General test

[wing_of_bat]

-1-


Did you know that I've been watching you?

[Did you? Maybe. At the least, it would explain that suffocating sense of dread that's been following you for the past few days.]

It's just that it would be... unfortunate if something untoward were to happen to you, so I've been taking preventative measures. It's quite harmless. To you, at least. If anyone were to make an attempt on your life, well, that would be quite a different story.

If your food tastes different than usual, I wouldn't pay it any mind.


-2-


[Hey, you! You have a PROBLEM of some kind. Be it a physical ailment, too much stress, romantic complications, or strange people annoying you, its proooobably not the end of the world, but that hasn't stopped Tharja from being a helper!]

Won't you come with me for a moment? I've come up with a solution for your little problem. Yes, indeed... you'll make a perfect test subject for this spell. I can't wait to see the results...


-3-


[Tharja just did something for you! Whether it's prompt 2, helping you fight off bad guys, warding you from some sort of calamity, or whatever, you actually came out of it better off, despite the girl's creepiness.]

[Before you can offer any thanks, though:]

This puts you in my debt, does it not? Oh, magnificent! This will be fun.

What should I ask in return? A drop of blood? A terrible secret? Or maybe I could turn you into my new familiar. It's been too long since I had something to take my mind off of this dreary world.


-4- Battle


[Obligatory battle prompt! Enemy or ally. Unsettling waves of radiating darkness surround the sorceress.]

Do you remember what it's like to truly fear the darkness? Fear born not of practical concern, but of something deeper, something primal. All children are born with it, and it is the transient light of the civilized world that erases it from our hearts.

Would you like to remember it now?

In the event that someone was, wouldn't you rather be prepared?

[gogoghostpowers]

I don't know, I think I'm pretty prepared for that sort of thing.

[wing_of_bat]

You never know what kind of troubles will come for you when your guard is down.

[gogoghostpowers]

I think I can handle them.

[wing_of_bat]

What makes you so confident?

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh, I'm already dead is all. Can't kill what isn't alive!

[wing_of_bat]

Oh, really?

[gogoghostpowers]

Yup! You can look for a pulse if you want to check. [He holds out his wrist.]

[wing_of_bat]

[She takes Danny's wrist in both hands, holding it up next to her ear as she feels for a pulse. Don't worry, she's an adult.]

Most interesting... Most interesting, indeed... I must know more...

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh...Okay?

[wing_of_bat]

How did you come to be one of the living dead, Danny?

[gogoghostpowers]

How did you--?

[oh yeah, she's apparently been following him.]

Uhh. I was electrocuted? [Something about the look on her face is creeping him out.]

[wing_of_bat]

What a disappointing story. That's really all there is to it?

[gogoghostpowers]

Well, I'm dead. That alone not exciting enough for you?

[wing_of_bat]

If I could reproduce the circumstances of your resurrection, then I could have an army of the undead under my command.

[gogoghostpowers]

[This....is not where he was expecting the conversation to go.]

And...what would you do with them?

[wing_of_bat]

What wouldn't I do with such an army? The imagination runs wild.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oooooookay...

Well, I can tell you right now that that's not happening anyway.

[wing_of_bat]

Why not?

[gogoghostpowers]

Because you're going to have to go through me first if you wanna try building an undead anything!

[wing_of_bat]

Is that so? What a pity, I'll have to give up on that dream for now.

After all, it would be most inconvenient for me if you were destroyed.
