>"Well, fine."
>And suddenly there is someone standing in front of you! She is a short woman with pale green hair, wearing a yellow blouse and green skirt, as well as a wide-brimmed black hat. Curious blue cords weave around her body, connecting to a blue sphere near her chest that looks something like a closed eye. She wears an easy smile, and cradles a white porcelain mask in her hands. Now that you can see her, you can sense there is something off about her. It is that aura of death, even without focusing, you can almost sense it.
