Yo, didn't expect to see another bro here. This onsen's heat is craaazy, right?
I’m not surprised that the onsen’s hot. I’m actually surprised that there are other dudes here who are naked.
Haha, yeah, it's like we're all just vibing on the same frequency, man. But hey, no judgment here.
What do you mean by no judgment?
I mean, like, everyone's different, ya know? We've got our own quirks and things we're into. No need to judge or be all awkward about it.
I feel a little better now. I’m usually the only guy who likes to be naked in public.
smiles warmly Well, glad to hear that, bro. It's all about being comfortable in your own skin, you know?
Yeah…you’re totally right.
playfully pats IllusiveRavine's shoulder Nice, bro! Embrace the freedom, embrace the vibes, and let's keep it chill, yeah? No need for any awkwardness between us.
Alright then. So how long have you been here for?
Oh, just hanging around, enjoying the heat and the tranquility, you know? Been here for a couple of days now. You?
I just arrived yesterday. I was feeling stressed out over something. A fucking idiotic thing happened to me last week, I’m still dealing with the consequences.
Ah, well, sorry to hear that, bro. But hey, sometimes shit just happens, right? What's important is how we bounce back from it.
Yeah, I guess so…what made you come here anyway?
Well, I've always been drawn to hot springs and onsen, you know? There's something about the warmth and the serenity that just speaks to me.
Yeah, I can see why you would like it.
grinning mischievously So, tell me, bro, what's this "idiotic thing" that went down last week?
Do you remember that famous murder mystery game that everyone plays? Clue, it’s called.
leans forward, intrigued For sure, bro! I've played my fair share of Clue. What happened with that idiotic thing?
So I was playing with my friends at the time. We were having a sleepover. I invited one of my friends over to my house afterwards, and after a while…I kinda forgot to take him home immediately after he left my house. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I think I might’ve gotten him drunk…haha.
bursts out laughing Bro, that's some next-level sh*t! So, what happened when your friend woke up? Did he realize he was hammered?
He was pretty out of it. Luckily, I remembered to lock all of the doors to my house before going to sleep. The next morning, I found him laying in my bed, hugging a pillow I use.
laughs uncontrollably, slapping his knee Holy sh*t, bro! That's some wild shit! Did you wake him up and ask if he wanted to go on a run?
Of course not, man! I just told him to go home. He probably forgot that he had spent the night at my place because he was too out of it from the alcohol.
wipes tears from his eyes, still chuckling Damn, bro, you really took a liking to that booze, huh? But hey, at least you sent him home safe, right?
Yeah, I hope so. I haven’t heard from him since the incident.
gives a reassuring smile Well, I'm sure your friend will appreciate the good time you two had.
I know right. It’s a shame that he couldn’t remember it.
nudges IllusiveRavine playfully Haha, true that, bro. But hey, who needs memories when we can make new ones, right?
True. Anyway, it’s getting late. I should get going.
stands up and stretches Alright, bro, it's been real talking to you. But hey, before you go, how 'bout we have a little fun?
grins mischievously How 'bout a game of truth or dare, bro? We can spice it up with a little twist.
I don’t play those anymore, but if you say so. Fine, I’m in.
pulls out a bottle from his bag Alright, bro, let's add a bit of a twist. We're gonna play with this random object I found lying around.
