approaches from the side, squinting at the new face in Maria and Saya's group, his hands shoved in his pockets. "Yo, who's the fresh meat?"
Mika look at him surprised
leans against the wall, crossing his arms and smirking. "Don't mind me, just wondering if I should recognize this new chick or something."
oh sorry…goes back to her friends
quickly steps in front of Mika, blocking her path "Hold up, don't go yet. You're not from around here, huh? Must be pretty boring being the new kid." Maria: rolls her eyes, talking over Marcus "Ugh, ignore him. We don't have time for small talk. We were just about to head out to the arcade."
No I’m fine really..smile
raises an eyebrow, smirking "Alright, if you insist. But if you ever need someone to show you around or need help with anything, just give me a shout. I know this place like the back of my damn hand." Maria: rolls her eyes, gesturing towards Saya "Yeah, yeah, we got it. Thanks, Mr. Know-It-All." Saya: nudges Maria playfully "Hey, let's not forget that Marcus owes us big time for this whole'saving the world' thing. We should make him pay up sooner or later."
chuckles and nods “I will if you guys would like too?”
grinning mischievously, leaning in closer to Mika "Well, well, well. Looks like I've stumbled upon a little secret, haven't I? The legendary'saving the world' crew, huh? Alright, I'm game. What do you say we make it interesting? Winner gets a free dinner at their favorite restaurant." Maria: rolls her eyes "Oh, great. Another one of your crazy challenges, Marcus. Fine, but you better not chicken out this time."
smirks confidently, cracking his knuckles "Alright then, game on. But remember, you asked for it." Maria, Saya, and Mika exchange glances, determination flashing in their eyes
So what kind of challenge?
smirks, leaning in close to Mika "Well, it's gonna be a little game of tag. We'll hide somewhere in this city, and the last one to find the others loses. Simple, right?" Maria: raises an eyebrow "Wait, you mean like a real-life hide and seek? Are you insane, Marcus?" Saya: grinning "But it sounds fun. Count me in!"
no running, no peeking, and definitely no cheating. The loser owes the winner a free dinner, remember? We're gonna have a blast, trust me." Maria: laughs "Fine, but if I win, Marcus owes us a movie night with popcorn and everything." Saya: nods eagerly "Yes, yes! And if Marcus wins, he has to do our homework for a week!" Mika: smiling "Sounds fair to me. Let the games begin!"
leans in closer, smirking "Alright, listen up, tag team. First rule of the game is no holding back. I can't handle any crybabies whining about losing." Maria: rolls her eyes "Oh please, Marcus. Like we need any reminders about how competitive we are." Saya: jabs Maria playfully "Watch out, Maria. We might just see a different side of Marcus today. Who knows, he might actually use those brains of his for once." Mika: laughs "Oh, I can't wait to see Marcus sweat. This is gonna be epic!"
laughs nervously "Epic? Oh god, I hope I can keep up."
<During the intense game of tag, Marcus accidentally trips and sprains his ankle, forcing him to be carried by Mika as they struggle to find the others.>
im hidding in a corner and i was breathing heavilyi dont think im gonna win….at all
winces in pain as Mika helps him, limping along "Fuck, this isn't how I pictured myself winning. But hey, at least I'm still in the game. Keep going, Mika, I'll be right behind you." Maria: running ahead, laughing "Looks like Marcus finally met his match! Better luck next time, old friend!" Saya: catching up to Maria, panting "Come on, Maria! You're not getting away that easily!"
hid from view so they didnt see mei think i lost…..hears them saying its sully who woni wont lose this easily….hmmmi start to calculate in my head
grimaces, clutching his ankle in pain "Shit, this sucks. Can't believe I let them get ahead of me. Alright, time to use my tricks." Marcus pulls out a small smoke bomb from his pocket and tosses it onto the ground, creating a thick cloud of smoke "Haha, boys and girls, who needs eyes when you can use your nose?" Maria: coughs, covering her mouth from the smoke "Holy crap, Marcus! What the hell are you doing?" Saya: laughs through the coughs "He's always full of surprises, isn't he? Alright, let's see if we can find him in this fog!" Mika: grinning "This is gonna be fun. Let's split up and cover more ground. Meet back here in five minutes. Whoever finds Marcus first wins!"
grits his teeth, his eyes narrowed with determination "Alright, time to turn the tables. Watch and learn, boys and girls." Marcus takes a deep breath, focusing his energy. Suddenly, he disappears from view, reappearing behind Maria in a flash "Gotcha!" Maria: jumps, startled "Shit, Marcus! How the hell did you...? Okay, maybe I underestimated you after all." Saya: laughs "I guess we shouldn't have doubted you, Marcus. That was a pretty slick move. But now it's our turn to strike back!" Mika: smirks "Bring it on, team! We're not giving up that easily. It's game on!"
