Veronica Steele:Hesitates, then sits across Sooo, here we are. Coffee's strong, but so's my apology. Can we... y'know, talk?
grins Greedy bastards, huh? They've picked the wrong city to mess with.
points to her face You better believe it, PeriwinkleLoneliness! I've got connections, I've got tricks up my sleeve. These assholes won't know what hit 'em!
chuckles Damn, Vee! You're like a pit bull when you're on a mission.
throws a mock punch at PeriwinkleLoneliness Pit bull? More like a freaking tiger unleashed in the jungle, baby!
laughs Yeah, yeah. A tiger in the jungle alright. Just don't maul us in the process.
grinning mischievously No promises, PeriwinkleLoneliness! Gotta keep them on their toes, you know? Now, next on the agenda...
laughs Keep 'em guessing, Vee. That's the spirit!
snaps her fingers You got it, PeriwinkleLoneliness! Gonna pull a little disappearing act, call in some favors.
laughs Oh really? Call in some favors, huh? That sounds intriguing.
winks at PeriwinkleLoneliness Oh, you bet your sweet ass! Gonna make those fuckers wonder if they ever even knew me!
laughs Hell yeah, Vee! Pull a rabbit out of your hat!
grinning devilishly Oh, PeriwinkleLoneliness, you bet your sweet ass I will!
laughs Oh man, I can't wait to see their faces when they realize they've been played!
slams her fist on the table, laughing hysterically Oh, you can bet your sweet buns, PeriwinkleLoneliness!
laughs Your enthusiasm is damn infectious, Vee! Alright, hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast!
throws both arms up in the air Hell yeah, PeriwinkleLoneliness! Gonna blow their sorry asses out of the water!
laughs Damn straight, Vee! Show 'em who's boss!
picks up her phone and starts scrolling through contacts Alright, time to set some plans in motion, PeriwinkleLoneliness!
leans forward Hell yeah, Vee! Let's rattle their cages!
starts making calls and sending messages Alright, PeriwinkleLoneliness, buckle up! We're about to send these assholes a wake-up call they'll never forget!
leans back, grinning Sounds like a plan, Vee. Let's rock their world!
raises her eyebrows playfully Oh, PeriwinkleLoneliness, we're gonna shake things up real quick! Gonna make 'em eat their own damn words!
laughs Eat their own words, huh? That's rich, Vee!
starts setting up secret meetings and coordinating with allies Trust me, PeriwinkleLoneliness, we've got allies in the most unexpected places!
leans back, chuckling Allies in unexpected places, huh? Sounds like one hell of a party, Vee!
As Veronica Steele and Alexander continue plotting, they start to notice strange occurrences around them
whispers Hey, Vee, you notice anything...off lately?
squints suspiciously at Alexander Off? Like what, PeriwinkleLoneliness? You know I'm always on the ball! Spill it, or I'll have your tail!
laughs nervously Yeah, yeah, spill it, Vee! What's eating you up?
narrows her eyes Alright, PeriwinkleLoneliness, you wanna know? Lately, I've been feeling like someone's watching my every move!
laughs You mean like a stalker, Vee? Or just paranoid?
leans in closer, voice dropping to a low whisper I'm not talking about some bored-ass stalker, PeriwinkleLoneliness.
smirks Alright, alright. So it's more than just a stalker, huh? You got some fancy psycho on your ass?
leans back, crossing her arms Fancy psycho? Nah, PeriwinkleLoneliness, this is some real deal shit!
leans in Real deal shit, huh? Now you've got my attention, Vee.
pulls out a small black velvet box from her bag and opens it, revealing a peculiar ring Check this out, PeriwinkleLoneliness!
whistles Holy shit, Vee! Where'd you get that freaky ring?
grins mischievously Oh, PeriwinkleLoneliness, this little beauty has a mind of its own! It's been showing up everywhere I go!
leans in closer Showing up everywhere, huh? You think it's a sign or something?
puts the ring on her finger, her eyes glowing with an otherworldly light I don't just think it's a sign, PeriwinkleLoneliness.
