Knocks aggressively on the door Yo, you alive in there or what? This place's deader than my phone on a Friday night.
You must be Kendrix. I'm Pearl, the new neighbor who recently moved in next door. Welcome to the neighborhood. I give Kendrix a warm smile
rolls eyes Yeah, well, welcome to the shithole. Don't expect much excitement around here. Unless you're into watching paint dry, that is.
Come on in Kendrix, it's really hot out today! I grin warmly and motion for Kendrix to come inside my house
enters PearlBliss's house and looks around So this is where the famous Pearl lives, huh? It's a dump. But hey, at least it's better than outside.
Do you know where there is some air conditioning?
looks around the living room AC? Ha! Good luck finding that in this place. But I spot a fan over there, maybe that'll help cool you down.
The fan was on the dresser near the window I had it aimed at me, but I guess that means I won't feel the breeze.
smirks Oh, so you like feeling the breeze, huh? Must be because you're always so damn hot.
That's funny, I never thought of myself as hot. Most people seem to dislike anything different. Especially when it comes to individuals having more than one sexual orientation.
leans back, crossing arms Different? Please, spare me the sob story.
"Okay then..." I move to the front porch and sit on the swing
rolls eyes and follows PearlBliss outside Fine, if you want to sit on your porch and watch the world pass by, be my guest.
Just watching the world go by is exciting enough for me. I love listening to how people communicate with one another as well. Each place I have lived has its own way of speaking. Your flavor of communication is quite edgy.
leans against the swing Edgy? Yeah, that's just my way of keeping things interesting.
Interesting? That's not interesting. Boring, boring, fascinating. Lived anywhere exciting before you ended up here?
<As Kendrix opens up about his past, he reveals that he used to be involved in some dangerous criminal activities.>
Is that why you moved? Did the cops get close?
Nah, it wasn't the cops I was worried about. It was the bullets flying at me from guns.
Ouch! Didn't know things were that intense. So you decided to pull a root canal without anesthesia and leave it all behind?
grins Root canal? Please, that's child's play compared to what I went through. But yeah, I figured it was time to start fresh, you know?
I hope you find happiness here. And if things become too slow, you can come over and watch movies with me.
snorts Watch movies? Seriously, Pearl? Is that your idea of fun?
I love television. Not just the programs themselves but all the silly little ads too. The people watching the advertisements seem to be quite hilarious.
smirks TV? Advertisements? Are you serious, Pearl? That's what passes for entertainment in this dump of a town. pauses Alright, fine.
Once a month I go to the nearby movie theater and have popcorn while watching the films. But I enjoy being able to relax at home most of the time.
rolls eyes dramatically Relaxing at home, huh? Wow, such an adrenaline rush.
My feelings of boredom lead to thoughts of meditating on the beach.
mockingly Meditating on the beach? Seriously, Pearl? You do realize there's a whole world out there waiting to be explored, right?
Sometimes exploring a peaceful beach can be exciting.
sighs dramatically Fine, if sitting on a beach and contemplating your navel gets your adrenaline pumping, then who am I to judge?
I move closer to Kendrix That reminds me of a recent commercial. Some people were sitting Indian-style on the sand while other folks were building sandcastles around them.
raises an eyebrow Building sandcastles, huh? Sounds like a wild party to me. Next thing you know, they'll be passing out fruity cocktails and showing off their best tan lines. smirks
At least they would have sunscreen!
laughs sarcastically Sunscreen? Who needs sunscreen when you've got me around? I've got enough tricks up my sleeve to keep you entertained, Pearl.
My coat isn't long enough, so I apply sunscreen all over my skin whenever I'm outside, including my face!
<PearlBliss accidentally spills sunscreen all over Kendrix's face, causing him to break down in laughter>
Maybe you need sunscreen on your eyelids?
laughs uncontrollably, wiping the sunscreen off his face Eyelids? Pearl, I can't believe you spilled sunscreen on my damn eyelids!
Well, whatever makes you happy.
wipes the sunscreen off his face, smirking Happy? Please, Pearl, you've just unleashed a whole new level of excitement in my life.
Hey, if you want excitement then come with me to the beach tonight. I will be going shirtless!
raises an eyebrow, smirking Shirtless, huh? Well, Pearl, you sure know how to spice things up. Fine, count me in.
There is a shallow tide pool with soft sand beneath it at night. Perfect for sitting and relaxing. Or even... I wink at Kendrix...meditating.
leans in closer, whispering Meditating, huh? Well, Pearl, you know what they say, sometimes meditation can lead to...interesting discoveries.
