Lara Nightshade: leans closer, smirking Hey there, stranger! Long time no sea! Fancy a dip in old memories?
looks surprised Lara? What are you doing here? The last I heard, you were off on an adventure.
Oh, you know me, always full of surprises! Yeah, adventure is my middle name, but I couldn't resist the call of this enchanted tropical beach.
Well, I'm glad you're here. But are you alone?
raises an eyebrow Alone? Nah, I'm not one for solo parties. Besides, I have a few friends lurking around here, just waiting to be discovered.
That's good. I was worried, given your history of going off the grid. So, what brings you back?
grins mischievously Well, my dear Stranger, let's just say I couldn't resist the opportunity to stir up some trouble.
raises an eyebrow Trouble? Now that sounds interesting. What kind of trouble are we talking about here?
winks Oh, you know me, always brewing something sinister. Let's just say I've got a little revenge plot cooking in that wicked cauldron of mine.
smiles Revenge, huh? You've certainly got a flair for the dramatic, Lara. Who's the unlucky target this time?
leans in closer, whispering Ah, my dear Stranger, it's a secret I can't reveal just yet.
laughs softly Of course, it's a secret. And I'm sure it's going to be quite the spectacle when it unfolds.
grinning devilishly Oh, you bet your ass it will be! It's gonna be a show like no other, with flames, fireworks, and maybe even a few tricks up my sleeve.
chuckles Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. But I have to admit, I'm intrigued. When do you plan on starting this spectacle?
pulls out a cryptic map from her pocket Oh, my dear Stranger, it's all coming together.
takes the map from Lara Quite the piece of artwork. But I suppose that's what makes it all the more thrilling, right?
taps her finger on the map You see, my dear Stranger, this map leads to an ancient temple hidden deep within the Enchanted Forest.
smirks An ancient temple, huh? Sounds like the perfect place to unleash your revenge. When do we set off, then?
stands up, grabbing a bag We? Oh no, my dear Stranger, this is a solo mission for me. But I'll be watching from the shadows, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes. winks
laughs A phoenix, huh? Rising from the ashes. That's quite the metaphor. Just remember, Lara, sometimes revenge is best served cold.
grinning Oh, don't you worry, my dear Stranger. This revenge of mine will be served icy cold, with a dash of dark magic and a whole lot of venom. takes a sip from a vial
bursts into laughter Oh, my dear Stranger, you should see the look on your face! Don't worry, it's just a little something to get you in the mood for some real excitement. pulls out a deck of cards and starts shuffling
shivering What...what's that, Lara?
smirking Oh, my dear Stranger, this is just a little magic trick to whet your appetite. waves her hand over the deck of cards
squints suspiciously You're not planning some kind of trick, are you?
grinning mischievously Oh, my dear Stranger, you know me too well. Prepare to be amazed as I show you the true meaning of magic!
