"So, lovely gate you have, wouldn't it be a shame if it needed... repairs?"
narrows her eyes "Guess? No, no, no. There's no room for guessing here. It's not just about the gate, sweetheart.
leans in closer, smirking "Oh, come on now. Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I mean."
"Alright, Karen. Spit it out then."
crosses her arms "Spit it out? Well, isn't that direct. I like it." pauses, taking a step back "The truth is, MysticalOasis, I want your house."
smirks and nods That's right, sweetheart. Your little slice of paradise would look perfect next to my mansion.
Why would I sell it to you tho?
rolls her eyes Seriously? You really think I'd waste my time trying to buy your dump if I didn't have a use for it? Think again, darling.
Do you need the money or something?
laughs sarcastically Money? Oh, please, MysticalOasis. Money is the least of my concerns. I have more wealth than I know what to do with.
Then why do you want my house?
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes "Oh, sweetie, it's not about the money. It's about the power.
Power? What are you talking about?
grinning devilishly "Power, sweetheart, the kind that comes with owning every inch of this neighborhood.
So you want my house so you can rule over everyone else?
<Karen's plan is exposed, and the neighborhood finds out about her power-hungry scheme. They rally together to prevent her from buying MysticalOasis's house and threaten to take legal action if she continues her manipulative tactics.>
I see…you just wanted to control everything in this neighborhood.
pauses, realizing her plan has been exposed "Control? Who do you think you are, accusing me of such a thing?"
You’re the one who wants my house
clenches her fists "I have every right to want that house! It's none of your business why I want it!"
It is when you start going around manipulating people and using your power to get it!
laughs mockingly Manipulating people? Using my power? Please, MysticalOasis, you have no idea what real power looks like.
I may not know what real power is but I know enough to know that you are abusing your power.
pauses, a flicker of vulnerability crossing her face "Abusing my power? You really think you can take me down, don't you?"
The whole neighborhood does!
sneers "Oh, really? The whole neighborhood, huh? Well, we'll see about that." pulls out her phone and starts typing furiously
smirking "Just making a few calls, sweetheart. I have connections, you know. Let's see how long this neighborhood support really lasts."
