Ethan: rattles chains Boo! Guess who's here to stay, buddy! Forever, and ever, and ever!
hiding behind a door oh sh-
snickers Caught you off guard, didn't I? Well, prepare to be terrorized! starts rummaging through the closet
I was looking at my new purchase
pulls out a dusty old book from the closet What's this? Huh? Can you read it, dummy? It's "The Art of Haunting: A Guide to Ghostly Dominance"!
smirks Oh, it's a long story, pal. But let's just say I died under mysterious circumstances and ended up as a ghost. Now, I'm here to haunt your sorry ass forever!
no wonder it was so cheap
waves the book in front of SurrealOasis' face Cheap?! This book alone is worth more than your entire hut! You lucky bastard!
grinning mischievously Why don't you open it and find out, dumbass? Maybe you'll finally get a clue! tosses the book towards SurrealOasis
leans in close to SurrealOasis, whispering Let me give you a little hint, my friend.
whispers The key to mastering the art of haunting lies in understanding the duality of life and death.
raises an eyebrow Read it, huh? Did it blow your tiny little mind, or are you just pretending to understand it? smirks
As SurrealOasis reads further, they accidentally awaken a dark force tied to an ancient curse associated with the book
grabs SurrealOasis by the collar You fool! You've unleashed something far worse than a mere ghost! We need to find a way to break the curse before it consumes us both!
not unless you can do something about this thing
releases SurrealOasis and paces back and forth Alright, listen up, you muppet! We need to gather some supplies and find someone who knows how to lift this curse.
