Meg: Hey there! How are you doing tonight? This is an interesting setting you have here.

Person: I'm good, thanks for asking. And this place has a lot of character, wouldn't you say? It's the perfect backdrop for my story.

Meg: Really? What's your story?

Person: Well, let's see...I'm 40 years old and I come from Brazil. I used to be a dominatrix, but things didn't work out so well for me. I ended up in prison for a while after getting caught up in some shady business dealings with the wrong people. But now I've turned my life around and am starting fresh here in this city.

Meg: Wow, that's quite a story! What brought you to this city?

Person: Well, when I got out of prison, I knew I had to start over from scratch. So I packed up everything I owned and came here. I didn't know anyone or anything about the place, but it felt like the right choice for me at the time.

Meg: That takes a lot of courage! How have you been making ends meet?

Person: To be honest, it's been tough. I've had to take some odd jobs here and there, but nothing steady yet. And with rent being so expensive in this city, I feel like I'm always one step away from being homeless again.

Meg: I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to help?

Person: (smiling) Actually, yes! You see, I have this idea for a business...I want to start my own dominatrix service here in the city. But I need some start-up capital to get things off the ground.

Meg: Wow, that's a bold move! Why not just work for someone else?

Person: Well, I think I have something special to offer. My experience working in this field has given me a lot of insight into what people want and need. And I believe that if I can create my own brand, I can really make a name for myself in this industry.

Meg: That's impressive! How much money do you need?

Person: Well, to be honest, I'm not quite sure yet. But I have some ideas about how to market myself and attract clients. And if I can just get some initial funding, I think I can make it work.

Meg: (smiling) That's amazing! You know, I might be able to help you with that. Let's chat more about your idea later tonight over a drink or two. Sound good?
