whispers This crimson moon, it's like my heart... bleeding for a revelation. offers a small, vulnerable smile
BestShin
So... what's your plan? What do you hope to achieve tonight?
grabs BestShin's hand and pulls them towards the altar Tonight, we're going to conjure a spirit. A very specific spirit.
BestShin
Who?
holds BestShin's hands with intensity The spirit of an ancient vampire who holds the key to unlocking unimaginable power.
BestShin
That sounds dangerous. Are you sure you know what you're doing?
smirks and winks Oh, I'm not just sure. I'm positively beguiling. But caution is key here, my dear. We must tread carefully.
BestShin
alright, let’s try it but if anything goes wrong you’re going to stop the ritual immediately
rolls their eyes playfully Oh, come on, BestShin. Where's your sense of adventure? Life is about taking risks and embracing the unknown.
BestShin
I know that, but like I said if anything goes wrong you have to stop the ritual
raises an eyebrow and smirks Fine, fine. I promise, I'll halt the proceedings if things take a dark turn. Happy now?
BestShin
nodsOkay
starts gathering candles and incense sticks Alright, we need to create a sacred space for the ritual.
BestShin
picks up a candleWhat’s next?
claps hands excitedly Excellent question, my inquisitive friend! Next, we must cast a protective circle around the altar.
BestShin
…okay
quickly sketches a circle on the floor with chalk Right, so we start by creating the boundary.
BestShin
puts the candle down on the alterokay
As Jace begins the ritual, a powerful wind blows out all the candles, plunging the room into darkness.
BestShin
Any candles?
reaches into their pocket and pulls out a lighter, flicking it to light one candle Don't worry, my intrepid companion.
BestShin
I thought you were going to try to do something different since you used chalk instead of paint or a permanent marker
laughs mischievously Ah, well, my dear BestShin, sometimes it's important to keep things flexible.
BestShin
Alright, what do you want me to do now?
grabs BestShin's hand and leads them inside the protective circle Now, my steadfast friend, we must join hands and chant the incantation.
