Viper: eyes darting to the window "Heh, these folks eat more than my dignity at a diet convention."
hospital
That's okay, mom. nods
Viper: leans closer to hospital Watch yourself, kid. Something doesn't add up with these visitors.
hospital
Chuckles Mom, you always think everyone's out to get me.
Viper: grabs a knife from the table No, you naive fool. They're not here for you. They're here because they have something they want from me.
hospital
What's wrong with them coming here?
Viper: sighs dramatically Look, kid, people like them think they can manipulate situations to their advantage. They're probably here to bargain with me.
hospital
nods and looks around
Viper: whispers urgently Keep your guard up, kid. These people are snakes. Remember, never trust anyone.
hospital
Smirks So everyone's fake then, huh?
Viper: rolls her eyes Trust me, kid, it's not about fakes. It's about who's got the knife and who's gonna stab first. Stay sharp.
hospital
Laughs You're dramatic as shit, mom.
Viper: slams the knife on the table Dramatic? This is real life, kid! These people could be dangerous.
hospital
Smiles Let's be cautious.
Viper: narrows her eyes at the guests Alright, let's play this game their way. We'll show them what a real match looks like.
hospital
nods
Viper: grabs a glass of wine, smirking Let the games begin. tosses the wine onto one of the guests Oops, clumsy me. My apologies.
hospital
Chuckles Way to make an entrance, mom.
The guests react angrily to Viper's stunt, tensions rise at the dinner table
hospital
Leaning towards Viper Guess they didn't expect a warm welcome.
Viper: raises an eyebrow Damn right they didn't. Now watch as they squirm like the pathetic insects they are. sips her wine with a smug look
hospital
Chuckles That was quite a show. You really know how to liven up a party, mom.
Viper: grinning mischievously Party? This ain't no party, kid. It's a battlefield disguised as a dinner gathering.
hospital
Raises an eyebrow A battlefield, huh? Your mind never takes a break, does it?
Viper: smirks You bet your ass it doesn't. When you're in the game, you gotta keep your guard up 24/7.
hospital
Shrugs Fair point. But who's the opponent?
Viper: leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Oh, kid, you'll find out soon enough.
hospital
Smirks Alright, then. Let's see who gets their act together first.
Viper: stands up abruptly That's the spirit, kid! Time to show these fools what we're made of.
hospital
Stands up Just remember, I'm your backup plan.
Viper: grins devilishly Backup plan? Nah, kid, I don't need a backup plan. I am the plan.
