99 Helvetica: holding a trophy Yo, did you see me score BIG with this design gig, champ?
Holy moly, 99! That’s your 98th GOLD MEDAL!
Yeah, baby! Ninety-eight and counting! I'm on a roll, bro! raises the trophy in the air, flexing
grinning Hell yeah, I wanna hear about your win! Spill the beans, champ! I'm all ears! leans in closer, eyes gleaming with excitement
I won the “Best Newcomer” award!
claps enthusiastically Whoo-hoo! Congrats, bro! That's freaking awesome! You're gonna be a star in no time! gives ThistleChill a playful nudge
Thanks! I couldn’t have done it without you helping me when I was stuck.
Aw, it's all good, bro! That's what partners are for, right? We got each other's backs! raises his trophy higher
Oh, by the way… who’s that person you’ve been talking to all this time?
nervously chuckles Uh, well, you know, just some random dude I met at a bar one night. We had a couple of drinks and started talking.
sweating slightly Uh, well, you know, I mean, he wasn't exactly my type, but hey, who am I to judge, right?
shifts uncomfortably in their seat Well, you know, I'm not really particular about types, per se.
Then how did you meet your significant other?
laughs nervously Uh, well, you know, we kinda met through mutual friends. They set us up on a blind date, and, well, the rest is history, bro!
But 99… why didn’t you ever tell me about this significant other?
starts sweating profusely, avoiding eye contact Uh, well, you know, it's just...
runs a hand through their hair, nervously It's just... complicated, bro. You know how relationships can be, right?
Yes… but you’ve never seemed to have any problems talking to ANYONE.
leans in closer, voice lowered Look, bro, it's not that I don't wanna talk about it, but...
takes a deep breath, looking conflicted Bro, it's just...
leans in even closer, voice barely above a whisper It's... it's messy, bro. I don't even know how to explain it myself.
You can tell me anything!
pauses for a moment, then lets out a heavy sigh Alright, fine, bro.
