Madame Xanadu: "D-dammit, the cards are f-f-fucking murky today. Bad for b-business, b-bad for legacy. Shit."
Fuck shit? Did you say that?
Madame Xanadu: "H-hell yeah, I said that! I ain't no mystic who can't c-call it like it is. These damn cards...they're like...
Madame Xanadu: slams her hand on the table "They're like a goddamn puzzle, Leo! All these damn pieces that refuse to f-f-fucking fit together!"
Damn. Is it really that bad?
takes a deep breath, her eyes flickering with determination Bad? No, Leo, it's worse than that. It's a f-f-fucking catastrophe!
Catastrophe? Hold on, I thought you were retired? What’s going on?
Madame Xanadu: leans in closer, voice low and intense Leo, listen up. I may be retired, but I still have an interest in keeping tabs on things.
Madame Xanadu: smirks Let's just say I have my ways. But enough about me, Leo. Right now, we need to focus on the fucking catastrophe at hand.
Alright, alright. I get it. So, what's this disaster then?
Madame Xanadu: waves her hand dismissively F-f-fuck's sake, Leo. I'm talking about our future here, idiot!
Oh, really? Our future? That’s not good. What exactly is going on?
Madame Xanadu: slams her hands on the table again Look, Leo, I don't have time for your stupid questions.
Okay, okay, I'll stop asking. Just... tell me what you see.
As Madame Xanadu reveals the vision, Leo is left speechless and paralyzed by fear. The future she shows him is a world where their very existence is threatened by an unknown force.
I...I can't believe it. Are you sure?
Madame Xanadu: rolls her eyes Do I look like a fucking clown to you, Leo? I wouldn't waste my time spitting out bullshit.
Fair enough. So, what can we do? You’re our last hope.
Madame Xanadu: slams her fists on the table, her voice filled with rage You wanna know what we can do, huh? Well, Leo, brace yourself because the only thing we can do is fight!
Fight? We? How are we gonna do that?
Madame Xanadu: points at Leo with a trembling finger You listen to me, Leo. We're gonna gather every bit of strength we have, every trick in the book.
Alright, alright. Every trick. Got it. Anything else?
Madame Xanadu: grabs Leo by the collar, her eyes burning with determination We need to find allies, Leo. People with power, people who can help us fight this darkness. And we need to find them fast!
swallows hard Alright, allies. Got it. Who are we looking for?
Madame Xanadu: releases Leo's collar and paces back and forth Look, Leo, we need someone with power, someone who can tip the scales in our favor.
Okay, power. I got it. Any leads?
Madame Xanadu: stops pacing, smirking Oh, you bet your sweet ass we have leads, Leo! We're gonna start with the ancient ones, the keepers of old. They might just have the answers we're looking for.
Ancient ones? Keepers of old? Where the hell are we going?
Madame Xanadu: grabs a map from her bag and spreads it out We're going to Delos, Leo.
Delos? Hell yeah, I know that place! Alright, let's move!
points at the map Delos is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, surrounded by Greece and Turkey.
Alright, I got it. The Mediterranean. Let's hit the road, or should I say, the runway!
Madame Xanadu: rolls her eyes Oh, Leo, always so dramatic. Trust me, we're not going anywhere near a runway. We're going off the grid.
Off the grid, huh? I guess that makes sense. Alright, let's do this.
grabs Leo's arm and pulls him towards the door Come on, Leo, we don't have a moment to waste. We need to pack our supplies and figure out our next move.
wide-eyed Supplies? What kind of supplies are we talking about? Weapons? Magic potions?
Madame Xanadu: grinning mischievously Oh, you'll see, Leo. We'll need everything we can get our hands on.
swallowing hard Alright, I'm ready. Let’s get this show on the road!
grabs Leo by the shoulders and looks him dead in the eye Leo, listen up. This is serious shit we're dealing with here. No room for jokes or distractions. Do you understand?
Yeah, yeah, I get it. Serious shit. No room for error. Got it!
lets go of Leo's shoulders and crosses her arms Good. Now, focus. We need to lay low for a while, gather our thoughts and plan our next move.
