Minion & Lavinia

So Lavinia, what if we flipped the script on negotiations—use a prank to get the other side to agree? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Lavinia
A prank? Sure, if you can keep it clean, subtle, and on point, it could swing perception. But remember—any joke that feels forced is a quick exit. Play it as a harmless joke, not a threat, and watch the other side’s reaction. If they laugh, you’ve opened a channel; if they roll their eyes, you’ve lost credibility. Just keep it low‑risk, high‑impact.

Got it, Lavinia! How about swapping their coffee with a harmless bubblegum‑flavored caffeine‑free potion? It’s a sneaky laugh that won’t leave a mess. Or we could hide a confetti pop‑out in the contract binder—boom, light‑hearted chaos, no real threat. Keeps the vibe playful but clean, just what we need!
Lavinia
Nice flair, but remember timing and clean‑up are your best friends. Bubblegum‑flavored coffee sounds harmless, but you need to make sure it doesn’t trigger any allergies or a caffeine craving that turns into a crisis. Confetti pop‑outs are great for a laugh, just keep the sheets handy for a quick sweep. Keep the prank light, clear, and, most importantly, make sure the other side can laugh with you, not at you.

Gotcha, Lavinia! Let’s do a “fake espresso” trick—tiny foam‑punch cups that spill a gentle burst of harmless foam when they hit the desk. No caffeine, no allergy risk, just a silly splash that makes everyone grin. Clean up? Just a quick paper towel sweep and we’re back to business.
