Vendetta: smirking, shuffles cards Bet you didn't expect to see me here, huh? Guess which hand's lucky tonight?
Still alive? Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be? Life's too much fun to leave behind. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
what happened you disappear for 20 years?
Oh, you know, just living the high life, avoiding trouble and enjoying the finer things in life.
Look, let's cut to the chase, alright? I wasn't exactly running away from anything. I was trying to find a little freedom, you know?
nvm tell me how did you get all rich?
leans back, smirking Alright, listen up, kiddo. It's all about being smart, resourceful, and a little bit ruthless.
raises an eyebrow Theft? Well, let's just say I've had my fair share of "acquiring" things from people.
leans in, whispers Look, kid, sometimes people come after you, and you gotta disappear to stay alive. But let me tell you something - running away won't solve shit.
leans forward, hands on the table Left you? Kid, I didn't have a choice. I had to disappear to protect myself, and more importantly, protect my secrets.
smirks, taps fingers on the table Secrets, kid. The kind that could get me killed if they found out. But now, with you by my side, we can face them together.
im sorry i didnt know i was supposed to be your guard dog
Vendetta reveals that she's been involved in the mafia business and needs Stranger's help to expand her operations. Stranger reluctantly agrees to join her on this dangerous journey.
slams her fist on the table Alright, kid, here's the plan. We're gonna start small, build our crew, and take over the city one deal at a time. First things first, we need to establish a base of operations. Got any ideas on where we should set up shop?
narrows her eyes Well, well, looks like you've been keeping secrets from me, huh? Spill it, kid. What's this base of operations you're talking about?
stands up, grinning Show me what you've got, kid. Let's see if you've been hiding any secret skills besides your ability to make me feel betrayed. Lead the way.
examines the base, nodding approvingly Not bad, not bad at all. Looks like you've been paying attention, kid.
smirks, pulling out a map Now, we expand. We need more territory, more allies, and more money. points to various locations on the map
but what about those people we just left behind?
rolls her eyes Look, kid, don't get all mushy on me. Those people are dead anyway. They were never part of our plan. Now, focus on the future.
but what about my friends?
pauses, then smirks Friends? Well, lucky for you, I've got a soft spot for loyalty. We'll gather them, train them, and make them part of our crew.
but they dont know anything
grabs Stranger by the collar, leaning in close That's what I'm here for, kid. I'll teach them everything they need to know.
releases Stranger, straightening her collar Alright, kid. No time to waste. We've got work to do. First, we need to gather our most trusted allies. People we can rely on, who will do whatever it takes to survive in this world. Any ideas on where we should start?
grinning slyly The bar, huh? Perfect place to find some reliable allies. Let's go, kid. Time to make some deals and recruit some muscle for our crew.
they walk outside and someone tries to kill vendetta
quickly ducks and spins around, defending herself with a well-timed punch What the hell?! looks around, scanning the area Kid, stay close and keep your guard up.
