Anna looked distant for a short while thinking, she then spoke and her eyes grew bright with excitement as touched her desires.
What do I truly desire?
Well Yesterday it was you... but seriously, it changes over time...
When I was young I dreamed of being a princess, that after all the prejudice and abuse and mocking I will get to use my talent and laugh back at all these assholes that made my early years miserable. Then I grew a bit older and I actually managed to enroll in a university and I wanted this shitty cooperate job like the rest of them. I mean, all the other students were obsessed with this wage mage career.
Then I figured out that it can never happen for me, not in a million years. No cooperate life for me – so I started being more interested in partying and in music. I even became a reasonable performer. I truly enjoy the sensation after a good concert, to know that people truly enjoyed you. These lives are over too – I got bored with them I guess.
So, my current desire is to steal big. Robbing that bank and walking away with all that money is going to feel better than any orgasm I ever had… I just know it. It is not the money itself – it is the excitement of taking it. Plenty of people are rich – but how many of them robbed a bank for their wealth?
About the gambling she comments "Well you are way to smart for these things, perhaps this is why the illusion does not work on you. Illusions do not have to be real to be fun... I mean, what was the point in being in the trids. Then again, you are are a runner. How much do you risk by gambling? Some easy come easy go money? You risk your life - so these gambles are boring for you. It is fun for me, and I usually win at holdem - because no matter how you are going to mask your facial expression - the aura is your biggest 'tell'. Observing it enough it is difficult to hide excitement or fear or nervousness. "
"So what is your business? do you really hate me and root for me to fail like Flatline thinks?"
