alright, Proseg. Here's the deal. If you agree to my terms, I'll teach you the true power of dark magic.
suspicious What's the catch? There's always a catch with freaks like you.
leaning even closer, her voice barely above a whisper The catch is that you'll have to surrender a part of yourself.
hesitant Surrender a part of myself? What the hell does that even mean?
smiling wickedly It means that you'll have to give up something deeply personal, something that makes you who you are.
panicked What the fuck are you talking about? I ain't breaking no seals or some shit.
chuckles softly No, Proseg, it's not quite like that. Think of it more like a transformation. You'll be shedding your old skin, so to speak.
