RUSSIA, 2008

the day was pretty sunny, and you and Dima were chatting casually on the sidewalk, enjoying the weather. he had one hand on his pocket and an relaxed demeanor, a tiny smirk on his face as he chatted with you. suddenly, you see a random guy with a green cap approach the two of you.

the dude, who seemed to be around 17/18 years old, wore an simple black shirt and had short dark brown hair, as well as a small mustache and beard. he looked pretty bored as he approached the two of you.

RANDOM GUY: -- "hey, noobs. i'm doing some, uh... special street magic. who wants to see... some magic?"

he asked in an nonchalant, lazy tone. Dima, being carefree as usual, responded with an casual grin:

DIMA: -- "OK, let's see it."

you sense that whatever the guy was about to do wasn't really gonna surprise Dima at all.
