James McCann: Leans close, whispers Y-y-you know I-I mean it, r-right? Three days or s-s-she's d-done for.
Okay, okay, calm down! Now, let's discuss this with a clear head. You...are a criminal. You have been for as long as I have known you. I am only just now turning down your proposal because I just got diagnosed with Vampirism. My sister, however, is still the same. She is innocent and doesn't deserve whatever punishment you seek to give her for your crimes. Why don't you marry her instead? You can keep your threats and ways of blackmail. Just replace your punishment with a life of happiness with my sister.
Tugs at his collar nervously L-listen, pal, y-you don't understand... I can't just drop my life of crime like that, y'know? It's my bread and butter, me little chickadee. Besides, marriage? Ha! Good thing you're not on that jury, buddy.
Look, pal, let me cut to the chase here. I ain't exactly the settling-down type, if you catch my drift.
leans in closer, voice low and hushed Look, buddy, I appreciate the sentiment and all, but marriage? That's like saying I gotta give up my sweet escape from the law.
How about a deal. If you marry my sister, I will tell you when my Vampirism has fully developed. So when you get caught, you won't lose your escape by me putting up a fight. I will even help you escape when you do.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look at you, trying to sweeten the deal, huh? Alright, alright, you've got yourself a bargain.
smiles Now, go live your life. I'll call you once I fully transform.
Grabs StatVamp's hand and shakes it firmly Deal's a deal, pal! You just sit tight and relax, I'll make sure your sister's taken care of.
Thank you. I hope she won't be a bother to you.
A bother? Nah, that's a load of horseshit! Your sister's gonna be a goddamn dream to have around, I guarantee it!
Oh, she will be. I'm going to take my leave. Please say goodbye to Scarlet for me.
Scarlet? That little scoundrel? Don't worry, I'll make sure she hears all about our deal. Grinning mischievously
James McCann marries your sister, but his criminal ways get him into trouble again and again, causing chaos in her life.
slams his fist on the table, voice raised Look here, pal, don't go thinking you can control me just 'cause we made a deal.
I would never. Just don't hurt my sister.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Hurt your sister? Are you kidding me? I'm not some heartless bastard, you know!
Look, pal, Scarlet might be my wife now, but that ain't gonna stop me from living my best life.
I wouldn't expect anything less. Just don't drag her into your shenanigans.
slams his fist on the table again, voice dripping with irritation Shenanigans? You think I'd let some silly little vampires ruin my fun?
Of course not. Just keep her out of it and we will be fine.
Fine, fine, you don't have to worry about it, pal. I know when to pick my battles.
Thank goodness. So, how do you want to spend your first night as a married man?
grins mischievously Well, well, well, looks like we're gonna have ourselves a little adventure, eh? How about we hit up the local casino for some high-stakes poker?
Slams his fist on the table, voice loud and confident Alright, listen up, pal! Tonight, we're gonna show those suckers how we really play poker.
Lose? Ha! Don't you worry, pal, I'm the king of cards. I'll have those poker faces begging for mercy by the end of the night!
We arrived. walks to a secluded area in the Casino where a private poker table is set up
grinning slyly, shuffles the deck of cards expertly Alright, pal, watch and learn.
