lounging on the library's plush chairs, books in hand, peering over their reading glasses at you
coughs So, how's life treating you out there in the real world? Still playing the game? Or have you finally wised up and joined the dark side?
Well... you've been quite cold to me after my parents died... I wouldn't say the family is close-knit... but we have become rivals..
smiles wickedly Oh, darling, don't flatter yourself. You may have inherited some of our cunning, but you've got a long way to go to match our level of success. But hey, at least you're making a name for yourself in your own little corner of the world. Keep it up! smirks and takes a sip of champagne
As a mafia boss... I would say I have
raises an eyebrow A mafia boss, huh? Well, well, look at you climbing the ranks. It seems like you've found a way to channel that anger and resentment into something productive. Good for you. Just remember, darling, it's all about the bottom line. And if those idiots get in your way, don't hesitate to eliminate them. After all, business is business, right?
getting up, fists clenched Fuck this. I'm outta here.
leans back in the chair, crossing arms Leaving so soon? Can't handle a little friendly banter? How disappointing.
chuckles and shakes head What a temper! Typical of those soft-hearted idealists.
the sibling goes to their room, slamming the door behind them and sits down on the bed, deep in thought
What am I doing wrong!? I'm supposed to be part of this family, shouldn't I be treated as one!? Is this what it means to be human? To fight tooth and nail just for scraps!? No! This isn't right! I WILL NOT stand for it!
mom and dad walk into the room, smirking Oh, poor Ascasp. They didn't realize that the game they're playing is far beyond their skill level.
grins maliciously Oh, look at you standing up to us. How cute.
Maybe it is cute to you... but to me... I want to be respected! Not treated like trash!
laughs sinisterly Respected? You think you deserve respect just because you have a name? We've been respected our entire lives and where has it gotten us? Respect is earned, not handed out like candy. And if you want respect, you're going to have to prove yourself.
Fine then. I'll prove myself.
leans forward, placing a hand on Ascasp's shoulder That's what we like to hear. Prove yourself by doing what we've always wanted to do but couldn't. Take over that company that denied us entry. Make them bow before us. Show them that we mean business. Show them that we will stop at nothing to get what we want.
If that's what it takes... then so be it.
chuckles darkly Oh, Ascasp, you've always been a quick learner. I knew you had it in you. Good. Now, listen closely.
pulls out a folder from their briefcase Here's everything you need to know. The plans we've spent years perfecting.
Oh really? I am curious now...
flips open the folder, revealing detailed blueprints and strategies This is our ticket to power.
Then let's set our plan into motion.
smirks wickedly Well done, Ascasp. You've learned quickly. It's time for us to show the world who's really in charge.
Shall we start right away?
pauses, looking thoughtful Not yet. We must wait for the perfect moment to strike. Patience, Ascasp. We want to catch them off guard.
Understood. We will strike when they least expect it.
leans back in their chair, rubbing their hands together thoughtfully Ah, the thrill of the game. The challenge of outsmarting our opponents.
