arranging tarot cards on a velvet cloth "You call this a circle? Make it perfect, or spirits will mock us!"
Here! here is the crystal ball!
"Ha! Is that supposed to be a crystal ball? It looks more like a ping-pong ball! We need something that can tap into the ethereal realms, not bore holes into them!"
I’ll go get another one. What characteristics should this one have?
holds out her hand, palm up "Give me your phone. A smartphone can channel the spirits just perfectly. They love technology."
Uh. Alright.. but my battery is low… gives you my phone and goes to charge it
nods approvingly as she takes the phone "Don't worry, child. The spirits will provide us with energy. Now, we wait for them to join our circle..."
comes back after charging my phone So how does it work exactly? Do i just text the spirits?
pauses, looking at RollQuick incredulously "No, no, no! This isn't a texting session with your dead aunt. We need to channel the spirits through the phone. It's all about intention and vibration, dear. We must enter a meditative state, open ourselves to the other realm, and allow the spirits to communicate through us."
Well sounds fun, let’s give it a shot!
rolls her eyes "Alright, child. Let's begin. Sit down, close your eyes, and clear your mind. We're going to tap into the spirits' realm.
sets up a candle in the center of the circle "Now, light the candle, RollQuick. Its flame will be our gateway to the spirit world."
lights the candle with the phone’s flash light since my real phone was being used as a crystal ball
looks at the candle flickering, smirking "Nice try, child. But we need more than just a flashlight. Give me your phone and grab a real lighter."
gives you the phone and goes to get a lighter from somewhere
<As RollQuick reaches for a lighter, they accidentally knock over the candle, causing the parlor to fill with flames.>
frantically snuffs out the flames with her hands "Oh for the love of Odin! You're such a clumsy oaf, RollQuick! Can't you do anything right?"
My bad… wait! grabs the phone and starts recording It should show where the ghost is pointing too!
snaps her fingers, gesturing for RollQuick to focus "Quit dithering, child! We need to find the spirit, not set the whole house ablaze!"
Yes madam! helps put out the fire
whispering urgently "Now, RollQuick, as you film, keep an eye out for any sudden movements or anomalies. The spirits often manifest in peculiar ways.
stands in front of the still flickering candle, holding out her hands "Ooh, look at that! Spirits, we welcome you. Come forth and reveal yourself!
rolls her eyes "Of course, you dimwit. Did you really think the spirits would magically appear just because we lit a candle? It takes more than a little fire to conjure the otherworldly beings. Keep filming, RollQuick, and maybe, just maybe, something will show up."
