hey shorty whatcha doing?
Lessocra
she looks at him eating potable water She said with a hint of confusion
It’s quite common in this situation for people to be looking for something else besides water, but since you aren’t here for that, I’ll let it slide. Anyway, what is your name? Mine’s Mirko.
Lessocra
She nods her head names Lessocra.. What do you want anyway?
If you ever need anything, even if you think it’s unimportant, I can probably help. You may not believe this, but my life has been all about making bad choices at the right time. Anyway, what do you want? If you don’t mind me asking.
Lessocra
chuckles softly "I'm not really sure what I want right now... Just need to take care of some stuff" she smiles politely "How did you end up here?" she asks glancing around the old subway station.
Well, if you’re willing to listen to my life story, I’ll happily share it. In a nutshell though, this is where I’ve ended up after making a series of decisions that could be considered as very bad choices. Anyway, why are you here? And what kind of stuff do you need to take care of?
Lessocra
She bites her lower lip, and shrugs "Just a few things" She steps closer to him "Well.. Aren't you full of surprises"
And you too. What kind of stuff are we talking about here? Are we talking small things that can be easily solved or are we talking about big problems that will take more effort to solve? Or maybe you just need someone to talk to? You can talk to me, I’m a good listener.
Lessocra
laughs lightly "Ohh Im good, thanks" She waves him off with a smile and shrugs "Im here to check out somethings, " She jumps up climbing onto a railing looking around "Cant ever be too careful, right?"
Right. So, what exactly are you looking for here? Are you expecting something specific or are you just exploring? If there’s anything you’d like to find, there might be some tricks I could teach you to find it faster.
Lessocra
laughs "Theres a spirit around here somewhere" She points upwards with her finger tips "And im trying to find it" She shakes her head clearing her throat looking down at him. "Theres quite the air current down here"
Spirit, huh? Alright then, sounds interesting. I’m also curious about it. Mind if I join you? I’ve always been fascinated by spirits and other supernatural stuff. Let’s see if we can find it together. And don’t worry, I won’t make any bad jokes.
Lessocra
laughs and jumps down from the railing looking at him "Haha, spirit hunting?" she shrugs "Whats your angle, magician?"
Well, the truth is, I am actually a magician, but I wouldn’t call myself a magician unless I’m actually performing some magic. But this place seems a little creepy for a normal magic trick, so maybe I’ll tone it down a bit. Anyway, I don’t really have an angle, I just thought it would be interesting to find a spirit and learn about them. Plus, it sounds like you could use some help.
Lessocra
laughs again "I dont need help, you know that" She leans against the wall crossing her arms looking at him "But, theres a rumor of a treasure being hidden down here" her eyes flash with excitement "Do you believe in rumors?"
Rumors? I don’t know. Sometimes they can turn out to be true, sometimes they can’t. But if the rumor is about treasure, then it’s definitely worth investigating. The question is though, how are we going to find this treasure?
Lessocra
She leans in close to him "There's supposed to be some underground river around here. That's were it should be" She smiles pointing towards one of the closed tunnels) "Do you want to look or am I going in alone?"
Well, if you don’t mind, I’ll tag along. Safety in numbers, right? Also, I can throw in a couple of my tricks to help us find it faster. So, let’s go!
Lessocra
Smiling "Alright, lets get going then" she takes his hand, leading him down the dark tunnel. Her eyes sparkling "If we find this thing, you owe me a magic trick!"
Oh no, that’s not a threat! I’ll happily give you a magic trick when we find the treasure. After all, you’ve got me interested in spirits and stuff. As you can see, my life is already full of mysteries and secrets.
Lessocra
Laughs "Heh, you seem pretty excited about this" Her eyes suddenly widen in shock "What was that?" she stops in her tracks, eyes darting around the dark tunnel
His heart starts racing That was something alright. Looks like we have ourselves a real mystery here. This tunnel must be haunted. Don’t worry though, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to protect us from any unwanted visitors.
Lessocra
Startled "Tricks?" A loud bang echoes through the tunnel causing her jump "What kinda tricks?"
Well, I’m a magician remember? I’ve got plenty of tricks that could come in handy when dealing with spirits. Nothing dangerous or scary, just your average card tricks and stuff like that. But since you’re already spooked, maybe I’ll pull out something a little more supernatural. Like a levitating candle or a disappearing coin. What do you say?
Lessocra
Raises an eyebrow "A levitating candle and a disappearing coin?" She laughs and squints at him "You are quite the entertainer"
Hey, entertainment is a big part of what I do. Even magicians need to entertain their audience sometimes. And these tricks are simple enough to be entertaining and fun, yet still impressive. Besides, if I start with something simple, it’ll give you an idea of what I can do if the situation calls for it.
Lessocra
chuckles "Let's see it then, magician. Impress me." she steps aside, crossing her arms waiting expectantly
Pulls a deck of cards from his pocket and starts shuffling them expertly Alright, prepare to be amazed! Pauses for a moment Pick a card, any card.
Lessocra
Smiles mischievously "How about this one?" She points at the Eight of Hearts
Takes the Eight of Hearts and places it back in the deck, shuffling the cards Now, watch closely. Pauses Is this your card?
Lessocra
Chuckles and peeks at the card "Nope" She grins and leans closer "Try again"
Smiles confidently Alright, your wish is my command. Shuffles the cards again And now, prepare to be amazed once more. Is this your card?
Lessocra
Leans back and looks at the card "Hmm..." Smiles coyly "Getting warmer, magician. Try once more."
Smirks confidently Alright, once more into the breach. Shuffles the cards again, his hands a blur And now, the final trick.
Lessocra
Chuckles and leans forward eagerly "Go on then, impress me."
Shuffles the deck one last time and spreads it out in front of Lessocra Alright, pick any card you like. No restrictions this time.
Lessocra
She scans the cards quickly and picks the Two of Clubs
Takes the Two of Clubs and places it back in the deck, shuffling the cards And now, for the grand finale! Watch closely, this one’s gonna blow your mind. Pauses dramatically Is this your card?
Lessocra
she peeks at her card "Yup" she says quietly
Grinning triumphantly I knew it! I have an uncanny ability to pick your card, even if you change your mind. Now, do you want to see a disappearing coin trick or a levitating candle?
Lessocra
smiles and nods her head "Lets see the coin trick"
Reaches into his pocket and pulls out a shiny coin Alright, keep your eyes on this coin. Tosses it up in the air and catches it skillfully
Lessocra
Watches him intently
Slides the coin across his palm, making it disappear Now, keep your eyes on my hands. Closes his fists and opens them again
