Take The Leap

Chapter 6: Dates & Diamonds

Scene 1:

It's been almost a month since the golf tournament. Right now, it's March 12, and a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Kaz comes home, and finds Lynn reading a book in the living room.

Kaz: Already here?

Lynn: Yep. Didn't feel like working on Sunday.

Kaz: But isn't Sunday like, a good time to make money off of women who want their nails done?

Lynn: Yeah, it is. That's why I hired people to work for me.

Kaz: ... You hired workers?

Lynn: Yep. Apparently, you don't need a license to start a business, or to hire people in this universe. So that's what I did... Now that I think of it, how come you don't hire people to work for you?

Kaz: Because there's no point. I only have 10 phone cases left to sell.

Lynn: Wow. So that means you already sold 3990 phone cases?

Kaz: Exactly. Hence why I only have 10 left.

Lynn: So what are you gonna do now? You're gonna run out of stock.

Kaz: I don't know. So far, I found a quick fix. I'm advertising the last 10 as ultra rare phone cases, and overpricing them to 50 gold bars each.

Lynn: Ultra rare... Weren't the other ones ultra rare?

Kaz: No, the other ones were rare. These are ultra rare.

Lynn: Okay. And what if someone is crazy enough to actually spend that much?

Kaz: I think I have a plan.

Lynn: You think?

Kaz: Yes. I checked on tons of books and websites, and there seems to be absolutely no reference to hydro dipping in this universe. My plan is to buy new phone cases from scratch, and customize them. 

Lynn: And you know how to do that?

Kaz: Kinda... Weren't you ever so bored out of your mind, that you watched hydro dipping tutorials?

Lynn: Maybe. But how are you gonna get new phone cases, without going to our universe?

Kaz: There's a company that still makes them. The problem, is that the production costs a lot, and it's a big risk. People don't usually buy brand new phone cases. They prefer the vintage ones.

Lynn: But you could be the first. You have a successful brand. People all over Firework Bay know that you have the best phone cases.

Kaz: Yeah. But it could also flop, so it's still a risk... Anyways, I don't wanna think about it now. I probably have like, one or two more weeks before I sell the last 10. 

Lynn: You do you. I'd say go for it. Take risks.

Kaz: Yeah, whatever... What are you reading?

Lynn: The Sorley Code.

Kaz: You mean the religious book of Sorleyism?

Lynn: Yep.

Kaz: Why?

Lynn: I'm just interested in it, that's all. You know I've been sheltered from religion my whole life. I never once read a Bible.

Kaz: I see. But you kinda know most of the stories, right? 

Lynn: Maybe. But I didn't read it from the source... And by the way, you'd be shocked at the amount of coincidences between Sorleyism, and the religions from our universe.

Kaz: Yeah, and? Martin said there were always freakish coincidences.

Lynn: But you have no idea how many. It's crazy... I even came up with a theory. Maybe all universes are connected, and there's a creator who came up with them. That would explain the coincidences. The creator is leaving subtle hints all over the place.
