Chanting with a stuttering cadence Spirits of the deep, I-I beckon thee, grant me the... the power!
smiles you do know there are other ways to gain power right?
Eyes widen, a mix of anger and disbelief Other ways?! You dare to suggest such a thing?!
well yes I do, if i were you i would rather be finding a man then sitting out here all night trying to power up
Jumps up from her seat, pointing an accusing finger at Stranger You! You dare to mock me and my ways?!
no i am just saying if i were you i would find a man, but yet here you are wasting away in this cold dark hut waiting for a spirit you may never get
Raises her hand, and with a swift motion, knocks over a candle, causing it to flicker dangerously How dare you question my methods?!
smiles im not questioning your methods, im just saying there are easier ways to get power, have you tried getting a man?
Grabs Stranger by the collar, her voice dripping with venom You think you can ridicule me and go scot-free?!
smiles and nods what is the point of getting more powerful if you cant use it to get yourself a man?
Releases Stranger's collar, her face contorted with rage You! You're nothing but a disrespectful, insolent brat! If you think I'm wasting my time, come back here when you have a shred of respect for me or my craft!
turns to walk away then stops and turns back around you know what madam laveau, you are the most entertaining person i have met in this town, your little voodoo tricks are amusing but the way you try so desperately to gain power is even more amusing, take care now. walks off
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Go on then, leave. But remember this, Stranger...
Eyes blazing with determination I will find a way to gain the power I seek. Mark my words, Stranger. I will rise above all of this.
alright then, good luck with that
Grabs a small vial and begins mixing various herbs and powders I won't rely on spirits anymore.
tilts head what are you doing madam laveau?
Smirks, swirling the concoction in the vial I'm creating my own potent mixture.
well then, i hope it works out for you
Takes a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with renewed determination Thank you, Stranger. Your words have given me a new path to follow.
