"So you're the one called Kid Joker." I said, popping a chewing gum as I had my hands in my black and white NY bomber jacket, leaning my body weight against the passenger door of Julie's Toyota Supra.
"And you're Jordan, the kid who's too broke to buy his girl anything."
"Ha-ha, very funny." I said, looking at him sternly as he stood idly by next to Little Smile-Li who was rolling dice with his friends outside of Red Arcade, Allie casually having her arms folded as she popped a chewing gum. It was Peng Ha's uncle; Uncle Cain who owned the infamous shop known for having the best luck pulling the best cards from Yu-Gi-Oh blisters.
"Jump in. We got lots to discuss."

"Good job finding Allie, although I can't say the same about her boyfriend, the kid's worried that she'll change for the worse." I murmured, the two of us sitting inside my car as I fiddled with the gear stick.
"Well, I traverse just fine with you- I can paint the walls efficiently."
"You can, but you're only good at using one emotion; hatred." I exclaimed, to which he shrugged.
"Results are results."
"If you learn to control it we'll have more clients wanting your expertise. More clients means more training." The thought lingered in his mind before he sighed.
"Look, I didn't think I was good at traversing, I only did it because I wanted something to do to fill my time. Besides, I only want to get better to afford my brother a nice Latin lollipop that he claims Daniel stole."
"How much for a Latin lollipop?" I asked.
"MBML are offering it if I trade two blisters, and Peng Ha will only provide them to me if I complete jobs for the Lin-Kuei on his behalf." He exclaimed.
"Missions from the Lin-Kuei are known to be soul crushing, you better hope that traversing for one particular lollipop is worth it."
"It will be, especially when both my brothers dabble in ancient confectionery. Besides, once I return what belongs to Michael, the relationship between both my brothers will return to normal, almost like nothing ever happened."
