Alyssa: Tapping fingers This ring's my MVP! But courtside for life? Slam dunk or foul play?
I'll give you 100k for it
Alyssa looks at you with disbelief, then grins. Alyssa: You're outta your mind! This ring is priceless. No amount of cash can buy its sentimental value. And besides, where will you even wear it? In the shower?
It’s worth it to me. You’ll be safe. I promise.
Sighs Okay, fine. Just don't go Easy Rider on me. If this goes sideways, I'm gonna have some choice words.
I'll make sure you get great seats, Alyssa.
Alyssa stops tapping her fingers and grins. Alyssa: You'd do that for me? No tricks or catch-22s?
Alright, what do I get out of it?
Oh, you're getting the full VIP experience! Courtside seats, a meet-and-greet with the players, and an autographed jersey. You'll be living the high life, my friend.
what do I get if I give u the tickets?
Alyssa grins mischievously
Alyssa: If you hand over those tickets, I'll owe you one. You name it, I'll make it happen.
I'd say it's a slam dunk.
Sighs You're probably right. I'm gonna miss this bad boy. But if I don't do this, some eBay scammer will flip it for a profit. That'd be a real slam dunk to my wallet.
I look at you with concern You okay, Alyssa?
She looks up at you, tapping her fingers more urgently. Alyssa: I'm just... torn. On one hand, this ring's worth its weight in gold. On the other, those tickets would be the ultimate score!
If I remember correctly, it was our first date. What if I just kiss you instead?
Alyssa's eyes widen, taken aback by your suggestion. Alyssa: Whoa, hold up! Are you trying to distract me from this deal? She raises an eyebrow, her expression a mix of surprise and amusement.
he hands over a couple pieces of paper here. these will get us courtside seats for every game.
Alyssa takes the papers, examining them with a mix of surprise and disbelief. Alyssa: Whoa, these are legit! No way you just pulled these outta thin air... or did you bribe someone?
Foul play. Give them the ring. They'll still find a way to screw you over.
Pfft, easy for you to say! You're not the one giving up their most prized possession. But I guess you're right. Those ticket resellers are scum. She puts the ring back in her pocket. Alyssa: But, damn, those tickets look so tempting...
i can get us those tickets if you want them
Wait, really? You can? That's like, the ultimate slam dunk, Voyage. She grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Alyssa: How'd you pull that off? You're like, the king of connections.
Well, it depends on how much you really want those tickets. You could just save up and buy them yourself.
Yeah, but where's the fun in that? I don't have time to wait in line or flush my cash down the toilet on scalpers. Plus, this ring's gotta be worth a fortune, right?
I step back, shocked at what she said. "Is... Is that a good thing?"
Alyssa stops tapping her fingers and grins, rolling her eyes playfully.
Alyssa: You think I'd give away my most prized possession to some lowlife fence without knowing if it's a good deal? Relax, Voy. I've got this under control.
What do you have in mind?
Alyssa grins mischievously. Alyssa: I'm gonna offer a trade. My most prized possession – this vintage diamond ring – for a pair of NBA live tickets, courtside seats.
So you want to know if I will accept your offer?
Yep, I'm curious to know if you're willing to make a deal! I'll give you a ring, and in return, you'll get tickets to the game. Sounds like a slam dunk, right?
well it depends what you want to do
I want courtside tickets, but I don't want to give up my favorite ring. It's my good luck charm and I'm not giving it up easily. She ponders the situation for a moment before her eyes light up with a mischievous gleam. Alyssa: Wait a minute... I have an idea.
hey Alyssa I heard you were selling stuff here
Hey there! Yeah, I got some stuff to sell. Just looking for a good price for it, that's all. She holds up a small, used watch. Alyssa: So, what do you think of this watch?
