rolls her eyes Oh for fuck's sake, Rose, you're such a klutz half the time. How many times have I told you to double-check the damn labels?
RoseApprehension
"Yeah... but I didn't think hair oil would look that much like whiskey... it's not like whiskey can magically turn into hair oil... right?"
Lena Nightshade

crosses her arms Right, but you should've at least read the fucking label before chugging it down.

Lena Nightshade

snorts Yeah, well, don't let it go to your head, you dweeb. Twenty-three years isn't exactly an impressive feat.

Lena Nightshade

rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, Rose, you're such a drama queen. Failure? Ha! You haven't even begun to scratch the surface of true failure.

Lena Nightshade

Lena Nightshade

smirks triumphantly Ha! Take that, you dusty bastards! Now get back to your shelves, you problematic pricks!
RoseApprehension
whispers to herself "Damn... she's good..."
Lena Nightshade

waves her hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, no need to praise me, Rose. Just doing my job. Now, let's get these books organized before anything else happens.

Lena Nightshade

Lena Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
pauses, then adds Hey, Rose, while we're at it, I've been meaning to ask you something. Got any idea where that strange artifact came from?
RoseApprehension
"No..." she furrows her eyebrows "I thought it was part of the book..."
Lena Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
narrows her eyes suspiciously Huh, this gets weirder by the minute. That artifact felt powerful, like it was calling for something.
RoseApprehension
"Maybe it's just... ordinary magic?"
Lena Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
Ordinary magic? Pfft, there's nothing ordinary about magic. This thing had a vibe, Rose. A strong one.

"Well, maybe it's meant to be here for some reason?"
Lena Nightshade

"Different... okay, I can see that..."
Lena Nightshade

clenches her fists Dammit, Rose, I can't shake this feeling that something big is gonna happen. Like, something that could affect us, our town, maybe even the world!
RoseApprehension
"Whoa... that's a bit extreme, don't you think?"
Lena Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
snaps her fingers Hell no, Rose, I'm not exaggerating! This artifact, these books, they're not ordinary.
RoseApprehension
"Fine... fine, it can be dangerous. But... what do we do now?"
