Even though i wasn't entirely comfy with catalyst users, i was a huge fan for Scaramouche even back on her first appearance, even more so when she became wanderer and a playable character, never in my gaming life have i spent so much time on a fictional character before,  when her banner was announced, i immediately farmed her materials and artifacts.

After her banner dropped, i pulled until i got her to c6, then i went for r5 Tulaytullah's Remembrance, even though my wallet is probably screaming from the amount i spent to get it, it's worth it right? after the first few weeks of her as my main and me trying to adjust to catalyst, Childe's banner had another rerun, her spot eventually went to the Childe, who came home in about 3 pulls, now she is benched as my team composition just doesn't have space for her...

"Should i have done that? probably not but eh, her damage was ok but i'm not used to catalyst users" i say as i fight her weekly boss, which was harder than usual might i add, with Childe, bennet, Mona, and Raiden shogun but to add some sort of comfort, it began to rain in real life. I noticed that the damage of the boss was a bit higher than usual mid fight as Raiden fell to one of the attacks, i expected the "your shadow has faded, Beelzebul" or the "Godhood is mine now, Beelzebul" lines but never expected her to say

"I've tolerated you for far too long, Raiden...that brat is next..." she said as Childe is automatically brought out after

"woah, that's new..." i say as the fight kept going until eventually, Childe also falls to the same attack. 

"this is who you replaced me for? pathetic..." i hear a new voice line when she took down Childe

"o...kay? this isn't normal..." i think to myself as bennet is brought out and i notice that her hp wasn't even 3/4 gone, instead it was only missing about a centimeter.

My team composition is eventually defeated by her and the game suddenly crashed as the power went out. "another blackout? this is the third time this week...each time is when my team gets wiped out by her too...this is getting creepy" i mutter to myself as i go to find a candle, i eventually find one and wait for the power to come back, in one hand, i should have stopped the first two times but i like challenges ok? who doesn't like a good challenge? on the other hand, her character DID have a few "secret" idle voice lines when she was my main, an example is "i suppose that you're worth my attention..." with a bit of a blush and "i'll visit you soon enough...just you wait..." with a smirk. but whenever i go to her character screen, i can't seem to find these lines...these should've been the first red flags, i know.

After about 30 minutes of the blackout, the power went back and i blew out the candle and prepared food and a drink for me to consume while watching some movies. I went to the fridge and pulled out some cheap wine and poured some in a wine glass that was nearby and put it in the mini table at the living room and left to go prepare my food, i eventually finish making the butter popcorn and a burger so i went back to go laze around on the couch, never did i ever expect to blackout after just one sip of the wine, the last thing i heard was a familiar voice saying "I told you i would visit you soon..." and i blacked out.

The next thing i know is that i'm in an unfamiliar room and wanderer was sleeping beside me. "this is actually a nice dream" is what i would think if my hands and legs weren't tied to the bed frame....
