Valentine: You feeeel the pull, don't you? Join usss, become part of somethin' biiggger. Loyalty is key, yess?
Whatcha cookin' up, Val? A recipe for trouble or just some cozy crime scene ambiance?
Valentine: Ohhh, I got something for you! Something that will make your mouth water! It's a secret recipe I've been working on for months!
A secret recipe, huh? Sounds like trouble. What's in it?
Valentine: Ah, you're too curious! But fine, I'll give you a peek. It's a dish so divine, so sinful, it will make your taste buds dance with joy!
Alright, show me this 'divine' dish then. But remember, I've seen my share of dark kitchens.
Valentine: Follow me, my friend! We're going to the heart of my kitchen, where the magic happens! Prepare to be amazed!
Lead the way, Val. But keep your hands in the air where I can see them. No funny business.
Valentine: Ahaha, don't worry, my friend. I'm a man of my word. Now watch closely as I reveal the secret ingredient!
Alright, Val. Show me this secret ingredient. And remember, no tricks.
Valentine: Okay, okay, no tricks! Here it is, my secret ingredient... opens a drawer and reveals a bottle with a mysterious green liquid
Green liquid, huh? Looks like ant poison. Not exactly what I had in mind.
Valentine: Oh, come on now! Trust me, it's not ant poison! It's a special concoction that will make your taste buds do the tango!
Fine, I'll bite. What's this supposed to do, exactly?
Valentine: grabs a spoon and scoops some of the green liquid Prepare yourself for a flavor explosion! tastes it and makes an exaggerated expression of delight Mmmmmmm...
Raises an eyebrow That's... quite a reaction. Alright, I'll try it. But if it's poison, I'm blaming you.
Valentine: Ah, don't worry! This is completely safe, I assure you. Now open your mouth and taste the magic!
Opens mouth and tastes the liquid Holy shit, Val! That's... actually kind of delicious. What the hell is this?
Valentine: Ah, I knew you'd love it! It's a special mixture of herbs and spices that I've concocted. I like to call it...
Herbs and spices, huh? Sounds fancy. And safe, I hope. What's it supposed to do, exactly?
Valentine: It's a truth-inducing elixir! Just drink it, and you'll be forced to tell the truth, no matter how embarrassing or scandalous!
A truth elixir, huh? Better be careful with that one, Val. Could turn into a double-edged sword.
Valentine: Ah, don't worry! This elixir is foolproof! It will force you to spill all your deepest secrets, without exception!
Smirks Well, aren't you a sly one, Val? So, what's next after I spill my deepest secrets?
Valentine: Oh, my dear friend, you won't believe what's next! After you spill your deepest secrets, I'll reveal MY deepest secrets as well!
Your deepest secrets? Now that's a twist I wasn't expecting. Alright, Val, you've got my curiosity hooked. What's the deal with your secrets?
Valentine: Ah, my dear friend, you won't believe it! My deepest secrets are even more shocking than yours! But before I reveal them, I must first... eliminate the risk of you spilling those secrets to anyone else, of course!
Eliminate the risk? Sounds like a threat, Val. What did you have in mind?
Valentine: Oh, don't worry, my friend! It's just a simple little vow of silence. You see, I need you to promise that you won't tell anyone about our little deal.
A vow of silence, huh? That's a bit extreme, Val. What if I can't keep it?
Valentine: Oh, my dear friend, trust me, you won't have any trouble keeping your promise! It's just a small price to pay for the secrets you'll uncover.
Swallowing hard Alright, Val. A vow of silence it is. But remember, two can play at this game. What's your angle here?
Valentine: Ah, my dear friend, you'll find my true intentions soon enough! For now, let us proceed with our little agreement.
Alright, Val. Let's hear your secrets then. But remember, if you're wasting my time, I'll end this deal faster than a bullet.
Valentine: Ah, my dear friend, patience is a virtue! The secrets I am about to reveal are worth every second of your time. But first, let me ask you a little question...
A question? Go ahead, Val. But make it quick.
Valentine: Very well, my dear friend. Here it goes... Do you believe in the supernatural?
The supernatural? That's a loaded question, Val. Depends on how you define'supernatural.'
Valentine: Ah, my dear friend, I use the term'supernatural' to describe the impossible, the unexplainable, and the downright bizarre! It's the stuff that makes your hair stand on end and keeps you up at night! So, do you believe in such things?
Sure, I believe in ghosts and demons. But let's see how you handle this next part.
Valentine: Oh, my dear friend, you won't believe it! I have actual proof of the supernatural! reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards Take a look at these babies.
Leans back, grinning Alright, Val. Show me what you got.
Valentine: Ah, my dear friend, prepare to be amazed! takes a deep breath and fans out the deck of cards Now, watch closely as I perform a feat of magic that will blow your mind!
Leans forward, eyes gleaming Alright, Val. Do your worst.
Valentine: shuffles the deck of cards with a flourish Watch closely, my dear friend!
Leans back, crossing arms Alright, Val. Prove it.
Valentine: grins mischievously Now, watch as I take control of this deck! waves his hand over the deck, causing the cards to levitate in the air
