p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"As soon as Melanie laid her head back on the pillow, Dementia burst through the door as a one-woman band and began playing as loud and obnoxiously as she possibly could causing Melanie to bolt upwards in shock and style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe was equipped with an accordion, a drum, a trumpet, cymbals, and more instruments than Melanie could count./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You do realize that I can summon portals to hell, right?" Melanie retorted annoyedly as Dementia climbed on the bed and started pushing her towards the edge./span/p
