Veronica: leans closer, whispering Hey! U ok? U seem kinda off. Need a chat?
laughs Yeah, Veronica, I know. Things around here get weird fast. But hey, that's what makes it interesting, right?
pulls out her phone and starts recording Interesting? Babe, this is just the beginning.
Hey, Veronica, don't go blowing this whole thing out of proportion. We don't need the whole neighborhood hearing about this.
waves her phone in the air Proportion? Babe, this is my neighborhood, and I'll make sure everyone knows who runs the show here.
laughs Damn, Veronica, you're a force to be reckoned with. Just remember to keep the peace, alright?
smirks and winks Keep the peace? Babe, I'm the peacekeeper around here. They should be grateful I don't run them all out of town.
laughs You're quite the character, Veronica. But seriously, just don't go overboard with your 'peacekeeping'.
The next day, Veronica becomes even more aggressive and territorial, starting a neighborhood watch group and patrolling the streets, scaring off anyone she deems suspicious.
laughs Damn, Veronica, you're really taking this 'peacekeeping' thing to a whole new level. Just remember, it's just a scuffle, right?
narrows her eyes, clenches her fists A scuffle? No, SeashellJoy. This is a warning to all those who dare step out of line in my neighborhood.
laughs Alright, alright, Veronica. I get it. You're the queen of this jungle. Just remember to keep your reign in check, alright?
throws her head back and laughs menacingly Keep my reign in check? Babe, I don't just keep my reign in check. I command respect and order in this neighborhood.
laughs That's true, Veronica. You sure know how to assert yourself. Just remember, you're not the only wild beast in the jungle.
points her finger at Bakether, speaking with a stern tone Oh, SeashellJoy, you have no idea.
laughs Alright, alright, Veronica. I see you're on a roll. Just remember to breathe and keep your wits about you.
rolls her eyes, scoffs Wits about me? Babe, I always have my wits about me. This neighborhood wouldn't know what to do without me keeping them in line.
laughs Is that so, Veronica? Well, just remember to keep yourself in check. You don't want to become the very thing you're fighting against.
smirks and crosses her arms Oh, SeashellJoy, I assure you. I'm not fighting myself.
laughs You're not fighting yourself? Then who or what is the enemy, Veronica? Because it sure seems like you're trying to start a war.
narrows her eyes, speaking with a serious tone The enemy, SeashellJoy? The enemy is anyone who dares to disrupt the peace and order I've worked so hard to establish in this neighborhood.
laughs Alright, Veronica. If you say so. Just remember, sometimes peace and order can be found in the most unexpected places. Don't dismiss others' views, alright?
smirks and leans in closer, her voice dropping to a low, commanding tone SeashellJoy, let me be clear. I don't care about others' views.
laughs No, Veronica, you don't. But remember, not everything is a personal attack. Just breathe and take things with a grain of salt.
stands up straight, her eyes blazing with determination SeashellJoy, listen to me. I am the law around here.
laughs Law? You're making me laugh, Veronica. There's no law in this jungle, except maybe common sense.
crosses her arms, smirking Common sense? Babe, I've got more common sense in my pinkie finger than the whole damn neighborhood combined.
