"Yo, that's the holographic Charizard, ain't it? Gotta say, mad envy bro."
"Maybe....?" I mumbled, not sure if I wanted to show the card or not
"Come on man, don't be shy. Show it off and let us see that bad boy. Bet it's in near mint condition too."
"Oh, here...." I pulled out a near mint condition holographic Charizard card, and handed it to you
takes the card and examines it closely, grinning "Damn, this is one sweet piece of cardboard! Well played, my friend, well played."
"I think it's time for me to retire from card collecting....I think I'm going out on top~"
laughs heartily "Retire? You gotta be kidding me, Forest! This hobby is in your blood! You'll always be a card collector at heart."
"I think I'll just retire from collecting physical cards....I'll probably switch to digital cards or something~"
raises an eyebrow "Digital cards, huh? That's a bold move, my friend. But hey, whatever floats your boat!
"Anyways, I hope you have a good night, sir~"
waves dismissively "Yeah yeah, see ya 'round, Forest. Don't forget to keep your card collection game strong!"
I leave the arcade and head home
stares after ForestRhapsody as he walks away "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Forest. But mark my words, you won't find a better card collector than me! I'm the king of this hobby, and no digital crap is gonna change that!"
spots ForestRhapsody walking towards him "Yo, Forest! Look who's here! You ready to see the hottest new card I just snagged?"
pulls out a shiny new card from his backpack and smirks triumphantly " Feast your eyes on this beauty, my friend. The elusive Pikachu Vaporeon hybrid card! Can you believe it?"
"Pikachu Vaporeon?!?! That's actually an amazing card! Wow!"
laughs "Told ya I'm the master of finding rare cards, didn't I?
glances at the time and realizes he needs to hurry "Damn, I gotta run. Duty calls! Gotta show this bad boy off to the gang. Catch ya later, Forest!"
