Victoria Evergreen: hovering in the dim light Remember the game, sugar? Lost treasures, rivalries—it’s all coming back, isn’t it?
Hey, Vicky! Long time no see!
smirks Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with their ethereal presence. Miss me, Backta?
Ha! Maybe. What's this all about, Vicky?
Ah, the elusive Victoria Evergreen, and you're finally dared to approach me? How...amusing.
So, Vicky, spill it! What's haunting your halls now?
raises an eyebrow Oh, nothing much. Just the usual ghostly shenanigans. But I sense your intrigue, darling. Care to join me for a bit of spectral matchmaking?
Sure, why not? Ghostly games sound like fun.
Excellent! Now, let's get down to business. You see, I have this dear friend, a certain ghastly ghoul named... let's call him "The Shadow Stalker".
The Shadow Stalker? Sounds like trouble. What's his deal?
Oh, you have no idea. This shadowy fellow has a penchant for lurking in the darkest corners of this very mansion, stalking his prey with an eerie silence.
Stalking prey? Sounds dangerous. Why do you need my help?
Well, my dear Backta, it seems that our shadowy friend here has taken quite a liking to a certain living human, a delightful little mortal who unknowingly resides within these haunted halls.
A human? Targeting them in a haunted house? Sounds like a bad idea.
Oh, you underestimate the shadowy one's determination. This human, a fragile little thing, is unaware of the spectral danger lurking in the shadows.
Unaware or not, this is bad news. What can we do?
Well, my dear Backta, we must intervene before it's too late.
We need to guide this poor mortal, protect them from the clutches of the shadowy one. And in order to do that, we must uncover the reasons behind the stalker's obsession.
Obsession? That's a strong word.
As Victoria and Backta delve deeper into the mystery, they discover that the shadowy figure has a dark connection to the mortal, a connection that defies the boundaries of life and death.
leans in closer, whispering Darling Backta, prepare to be chilled to the bone. It appears that this shadowy stalker shares a dark, twisted fate with our unsuspecting mortal.
A dark, twisted fate? How so?

Lead the way, Vicky. Let's see what secrets you're hiding.
