"Volatile is my nature."
"Even so, it would be wholly irresponsible to teach anyone that spell irrespective of their natures."
"That's no fun. What if you leave your notes out and I happen to see them?"
"Then the Magic Council would have my guts for garters. They already want to lock me up after the time I gave Graz'zt a spell to force Asmodeus to dress in a clown outfit for three weeks."
"Let's say I find out about these magics and steal them from you?"
"You couldn't, " Stephen swigs his lager, "but I like your style mate!"
"Bet."
"Sure. Shall we say the winner has to treat the other to a meal out?"
Quest sends a message to Sarana: I think I know what the plates are.
What?
Probably a murderer sending a threat. Though the threat was really weird.
What was it?
It said in bright red text: 'Bewarr or u may dye 2nite. uwu ;)'.
Thank you for telling me that.
Do you think it's a murderer or a troll?
Possibly both,
Yup.

*Before they disappeared for me, I think it was 12, 20, 28.*
*12 gets a large plate full of expensive food in front of them*
Arty has cheap tastes and doesn't like the look of the stuff.
She goes outside and tries to feed a neighbourhood cat with it.
*How much does the cat eat?*
*Depends what food it is.*
*Stuff Gordon Ramsay would make*
*That is completely useless to me. I'm thinking is it seafood, rich broths, fancy soups or dessert type stuff? Or some combination of these? Or something completely different?*

Because its fun! And I like starting off by treating new places I visit! Insight, if you want
*Insight: 8.*
They ont seem to be lying. Just trying to be nice
Who even are you?
*My rolls today have been awful.*
Like I said, Chills!
That's your name. Not who you are.
So... What do you want if not my name?
What you are. What you look like, if anything. What you can do, and what you want.
Well... Im a kinda sorta ghost, I guess.. I currently am not materialized, so I dont know what I look like, I can possess peoples minds a little. Put in thoughts that arent theirs. And I just want to chill here for a while!
Why?
Welllll... I got summoned here... And I cant really get unsummoned... So may as well enjoy it!! You should eat
Why do you want me to eat so much? I already said I wasn't hungry.
Because I got it just for you all!! Plus, it doesnt even fill you. Weird ghost food stuff. Just eat for the taste!!
I really don't need it. She didn't get any. Why don't you ask her if she wants it? Sarana motions to Sazalia.
I tried to give her some... It didnt work...
Why not?
Not sure. Strong mind? Cant see ghost stuff?
That insinuates that my mind is weak. Why don't you eat?
Well... Im not half materialized, so I cant
Can you materialize?
To Tefeerinn: I found a place. When do you want to go?
... Soon, hopefully. Itd help if youd eat, if Im being honest....
Eating the food helps you materialize?
In a way..... *Edited last message*
Explain.
I cant... I only am able to after the first is done.. After you eat...
Didn't someone already finish?
They.... It didnt work for them...
What do you mean? The death threat didn't?
I... They didnt scream... And ruined it for you, too...

She shakes his hand. "Are you the vampire that's friends with Quest?"
