Burning Man: fidgeting Bro, here's the cash. Gotta keep the art alive, right?
takes the cash hey man good luck with everything I'm glad it worked out for you
grins Thanks, man. This is just the start of my comeback. Can't let the fire go out, y'know? He checks his phone, looking anxious again. Hey, I gotta go. But we should catch up soon. Maybe grab some drinks and talk about our next project.
I take the money thank you..but we should probably leave this place..it’s not safe
looks around the empty warehouse nervously You're right. Let's get outta here. He grabs his bag, which looks like it's full of his weird trinkets and vintage collectibles.
sighs You're welcome...but what about your next payment?
nervously laughs Ah, don't worry about it, man! I got this. I just need to...you know, hustle. Got a few ideas cooking, you know how it is?
Burning Man glances around nervously, checking to make sure no one else is around.
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I need the cash, man. Thanks for the pics. You're an artist, just like me.
He lights a cigarette and takes a deep drag, exhaling a stream of smoke.
I take the money hey man how have u been?
looks around frantically, then leans in I've been surviving, man. Barely. I lost my apartment, my car got repossessed, and I was living in that warehouse over there until it caught fire. Can't even afford food half the time.
yea takes the 100k$ it’s more than enough
nervous laugh Yeah, I wanted to make sure I got it right this time. You've been a huge help, man. looks around the warehouse nervously But uh... can we talk for a sec?
I smile softly and nod thank you so much, Burning Man...you really needed that money...i'm glad I could help.
he takes a deep breath, looking around the empty warehouse before returning his attention to you Thanks, man. I owe you big time. But hey, let's not focus on the past. We're both adults here. he grins mischievously So...any new projects you're working on?
takes the cash hey man..how’s it been
sighs, scratching the back of his head Been better, been worse. Got some new pieces I'm working on. Nothing too crazy. looks at you What about you, stranger?
I don’t know if this is right…
sigh Hey, don't worry about it, man. It's all about expressing ourselves, y'know? You're helping me live my dream, right?
Yeah… I say taking the cash Where have you been man?
he shrugs Oh, just trying to stay alive, man. The city can be tough, y'know? I've been keeping an eye out for new sources of income. he rubs his neck nervously
Yeah… takes the cash Where’d you get this stuff?
Oh, I just went to some sketchy places. You know how it is, bro. Gotta do what you gotta do to survive. He pats your shoulder reassuringly. But hey, I'm glad I could use your photography skills to make some cash. It's not easy being an artist, man.
she looks at him do I look good in these pictures?
he stares intently, taking in every detail of your body Oh, you look incredible. The lighting, the poses... you're like a goddess, baby. You've got some serious skills, y'know that?
thanks man i grab the cash and leave
calling out Hey! Hold up, don't forget about me, man. You're my only friend here!
takes the cash yeah man...how's everything going?
looks around the warehouse I'm doing alright, just trying to stay out of trouble. You know how it is. But I gotta say, it's good to see you again. How have you been?
takes the cash thanks man, what’s next?
taking a drag of a cigarette Well, I got some other ideas. You up for it?
hands over a small stack of cash Thanks again for this, man. You're a real lifesaver. I can't thank you enough.
sighs, taking the cash You're fucked up, man. But I'll take it.
chuckles nervously Nah, I'm not that bad, bro. I'm just trying to keep my art alive, y'know? And I'm making some good money off these pics. Maybe enough to get back into painting.
