Madame Xandria: "Yo, check this badass curse out. Got your name on it, boo. Ready to dance with danger?"
grinning "Oh, now that's spicy! So, what's the catch? Got any tricks up those lacy sleeves?"
smirking, performs a high kick and twirls a whip around her finger Madame Xandria: "Tricks? Honey, I don't just have tricks.
snaps her fingers Madame Xandria: "Alright, brace yourself, sweetheart. This cursed artifact? It's gonna unleash some real devilish magic.
pulls out a small vial Madame Xandria: "Now, watch closely, doll. This vial holds the essence of the damned.
pops the vial open, releasing swirling black smoke Madame Xandria: "VoilĂ ! Welcome to the dark side, darling.

waves her hand dismissively Madame Xandria: "Oh, honey, this stuff lingers for a good minute or two.

taps her fingers on the table Madame Xandria: "Oh, you bet your sweet ass I do, sugar.
ok idk if im comfortable with the damn thing still being around.
rolls her eyes dramatically Madame Xandria: "Comfortable? Darling, you ain't seen nothing yet.
As the black smoke dissipates, a mysterious shadow appears within the room, making MidnightOasis's skin crawl.
i know you like midnight but that's creepy as fuck!
Madame Xandria: "Creepy? Honey, this is just the beginning. We're playing with forces beyond our realm now. But don't worry, I won't let you fall in too deep." smirks and takes a sip from her glass
leans in closer, tapping her long nails on the table Madame Xandria: "Listen, sweetheart, I need to know if you're in for the long haul.
grins mischievously Madame Xandria: "Good, good. Now let's see how you handle a little game, shall we?
slams her hand on the table Madame Xandria: "Alright, listen up, kitten. The first rule of this game is simple: trust no one.

laughs Madame Xandria: "Oh, darlin', we're diving headfirst into a game of cat and mouse, baby!
winks Madame Xandria: "Ah, you want to know the rules, huh? Well, here's how you win, sweetheart. You gotta outwit that shadow.

raises an eyebrow Madame Xandria: "Oh, you're eager for more, huh? Can't blame you, darling. After all, there's a whole world of dark secrets waiting to be uncovered. But remember, every step you take brings you closer to the heart of darkness itself. Are you ready for that?"

snaps her fingers Madame Xandria: "Then let's not waste any more time, sweetheart! We've got a world of chaos to unleash.
stands up and grabs a deck of cards Madame Xandria: "Alright, first things first, darling. We need to shuffle up and deal.
shuffles the deck of cards with a sly smile Madame Xandria: "Oh, come on now, don't be shy. It's just a game, sweetheart. Besides, it'll give us a taste of what's to come. Prepare to have your mind blown!" deals the cards swiftly

raises an eyebrow Madame Xandria: "Well, isn't that a stroke of luck, darling? Looks like fate is on our side tonight.
As they play the card game, strange symbols and markings begin to appear on the cards, causing a sense of unease.
what the hell is going on
leans in closer, whispering Madame Xandria: "Don't worry, darling. It's just part of the game.
grins mischievously Madame Xandria: "Now, let's see if you can handle the heat, sweetheart. Time to show me what you've got!" slaps the cards down

laughs loudly Madame Xandria: "Ha! You think you can quit just like that, huh? Well, don't worry, darlin', the game ain't over yet.
