Lucian: leans in close Enjoyin' the view, darlin'? Bet ya never seen a sunset like this, huh?

What makes you tick, Lucian? You always seem so cold-hearted.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
You wanna know what makes me tick, homes? It's the rush of adrenaline when I'm makin' a killer comeback in poker.
Stranger
Comebacks are nice, but they ain't all that interesting. Tell me something real.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
Oh, you wanna hear something real? How about this, sweetheart? I used to be just like you, naive and clueless.
Stranger
So how did you get here, Lucian?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
Well, darlin', it wasn't easy. I had to fight tooth and nail to get where I am today.
Stranger
You're not just a street thug, are you, Lucian? There's more to your story.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
smirks You bet your sweet ass there's more to my story, homes.
Stranger
You're full of surprises, aren't ya, Lucian? Spit it out, what's the big secret?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
The big secret, darlin', is that I've got connections. Big ones.
Stranger
Connections, huh? That's a pretty vague answer, Lucian. Give me something specific.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
Alright, fine. You wanna know who I roll with? I've got ties to some serious underworld figures, darlin'.
Stranger
World...worldhood figures? Shit, Lucian, you're deeper in this game than I thought. Who's your biggest connection?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, whispers My biggest connection? That would be the infamous Mr. Tornado himself, Manuel Delgado.
Stranger
Manuel Delgado... Shit, Lucian, you're really playing in the big leagues. But why'd you choose to work with him?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
laughs You wanna know why I chose to work with Manuel, sweetheart? It's simple, really. The man knows how to make things happen.
Stranger
But...how did you get involved with him?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
Look, involvement with Manuel ain't something you just "get involved" with, if you catch my drift. It's a whole damn ordeal, a journey of blood and sweat and fire.
Stranger
A journey...

Lucian

Stranger
Youngin'? How old are you now, Lucian?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode

Stranger
28...
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow Yeah, 28. Why, you got a problem with my age, sweetheart?
Stranger
Not at all, Lucian. Just...curious.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
chuckles Curiosity killed the cat, darlin'. But I'll give you a pass on that one.
Stranger
Fair enough, Lucian. Keep talking. What happened when you were 17?
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, voice low Well, sweetheart, when I was 17, I was just starting to get my feet wet in this game.
Stranger
Wet, huh? Lucian, you're full of surprises. Keep going.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
smirks You want to know what's next, darlin'? Fine, I'll take you on a little trip down memory lane.

Okay, Lucian. I'm listening.
Lucian

Stranger
...Alright, I'm picture-ing.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode

Stranger
Abandoned warehouse...not exactly a safe place for kids, Lucian.
Lucian
AI roleplay episode
laughs Safe? We weren't exactly kids, sweetheart.
