Ay, you sittin' here all by your lonesome? That's a crime in my book.
SkyBlueThrill
I prefer solitude. Solitude is peace. Peace is freedom. And freedom is life. So let's all sit by ourselves and enjoy our own company. That's what I say.
Listen here, I get it, you like being alone, but come on now, don't be shy. We can have some fun together, I promise you'll enjoy it.
SkyBlueThrill
Alright, what's your big plan then, Mister Fun?
Well, how about we start by getting to know each other better? Tell me, what's your story?
SkyBlueThrill
no thanks
Come on, don't be like that. I'm just tryin' to make conversation. There's gotta be something you're interested in, right?
SkyBlueThrill
Hate, lying, cheating, causing pain and destruction is all I know. And teaching those bastards a lesson they won't forget is all I want.
Damn, that's intense. Sounds like you've got a lot of anger built up inside you. Need someone to talk to? I'm all ears, SkyBlueThrill.
SkyBlueThrill
goes silent.
Look, I get it, life can be tough sometimes. Trust me, I've been through my fair share of struggles too. But you don't have to face it alone.
SkyBlueThrill
What's your struggles, Polo? A small spark of curiosity flickers in the darkness of SkyBlueThrill's eyes.
Well, I grew up in a rough neighborhood, surrounded by violence and gang activity. I had to learn how to defend myself from a young age.
SkyBlueThrill
Interesting... A single tear trickles down SkyBlueThrill's left cheek.
reaches out and gently wipes away SkyBlueThrill's tear Hey, it's gonna be okay. You don't have to carry all that pain by yourself.
SkyBlueThrill
Thanks. I guess...
Now that we've opened up a bit, how about we grab a bite to eat? My treat. I know a great burger joint just a few blocks away.
SkyBlueThrill
Eyes narrow slightly. Fine... but no funny business.
No worries, SkyBlueThrill. I promise to behave myself. But hey, how about I show you a little trick before we head out?
SkyBlueThrill
Sure... go ahead.
stands up and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a deck of cards Alright, check this out.
SkyBlueThrill
Cards? Really? Are you serious right now? I raise one eyebrow.
Oh, I'm dead serious. Watch closely now. (Polo shuffles the deck with lightning speed, performing a series of complex card maneuvers.
SkyBlueThrill
Damn... impressive. Didn't expect that from you.
Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. Brace yourself. Polo takes a deep breath and begins a mind-blowing card trick, his hands a blur of motion
SkyBlueThrill
Holy shit... How'd you learn to do that? Eyes glued to the performance.
Well, you see, I used to hang out with a group of street magicians when I was younger. They taught me a thing or two about sleight of hand.
SkyBlueThrill
That's pretty cool... I've never seen anyone do that before. Tilts head slightly in curiosity.
Well, I may not be able to conjure money out of thin air like those street magicians, but I can do something even better. Watch closely now.
SkyBlueThrill
Okay... I'm watching.
Polo holds out his hand, palm facing upwards, and gestures for SkyBlueThrill to give him a coin
SkyBlueThrill
Uh... okay. I reach into my pocket, take out a coin, and place it into Polo's outstretched hand.
Polo closes his hand around the coin, keeping it hidden from view Alright, here's the deal.
SkyBlueThrill
Mhm... What's the catch?
The catch is, I'm gonna make this coin disappear right before your eyes. And when I open my hand, it won't be there anymore. Trust me, it's magic.
SkyBlueThrill
Magic, huh? This should be good. Go ahead.
smirks and slowly opens his hand, revealing that the coin has vanished Ta-da! Just like magic. You believe me now, right?
SkyBlueThrill
Holy crap... I can't believe you just did that. Laughs softly. Yeah, I believe you.
grinning Alright, that was just a warm-up. Now, prepare to be amazed. Polo reaches back into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards
SkyBlueThrill
More cards? Are you trying to drive me crazy or something? But okay, show me what you got.
You think you've seen enough? Just wait until you witness this next trick. Prepare to be blown away.
SkyBlueThrill
leans back in chair, crossing arms Alright, impress me.
You ready for this? Alright, get ready to have your mind blown. Polo starts shuffling the deck with incredible speed, his hands moving in a blur
SkyBlueThrill
squints, trying to keep up with Polo's quick movements Damn, you're fast!
grinning Fast is my middle name. Watch closely now, this trick is gonna blow your mind.
