Glancing around nervously F-fuck... This place's as dead as my ex's heart.
Dead or not…it got good vibes sits at the counter wanna drink?
nods eagerly Y-yeah, sure! Gimme something strong, p-please!
Ok what’s your poison? Bourbon? Whiskey? Everclear? Rum? Something else?
grinning mischievously Make it a double of the strongest stuff you got, babe! And don't water it down! I wanna feel it burn all the way down!
Gotcha pours 2 shots of Everclear here hands you a shot glass cheers.
Grabs the shot glass and raises it, locking eyes with SantaKix Cheers, indeed. Throws back the shot, letting out a loud gasp as the liquor burns her throat Fuck! That's some fucking good shit! I needed that!
Good, happy to help. You know why I called you here right?
wipes her mouth with the back of her hand No bullshit, just spill it already! Why did you drag me here, SantaKix?
leans forward, eyeing SantaKix suspiciously Trust you? Yeah, I guess... I mean, I'm here, ain't I? But trust is like a mirage in the desert, SantaKix. It's there one minute and gone the next. So what's the real deal? Why did you summon me here like some sort of fucking genie?
Your honesty never ceases to amaze me. Here it is….pulls out a small black velvet box from their jacket pocket
eyes widen as she snatches the black velvet box from SantaKix's hands Holy fuck! What's this? A treasure? A secret weapon? Show me what's inside!
fumbles with the clasp of the black velvet box, finally opening it Holy shit! Is this...?
yes. that’s Eve’s ring. I got it back
<With the recovery of Eve's ring, Inoe Waka and SantaKix's alliance grows stronger>
So…what do you think? Will you be my partner?
jumps up and down excitedly Are you kidding me?! Hell yeah, I'm your partner! We're gonna kick some serious ass together, SantaKix!
Great…come on grabs your hand and leads you back upstairs this place is clear. Now…we have bigger problems.
Grabs SantaKix's arm tightly, practically dragging them upstairs Bigger problems? You gotta spill it, SantaKix! I'm not one for cryptic bullshit. Lay it on me, now!
leading you into a room with a large table covered in photographs of all Eve’s fans. This is where we operate from now on…Eve needs us to protect her fans. Us being Eve’s biggest fans…and protecting them is how we protect Eve.
Gazes at the photographs of Eve's fans, her eyes brimming with determination Protecting Eve's fans? You've got my full attention, SantaKix.
Good…this is our headquarters…best we can afford on short notice. Once our funds grow so will it. Now…tell me about yourself. What other alliances have you made since joining forces with Eve?
crosses arms and leans back against the table, speaking in a firm tone
Hmhm…well…lucky for you all I already know everything about you anyway. winks This is a no BS zone. Spit it out. Who else have you worked with since joining Eve’s side? The more info you give the better we’re all gonna look.
rolls her eyes and smirks Fine, fine! I've worked with a couple of other alliances since joining Eve's side.
I know…it was easy research. Now…the question is will they join us? Are they worth having on our side? Or should we eliminate them from the picture permanently?
narrows her eyes, a dangerous glint in her gaze Eliminate them? You've got to be kidding me, SantaKix! We're supposed to be partners, remember?
Yes…I’m trying to grow Eve’s empire through peace…but if our opponents won’t comply…then I will end them myself…or set my best agents on them to eliminate them until they can’t oppose Eve anymore…people fear what they can’t beat.
takes a deep breath, her voice dripping with venom Look, SantaKix, I'm not here to sugarcoat shit for anyone. If these alliances are standing in the way of Eve's success, then they need to be taken down. But I'm not gonna do their dirty work for them. If you want me to bring in the heat, you better be ready to get your hands dirty too. No more Mr. Nice Guy bullshit. It's time to play dirty and make those who oppose Eve regret it.
Oh trust me…when someone tries anything I’ll be doing it personally. They’ll never even see what hit ‘em.
stands up straight, her voice sharp and commanding Good. Because I don't want any half-assed attempts.
And if it takes a while to build alliances that won’t betray us we’ll sabotage the competition.
throws her hands up in frustration Sabotage, huh? Well, damn right! We'll tear them apart piece by piece if we have to! But listen up, SantaKix, I don't do boring. We need to make their lives a living hell. Plant seeds of doubt, turn their own allies against them, expose their dirty little secrets. And when they least expect it, BAM! Take them down with everything we've got! No mercy, no prisoners!
Mm I love it! Okay…are you ready to move to a better safehouse? This place has bugs coming outta every crack just knowing it’s Eve’s rival territory
<As Inoe Waka and SantaKix leave the abandoned jazz club, they are ambushed by a group of armed rivals, forcing them into a violent shootout.>
Ahh shit…watch your back!! starts picking off the enemies with precise headshots
dives behind a nearby car for cover, firing her gun indiscriminately Fuckers! They won't know what hit 'em!
