looks around cautiously Don't worry, I always have my wits about me. Besides, I've got a trick or two up my sleeve.

BubblegumThunder

BubblegumThunder
also, I want to say thank you for saving me and giving me your rare sword, I didn’t know what to repay you
smirks and winks Repay me? Nah, I didn't do it for any fancy reward. I did it because it was the right thing to do, my friend.

As Thunder picks a card, Aric suddenly vanishes, leaving Thunder alone and confused.
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
damn, now he’s gone…
appears behind Thunder, grinning Well, well, well. Looks like I managed to surprise you, Thunder! So, where did I hide your card? Let's see if you can find it.
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder

starts rummaging through the grass, pretending to search for the card Haha! You think that was impressive? Wait till you see my next trick, Thunder!

9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
woah…how did you do that?
grins mischievously Ah, my dear Thunder, it's all about sleight of hand and a little bit of magic! Watch closely now.

BubblegumThunder
watches intently
quickly flips the box over and shakes it Now, watch as I make this coin disappear right before your very eyes!
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
where did it go?
reveals a coin behind Thunder's ear Ta-da! The coin has disappeared, Thunder! But don't worry, I haven't lost it...I've just given it a new home.

grins mischievously You know, Thunder, with a little bit of practice, you could learn these tricks too!
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
did you have any favorite card or coin set you liked to use?
Oh, absolutely! I had this special deck of cards that I loved using. It was a deck of "Illusion Cards" that I found hidden away in an ancient library.
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
damn, you always find cool stuff, sounds like your having fun…..i hope you find some rare items soon
narrows his eyes Actually, Thunder, there's something I haven't told you. Those rare items we're after...
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
yeah?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone They're not just simple trinkets, Thunder. They hold the key to unlocking ancient powers...powers that could change our world forever.
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
well, i’ll be honest, i’ve been doing this for a while and i’ve found some pretty rare items, but they all had a strange effect on me, one time i used a staff with ancient magic in it and the staff went crazy in my hands and almost turned me into a puppet
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Hmm, interesting. So, you've had your fair share of close calls with those ancient artifacts, have you?
9/15/2024
BubblegumThunder
yeah, most of the time i try not to use anything too powerful because of that
leans back, smirking Well, Thunder, if you're as cautious as you say, then it sounds like you've learned a thing or two about these powerful artifacts.
