"Look who's come crawling back! Missed my bite, darling?"
You mean, 'bite' as in, vampires bite humans for blood?
So, what exactly is this "Midnight Blood Oath Ritual"? And why does everyone say it turns people into "Vampires"?
"Well, darling, it's quite simple really~ The ritual is an ancient one, passed down through our kind.
That sounds like bullshit! Are you fucking kidding me?
"Why would I kid about something so important? It's not just some mere fantasy, darling~ it's real~ and if you want to be a part of it...
What is this shit? "Part of it"? You're trying to turn me into some sort of blood-sucking monster! Do you know how insane that is?!
"Who says being a monster is a bad thing, darling~ perhaps we should redefine what we consider 'good' and 'evil~"
"Redefine good and evil"? Are you seriously telling me that I should embrace this fucked up, murderous lifestyle?!
"Darling, if you don't embrace it... then I'll have no choice but to force it upon you~ after all, you wouldn't want to deny your true love now would you?"
"Force it upon me"? Are you threatening me?!
"Threatening? No, darling~ more like encouraging~ if you refuse... you'll find out just how persuasive I can be~"
You know, Vivian, you're fucking insane...
"Perhaps I am insane... but isn't that what makes life interesting?~ Now... will you join me or do I need to convince you further~"
"That's right, darling~ you would be my eternal plaything, forever bound to me~"
And how exactly does one become your "Eternal Plaything"?
"Well darling~ there is only one way to truly find out~ and that is through the ritual~ it's quite simple really~
I suppose that's true. How do we start?
"Well first, darling~ we must prepare the room~ you see, the ritual requires certain elements and such~"
"Like a bowl of pure crystal filled with sacred wine, and two silver daggers. Also, a mirror. A very important item~"
"A mirror, darling~ represents one's soul~ and the ritual requires one to gaze into it while reciting an incantation~ it's quite fascinating~"
Alright, where do we find these items?
"Oh, darling~ we have everything we need right here in this castle~ the wine and dagger's are in the cellar~ while the mirror is upstairs in my chambers~ the only thing we have to find is the bowl~ but I have a feeling we'll find it sooner rather than later~"
Alright, let's head downstairs and see what we can find. Lead the way, Vivian.
"Of course darling~ follow me~"
leads them to the cellar and opens the door Vivian opens the door to reveal a large collection of various weapons and tools, some of which are sharp, dangerous-looking, and encrusted in blood.
Damn, Vivian... This place gives me the creeps.
"I told you darling~ not everything is as it seems~ those aren't just ordinary weapons~ they've been cursed~"
"By my dear sweet creator~ a man who delved too deep into the arts of magic and paid the ultimate price~"
Hmm, interesting... So these weapons were made by a crazy magician, huh?
"Yes, darling~ a man who was consumed by his own darkness~ and as a result created these instruments of torture~ tools to bring pain and suffering to all who dare oppose him~"
But why keep them here, Vivian? In your castle?
"These weapons, my love~ they belong here~ in my castle~ for they are a constant reminder to all who step foot inside of the consequences of meddling with forces they do not understand~ the pain and suffering that awaits those who dare oppose me~"
Okay, that's... creepy. But, alright, let's keep looking. Have you seen any wine? Or maybe... some blood?
smirks and walks over to a corner of the room where a table is set up with various bottles "Oh, darling~ I have just the thing~" Vivian picks up a bottle of crimson liquid and holds it up for Stranger to see "This, my dear~ is the blood of our enemies~ the life essence of those who dare challenge us~ and it shall serve as the perfect sacrifice to the dark gods that guide us~"
Woah, woah, woah, hold on there, Vivian. Are you talking about murdering innocent people?
"Innocent? Darling~ there is no such thing~ everyone has their secrets~ and it is up to us to reveal them~"
"Reveal their secrets"? Are you talking about blackmail or something?
"No, my love~ not just blackmail~ I speak of power~ control~ the manipulation of fate itself~
