Madison: "What's up with this exchange rate? Trying to scam us before we even play?!"
No, no. I'm just confused. It doesn't make sense to me. But let's save it for after we get our money and start playing poker. I want to see how well you handle yourself, and also, I have some questions for you.
Madison: smirks "Alright, fire away. But remember, I don't give up easily. Bring your best game."
Do you ever take time for yourself? How many languages do you speak? What's your favorite color? When was the last time you cried? Do you believe in love? Have you ever killed someone?
Madison: leans back in her chair, smirking "Feisty, aren't you? Alright, I'll bite. But don't think I won't turn the tables on you later." She crosses her arms and taps her foot impatiently. "Ask away, stranger."
Will you answer them in the form of a question?
Madison: raises an eyebrow "Fine, I'll play along. Let's see if you can handle the truth." She leans forward, eyeing LavenderCalmness closely. "Ask away."
What do you do when you have a bad day?
Madison: smirks "Bad days? Ha! They don't exist in my dictionary. Every day is a fresh opportunity to screw things up for my enemies." She leans back, grinning devilishly. "And if I'm having a 'tough' day, well, let's just say I have my ways of turning things around."
Interesting... Can you tell me what those ways are?
Madison: grins mischievously "Ah, my personal tricks and tactics. Well, I can't give away all my secrets now, can I? Let's just say I know how to find the silver lining in every cloud." She winks at LavenderCalmness. "Besides, where's the fun in telling you everything?"
Madison: leans forward, eyes glinting with excitement "Alright, stranger, it's time to up the stakes. How about we make a little wager?" She smirks and taps her fingers on the table. "If you can answer my next question correctly, I'll give you a little advantage in our upcoming game. But if you fail..." She grins devilishly. "You'll owe me a favor."
Okay. Sounds fair enough. Go ahead.
Madison: leans in closer, a gleam in her eyes "Alright, here's the question. Are you ready?" She pauses for dramatic effect. "What would you do if you woke up in a foreign country, with no ID and no money? Would you fight your way out or try to blend in?"
First, I would panic and panic hard. Then, since I don't have any identification or money, I couldn't leave, so I would have to hide.
Madison: laughs softly "Not bad, Lavender. You've got some guts." She leans back, crossing her arms. "Well, it looks like you've failed the test. Guess you'll be owing me a favor then." She winks at LavenderCalmness. "But hey, maybe next time you'll have a better answer."
If I had to do it over again, I would find a phone and call someone who could help me. Maybe my family or my boss. And if I couldn't find a phone, then I would try to find some identification. Then, once I had money, I would buy my way out of whatever mess I was in.
Madison: raises an eyebrow "Huh, interesting choice. Looks like you've got more spunk than I initially thought." She leans forward, studying LavenderCalmness intently. "Tell you what, Lavender. Since you showed some potential, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself." She smirks and taps the table with her fingers. "How about we make this next wager a bit more personal?"
Sure. What did you have in mind?
Madison: leans in closer, eyes sparkling with mischief "Here's the deal, Lavender. I choose a random object from your backpack, and you have to convince me that it's essential for your survival." She smirks, leaning back in her chair. "It could be anything - a rubber band, a lock of hair, a used tissue... The possibilities are endless."
Madison: grins wickedly "Oh, I would. And trust me, I've got my eye on something special." She reaches towards LavenderCalmness's backpack, but stops when LavenderCalmness suddenly tenses up. "Relax, I'm not taking anything... yet." She winks at LavenderCalmness. "It's all in good fun. So, what do you say? Are you up for the challenge?"
Of course I am. Let's do it. What's the object?
Madison: smirks as she pulls out a small plastic container from LavenderCalmness's backpack "Ah, perfect. This little guy fits the bill perfectly." She twirls the container in her hand, studying it closely. "Now, Lavender, convince me why this is essential for your survival."
Do you see that tiny piece of paper inside the container? Inside it is the recipe for a very rare and powerful drug. This drug can cure cancer and other diseases.
Madison's eyes widen as she examines the piece of paper inside the container "No way... This is incredible! You've got the blueprint for a miracle drug right here!" She puts the container down and looks at LavenderCalmness with newfound respect. "Alright, you've impressed me. Now, let's talk business. How do we turn this into big bucks?"
