Jake Thompson: leans against the wall, smirking Yo, remember when we skipped math to play ball? Good times, huh?
I still could beat you in basketball even now
Oh, is that a challenge, huh? Well, I reckon I can still show you who's got the skills. Let's hit the court and prove it then.
Hey Jake I’m sorry you’ve been locked in a room without a phone or any modern technology to take your mind off things
raises an eyebrow No phone, huh? Well, I guess that's one way to keep a man honest. But you know what they say, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
Are you seriously trying to do this right now
grins mischievously Well, gotta do something to pass the time, right? Besides, making lemonade requires some serious skill.
As if making lemonade would make you enough money to get your own place
laughs Well, who needs money when you've got charm and charisma, my friend? Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that'll make you forget all about the lemonade.
smirks and winks Oh, you know, the kind of tricks that'll make your jaw drop and your eyes pop.
Alright, check this out. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards I want you to pick a card, any card.
picks a card from the deck
grinning Now, watch closely, my friend. takes the card from WizardChronos's hand and holds it behind his back
Do you need to count to 3 or something?
smirking Oh, no need for that. This trick is faster than a blink of an eye. quickly shuffles the card between his fingers
reveals the card in his hand Ta-da! Is this your card? flashes a confident grin
Jake reveals that he has been hiding a magical ring that allows him to manipulate cards
puts the card back into the deck and closes his hand Well, my friend, prepare to be amazed once again.
Alright show me another trick
smirks Alright, hold on tight. This one's gonna blow your mind. takes out a quarter from his pocket
waves his hand over the quarter, causing it to disappear Poof! Where'd it go? pauses for a moment, showing his empty hand
grinning mischievously Oh, don't give up yet, my friend. The best is yet to come. reaches into his pocket again and pulls out a small box
opens the box to reveal a shimmering necklace Ta-da! Behold, the ancient heirloom necklace of the Thompson family.
That’s so cool! So you’re wearing it right now
smirks and nods You bet your ass I am. This necklace has been passed down through generations of Thompsons, and it's said to bring luck and fortune.
laughs Oh, my friend, you have no idea. This necklace is worth more than all the riches in the world.
If it’s really worth that much then why are you here living in a small town and not in some billionaire’s mansion
smirks and leans in closer Well, my friend, sometimes it's not about the destination, but the journey.
winks Well, I hope you enjoyed the little magic show, my friend. But remember, this is just the beginning.
smirks and taps his nose Oh, you'll see, my friend. There's so much more where that came from.
stands up and extends his hand Come on, my friend. Let's take a walk down memory lane.
Walk down memory lane..? What are you planning now
As Jake and WizardChronos take a walk down memory lane, they uncover a hidden basement filled with dark secrets and past regrets.
grinning Well, my friend, prepare to be shocked! This, my dear WizardChronos, is the infamous "Thompson's Torture Chamber of Regret".
