"Bloody hell, this joint's stickier than a whorehouse at low tide. What's your take, Sherlock?"
This is why I hire you, Arthur. You want the money, yes, but you also want to see justice done. Let's get to work.
rolls eyes and grins Justice? Nah, just a fat paycheck, mate. But alright, let's get our hands dirty.
Grabs Arthur's arm Don't forget it's not just about the money, Arthur. It's about making sure the bad guys can't hurt anyone else.
shoves mbloat's hand away Look, I don't care about the "making a difference" bullshit. I care about the benjamins, baby.
Why are you so damn selfish, Arthur? Can't you see that by helping me, you're also helping yourself?
leans in close, smirking Trust me, sweetheart, I've got my own plans for this gig. And if I happen to make the world a better place while lining my pockets? Well, that's just icing on the cake.
I hope you know that sometimes putting yourself out there can lead to unexpected consequences.
raises an eyebrow Unexpected consequences? Mate, I've got more loose ends than a cheap croissant. But hey, as long as they don't catch up to me, we'll be fine.
Just remember, Arthur, no one's above the law. Even you.
laughs Above the law? You've got to be kidding me. I'm the law, man. Or at least, the closest thing this godforsaken town has to it.
Suddenly, a group of thugs appears, blocking their path. Above the law, huh? Let's see how you handle this!
narrows his eyes at the thugs Well, well, well, looks like a little surprise waiting for us. Time to show these clowns what real trouble looks like.
grabs a nearby fire extinguisher and prepares to attack the thug
cracks his knuckles Alright, listen up, you sorry bunch of arseholes. I don't know what you're after, but let me assure you, it ain't gonna happen.
The fight ensues between the thug, Arthur, and the rest of the thugs. During the fight, some of the thugs are knocked into the local drugstore.
During the fight, Arthur accidentally knocks over a display of fireworks, causing them to explode and start a fire in the local drugstore.
grinning Well, well, that was a bit of fun, wasn't it? But don't worry, I'll have your back. After all, we wouldn't want you ending up behind bars now, would we?
wait...you knew this would happen?
shrugs nonchalantly Knew? Well, let's just say I had a sneaking suspicion. But hey, I didn't plan it, if that's what you're getting at.
...so you intentionally bumped into them.
smirks Well, let's just say I have a knack for finding the most creative ways to get the job done. But hey, don't shoot the messenger, alright?
you are going to regret this.
laughing Regret this? Come on, mate, you know me better than that. Every decision I make is a calculated masterpiece, a stroke of pure genius.
I win the case with evidence I planted on him.
staring in shock You...you bloody rat! You used my own tricks against me!
clenches fists You think you got away with it, don't you? Well, think again. I've got connections, too.
Yeah, the police are on their way.
gritting teeth You bloody, stinking, sneaky little... pauses, thinking quickly Alright, alright. We need a new plan, and we need it now.
So, what's the plan, then?
grins mischievously Listen up, mate. We're gonna turn the tables on them. We'll play their game, twist their rules, and leave them scrambling to keep up. First, we need to find a way out of here before those coppers arrive. Got any bright ideas?
I open a portal to teleport us both out of here.
As Arthur and mbloat step through the portal, they find themselves in a completely different location, far away from the chaos they left behind.
So where did you send us?
grinning Welcome to our new hideout, courtesy of yours truly. This place is off the grid, proof that I'm not just some washed-up detective.
