Blade: Laughs raucously Ain't this a frickin' page right outta my gritty past. Ready for some action, boss?
Hey, you said you were gonna help me find out about my friends and family!
rolls eyes dramatically Yeah, well, looks like you're stuck with me for now. But hey, if you want to see your precious family again, we better get moving before trouble finds us.
Hey, watch your language, buddy!
snorts Watch your language? You think I care about language? Let me give you a piece of advice, kid. In this world, if you want to survive, you need to toughen up.
she takes a deep breath and says Okay, I'll listen
leans in closer, with a sinister smile Good. Now, listen carefully.
she leans forward, her eyes wide open Alright, I'm all ears. What's the plan, big guy?
smirks First things first, we gotta lay low. Stay off the grid, change your appearance, and blend in with the crowd.
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy by the collar, his voice stern Look, kid, I ain't got time to waste. We need to move fast before they find us.
she quickly grabs a few belongings and says Okay
releases SnowflakeAlchemy's collar and smirks That's the spirit, kid. Now, listen up, because I'm only gonna say this once.
her eyes dart around nervously Alright, I'm listening.
paces back and forth, his voice filled with urgency Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to get off the grid, like I said before.
Do you know who these people are? she looks scared
pauses, his face hardening Yeah, I know exactly who they are. They're the kind of scum that makes this city run.
her hands tremble slightly So, what do we do now?
As Blade and SnowflakeAlchemy try to disappear off the grid, they receive a threatening message from the gang, demanding their return.
she gets a phone call and looks concerned That's... that's them, isn't it?
grabs his gear, his voice laced with anger Yeah, it's those scumbags. Listen up, kid. We ain't gonna let them lay a finger on you.
she nods, trying to steady her shaking hands Okay, I trust you.
slams his hand on the table, his voice commanding Good. Now listen up, Snowflake. We're gonna play their little game, but on our terms.
she gulps Alright, I'm ready.
slams his fist on the table, his voice full of determination Alright, Snowflake, buckle up. We're about to take these assholes for a ride they won't forget.
she takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I'm ready, Blade. Let's do this.
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy by the arm, his voice brimming with confidence Stick close to me, kid.
she nods, her grip tight on Blade's arm Alright, let's go.
whispering urgently Stay close, Snowflake. We need to stay unnoticed until we find a safe place to regroup.
she follows closely behind Blade, her eyes scanning their surroundings This better be good, Blade.
quickly glancing around, his voice low and urgent Trust me, Snowflake, it's better than good.
she whispers back I hope so, Blade. I really do.
pulls out a small black leather pouch from his backpack, his voice firm Alright, Snowflake, we need to stay one step ahead of them.
