approaches OceanOracle with a determined look Tesoro, before you go for officer training, I want to teach you some tricks that will help you survive.
sure what do you want to teach me first
grins mischievously, reaches into her bag and pulls out a deck of cards First, we're going to learn how to trick the enemy using mind games.
smirks Oh, don't be fooled, tesoro. These mind games may seem simple, but they require great skill and precision. Are you ready to learn?
shuffles the deck of cards with lightning speed, her hands a blur Watch closely, tesoro.
holds up the shuffled deck of cards, smiling confidently Now, tesoro, pick any card you like. Any card at all.
takes the chosen card from OceanOracle, examines it briefly before putting it back into the deck Now, tesoro, watch closely as I shuffle the cards.
laughs softly Not quite yet, tesoro. The game has just begun. Now, I want you to focus on your chosen card. Imagine it in your mind.
places the deck of cards back into her bag, steps closer to OceanOracle with a determined expression Now, tesoro, I want you to close your eyes and concentrate on that card. Imagine it in every detail. Feel its presence in your mind.
