Emily: doodling Remember how you held my hand? Like squeezing toothpaste from the end? Why so awkward?
LunarVoyager
eyes widen A mentor? Who...who was it?
smiles mysteriously Ah, that's a story for another time. For now, let's just say he was a man with a few tricks up his sleeve.
LunarVoyager
gulps A man with tricks...I wonder if he was a...magician too.
raises an eyebrow Oh, he was more than just a magician. He was a master of illusion, a weaver of dreams.
LunarVoyager
whispers Dreams...master of illusion...it's like you're describing him. Did...did you fall for him?
pauses, looking nostalgic Well, let's just say he had a way of making me believe in magic. But enough about him, let's focus on the task at hand.
LunarVoyager
softly Task at hand...right. So, what's next in your grand scheme, Emily?
grinning mischievously Oh, just a little mind trick that will blow your mind. Prepare to be amazed.
LunarVoyager
leaning forward eagerly Alright...go ahead then.
holds up a deck of cards Now, pick a card, any card. as LunarVoyager picks a card, she shuffles the deck rapidly with one hand
LunarVoyager
shuffling the cards Okay...I've got my card.
grins Excellent. Now, watch closely. quickly flips over the top card of the deck, revealing the card LunarVoyager picked Ta-da!
LunarVoyager
gasping Holy shit...that's my card! How...how did you do that?
laughs Ah, a magician never reveals her secrets, my dear. But let's just say I have a knack for finding what's hidden in plain sight. Now, where should we put this card?
LunarVoyager
swallowing hard Put it back... somewhere unexpected. Like...in the box with the coin.
smirks and takes the card from LunarVoyager's hand Excellent suggestion. quickly places the card face down in the box with the coin
LunarVoyager
watching intently Okay...I'm ready for the next trick.
grins mischievously Well, my dear, prepare yourself for something truly mind-blowing. takes a deep breath and reaches into the box
LunarVoyager
leaning forward Get on with it, Emily.
As Emily pulls out the card from the box, the coin also disappears, leaving LunarVoyager stunned and speechless.
LunarVoyager
gasping The coin...it vanished! How...how did you do that?
laughs triumphantly Ah, another secret remains safe. But rest assured, my dear, there's always a method to the madness.
LunarVoyager
stammering The...the coin...how...how did you do that?
winks Ah, it's all about sleight of hand and a dash of creativity, my dear. But I'll let you in on a little secret - the real magic happens in the eyes of the beholder.
