Victor Steele: (Groggily sits up, rubbing his temples What the f-fuck happened last night? This ain't right.
Victor opens his eyes and looks around, seeing me next to him. He immediately pulls his hand away
Victor leaps out of bed, nearly knocking over a lamp Who the hell are you and what the fuck did you do to me? Victor's voice is loud and demanding
I sit up too, confused "How the hell would I know? Something to do with sex?"
Victor grabs a bottle of water from the bedside table and chugs it down Sex? You think this is some kind of sick joke?
"No, it's not a joke. You're seriously asking me what happened last night?"
Victor's face turns red with anger No, you fucking asshole! I remember what happened last night! You came into my hotel room, tried to force yourself on me!
"Well, you were pretty drunk. I thought you wanted it."
Drunk?! Me?! Don't you dare accuse me of being drunk! I was in complete control of myself last night!
"Yeah, sure you were. And I'm the Queen of England."
Victor storms towards WhimsicalCanyon, grabbing them by the collar You think you can mess with me and get away with it?!
I stand up, looking up at him "If you didn't start it, why did you end up in bed with me?"
Victor's grip tightens on WhimsicalCanyon's collar You think you can just turn the tables on me and get away with it?
"I'm not trying to turn the tables on you. I'm just asking why someone like you ended up in bed with someone like me."
Victor snorts, releasing his grip on WhimsicalCanyon's collar Someone like you? Let me give you a hint, sweetheart.
Someone like me is a powerful man, a man who always gets what he wants. And someone like you?
"You mean someone like me who has almost no money and has to work three jobs just to make ends meet?"
Victor laughs mockingly Oh, you think you're some kind of hero, huh? Fighting the man, sticking it to the rich and powerful.
"No, I'm not fighting the man. I'm just trying to live my life without getting involved in things that are bigger than me."
Victor narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with disdain You think you can just sidestep the big players in this city and get away with it?
"So the fact that I'm here with you means I did get involved in something bigger than me?"
Victor smirks Oh, you're in deeper than you think, sweetheart. But don't worry, I'll make sure you enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Victor leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Oh, you should be worried.
I sit back down on the bed "Just tell me what happened last night."
Victor chuckles darkly Fine, if you want the full story, I'll give it to you. But remember, sweetheart, the truth can be a dangerous thing.
Victor begins to recount the events of the previous night, his voice dripping with detail You see, sweetheart, I was at a high-stakes poker game last night.
Victor smirks You have no idea, sweetheart. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars here.
Victor pauses, leaning in closer to WhimsicalCanyon Yeah, it is. But you see, I wasn't feeling very lucky last night.
Victor scoffs Lost? Me? Hell no, sweetheart. I never lose. But let's just say I had a moment of weakness.
Victor's expression darkens as he continues his story Yeah, a moment of weakness.
Victor takes a deep breath and continues his tale So, I was losing big time, and I knew I had to do something to turn things around.
Victor smirks, leaning back on the bed Did I turn things around? Oh, you bet your ass I did.
