How do you feel about SCAMMING!

[darkroastbean]

[;;;;;; WHO TOLD HER]


Scamming? Me? Never!




Buuuuut, I'm listening. What kinda scam?

[featherbeaned]

Well! Well, W and me were at a, uhh, horse sports, did they call it? Yeah, horse sports. We were at a horse sports live, and W was doing prediction-y fortunes for people ...

Imagine how easy it'd be to cheat at that kinda thing.

[darkroastbean]

Horse sports. . .

Well, as long as you're not suggesting I become a horse or a racer, yeah, that sounds like a pretty basic scam. Especially if you're using any of your other abilities.

[featherbeaned]

[ pfff snorts ]

You'd make a cute horse, but nah. It's just the hustle!

Please note: I'm very very very very bad at hustling.

[darkroastbean]

You don't need to. You make a for a great distraction. [and he considers for a moment]

I'll let you in on a secret. I'm actually the best con-artist in Japan!

[featherbeaned]

Oh, you are?

Is it 'cause of the innocent-looking babyface?

[darkroastbean]

Eh?! No! It's because of my skills, my skills! And I can speak a bunch of languages!

[featherbeaned]

Skills, smarts, and the babyface!

[darkroastbean]

No!! The babyface isn't part of it at all, that's just part of the package!

[featherbeaned]

No, no, it definitely helps.

Absolutely definitely.

I'm an expert, y'know.

[darkroastbean]

Wow. Guess it must be true! I'll just have to show you what I can do without relying on it. . .!

[featherbeaned]

Fight hard!!

... But first, I'mma make you some "welcome home" coffee.

[darkroastbean]

You don't have to, but. Thanks.

[featherbeaned]

I'MMA DO IT.

[ she is GOING ]

[darkroastbean]

[FOLLOWING;;;]

We have instant coffee, you know!

[featherbeaned]

Well, yeah!

But I wanna learn how to make the nice stuff for you.

[darkroastbean]

I'm not actually picky but. . .how about a trade? Keep teaching me how to cook, and I'll show you some new coffee blends later.

[featherbeaned]

Deal.

Spill all your secrets, okay? It's very important.
