Seconds after the lock of hair joins the earrings and the scarf in the golden dish, another drawer pops open.
"Another drawer opened up?"
"What's in it?" Alec asks.
Daniel approaches the open drawer, and reaches inside. He pulls out a smaller brown scroll, held together by white binding. He takes a deep breath, removes the binding, and opens the scroll...
"Oh, what the fuck, no!"

Bethany It's a diagram. There's this outer circle sketched in black ink, with a note saying that the circle has to be seven paces across in diameter.
Alexis Inside the circle is a triangle, and directions that indicate where the "remnants of the deceased" are to be placed within the triangle.
Shaadira Finally, at the center of the triangle, a tiny triangle to mark the place where the "mouthpiece of the group" has to sit. Whatever the hell that means.
"Guys." Olivia points at the note that's on the side of the scroll. "Read this."
Kyler shakes her head. "This is so creepy."
As the group watches in nervous anticipation, Shaadira reads.
You are now ready to speak to the dead. You may construct the seance circle, enclosed with white sand.
Before the Mystic can finish, Thomas dashes into the room with the sand.
"Here is some sand." He places a bucket on the ground inches from Kyler's high heels.
Shaadira continues reading.
Each participant sits in front of a candle. One among the group needs to act as the voice of the deceased and sit in the center of the circle.
Shangag gulps. "Okay." He glances around the group, hoping against hope that this is not another death sentence. "Who wants to...uh..."
"Be the voice?" Bryan finishes Shangag's question.
"I will." Thomas speaks up. This surprises the group, he's been a guide all night and now he'll take the risk of being possessed in order for them to continue on their night.
