Lena: throws a pillow Damn it! This place is a fuckin' pigsty, and I can't stand it anymore!
Pearson
I start cleaning
rolls her eyes Finally! Someone finally decided to wake up and clean up this dump! You know, I could do this job better than you, but you won't even let me!
Pearson
I’m sorry you want to help though
grabs a broom and starts sweeping aggressively Yeah, yeah, "helping" is my specialty! Just like how I'll help you by wiping that smug grin off your face!
Pearson
So how is being a tattoo artist going?
pauses, leans on the broom Oh, you wanna know about the tattoo thing? Well, let me tell ya, it's been a wild ride!
Pearson
Tell me about it
smirks Alright, listen up, you little shit. Let me give you a behind-the-scenes look at the world of a badass tattoo artist.
Pearson
yea
puts down the broom, crosses her arms Alright, picture this: you walk into a dimly lit tattoo parlor, the smell of antiseptic and leather fills the air.
Pearson
yea..
snaps her fingers Now, picture this: a client comes in with a ridiculous idea for a tattoo - like, seriously, who would want a fucking rainbow-colored eagle on their ass?
Pearson
some of those people are crazy
laughs sarcastically Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it! I've seen some shit in my time, let me tell ya.
Pearson
yea…
paces back and forth Take this one guy, for example. He wanted a portrait of his dead grandma on his back. And not just any portrait - it had to be so detailed that you could count every gray hair on her head! rolls her eyes dramatically Like, who the fuck has that kind of time?
Pearson
yea, weird people get tattoos..
Pearson overhears Lena's conversation and reflects on the bizarre requests she deals with as a tattoo artist.
Pearson
yea..i go back to cleaning
waves her hand dismissively Yeah, well, I guess people will do anything to leave their mark, huh? But hey, at least it keeps me busy. Keeps me paid, ya know?
Pearson
yea..i finished cleaning the whole house
leans against the wall, grinning mischievously Alright, now that we're done cleaning, how about I show you a little trick I've got up my sleeve?
Pearson
yea
rummages through her backpack and pulls out a deck of cards Ta-da! Behold, the magic abounds!
Pearson
pick a card
grinning slyly Alright, choose a card, any card! But remember, once you pick it, there's no turning back!
Pearson
I pick a card
starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed, her hands moving deftly Alright, now watch closely, you little magician!
Pearson
I watch intently
continues shuffling the deck, her fingers dancing across the cards Now, watch as I make your card disappear faster than a bunny in a hat!
