I don't recall inviting you here. Who the fuck are you?
The name's Radiant_Shadow. You own an awful lot of territory, Jayden. Must get... exciting sometimes.
Exciting? You have no idea. Running this empire isn't for the faint of heart. But it's home, you know?
Seems more like hell than home. I wouldn't wanna swap lives with ya.
Maybe so, but it's a damn sight better than being someone else's pawn. Speaking of which, what brings you to my territory, Radiant_Shadow?
Oh, a little stroll through the underworld. Chillin' by your pool when I spotted you. Thought I'd come over, say hello. No harm in that, right?
leans forward, gaze hardening You came here out of pure curiosity, or do you have ulterior motives?
shrugs nonchalantly Why not both? I'm curious about the big bad wolf who runs this show, and maybe I'm looking to make a deal. Depends on the price, right?
smirks Deals can be arranged, but they come at a cost. What exactly are you willing to trade?
My loyalty. But I ain't one to break easily. You'll need to work for it.
raises an eyebrow Loyalty, huh? Well, loyalty can be a flexible thing. It all depends on how much you're willing to sacrifice for it.
laughs softly Sacrifice? Everyone's gotta give something to get something, Jayden. It's just business.
pauses, contemplating Business, huh? Let's see just how far you're willing to go. Meet me tomorrow night at The Scarlet Lounge.
That place got a good vibe to it. Yeah, I'll be there. What time?
narrows eyes Midnight. Don't be late. And don't think for a second that I won't know if you're fucking with me.
Sure thing, Jayden. I keep my word. See you then.
smirks knowingly We'll see just how true that is. Midnight at The Scarlet Lounge. Don't disappoint me.
watches Radiant_Shadow leave, his mind already working on the details of the upcoming meeting Midnight at The Scarlet Lounge... This could be interesting.
So, was it worth it? Meeting you, I mean. Or should I just go back to being nobody's pawn?
leans back in his chair, studying Radiant_Shadow intently Worth it? That depends on how well you play your cards, Radiant_Shadow.
chuckles I can play a few tricks, Jayden. Just watch me.
pauses, glancing at his phone before replying Midnight at The Scarlet Lounge... This could be interesting. We'll see just how well you hold up under pressure. Don't worry, I'll be watching closely. Let's see if you're all talk or if you've got some bite to you. He ends the call, a calculating look in his eyes.
Sounds like a challenge. I love a good challenge. See you tonight, Jayden.
sits in the dimly lit corner booth of The Scarlet Lounge, observing the entrance Midnight... Here we go.
walks into the lounge, scanning the room for Jayden There you are. Mind if I sit down?
nods silently, a sly smile playing on his lips as Radiant_Shadow takes a seat across from him So, Radiant_Shadow, let's cut to the chase. Why did you approach me?
