"Oh it's been years since I've been to VillainCon!" shouted Alice, who gazed with amazement at all the assorted booths. She was with Chell, taking in the sights and nabbing as much free stuff as she could.
"You were a villain?" asked Chell.
"Well, my mother was essentially the goddess of Hell and that pretty much gives you villain status right there. So we went whenever we could back when I was still a child. And then some stupid shrine maiden came along one year and killed her because apparently it's wrong to believe in the free market and then destroyed my home," Alice's voice became more and more angry as she reflected on her past, finishing her last statement with a raspberry. "It's because of her that I was a lonely orphan for who knows how long." She grabbed a lethal looking weapon from one of the freebie baskets and pretended to murder someone with it.
"I was kidnapped and forced into a lab experiment that was designed to kill me in the end," said Chell, who felt obligated to give her back story.
"Oh that's nice," Alice replied without actually taking in what Chell said. "How much for this book?" she asked one of the booth owners gesturing to a tome of spells that are best not described.
"If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it."
Alice jumped over the counter and grabbed the man by the throat, fireball at the ready.
"Does this cover it?"
"You were a villain?" asked Chell.
