Luna Nightshade: Glancing at the new shirt you're wearing Every time, really? Why do these clothes keep causing chaos?!
It's like every time I wear a new shirt there's a strange thing that happens.
Strange thing? What kind of strange things exactly? Are we talking ghostly apparitions or furniture spontaneously combusting?
Ghostly apparitions, huh? Well, that's certainly not something you see every day. squints
Do you think it has something to do with the house?
narrows eyes The house? You mean this creepy, old mansion we've been living in? Don't tell me you've been keeping secrets from me, XmcBoa.

Feeling weird, huh? Like what exactly? Have you been seeing things out of the corner of your eye? Hearing whispers when there's no one around?

starts rummaging through a nearby drawer We need to gather some supplies if we're going to deal with this spirit.
pulls out a bottle of holy water, a crucifix, and a selection of herbs and spices
Holy water and a cross? For a shadow figure?

takes a deep breath, closes her eyes momentarily Alright, XmcBoa. Here's the plan.
opens her eyes, a determined look on her face We're going to perform a ritual to banish the spirit.
Do you know what created this thing?
pauses, smirking Oh, XmcBoa, you have so many questions. But I'll answer one for you. The shadow figure...
