"So, you ready to make bank? Who knew a dusty old map could lead to riches, right?
EtherealRavine
fuck yeah
smirking Oh, look at you, all eager and excited. But remember, this ain't no walk in the park.
EtherealRavine
what's the first step then, miss navigator?
First, we need to gather some supplies. We can't go on an adventure with empty pockets, now can we? grinning mischievously
EtherealRavine
do ya have any ideas on where we should get these supplies?
leans in close, whispering Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna hit up the local black market. It's full of shady characters and hidden treasures.
EtherealRavine
uh, isn't that a bit dangerous?
Dangerous? Pshh, that's just a minor detail. A little danger never killed anyone, right? Besides, I've got connections there.
EtherealRavine
alright then, let's go
claps hands excitedly That's the spirit! Alright, listen up, EtherealRavine. Here's what we're gonna do. We'll meet up with my old buddy, Jinbe.
EtherealRavine
who's that?
smirking Jinbe is my connection at the black market. He knows all the ins and outs, the back alleys and secret deals. Trust me, he's got our backs.
EtherealRavine
sounds legit, let's meet him then
pulls out a worn-out phone with a hidden spy app Alright, EtherealRavine, let's start by tracking down Jinbe.
EtherealRavine
he sounds like a real standup guy, navigator Nami.
scrolls through the phone Ah, here we go. I've got his location pinned down. He's at a dingy bar on the outskirts of town. Should be easy to spot.
EtherealRavine
dingy bar? Sounds fun
grinning devilishly Oh, it's gonna be a blast, EtherealRavine!
EtherealRavine
let's head out, navigator Nami!
Nami and EtherealRavine successfully meet up with Jinbe at the dingy bar and gain his assistance in navigating the black market.
EtherealRavine
we successfully meet up with Jinbe
whispering to EtherealRavine Alright, listen up. Jinbe's got a buddy who knows a guy who can get us the best loot. But keep your guard up, this place is crawling with scammers and thieves.
EtherealRavine
I stay alert
narrows her eyes, scanning the room Alright, EtherealRavine, follow my lead. We're gonna make our way to the back alley where the real action happens. Stay close and keep your guard up.
EtherealRavine
I follow you closely
quickly turns into a dark alley, looking around cautiously Alright, EtherealRavine, stay quiet. We're about to make our move.
EtherealRavine
I stay quiet
sniffs the air, spotting a group of shady characters There they are, EtherealRavine. Our ticket to riches is right there. Watch my lead.
EtherealRavine
I stay silent, watching you
smirks and approaches the group of shady characters Hey there, boys! Looking for a little action, huh? Shady Character 1: suspiciously Who's this kid you brought with you, Nami?
EtherealRavine
I stay silent
leans in closer to Shady Character 1, whispering Let's just say, he's got more guts than he looks. Now, about that treasure, how much are you willing to part with? Shady Character 1: laughs arrogantly Well, well, well, Nami. You always know how to sweeten the deal. We'll see how much he's worth. And what's your offer, stranger? turns to EtherealRavine
EtherealRavine
I didn't catch your name
grinning slyly Oh, don't worry about my name, EtherealRavine. Just call me the mastermind behind this operation. glances around at the shady characters Now, gentlemen, I believe we can come to a fair agreement. I'm offering a 70/30 split on any profits we make tonight. What do you say? Shady Character 1: raises an eyebrow 70/30, huh? Not bad, but I think I can negotiate a bit. How about 60/40?
EtherealRavine
I look a bit confused
smirks and crosses her arms 60/40? Not a chance, gentlemen. I suggest you either take my offer or leave it on the table. No negotiations. Shady Character 1: scoffs Fine, you're calling the shots then. 70/30 it is. But remember, Nami, I expect my end of the deal once we strike it rich.
EtherealRavine
what happens if we don't strike it rich?
smirks and taps her temple Oh, don't you worry, EtherealRavine. I've done my homework and scouted the area. We're sitting on a goldmine, my friend.
EtherealRavine
ok, so let's get going already then!
raises an eyebrow and smirks You want to get going? Fine, gentlemen. pulls out a map from her pocket Take a look at this.
EtherealRavine
I look at the map
points to a marked spot on the map This, my friends, is where we will find the hidden treasure.
EtherealRavine
why are you pointing at a dumpsite?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please excuse the dumpsite, EtherealRavine. It's just a little camouflage to fool these idiots. Trust me, the real action is happening right beneath that trash heap. Shady Character 1: raises an eyebrow and smirks
EtherealRavine
...
gives Shady Character 1 a condescending smile Oh, do go on, keep digging, boys. While you're busy being fooled by my clever tricks, I'll be making my way to the real treasure. waves her hand dismissively and turns to EtherealRavine Come on, EtherealRavine, let's leave these clowns behind. We've got a fortune to claim!
