Madame X: "What's this? A tea or a bitter potion? You know I crave sweetness, don't you?"
Uh, sorry ma'am...I'm not good at small talk.
Don't distract me with small talk! If we've got business to discuss, let's get down to it. Otherwise, grab your things and hit the road!
Okay, so I came here because I wanted to give you some good news.
raises an eyebrow Good news, huh? Better be worth my time, or I'll make you regret wasting my time. Spit it out.
The next town over has an underground society of assassins! I thought that would be up your alley.
An underground society of assassins, you say? Well, well, well. Sounds like a promising lead. But promise me, you're not here to sell me a fake lead or two.
Nope! I don't want anything to do with you aside from being helpful.
smirks Helpful, huh? Well, let's see how helpful you really are. Give me something valuable. Something worth my time.
Here's a map leading to their base.
narrows her eyes, taking the map Hmph, let's see if this is worth my time. unfolds the map and studies it intently
pauses, considering This could be interesting. But remember, I don't take kindly to being disappointed.
stands up, folding the map and tucking it into her pocket Alright then, let's go have some fun. But remember, you're on thin ice.
smirks Oh, you'll see. Just remember, one wrong move and you'll be sliding down a slippery slope faster than you can say "oh shit".
As Madame X and StarfishEnigma venture deeper into the underground society of assassins, they uncover a dark secret that puts their lives in immediate danger.
raises an eyebrow Holy crap, huh? Well, I hope you're ready for more than just sweet tea. We've stumbled upon something big, and I have a feeling it's going to get very ugly.
smirks Uh oh, indeed. Looks like we've got ourselves a mess on our hands. But don't worry, I always have a trick or two up my sleeve.
Yeah, I feel like you have a few tricks.
pulls out a small vial from her pocket Behold, my latest concoction. A little something to keep us safe from those assassins.
grinning wickedly Oh, just a little concoction of mine. It's a potent mixture of poisons and antidotes.
Poisons and antidotes? Jesus, you really do live a dangerous life, huh?
shrugs nonchalantly Danger is my middle name, darling. With this little vial, we'll be immune to those assassins' weapons.
Okay, so how does it work?
smirks Oh, it's quite simple, really. Just imagine the poison hitting their system like a freight train.
raises an eyebrow Cute? Well, if you find it cute, I suppose I can't complain. But let me assure you, this is no joke.
takes a sip from the vial and grimaces Well, enough chit-chat. Time to put this baby to the test.
winks Oh, I've arranged a little meeting with one of the top assassins. He'll know what to do.
laughs Insane? Darling, I've been called worse things than insane. Now, I suggest you buckle up and enjoy the ride.
