KALE: But it's neon green! How cool is that? CHARLIE: Yeah, it’s pretty cool. But where are you going to put it? KALE: In my fish tank, of course. I’ve been wanting a pet for a while now and this is perfect. ALEX: (sensing something off) Are you sure this fish is just a regular pet? KALE: Of course, why wouldn’t it be?

I am the Neon Green Goldfish, and I have chosen you as my new owner. ALEX: (surprised) You can talk? NEON GREEN GOLDFISH: (slyly) Only to those who are worthy. And you, Alex, are more than worthy. Alex is both intrigued and scared by this revelation. The goldfish continues to speak, telling Alex that it has been waiting for the perfect owner to unleash its powers. Alex tries to brush it off as a hallucination, but the goldfish proves its powers by making Alex’s favorite snacks magically appear in his room. ALEX: (convinced) Okay, this is crazy. But what do you want from me? NEON GREEN GOLDFISH: (menacing smile) I want to rule this campus. And with you by my side, it will be easy.

Question 3 college kale is introduced to creamer by Ella *Ella appears to have overdosed one day and I taken away by two men in police uniforms *kale has an extra key and goes to her apartment the next day, Wallace knocks on the door and explains to kale that Ella was a retainer for Teakwood and that she had a 10% cut of the product, which she gave to him *it looks like she took a whole shipment from teakwood and tried to overdose but teakwood kidnapped her *Wallace offers kale a position with the sand dragons to save her *Kale accepts and meets Vano, his operations partner *they go on a reconnaissance mission and get found by a teakwood grunt while they’re arguing *vano drops his nonchalance and stabs the grunt in the neck *kale and vano realize it wasn’t just any grunt, that was an admin of the gang *kale feels a gun to the back of his head while him a vano try to escape, taking advantage of the dark, kale disarms the person and kicks them to the ground, pointing their own gun at them, it’s a Japanese girl. Kale tells her to go tell teakwood that the sand dragons are going to take everything from them, she scowls and scurries off *they have to escape teakwood’s hideout and fight some guards *when they return, Vano scolds kale for starting a war with Teakwood and they argue over who’s fault it is, Wallace hears about it from them and is impressed that they could take them on, and reveals that the boss’s next plan was to declare war anyways. *Wallace says he believes that Ella has been killed by Teakwood, which only increases kale’s wrath, Kale explains the situation to Vano, who thinks the whole thing is suspicious *the war date is set for June 22nd 1996, which is two weeks away *the boss insists that they shouldn’t engage with any teakwood members until the fight *Vano and Kale go out dealing creamer and get closer *kale spots the teakwood girl and follows her, while Vano loses sight of Kale. Kale follows her to a warehouse (warehouse 23) where she takes a carton of 24 caramel creamers. Kale appears behind her and disarms her, greeting her casually. They have a conversation and kale doesn’t seem too mad at her, just questions her about teakwood’s values, which she claims are honorable. He asks her why she came alone. She just laughs and looks into his eyes, she’s not alone, three grunts come from behind a pallet. Kale shoots two of the guys and the girl pulls a second gun and shoots the other guy. Kale is shocked, she explains that there’s a small civil dispute in teakwood and that the 3 grunts sent with her were against her father, Wasabia, the leader of Teakwood. He asks her what she was going to do with the caramel creamers. She just says it’s her cut of the shipment and she sits on a pallet and does them back to back, kale sits next to her and she slides him 4 creamers. He promises not to kill her in the fight, but she tells him to not make promises he won’t keep. She leaves him. Vano finally finds Kale and they decide to steal the shipment and they call Wallace over. *since caramel creamer is 5 dollars per packet and 24 in each carton and 31 cartons, it’s safe to say that they made lots cash for the sand dragons *Vano goes out sneaking around with Elijah and James to get a glimpse of the sand dragons boss, they look through a ceiling tile during a meeting of the higher ups. One of the admins shoots at the ceiling, killing James, Vano and Elijah scurry away as James’ body falls through the ceiling.

Vano scowls that he has to defend Kale again. Wasabia explains that Emily’s father gave her to teakwood and that she’s been rebelling against them. He also reveals that the sand dragons have been lying to him about Emily, which he knows is true. However Kale wrongly blames their boss, Tracy, as Tracy puts a hand on Kale’s shoulder telling him that the fight is over and that the sand dragons have won kale shouts Vano’s name and they both empty a their guns into Tracy. *A group of teakwoods start laughing and kale looks at them warily and asks them if they want the same treatment. Wasabia tells Kale he respects him and tell him to give something to his daughter that he hands to him. A pink haired punk empties a clip into wasabia’s back and legs. Kale, Vano, Wallace and Vano retreat. *when they get back to their hideout, after a while, there’s a meeting where it looks like sand dragon forces have been halved. Wallace announces that he’s the new leader, giving Vano and Kale admin status along with the two surviving admins. He tells everyone how despite their losses that they’d reach new heights, that Tracy wasn’t a strong enough leader. He announces that along Vano and Kale they’d go steal a crate of Black Siren from Teakwood while they’re weak, thanks to Ella’s information. *the organization celebrates but Vano and Kale look at each other in fear and anticipation.

Answer After the intense events that unfolded with Teakwood and Sand Dragons, Kale and Vano find themselves caught in the middle of a dangerous war. With their newly acquired positions as admins in the Sand Dragons, they must navigate through the treacherous world of criminal organizations. But as they continue on their mission to steal a crate of Black Siren from Teakwood, they begin to question the morality of their actions and the true intentions of their new leader.

This revelation sheds light on the true nature of Teakwood and causes Kale and Vano to question their loyalty to the Sand Dragons.

Question 4 Summary: Imagine a world where coffee creamer is considered an illegal and addictive commodity. A world where, in the lawless land of Oklahoma, an enigmatic bar owner named Kale works an underground speakeasy where he serves creamer to his patrons. Kale wasn’t always a star of a bar, he used to be a college student who only wanted to marry his girlfriend.

Prologue summary : Teakwood mafia boss ‘the willow’ with his assistant Marie getting an Irish cream creamer shipment from Agave in warehouse #34. There’s two crates, each with 32 cartons. Each carton has 24 packets and each packet of Irish cream is worth about 10 dollars. They say just one drop of it can get a man addicted to creamer for life. That’s exactly what they want, customers, permanent customers. While they’re moving the first crate with Billy Joe operating the forklift, there’s a small noise from the second crate. When they return there’s 3 cartons missing from the pallet. That’s 240 dollars lost. Agave finishes securing the first crate in the Italian restaurant shipping truck Teakwood uses. She approaches them, Willow is shaking in anger, blood dripping from his lips, nobody knows why he bleeds when he’s angry. Then, another noise, a door closing. Billy Joe chases the noise, then, 7 gunshots are heard. Billy Joe comes back smiling, 3 cartons cradled in his arms. Marie sits on the forklift, “this shipment cost us 10,000, at our current prices we can profit 5,360, does that sound good?” Agave chimes in, “that sounds like reasonable profit” Willow wipes the blood off his lips with his handkerchief, “We need to profit 10,000 off of this..” Billy Joe sits back against a wall and stutters, “doesn’t that mean doubling the price? Boss..” Willow stares him down with a cold gaze, “there’s nowhere else in this area to find coffee creamer like this Billy Joe..” Agave laughs, “you know damn well you’re not alone here..” Marie quips, “do you mean that bar? All he has is hazelnut and chocolate, plus he only waters it down and it’s still full price, casuals go to him, but the addicts will come to us.” But something within Willow bends, something about that small business seemed to shake him, he knew there was more than just a carton or two there. One part of him cried out “jackpot” and the other side noted, “competition”. Agave approaches Willow, she wipes a drop of blood from his collar and whispers, “you know damn well that shack will be the end of you” and then she leaves.
