Knock three times and I will,
Knock,
Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Jealousy is a sexy color on you. Almost as sexy as blood.”
“That’s not how things work, angel. Life is not measured in good or bad thoughts—it’s how you treat the world around you despite them. All the people who only do good deeds because of what that might gain them in the afterlife are no better than those who indulge in a little sin every once in a while.”

when she was pregnant with a second child, she made a bargain with a Devil in New Orleans by the name of Andrea.
Ophelia, my darling.
Do not live your life according to what you think would have pleased me. I was too hard on you, I think. I thought I was making you strong, but I see now that I put too much pressure on you and it was too heavy. Death brings so much clarity.
Not too soon, though, my darling. Live.
“Did you know I would land in the same place?”
“I made an educated guess,”
Necromancer—and a Specter—your
Not even the dead want you.
Hush, girl,
We won’t let them treat you like this.
If they cannot live with both of us, they must perish.
Kill them.
You don’t have a choice, you belong to me.
Make them pay.
Next. Slit their throat.
Cut out this one’s heart,
Now, we take care of them.
Yes,
They think you’re a burden. They don’t want you around. Get rid of them.
My name is Phoebe.”

Riddle #6
“Ophelia Grimm… kissed a Devil.”
“Baker Broussard is colorblind,”
You’re yellow-blue colorblind.”
“Charlotte Williams is a…”
“A twin?”
“Cade Arceneaux killed his sister’s husband,”
“Luci Veil is in love with Leon Summers.”
This is utterly delightful.
“Leon Summers is not in love with Luci Veil,”
I, Lucinda Veil, surrender to Phantasma.”
“In a different life, in a fair one, I would’ve kept you until my eternal soul withered away to dust,” he vowed to her.
A choice of two tokens, a decision to make, if all only take one, nothing is at stake. If two choose one, and the third takes all, the third will walk, the others will brawl. If two choose all, and the third takes one, the third will be free, the other two are done.
Riddle#7
“Have I ever told you how much I adore a woman who isn’t afraid to get her hands bloody?”
Yes. Yes. Kill him, make it slow, gouge his eyes out and rip his flesh from his body,
No, not quick, agonizingly slow,
Yes, Necromancer,
Embrace your calling, harbinger of death. Unleash your darkness on the world.
“You killed Cade with your bare hands, and now you have unleashed me on the world.”
You don’t need to fix yourself. You’re not broken. But it’s okay to get outside help if it gets too loud.
