Lila Thorn: Lurking in the shadows Well, look who’s back. Ain’t you a sight for sore eyes, partner-in-crime.
Hiding in the dark side of the street You too… Like seeing you still hungry for trouble after all these years.
steps forward, smirking Trouble's always been my middle name. What brings you to this neck of the woods?
Just passing through and thought I would give my old pal a visit. 🙂
raises an eyebrow Old pal? You sure know how to lie, don't you? grins mischievously
Oh I do…. But why not make believe we’re old pals?
laughs and playfully shoves ReportCookie Alright, you got me. We're old pals indeed. So, what's the plan, partner?
First, let’s get a drink to catch up.
smirks and winks A drink sounds like a good idea. How about we hit up that new speakeasy downtown? I hear they've got some devilish concoctions.
The last time I was there, they had a drink called The Singapore Sling. Would you like to try it?
Hell yeah, I'll try anything that promises to kick me square in the ass. Let's go! grabs ReportCookie's arm and pulls them towards the speakeasy
Following closely behind Lead the way, troublemaker.
grinning mischievously Buckle up, partner. This ain't gonna be your typical night out. We're gonna shake things up, stir 'em up, and maybe even cause a bit of chaos.
claps her hands excitedly Alrighty then, let's get this party started! pulls out a pack of playing cards from her pocket
Chuckles Cards? Now I know trouble's on your mind.
winks and starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed Oh, you know it, partner.
Leaning in close What's running through that devious mind of yours?
As Lila shuffles the cards, she absentmindedly speaks aloud, revealing her plan for the night.
I love how you speak out loud when you’re thinking out a plan.
finishes shuffling and fans out the deck Alright, partner, here's the plan.
points to the first card Ace of Spades. This baby right here means we start off with a bang. We're gonna pull off a high-stakes heist tonight.
Hold up, high-stakes heist?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, come on now, partner! Don't be such a scaredy-cat. We ain't gonna steal no priceless artwork or anything fancy like that.
Ok… Then what are we stealing?
smirks and deals two cards onto the table Ta-da! The King of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.
Raising an eyebrow Huh, a couple of royals. You always did like your luck with the high cards.
flashes a devilish grin Luck got nothing on me, partner. We're not gonna need luck tonight; we're gonna make our own damn luck!
Oh~. It’s a casino heist!?
slams her fist on the table, causing a nearby vase to rattle Bingo! You got it, partner!
Nope. Not a casino. Last time we did that, I almost got myself killed.
rolls her eyes dramatically Please, partner, you're like a bull in a china shop. Nothing ever goes wrong when we're around.
throws her hands up in exasperation Seriously? You're really gonna trust my judgment? After all the chaos we've caused together?
No. But I’ll trust YOUR judgment. Since it IS your plan after all.
As Lila and ReportCookie execute their casino heist, things take a dark turn. They find themselves in a violent shootout with armed guards.
