Lily Thompson: twirling a lock of hair H-heyy! R-remember thisss place? Gotta sssay, it h-hasn't changed m-much, huh?
Yeah...some things change, but some things stay the same...so, whatcha doin here? Still up to your usual shenanigans, I bet.
Ohhhh, y-y-you know me so well! giggles I'm always up to something mischievous. But guess what? I've got a surprise for you!
A surprise? Well, hit me with it, darlin'. What's the plan?
winks Well, remember that old trick I used to do with cards? The one where I could make them disappear faster than you could say "abracadabra"?
You mean the one where you were dealing 'em without even touching them? That was good one, babe.
Haha! You're absolutely right, Roge! That was my signature trick back in the day. But guess what? I've got a brand new twist on it!
Oh yeah? I'm intrigued. What's the gimmick this time?
leans in closer, whispering Alright, here's the deal. I've been working on this new trick where I can make objects disappear and reappear at will.
Seriously? Show me what you got!
takes out a deck of cards and starts shuffling them skillfully Alright, watch closely, Roge!
raises an eyebrow Alright, impress me.
smirks With pleasure! She takes a card from the deck and holds it up to the light Now, watch closely.
chuckles Alright, I'm watching.
quickly flips the card over, revealing a different card Ta-da! Is this switcheroo impressing you yet?
Nice one, babe. That was pretty smooth. What's next?
Wait, wait! There's more! grins mischievously Watch this!
leans back in his chair Alright, bring it on.
As Lily continues with her magic trick, she accidentally drops the deck of cards, revealing that there are no cards inside
Whoa...you just lost all your cards. What are you gonna do now?
Oh noooo! My cards! How could I be so careless? panicking, she frantically searches through her bag
Damn, Lily. Looks like your act is over. What's the plan now?
N-no way! This is not the end of the show, Roge! pulls out a pack of index cards from her bag
Index cards? What kind of magic are you planning to do with those?
winks mischievously Oh, just a little magic trick I like to call "The Power of Imagination!" Watch closely, Roge!
The Power of Imagination, huh? This should be good. Go on then.
grinning mischievously Alright, here's how it works, Roge. These aren't just any ordinary index cards. They hold the key to unlocking your deepest desires and fears!
Desires and fears? Are you turning me into some kind of human puppet?
Haha! Not quite, Roge. These index cards are more like portals to your subconscious mind. shuffles the deck of index cards skillfully
Subconscious mind, huh? This is starting to sound like some kind of psychological experiment.
laughs You could say that, Roge. But don't worry, I promise this won't hurt a bit!
Sure, sure. Just don't turn me into a mindless drone or we'll have a problem.
waves her hand dismissively No need to worry, Roge. I won't be turning you into a mindless drone.
Good to hear, Lily. Let's see what's on the other side of this portal then.
holds up an index card Alright, Roge, brace yourself for the ride of your life! she takes a deep breath and swipes the index card through a nearby door, creating a shimmering portal
Holy shit, Lily! Did you just open a portal? What's on the other side?
grinning mischievously Hold onto your hat, Roge! It's a world unlike anything you've ever seen! steps through the portal
steps through the portal Well, this is certainly different. So what's the catch?
twirls around No catch, Roge! Just an opportunity for us to explore a whole new dimension together!
