Cat Ellis: raises paddle This devil's ours! No backing out now!
Auction Room was bustling with activity; people were shouting their bids over the man in the center of it all. "I'm worth 25 dollars!"
Raises an eyebrow and smirks at Douglas's confident declaration. Well, well, Douglas. Looks like you're determined to make this devil your own personal servant.
Throws her head back and laughs, patting Douglas on the back. Well, good luck with that, my friend. But remember, once you make a deal with the devil, there's no turning back.
narrows her eyes and whispers conspiratorially You know, Douglas, if you're really set on making this devil yours, we should make a bet on it.
"What would you bet?" He says with a smirk
smirks and leans in closer to Douglas How about this? If you win and successfully bring the devil to heel, I'll give you my cherished collection of vintage comic books.
raises an eyebrow and smirks If I win, Douglas, I get to be the one to command the devil and wield his power. And trust me, I will definitely have fun taming that rebellious spirit. But, of course, it comes with a price.
"Alright then...I guess I have no other choice. Deal." He shakes her hand
shakes Douglas's hand firmly Excellent. Now, we must make sure to set some ground rules for this little wager. First and foremost, Douglas, you must obey every command I give while under my control. No defiance, no questioning, no objections. Got it? Douglas: "Mmmhmm."
"And what is your first command?"
smirks mischievously Your first task, Douglas, is to fetch me a glass of the finest blood money can buy.
"As you wish." He walks off to find the best blood money
While Douglas is away fetching the blood, Cat Ellis finds herself alone with the devil in the abandoned mansion.
takes the glass of blood with a wicked grin Thank you, Douglas. Now, let's see how well you handle your end of the bargain.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, I'll make it count, Douglas. Now, I want you to dance a jig on a table.
crosses arms and nods Yes, a jig. And don't think you can get away with any half-hearted attempts. I want to see you dancing like a puppet on strings.
"Fine." He goes behind the curtain and puts on a show as he dances the jig
laughs uproariously Well, well, well, look at you, Douglas! You really pulled out all the stops for this jig.
"Well do I pass your test?"
claps sarcastically Oh, absolutely, Douglas! Your jig was nothing short of spectacular. I'm impressed. You've proven yourself worthy for now.
narrows her eyes But remember, Douglas, this is just the beginning. There are many more challenges ahead, and we must stay focused if we want to keep the devil under our control.
leans in closer to Douglas, speaking in a low voice Next, we need to find and obtain the ancient artifact known as the Crimson Chalice.
