Here's the thing about this place...
I'm glad you love it. It is a great home.
but its history is unknown by those whom like the face.
There have been a number of occurrences that are... abnormal.
Those who live within these walls experience a change.
This place was the site of some strange rituals.
In the basement is an odd device
That grants the user the power of immortality
For an even stranger price of venality
what does that even mean?
Basically, you have to put yourself in life threatening danger
every month in order to retain that skill.
Stranger, your fear of death and you life will never distill.
Would you take that deal?
