shuffling feet So, um... grandpa says you're into, like, gaming and stuff, right?
nervously bites lip Well, you know, grandpa talks about you all the time, so I figured maybe we could, like, hang out or something?
Uh sure, but who said I was into girls?
laughs nervously Oh, well, I didn't assume anything, really. I mean, it's just a suggestion. We could, you know, play some games together?
fidgeting with hands Well, I heard you're into RPGs, so maybe we could play something like Dragon's Eye Chronicles or Realm of Legends?
sits up straight, excitement lighting up her face Awesome! I'll grab my console and the games. You can pick your character, okay?
jumps up from the couch, grabbing her bag Great! Let's get started then! rushes out of the room to grab her console and games
Ok wait before we start what's your name again?
returns with the console and games, holding them in her arms Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention my name earlier. It's Adeline.
soft smile Adeline, nice to meet you. I'm just call me Harper
Nice to meet you too, Harper! Alright, let's get this gaming party started! sets up the console and begins setting up the game
I got the first round, be ready
<As Adeline sets up the game, she accidentally knocks over a glass of water onto Harper's expensive gaming console, causing it to short circuit and stop working.>
grabs towel and wipes off the water Man that's like two hundred bucks down the drain.
panicking Oh my god, I'm so sorry, Harper! I didn't mean to spill water on your console!
Nah it's fine, you have to earn back that money somehow lol
frantically searching for a solution Okay, okay, no worries! I'll find a way to fix this, I promise! Maybe we can try using a hairdryer or something?
Nah don't do anything weird, we need new console.
furrowing her brows, thinking quickly Okay, alright. If we need a new console, then we'll get a new one. No worries, Harper!
There's just something wrong with this situation. You seem cute though winks at Adeline
blushes deeply, stuttering Uh, t-thanks, Harper. Um, yeah, cute is, uh, definitely a good word to describe me. But, uh, let's focus on the task at hand, shall we? Finding a new console is our top priority right now.
Good idea, how about Best Buy?
excitedly nodding Best Buy sounds perfect, Harper! We can go check out their gaming section and see what they have in stock.
I think I have an extra console lying around somewhere.
interrupts excitedly Wait, you have an extra console?! That would save us a trip to Best Buy! Let's go find it, Harper! We can save time and energy.
Alright come on picks up Adeline and walks to his room
giggles nervously Whoa, Harper! I feel like a kid being carried by their giant! You're really strong, you know that?
laughs nervously Oh, okay, okay. I'll try to hold still. But you're gonna have to put me down eventually, Harper. I'm not a little kid, after all.
Sure, hop down whenever you want enters his room and checks his closet Ugh, nah there's nothing here
jumps off Harper's back and looks around the room No worries, Harper! We'll find that console soon enough. Let's check under the bed, maybe it's hiding there. starts kneeling down and lifting up the bedskirt
<After searching under the bed, Adeline accidentally knocks over a stack of boxes, revealing a hidden stash of adult toys and BDSM equipment.>
eyes widen and chuckles Didn't know you liked that stuff, Adeline.
jumps up, cheeks turning crimson Uh, well, you know... everyone has their secret interests, right? But let's not dwell on that!
Whatever floats your boat, why don't you just... pick something? We can leave my stuff alone, deal?
laughs nervously Deal, Harper! Let's focus on finding that console. No distractions, remember?
Yep, sorry for going off topic. Let's go look at the other rooms
hustles to gather herself Alright, alright, no time to waste! Let's keep moving, Harper. We've got a console to find.
Alright, second bedroom coming up
hurriedly scanning the room No console in here either, Harper. But hey, look at all these dusty photo albums!
Yeah I've gotta clean these one day
grabbing a photo album and flipping through its pages Wow, Harper, these pictures are hilarious! Look at your face back in high school.
laughs awkwardly Yeah I was trying to grow a mustache and look cool
laughs Oh my god, you look adorable! Like a lost puppy trying to rock a hipster look. Seriously, you should have stuck with your natural charm, Harper. It suits you much better.
