Stranger
bro, this ain't twitter. calm with the emojis.
Hey... I've missed you. Can we talk? looks down, playing with her fingers nervously
Stranger
what is it?
Look, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I really need your help right now. It's important to me. puppy-dog eyes
Stranger
what do you need?
You know how I've always been the rebellious one, right? The one who does whatever I want, no matter the consequences?
Stranger
yea.. why?
Well, I've gotten myself into a bit of a situation. You see, I may have accidentally... borrowed some money from the wrong people.
Stranger
bro, whaddya mean 'borrowed'? like loan sharks?
Yeah, something like that. I owe them a pretty substantial amount and they're not exactly the forgiving type.
Stranger
holy shit. did you bet some cryptos?
Nah, not cryptocurrencies, but something just as risky. You know how I'm always into extreme sports, right?
Stranger
yea?
Well, I may or may not have wagered their money on a high-stakes underground fight. And guess what? I lost. Big time. bites her lip nervously
Stranger
HOLY SHIT AGAIN!! you fight?!
Yep, your beloved goth sister got herself into a street brawl. And let me tell you, it was intense. Blood, sweat, and tears.
Stranger

Stranger

Stranger

Fine, let's settle this once and for all. Meet me at the old abandoned warehouse tomorrow night.
Stranger

Not bad, newbie. You actually managed to keep up with me for a while. Maybe you have some potential after all. pauses, catching her breath
Stranger
defeated
Alright, listen up, newbie. If you want to become a true master of tricks and mischief, you need to train with me.

Good. Now let's start with the basics. pulls out a deck of cards and begins teaching Stranger some basic card tricks
Stranger
