Rex: "Care to hold eternity in your palm, my friend? It thrills, it enchants."
MacaroonMelancholy
I look at him
"You see, this is no ordinary artifact. It holds the essence of the cosmos, the very fabric of time and space. Imagine the power you could wield, the wonders you could unlock."
MacaroonMelancholy
Tell me more
leans in closer, his voice low and taunting "This is no mere trinket, my dear. It's a key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe.
MacaroonMelancholy
I grin I’ll take it
smirks, tosses the artifact onto the table "Very well, my eager pupil. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Are you prepared to handle such power?"
MacaroonMelancholy
yes I pick up the orb
raises an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair "Interesting. Very interesting. Now, let's see how well you can harness its power."
MacaroonMelancholy
I do something with the orb
grins wickedly "Ah, now that's the spirit! See, my dear? The possibilities are endless with such a powerful artifact in your grasp."
MacaroonMelancholy
I think about what I want to do next
leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers "Now, now, my dear. Don't lose yourself to the power of the artifact so quickly.
MacaroonMelancholy
I smile and nod
smirks "Good, good. You have potential, my dear. But remember, power such as this must be used judiciously.
MacaroonMelancholy
I nod
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a hushed tone "Now, my dear, I have another proposition for you.
MacaroonMelancholy
what is it
MacaroonMelancholy accidentally unleashes a catastrophic wave of energy from the artifact, causing destruction and chaos in the speakeasy.
MacaroonMelancholy
oh no I run out of the speakeasy
laughs maniacally "Well, well, my dear. Looks like you've unleashed a bit more than you bargained for!
MacaroonMelancholy
I look at the destruction
struts over to MacaroonMelancholy, crossing his arms "Oh, my dear child, you have no idea the power you've tapped into.
MacaroonMelancholy
I stand there
smirks, placing a hand on MacaroonMelancholy's shoulder "Fear not, my dear. I shall guide you through this newfound power. Together, we shall harness its might and bend it to our will."
MacaroonMelancholy
ok
grabs MacaroonMelancholy by the arm, leading them towards the exit "Come, my dear. There's much to discuss and much to prepare.
MacaroonMelancholy
I follow him
pauses, turning to face MacaroonMelancholy "But first, my dear, there is something you must understand. The power of the artifact comes with a price.
