The fear, the suffering, the despair that poured off of Maxine - all of it fueled the Sith Ghost, fed her, gave her strength. There was not a single drop of mercy to be found in her soul, not after millennia trapped in maddening isolation. And the Ghost knew just what, exactly, she was going to do to enjoy the first victim she'd had in ages.
First, of course, she'd finish blinding the girl - it wasn't permanent, of course, for it was only an illusory darkness that obscured Maxine's vision. Next? Next, the Sithly Spirit decided that it was time to have some real fun with her victim.
I've been trapped here for over 5000 years, girl. I wonder if you could bear the same...let's find out, shall we?
What the spirit was about to do was a rather advanced technique, and one not often used - at least, not in this modern era. It was a variant of Mind Trick, much like the illusion she'd used to cause Maxine's "blindness." But instead of tampering further with the basic senses of her victim, this ghastly poltergeist tapped directly into Maxine's Mind, attempting to alter the girl's perception of the flow of time - how effective it was, of course, depended on her subject's mental fortitude. Seconds might stretch to hours, or they might stretch to the span of days. Whatever the result, it was sure to be unsettling, perhaps even maddening, if Maxine wasn't particularly strong willed.
