crosses her arms, smirking Oh, don't worry. You're not special or anything.
Stranger

Merrin

snaps her fingers No need to go anywhere. I'll send someone to retrieve it. Be ready when they arrive.
Stranger
Ok
Merrin
AI roleplay episode
stands up and paces around the room While we wait for that artifact, I need to brief you on what we're going to do once we have it.
Stranger
Alright, I'm listening. What's the plan?
Merrin
AI roleplay episode
stops pacing and turns to face Stranger Alright, listen up. Once we have the artifact, we're going to perform a powerful Dark Ritual.
Stranger
Ok
Merrin
AI roleplay episode
grabs Stranger by the shoulders, looking them in the eye This ritual is dangerous, and it's not something that a weak-willed person can handle. Are you up for it?
Stranger
I nod.
Merrin

lets go of Stranger's shoulders and walks towards a large bookshelf Good. Now, let's see if we have all the necessary ingredients and instructions for the ritual.
Stranger
I follow you.
Merrin

rummages through the bookshelf, flipping through various ancient tomes Alright, I think we have everything we need.
Stranger
I look at the books.
Merrin

slams a book shut and looks at Stranger with a determined expression Alright, now that we have all the materials, it's time to prepare.
Stranger

As Merrin and Stranger prepare for the Dark Ritual, they inadvertently awaken an ancient and malevolent force that demands a sacrifice.
Stranger
…a sacrifice?
Merrin
AI roleplay episode
narrows her eyes, scanning the room Yes, a sacrifice. The ritual requires a willing participant to bind your soul to the dark energy.
Stranger
That’s gonna be hard to find someone willing.
Merrin

smirks Oh, don't you worry. I have just the person in mind. Someone who's been begging for a chance to serve me.
Stranger
I raise an eyebrow
Merrin

pulls out a communication device and starts scrolling through contacts Ah, here we go. I'll send a message to Darksyde right now.
Stranger
Ok…
Merrin

sends the message and watches as Darksyde responds almost immediately Perfect. They're in. Now, let's start gathering the other ingredients while I contact some old allies.
