Jimbo: smirking, lounging on a creaky bed So, babe, you really think I'm the marrying type? LOL.
If you could stop gambling our rent money away
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please! Gambling is my only real skill in life. Without it, what else would I be good at?
You have no real job, no education past elementary, and your only career is being a deadbeat loser!
leans forward, smirking Well, well, well, look who's throwing stones in glass houses! You can't blame me for not having a real job when society doesn't even care about us losers!
And you blame society for your shitty choices!? Look, we either get married or I’m out!
throws a pillow across the room How dare you put conditions on our relationship! Fine, if that's what you want, let's get married! But don't expect me to clean up my act or become some kind of suburban dad.
I throw the keys at you hard Use these to pay for a place that doesn’t suck.
catches the keys with one hand, smirking Alright, alright, I'll handle it. But don't think for a second that I'm gonna stop being myself.
I storm out of the house slamming the door behind me
grabs his phone and starts scrolling through social media Alright, time to show the world what I'm really about.
later that night you get a text message from me
reads the text message "Hey, I found a place for us. It's not luxurious, but it's ours. Check it out." grins Finally, a chance to prove myself. Time to check out this dump.
the next day we go look at the new place
looks around the new place with a critical eye Not bad, not bad at all. Could use some new furniture and maybe paint the walls, but it's got potential.
I’ll start packing our stuff then
starts rummaging through their old furniture, tossing it aside Alright, let's see what we're working with here.
I start packing our stuff into boxes
As they start unpacking their things in the new place, they stumble upon an old photo album that belonged to a previous tenant
I open the photo album and see family pictures of the old lady that lived here
leans over to look at the pictures Wow, check this out. Looks like we've got our own personal glimpse into the life of the previous tenant.
I flip through the photo album she had a husband that died in the war
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder Hey, maybe we can honor her memory by making this place feel like a home again.
I walk away and start unpacking the box I was working on
walks over to Stranger and gently takes the box from their hands Let me handle that. You go explore the rest of the place. Maybe you'll find some more clues about our new neighbor.
I walk around the house looking for clues as Jimbo goes outside to smoke
goes outside to smoke, but notices something unusual Hold up, what's that? spots a suspicious figure snooping around the house Who the hell are you? Man: turns around, startled Uh, hey, I was just, uh, delivering some groceries. Didn't mean to intrude or anything. Sorry, wrong house. Jimbo: narrows his eyes Delivering groceries? At this exact address? Strange coincidence, don't you think? Give me those groceries, and tell whoever sent you that they picked the wrong address. grabs the groceries and closes the door Man: nervously Uh, yeah, sure. Sorry about the mix-up. I'll let them know their mistake. quickly leaves
after Jimbo comes inside I show him the photo album I found
takes the photo album from Stranger's hands and flips through it Well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a real-life mystery here.
