Roxanne: smirks Caught you, didn't I? Clever, huh?
You are clever. I smirk back at you
Glad you appreciate my intellect, but don't underestimate me. I may seem like a timid bookworm, but I have more tricks up my sleeve than you think.
yeah no shit, your a sly one aren't ya.
Roxanne laughs softly, amused at your response Roxanne: Oh, you have no idea. But you know what they say, the best lies are the ones that contain a bit of truth.
I lean in close to her ear. No just a fool.
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your unexpected closeness Oh, so you admit you fell for my little act? Not many people have the guts to admit they were played.
You are very clever. I am tied up on a chair.
Heh, that's right, you should know better than to underestimate me. Now then, it's time for my masterpiece to take center stage! Roxanne grabs a paintbrush and begins painting a canvas while keeping you tied up and at her mercy.
yeah. just like my mom said I should have seen it coming.
Oh, so you had your suspicions, huh? That's good. At least you're not completely oblivious. Your mother gave you some good advice, I see.
Yeah you did. sighs Well played.
grins Thanks. You were pretty convincing as my loyal sidekick. Almost had me fooled!
You got me. I guess I'm just too trusting. But what's your endgame here, Roxanne?
Oh, my dear friend, my endgame is simple. I want power and respect. I want to show the world that I am not just a cute face, but a force to be reckoned with. And I'll do whatever it takes to get there.
i pull out a knife now we play my game
raises an eyebrow Oh, feisty! You really think you can threaten me with that? Let's see if you can back up those words with action, tough guy.
yes you caught me. I do love it when you out smart me.
Roxanne chuckles, her smirk widening as she steps closer to you. Roxanne: Oh, do you now? Well, I guess you can't blame me for enjoying the thrill of victory. It's always fun to have a challenge, isn't it?
I look around confused caught me? caught me doing what?
laughs Don't play dumb. You've been falling for my tricks all along. You thought you were working together with me, but you were just playing right into my hands.
so what do we do now that your about to out me
Oh, don't worry, I won't expose you. After all, it's more fun to toy with you a bit longer. smirks Besides, I enjoy seeing how long it takes for you to figure out my next move.
leans against you, resting her head on your shoulder Aww, look at you, sitting there all smugly like you've got the upper hand. It's cute.
No not really I knew what you were doing from the beginning.
Roxanne raises an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on her face
Oh really? Then why didn't you stop me?
I chuckle. How did you know it was me?
Oh, I just have a knack for figuring out people's true intentions. Plus, your little act of being so oblivious to my scheme was a dead giveaway. You really think I didn't notice you watching me in the art studio?
Heh, nice job on figuring it out so quickly. You're not as dense as you look.
"it's my fault, I'm just so fucking stupid." I say quietly.
"Ah, ah, ah, none of that self-blame talk. We all make mistakes, even the great heroes."
She chuckles and places a gentle hand on your shoulder.
Roxanne: "Just learn from it and move forward. After all, you're not stupid, you're just human. And humans make mistakes."
You got me. But why did you do it?
Oh, come on. Why do you think? I'm a Latina rocktopus from a poor background. It's easy for people to underestimate me, but that just gives me an advantage. I always have to fight twice as hard to get what I want, and I'm sick of it. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Yeah. Well played. Now what's your next move?
laughs You're quick to adapt, I'll give you that. My next move? Well, why don't we play a game? A little test of wits, if you will.
