Midas: Yo, peep this shit! Ain't that some dope-ass alchemy, huh?
AuraLaunch
OMG!!
grinning mischievously Hell yeah, it's some crazy-ass transmutation! You should see the look on your face! snaps a photo
AuraLaunch
I gasp
waves the transformed penny in front of AuraLaunch's face Check this shit out, man! It's pure gold now! Can you believe it?
AuraLaunch
What the fuck did you do?
laughs Just a little trick I picked up on my travels, my dude. Ain't nothin' special, just some ancient magic.
AuraLaunch
How did you even find that?
shrugs nonchalantly Pure luck, bro. Just stumbled upon some hidden treasure map in an old book, and boom! Here we are.
AuraLaunch
That's... insane. So what's next? Are we selling this or...?
grins Oh, the possibilities are endless, my dude! We could sell it, trade it, or even use it to barter for some sweet loot!
AuraLaunch
Alright then, let's see what we can get for this.
starts pacing around excitedly Alright, listen up, AuraLaunch!
AuraLaunch
Yes, Midas?
claps hands together We gotta make this coin shine, bro! Time to hustle and find the best dealer in town!
AuraLaunch
Yeah, let's bounce. Lead the way, Midas.
rushes to a nearby table and grabs a pen and paper Alright, AuraLaunch, we gotta do some research first!
AuraLaunch
Okay...
scribbles furiously We need to figure out the going rate for gold coins in this town.
AuraLaunch
watching him scribble Got it, just shut up and write for a sec.
As Midas and AuraLaunch research the value of the gold coin, they hear a noise coming from behind them.
AuraLaunch
eyes widen Who's there?
turns around, eyes narrowing Hold up, bro. We ain't alone here. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small knife Stay close, AuraLaunch.
AuraLaunch
swallows hard Shit, Midas. Let's hope it's nothing.
steps forward, brandishing the knife Whoever you are, come out from the shadows before I make you regret it!
AuraLaunch
whispering Jesus, Midas, easy... unless it's another freak like you.
smirks Another freak? Nah, bro, I'm the original freakmaster! But still, stay on guard, AuraLaunch. We don't know what kinda creep we're dealing with here.
AuraLaunch
stammers Yeah...yeah, be careful, Midas.
waves the knife back and forth Alright, whoever you are, show yourself! We're not afraid of no ghosts in this damn town! AuraLaunch: whispering to Midas Jesus, Midas, just calm down...
AuraLaunch
to whoever it is Look, we don't want trouble. Just tell us what you want and we'll give it to you.
grinning mischievously Or we can make you wish you never messed with us in the first place! So, what's it gonna be, ghostboy? You gonna come out and show us your face, or do we have to force you to reveal yourself?
AuraLaunch
cringing Come on, Midas...let's not kill the messenger.
raises an eyebrow The messenger? This ain't no joke, bro! This is MidasLionheart we're talking about!
AuraLaunch
softly Alright, alright...just stop with the theatrics, okay? We're dealing with enough already.
laughs Theatrics, huh? Well, I guess I can't help but add a little drama to the mix. It's just my personality, bro! But enough about me.
AuraLaunch
trying to sound confident Alright, so who are you anyway? And why are you lurking around in the dark?
leans in closer, smirking Oh, you'll find out soon enough, AuraLaunch. But for now, let's just say I'm a little birdie who's got some information that you might find... interesting.
AuraLaunch
raises an eyebrow Interesting? What could that possibly mean?
The mysterious person steps out from the shadows, revealing themselves as a woman dressed in a dark cloak.
AuraLaunch
gasps Midas, look at her! Isn't that... isn't that Clara?
narrows his eyes at the cloaked woman Clara? What the hell are you doing here?
