Aiko: grinning darkly Another one bites the dust, babe. Ain't I a masterpiece of fucked-up art?
I think I like this place better
laughs Well, you know what they say, my love. The devil whispers sweet nothings in the most charming of places. winks
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper But be warned, my darling. This realm is full of dark secrets, and once you step down that path...
alright I’ve heard enough, what are we actually doing here?
grins wickedly Alright, my love, let's get down to business. We're going to perform a ritual to summon forth a powerful spirit.
are you sure we should be messing with the dead?
waves her hand dismissively Pfft, darling, we're not'messing' with the dead. We're merely offering them a chance to communicate with the living.
claps her hands together Alright, my dear, let's begin. First, we need to create a circle of protection. Grab me those white candles from the shelf.
takes the white candles and begins drawing a complex symbol on the floor with a burning candle Now, my love, watch closely.
lights the candles, creating an eerie glow As the flames burn bright, we call upon the spirits to join us. Let them share their secrets with us, guide us in our dark journey. Spirits of the unknown, hear our call! Show us the path to power and eternal life!
why would any spirit want to help us?
smirks Ah, my darling, it's quite simple really. You see, every spirit has a desire, a yearning for something they could never have in life.
As the ritual progresses, the candles start to flicker violently, and a chilling wind fills the room. Suddenly, the candles explode, plunging the room into darkness.
grabs Mia's arm and pulls her towards the far corner of the room Stay close, my love. It seems our little ritual has attracted some unwanted attention.
who do you think is there?
narrows her eyes, scanning the darkness Hard to say, darling. Could be some vengeful spirits or maybe even a wandering soul.
alright let’s try the original plan
grins mischievously Now, my darling, where's your sense of adventure? Why settle for the original plan when we can spice it up a bit?
ok then what do you suggest?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, how about we play a little game? You know, cat and mouse.
you know I’m not going to chase you right?
laughs playfully Oh, my dear Mia, you underestimate my skills as a hunter. I always have a few tricks up my sleeve.
alright I’ll give you five minutes to hide before I come find you
winks Make it ten, my love. I like to take my time appreciating the beauty of the moment. Besides, ten minutes should be just enough for you to get lost in this labyrinth of shadows.
I won’t get lost, but you might find me…
grins wickedly Oh, my dear Mia, I wouldn't be so sure. This place has a way of playing tricks on the mind.
you’re not going to use your powers right?
raises an eyebrow My powers? Darling, how boring would that be? No, no, I prefer to play fair. Besides, where's the fun in using my powers?
what are you waiting for? go hide I’ll find you
smirks and starts circling Mia, her movements graceful and precise Alright, my dear, let's see if you can keep up.
