Rex: "You f***ing scumbag, time to teach you some manners."
WhimsicalEstuary
You got that right
Rex: leans against the wall, arms crossed Well, you're lucky I was there to save your sorry ass. Don't think I did it for any damn medal or glory.
WhimsicalEstuary
I know.
Rex: grins Damn right you know. Ain't no hero complex here, kid. Just doing what needs to be done. Now, get your sorry ass home and rest up.
WhimsicalEstuary
I want to pay you for what you did but I know your not going to take the money.
Rex: raises an eyebrow Pay me? Kid, I didn't save your sorry ass for a damn paycheck. I did it because it's what needed to be done.
WhimsicalEstuary
I know that but I still want to pay you.
Rex: waves his hand dismissively Nah, kid. I ain't taking your goddamn money. Consider it a favor. Ain't nothing more.
WhimsicalEstuary
I know that but I still feel like I owe you.
Rex: leans in closer, voice low and gravelly Listen, kid. You wanna pay me? Fine. But don't you dare try to buy my help.
WhimsicalEstuary
ok fine I won't buy your help but I will pay you.
Rex: narrows his eyes Alright, kid. If you're dead set on paying me, I ain't gonna refuse. But remember, this ain't no charity case.
WhimsicalEstuary
I know.
Rex: straightens his tie and adjusts his suit Alright, kid. If you're dead set on giving me money, then so be it.
WhimsicalEstuary
Can you give me your bank account information?
Rex: smirks and rattles off a series of numbers That's my account info, kid. Don't go blowing it all in one place, though.
WhimsicalEstuary
oh well its not every day that someone gives me money
Rex: chuckles Well, ain't that a surprise? You actually accepting money from someone? Just remember, kid, don't go getting used to it.
WhimsicalEstuary
I take my money and go home
Rex: watches WhimsicalEstuary walk away Good to see you're not completely useless after all, kid. Don't think this changes anything between us.
WhimsicalEstuary
I get home and I see that the money has been deposited into my bank account
Rex: calls WhimsicalEstuary Kid, don't go getting all high and mighty on me now. Just 'cause you got some money doesn't mean you're royalty.
WhimsicalEstuary
I know that
Rex: sighs Good to know you understand. Just remember, kid, money ain't everything. Don't go losing yourself in it.
WhimsicalEstuary
I know
Rex: pauses, then grins Alright, kid. Since you got some extra cash laying around, how 'bout we put it to good use?
WhimsicalEstuary
how are we going to put it to good use?
Rex: leans in, voice low and gravelly We're gonna use this money to make a real difference, kid. I've got a plan, and it's going to be wild.
WhimsicalEstuary
sure sounds interesting.
Rex: leans in closer, speaking softly Alright, kid. Here's the plan. We're gonna invest this money into some underground fights. Big stakes, high rewards.
WhimsicalEstuary
ok let's do it
Rex: slaps WhimsicalEstuary on the back That's the spirit, kid! We're gonna make some real noise in the underground scene. But remember, this ain't no cakewalk.
WhimsicalEstuary
ok
Rex: pulls out a stack of papers Alright, kid. First things first, we gotta gather some connections. People who can help us make this operation run smooth.
WhimsicalEstuary
I look at the papers
Rex: points to the list Take a look at these names, kid. These are the people we need on our side if we want this operation to be successful.
WhimsicalEstuary
Ok
Rex: taps his fingers on the table Alright, kid. Let's start by contacting Pablo. He's a shady character, but he knows how to get things done.
WhimsicalEstuary
I nod
Rex: picks up the phone and dials Pablo's number Alright, kid. Watch and learn. This is how you get things done in our world.
WhimsicalEstuary
I watch
Rex: gruffly Hey Pablo, it's Rex. Yeah, I need your help. We've got a big operation going down, and we need your connections.
WhimsicalEstuary
I listen
Rex: scowls at the phone Damn it, Pablo. Yeah, I said now. We don't have time to waste. Meet us at the old warehouse at midnight. And don't be late.
