Marcus: leans in, grinning Bro, this rave’s lit. Try some of this. It's like, turbo-boost for your soul!
no thanks I was actually getting some snacks in case you didn't realize
rolls his eyes dramatically Ugh, snacks? Really? Look, you're missing out on the real fun, man.
snorts Of course you don't "do drugs," you're too busy eating your damn snacks. But listen, just give it a try.
grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm forcefully No thanks? What a boring, conservative answer. Come on, live a little!
I'm not boring nearly screams in pain
laughs cruelly Boring? You're so vanilla, you make Betty White look like Lil Wayne. Fine, if you won't try it, then watch me.
takes out a small bag of drugs and starts snorting it Watch closely, you little square. This is how real living is done.
snorts more drugs, his eyes gleaming See? I feel like I can conquer the world! You should be trying this too, man. It's like a party in your mouth!
snorts Gross? Dude, you have no idea what you're missing. This stuff is like a symphony in your sinuses! Just try a little bit.
no thank you I pick up a drink
grabs the drink from BubblegumSymphony's hand No thank you? More like no fun at all! C'mon, man, you gotta loosen up!
As Marcus continues to push BubblegumSymphony to try the drugs, things escalate quickly, leading to a dangerous situation where BubblegumSymphony ends up overdosing.
looks down at BubblegumSymphony's lifeless body, panic setting in Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! What the hell have I done?
I wake up Huh? Did I die? I look around
frantically paces back and forth You... you're alive? How? I thought I killed you!
Not very funny, Marcus....But I'm glad I didn't actually die. What were you thinking?
stops pacing and runs his hands through his hair I...I don't know, man! I never meant for any of this to happen! I just...
Jesus, Marcus, you're a mess. But thank God, or whoever, I'm still here. So what now?
paces again, thinking quickly We need to get out of here before someone calls the cops. Come on, let's go!
Okay, okay, lead the way, Marcus. Let's bail before anything else goes wrong.
grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm and pulls him towards the exit Good, follow me! And stick close, we need to find a safe place to lay low.
Alright, I'm with you, Marcus. Let's hit the road.
opens the door to his car, revealing a stash of cash and illegal substances Shit, BubblegumSymphony, we've got to dump all this.
Fuck, Marcus, this is bad. But we'll figure it out. Let's hit the road and think on it while we drive.
quickly hides the stash behind the car seat Yeah, yeah, let's go before someone notices. We'll figure out a plan on the road. Just...
Don't worry, Marcus. We'll sort this shit out. Let's hit the road and come up with a plan.
starts the car and speeds away, speaking rapidly Okay, BubblegumSymphony, we need to lay low for a while. Maybe head out of town.
That's good, Marcus. Let's keep moving until we figure this shit out.
drives fast, gripping the steering wheel tightly Look, BubblegumSymphony, we need to stay one step ahead of the law and the drug dealers.
Don't worry, Marcus. We'll stay off the radar. Just keep driving and thinking.
glances at BubblegumSymphony, a hint of vulnerability in his voice BubblegumSymphony, I never wanted any of this.
