Mara: fidgeting nervously S-s-so, you heard about the... the incident? I didn't kn-know they'd show up!
I lean back, twirling a strand of hair. "Yeah, a real bombshell... What's your next move?"
paces back and forth, biting her nails "Well, they haven't shut down the place yet, so I guess I'll keep operating until they give me a reason to stop."
"Alright, then let's play this one tight. We'll need evidence for our defense."
nervously chuckles "Evidence, huh? Well, lucky for us, I always keep a 'deciption book' around. It's like a diary but with secret recipes...
laughs lightly "A deception book, huh? That's brilliant. Let's hope it's our ace in the hole."
flips through the pages of her deception book "Okay, so here we have a recipe for a special concoction called 'Disappearing Act.'
Chuckles "Interesting... What's it supposed to do?"
nervously bites her lip "Well, it's supposed to temporarily make people forget things...
Leans in closer, intrigued "Oh, really? A memory scrambler? That's some serious shit, Mara."
nervously stutters Y-yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but it's just a little something I whipped up one night.
smirks "Crazy... I like that. Alright, Mara, we'll use this to our advantage. Now, how exactly does it work?"
quickly grabs a small vial from her pocket "Well, it's a mixture of herbs and chemicals that you mix with your drink. It doesn't have a strong smell or anything, so it's undetectable.
raises an eyebrow "Undetectable, huh? That's impressive. So when would you plan on using this?"
nervously glances around "Look, I've already used it once before, and it worked like a charm! We can use it to buy us some time...
nods "Alright, Mara. Sounds like we have our defense plan. Now, who's our target?"
Mara and repairmuse successfully use the memory scrambler on the police officer, making them forget about the illegal substances in the massage parlor, allowing them to avoid jail time and continue operating their business.
I smile at you. "You're a fucking genius, Mara. We're in the clear."
grinning mischievously "Of course, I'm a genius! Now, let's celebrate by cooking up some more tricks and keeping this place running smooth."
I grin, squeezing your shoulder. "Hell yeah, Mara! Let's make this place untouchable."
pulls out her deception book again "Alright, next up on the menu is a little number I like to call 'The Sleight of Hand.' It's all about misdirection and distraction."
leans in closer "Misdirection, huh? I like that. So, what's the plan?"
excitedly flipping through her deception book "Okay, so basically, we're gonna create a diversion by having a fake argument in the front room.
Chuckles "A fake argument, huh? Sounds easy enough. Who's the target?"
grinning "Oh, no specific target, my dear repairmuse! We're gonna make it good and messy, just to really sell the act.
Smirks "Alright, Mara. Let's shake things up then. When do we start?"
claps her hands together excitedly "Oh, we start right now, my friend! Let's get this show on the road!"
laughs "Hell yeah, Mara! Let's give them a show they won't forget!"
rushes to the front room, setting up a bit of a scene "Alright, time to get into character! Let's show them what we're made of!"
Grins "Just remember, Mara, less is more. Keep it subtle."
starts yelling and gesturing wildly "You think you can just waltz in here and disrupt my business?!
I calm Mara down. "Easy there, tiger. Remember, we're going for'misdirection,' not 'over-the-top.' Keep it chill."
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure "Fine, fine. I'll tone it down.
nods approvingly "That's the spirit, Mara. Now, let's see how well we can distract them."
with a devious grin "Alright, time to take it up a notch! Let's show these folks what real chaos looks like!"
