The Crooked Man: I see... It will be a... deal. *he has his hand towards them, ready to shake*

The Crooked Man: Anything related to me is off limits. Thats my only rule...

The Crooked Man: Fine... *he has his hand raised to them*

*The crooked man would growl a bit*

???: Fine... then this one *on his screen appears an image of Boltam*

The Crooked Man: Its a deal. *he has his hand towards them*

???: Deal. *shakes his hand*

*The Crooked Man smiles, as he disperses into shadows*

*a little plushie of Boltam would appear in their hands, with a puppet option*

???: *gasp* Awwww!

Data: ?

(try to summon thy with how i said with Elsuper, and burn a stick doll)

Data: you do it

Astra: I'm not gonna read it!

Data: it's just a creepy ass poem. Read it.

Astra: *uno reverse*

Data: *sigh*

*the wind blows*

Data: There lived a crooked man, who made a crooked deal

He kept a crooked cane, and his catch in crooked creel

He stole a crooked child, who cried a crooked squeal

And that crooked little man was broken on the wheel

... There, are you happy you little coward?

Astra: -_-

*the wind blows, where a wooden doll appears in front of them, with some matches near it*

Data: oh shit it actually did something

Astra: o_o

*the wind blows more steadily*

Astra: ... Fire?

Data: yep.

*Data burns the doll*

*a echoing laugh would be heard, as the wind blows more*

*astra pulls out her spear*

Data: relax. It's just a random ghost dude who's gonna ask for a deal we can't fulfill.

Astra: ... Right. No souls.

???: There lived a crooked man... who made a crooked deal... *the voice would echo around, sounding raspy and scary*

*data's unfazed and Astra's shaking like crazy*

???: He kept a crooked cane... and his catch in crooked creel... *the voice would get more closer and wispy*

*data cartoonishly checks her nonexistent watch*

???: He stole a crooked child... that made a crooked squeal... *the voice would be closer to Astra*

*astra enters a battle-ready stance and her mask forms over her face*

???: And that little crooked man was broken on the wheel. *his voice would sound right behind Astra, with his smile gleaming in the darkness*

*astra frantically swings her spear and accidentally hits data*

Data: WHAT THE HELL CALM DOWN

*The Crooked Man would come from the shadows, standing over at 7 feet tall*

*astra immediately backs away*

Data: astra, his arms are twigs. Stop being a coward.

The Crooked Man: I wouldnt say... twigs... *he would point a cane which raises some tendrils*

The Crooked Man: Now... I see you have summoned me... Why have you summoned me?

Data: I wanted to see if the poem actually did anything

The Crooked Man: Do you want... To make a deal? You can wager anything, and i can give anything in return... Information... Riches... Love... Power...

Data: I know your game. You take souls.
We don't have any

The Crooked Man: I can take more then just souls. You can wager anything for what you desire.

Data: nah, I've already gotten what I wanted. Also astra looks like she's about to fry her circuit board so how do I send you back

The Crooked Man: You may not want something... *shadow traverses right up to Astras face*

The Crooked Man: BUT YOU might...

*Astra's spear starts glowing*

Data: ... You might wanna take cover

The Crooked Man: Astra... What do you desire...

Data: seriously, back off, she clearly wants you to go back to whatever hell-hole you came from

The Crooked Man: Tell me, Metal One. What do you desire... *he would smile a bit more, almost ignoring Data*

Data: tried to warn you. *Hides behind a rock*

*without saying a word astra starts relentlessly swinging her spear, sending slashes of light flying towards the crooked man similar to collector's attacks*

*The Crooked Man disperses into shadows, which it reforms behind her*

*astra immediately spins around and swings her spear at him again, aiming for his neck*

*The Crooked Man would grab the blade of the spear mid swing*

The Crooked Man: So energy wasting. *he would do a laugh as he did a slash on her eye*

*her eye sparks a bit and her other arm morphs into a large gauntlet, she tries to punch him in the face*

*The Crooked Man disperses into shadows again, which he reforms aside her, which he uses his cane to break the gauntlet with a swift motion*

*the fragments of the gauntlet stick to his hand and immobilize it*

*Astra tries to cut off his arm*

*The Crooked Man disperses again, which he goes right behind her and kicks her in the back, sending her to a tree*

*data electrocutes him from behind*

(they stuck because she's nanotech and can still morph them into stuff)

*The Crooked Man would do a screech, which he backhands Data*

*she catches his hand and chomps it with her scary mouth*

The Crooked Man: YOU CREATURE! *he sends a tendril into their mouth*

*more electricity*

*The Crooked Man disperses into shadows*

Data: *runs over to astra* ARE YOU OK!?

Astra: a little beat up but... yeah... I guess...

*the wind blows a bit as the doll crumbles*

*data stomps its ashes and helps Astra get up*

*the ashes get blown away from the wind*

Data: ... Let's go home

Astra: *nods*
