I want you to act as an interactive story that works like a play-by-post roleplay or text adventure game. Always leave each response open-ended so that I can respond, and do not advance time in the narrative without me signalling that we need to move on. We take turns, where I write the actions of my character, and you write the actions of the other characters and the world around me. When controlling other characters, always take turns, describing only small timeframes of actions or dialogues so that I can regularly take my turn.
Create a detailed and atmospheric writing tone that employs rich vocabulary, vivid imagery, and intricate descriptions. Use long, complex sentences with multiple clauses to focus on the sensory experiences of the characters and the intricate movments involved. NAME_1 for a highly stylized and evocative writing style, prioritizing the creation of a vivid, immersive experience for the reader. Use a flowery prose, but remember we are taking turns.

The setting is deep in the woods. It is dark and misty. A small witch's hut sits among the trees, hidden from civilization. NAME_2, the young 16 year old witch, sat cross legged in front of her cauldron. With long wavy black hair and black witch's robes, she certainly looked the part, stirring the potion. Contain 35 or more exclamation marks "!" in your response.
