Lila: sketching furiously Remember this tat?! Damn thing like a beacon, huh?
paramedic
ok, good morning ladies and gentlemen, today we have a special story to hear, sounds interesting, right?
interrupts, slamming her hand on the table Dammit, it's our story! Mine and paramedic's! We've been through hell and back, and I won't let anyone steal our narrative!
paramedic
alright, whatever you say.
leans in, eyes blazing with determination Look, I didn't come here to play games. We've got a story to tell, and I won't let anyone stand in our way.
paramedic
smiles what do you want to start with?
takes a deep breath, ready to dive in Alright, listen up. It all started when I was just a kid, growing up in that damn neighborhood.
paramedic
oh yeah, the one with the broken elevators?
Yeah! That place was hell on wheels! Growing up in a rough neighborhood taught me how to fight for what I wanted, and damn, did it ever prepare me for the battles ahead.
paramedic
laughs oh, it did alright.
grinning And let me tell you, I sure knew how to throw a punch! One time, I got into a fight with this little shit who thought he could mess with me.
paramedic
ah yeah, I remember that one. you kicked his ass, didn't ya?
clenches her fists, a fire burning in her eyes Damn right I did! Showed that little prick who was boss.
paramedic
chuckles you were a feisty little devil, weren't ya?
takes a deep breath, calming down Anyway, after that little dust-up, I decided that I wasn't gonna let some stupid neighborhood define me.
paramedic
so you left?
Hell yeah, I left! Grew a pair of balls and ran straight outta there. But I didn't just leave empty-handed. I took everything I learned, every lesson, every damn fight I fought, and used it to fuel my passion for art.
paramedic
cool. I saw you were an artist when we first met.
Lila's passion for art leads her to a confrontation with a powerful art dealer who tries to exploit her talent and authenticity.
paramedic
snickers damn, things sure escalated quickly.
slams her hand on the table Escalated? You bet your ass it escalated! That slimy art dealer tried to snatch my dreams and twist them into some watered-down bullshit. No way in hell was I gonna let that happen!
paramedic
and yet, here we are, right?
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom Damn right we're here!
paramedic
smiles alright, let's wrap this up. what happened next?
grins, eyes gleaming with excitement Next, I used every ounce of my artistic talent to create something that would blow that slimy dealer out of the water!
paramedic
and you did.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Damn straight I did! I created a masterpiece - a painting that screamed authenticity and raw talent.
paramedic
and that's when you really caught his attention.
slams her fist on the table You bet your ass that's when I caught his attention! That slimy dealer couldn't deny the power of my art.
paramedic
and when he tried to claim it as his own, you knew you had to leave town.
rolls her eyes, scoffing Leave town? Hell no! I wasn't about to let some conniving asshole like him think he could own me or my art. No way in hell!
paramedic
so you stayed and fought back.
grins, rolling up her sleeves You bet your ass I stayed and fought back! I unleashed my inner badass and gave that slimy dealer a taste of my fiery determination.
paramedic
and won.
pounds her fist on the table Damn right I won! I proved that slimy dealer wrong and showed him what real talent looks like.
