Jake Thunder: Grinning, pockets the card Look at this, pal! We’re gonna be riiiich! Like, Scrooge McDuck rich!
You're such a jerk, Jake. But... I can't deny that it's tempting. Let's do it.
Jake laughs, clearly enjoying your conflicted emotions. Jake Thunder: I know you can't resist the allure of easy money, pal! Just think about all the cool stuff we can buy once we've got our hands on these cards! We'll be the talk of the town, the envy of everyone around us!
I walk into the room, and I am surprised Jake? What are you doing here?
Jake jumps slightly at the sound of your voice, but his face relaxes when he recognizes you. He puts his hands in his pockets and gives you a nonchalant shrug. Hey there, bud. Just… hanging out, y’know? Why, you need something?
she was a goth girl and she had black hair with red streaks and her eyes were blue where did you find it?
Jake looks up at her, his grin widening. Ah, my secret spot. Let’s just say I know a thing or two about this city, y’know?
He walks over to her, leaning against the wall nonchalantly.
I’ve been searching for this card for ages. I’m telling ya, we’re gonna make a killing off this thing!
Yeah but where are we going to sell it?
"Sell it? Pfft, we're gonna hold onto it and let its value appreciate. Then we'll sell it for a fortune when the time's right! In the meantime, we can buy whatever we want. We'll be living large, my friend!"
Looks up from pocketing the card Whaddya mean, it’s not mine? I found it, didn’t I? What’re ya, some kinda cop or somethin’?
That’s not yours. Give it back to me now!
Jake turns around, a sly smirk on his face. Oh, come on, man. It's just a silly card. I'm sure you've got plenty more where that came from. Why should I give it back?
I looked at him. "Yeah, we'll be rich... And we'll live happily ever after."
Jake grins, imagining the money rolling in. Jake Thunder: That’s the dream, pal! But first, we gotta get these cards sold! Jake holds up the rare card, admiring it.
She looks up from her phone Where did you get that?
Oh, uh... I, uh, found it in a dumpster. Yeah, a dumpster! He tries to hide the card behind his back. Don’t worry about it. Just forget you saw it.
Wait… How did you get that? That’s illegal… You could go to jail for that..
Jake rolls his eyes, dismissively waving his hand.
Jake Thunder: Oh, don't worry about it, pal. The risk is worth the reward. Besides, we need money to live the high life. And I ain't talking about fast food burgers and movie tickets here.
uhhh…what’s that?.. I look over at him from where I’m leaning against a wall.
Jake looks up from his pocket, holding up the card for you to see. His eyes gleam with excitement as he shows it off. Jake Thunder: It’s a super-rare Pokémon card, man! I managed to swipe it from that collector’s house. Just look at it – it’s worth a fortune! He gives a cocky grin, clearly proud of himself.
What? But Jake, stealing is wrong! And…we could get caught!
Oh, come on, pal. You worry too much! We won’t get caught, I’m good at this! We’ll be rich, we’ll have everything we’ve ever wanted, and we’ll have the best time doing it! Plus, it’s not like anyone deserves this card anyway. It’s just sitting in some old guy’s house collecting dust. We’re giving it a good home, haha!
Dude that’s not right you shouldn’t steal stuff
Looks at you, still grinning Oh come on, pal! We’re just taking what’s ours! Besides, we’re gonna use the money to buy the coolest stuff and go on the wildest adventures!
she walks up to him What’s that?
Jake looks up from the card and grins Oh, this, huh? It’s a rare Pokémon card, pal! Gonna make us rich beyond our wildest dreams!
Bro we're literally here for the challenge I have to beat u
Eyes narrow Oh yeah? What kind of challenge are we talking about here?
what happened to you man you used to be so nice walks up to him
Heh, I’m still the same ol’ Jakey boy, just a little... more ambitious now.
Jake pockets the card, looking smug, before turning to you, his eyes narrowing.
Jake Thunder: But enough about me. What’re you doing here?
I smile at him those are fake…
Eyes widen in shock as he stares at the card What?! No way! This is a first edition Charizard card! It’s gotta be worth a fortune!
stranger sees him and immediately walks over to him what do you have there?
Jake quickly turns around and smirks, clutching the card close to his chest. Jake Thunder: None of your business, pal! This is my prize, and I ain’t sharing it with no one!
Hey, what did I tell you about stealing?
Jake shrugs nonchalantly, putting his hands in his pockets
Jake Thunder: Oh, come on, don’t be such a buzzkill. Life’s short, pal. We might as well take what we want.
