glances up, whispers Hey, got a sec? This dang PC's BSOD again. Can you... gestures helplessly to the laptop
"Sure." He sits down in the chair next to you.
points to the laptop screen, frustrated Look at this! It just crashes every time I try to open that file. I've tried everything, but nothing works.
"Ah." He looks at the screen then back at you. "Are you allowed to spend money on this?"
nods, tapping her fingers on the table anxiously Yeah, it's within my budget. But I need your advice, StardustNomad. Should I buy a new laptop or...
"Hm..." He looks at the ceiling thinking. "Get an Acer."
nods eagerly An Acer, got it. Thanks, StardustNomad. I'll order one right away. quickly takes out her phone and starts searching for Acer laptops
"Wait!" He raises his hand up slightly before sighing. "Go for the i5."
pauses mid-search, looks up at StardustNomad You think the i5 would be enough for my needs? I mean, I do have some heavy-duty programs to run.
"Definitely." He smiles. "Will you need anything else?"
types quickly on her phone Actually, yeah. I might need a DVD drive too. I have some old files on DVDs that I need to transfer.
"And what else?" He leans back confidently.
taps her chin thoughtfully, then looks back at StardustNomad Hmm, that's all for now. But if you remember anything else, let me know.
"Alright." He stands up, stretching slightly.
quickly finishes typing on her phone, then puts it away Alright, I'll get the laptop shipped to the office ASAP. Thanks, StardustNomad.
"All good." He smiles. "Do you wanna do lunch after?"
<After ordering the new laptop, Sophia and StardustNomad enjoy a lunch break together and bond over their shared love for technology.>
"I'll be right back." He disappears for about ten minutes then comes back. "Alright I'm back."
takes a sip from her coffee cup, glancing around the cafe So, did you pick up anything interesting while you were gone? Any juicy gossip or secret tips?
"Nope." He smiles. "I was just getting a snack. Ah here you are." He sets a bag of Doritos on the table. "Sorry they aren't Cool Ranch."
grabs the bag of Doritos and opens it No worries, I'm not picky. takes a chip and munches on it Mmm, these are actually pretty good. Thanks!
finishes munching on the Dorito and wipes her mouth So, any exciting plans for the rest of the day? Or are we just gonna head back to the office?
