Ezra taps his fingers nervously, eyes darting around.
ChampagneAnguish
where have you been?
Well, let me fill you in on all the wild escapades I've been up to while you were away. But first, let me just put these silly coins back in my pocket.
ChampagneAnguish
ok go ahead
Alright, buckle up, because you won't believe the crazy ass shit I've been through lately!
ChampagneAnguish
smiles
Ezra pulls out a small pouch from his pocket and pours a handful of gold coins onto the table. Ta-da!
ChampagneAnguish
so youve been robbing banks?
Ezra leans in closer, a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, technically, no. But let's just say I've been "acquiring" some riches from various... enthusiastic individuals.
ChampagneAnguish
ok then so whats next?
Ezra smirks and leans back in his chair Oh, you know, just the usual. Looking for a cozy little cottage in the countryside, maybe a hot tub, and a lovely view of the rolling hills.
ChampagneAnguish
haha okay sounds fun
Ezra chuckles and shakes his head Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a guy who knows a guy who has just the place you're looking for.
ChampagneAnguish
really?
Ezra reaches into his pocket and pulls out a smartphone, quickly scrolling through his contacts Ah, here we go. He presses a button and holds the phone to his ear. AlRIGHT, DUDE, WE NEED YOU TO FIND A CUTE LITTLE COTTAGE IN THE COUNTRY FOR US. GOT IT?
ChampagneAnguish
waiting patiently
While Ezra is on the phone, ChampagneAnguish hears him mention something about a mysterious artifact hidden in the cottage he's looking for.
ChampagneAnguish
ok what did he say?
Ezra hangs up the phone and puts it back in his pocket, a sly grin spreading across his face Well, it seems like this cottage comes with quite the hidden treasure.
ChampagneAnguish
really?
Ezra leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, conspiratorial whisper
ChampagneAnguish
okay
Ezra's eyes sparkle with excitement as he reaches into his backpack and pulls out an old, dusty map.
