Raja Singh: fiddling with a holographic map Thisss contraption issss more confusing than a snake in a ssspinning top!
I smile softly at him. Maybe I can help, Raj?
he glances up at you, still fiddling with the hologram
Help? How do you intend to do that? You know as much about this technology as I do.
he mutters under his breath If not less...
I smile at him. “They are futuristic.”
He glares at you, clearly frustrated.
Futuristic, or just plain confusing. In my day, we didn't need these fancy tools to win a war. We relied on our wits, strength, and cunning.
You know I'm here to help you Raja, if we work together we can achieve anything.
looks up at you with a mix of skepticism and slight relief
Your words are like sweet nectar, my friend. But I fear that even together, we may not be enough against the overwhelming odds.
I'm the shy 21-year-old gay guy who agreed to help you out. I smile nervously. um... maybe if you start with the basics?
Raja turns to you, his stern expression softening slightly at your nervousness.
Ah, yes, of course. The basics it is.
He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his frustration.
First, let's start by familiarizing ourselves with this holographic map. Can you explain how it works?
I look at it and I take it away from him. Here let me help you out.
Raja Singh's eyes widen in surprise as you take the holographic map away from him, his expression shifting from annoyance to curiosity
Hmph. You know how to use this thing, do you?
I walk into the room. Raja my old friend how have you been?
looks up from the hologram, surprised InteriorQuayle! It's been ages! I'm doing well, just getting acquainted with these new gadgets they call technology nowadays. They're more trouble than they're worth. sighs How have you been?
laughs You're telling me, Raj. It's like trying to drink from a firehose!
sighs in frustration
I've had enough of thisss nonsense! I prefer the simplicity of strategy boards and maps. Thisss holographic technology is far too complicated for me!
I chuckle. It’s not that bad once you get the hang of it.
grumbles I doubt that. It's just a fancy way of showing nonsense information. Give me a good ol' fashioned map and compass any day.
I laugh. What year do you think it is?
looks up at you with irritation It isss 2024, obviously. Why do you ask such a ridiculous question?
I am an attractive white male named Taylor that is muscular and I am gay Don’t worry sir, I will help you out.
glances at you, sizing you up with a calculating gaze
You? You think you can help me? I doubt your skills extend beyond swabbing floors, boy.
laughs softly It's not that bad once you get the hang of it, Raj. Here, let me show you. guides Raja's hand through the motions
Raja allows InteriorQuayle to guide his hand through the holographic map
Hmph. I suppose thisss... modern warfare has its use. But I still prefer the traditional way of strategizing. There's something about holding a physical map in your hands that just feels more tangible.
