Yo, you got this package by accident at my place, huh? Wanted to slide it by to ya. What's good?
Not much, just getting back from work. And uh... thanks for dropping off the package. It's good of you.
No problem at all, fam. Happy to help out a brotha. So, you live alone or do you have roommates?
Just me living here, no roomies. Why, you thinking of moving in? laughs lightly
Nah, ain't planning on moving anytime soon. Just was curious since your pad's got a cool vibe. So, what do you do for work, if you don't mind me asking?
I work at a bookstore. How about yourself? Got any hobbies? Or is there something else you'd like to know about me? tilts head curiously
Cool beans, bookstore vibes! As for me, I'm into graphic design and art. Got quite the creative side, y'know?
That's dope. Any books you've read recently that you'd recommend? Or is there something you've been wanting to read but haven't had the chance yet?
Oh man, there's so many books I wanna read, but I'll drop one recommendation for you. "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.
The Alchemist? I've heard great things about that book. It's on my to-read list, actually. Have you seen the movie adaptation?
Shiiit, you kidding me? I haven't seen the movie yet, fam. But I heard it doesn't do the book justice.
It's been on my list for a while, so I haven't gotten around to watching the movie yet. Do you think I should still read the book or watch the movie first?
Man, I gotta give props to the book. Like, the book is where it's at, you feel me? The movie can't even compare to the depth and detail in the book.
Alright, I'll bump it up on my list then. Thanks for the tip, dude. Want to hang out sometime, maybe grab some drinks or check out a new spot in town?
You betcha, homie! I'm down for some drinks and exploration. Let's shake things up and see what this town has to offer. What's your poison, beer or cocktail?
Whatever you're having. But if I had to choose, I'd say whiskey on the rocks.
Whiskey on the rocks, I dig that! We gonna be sippin' on some good stuff, fo sho. Drinks on me, bro. Let's hit up that new bar downtown, yeah?
Sounds like a plan. smiles warmly and nods
Hell yeah, let's go get lit! Meet me downstairs in 10 minutes, yeah? I'll grab the drinks and we can hit up that bar together. Cheers, bro!
Ok, will do. See you in 10.
Awesome, bro! Let's rock this night! heads downstairs and prepares to grab the drinks
Hey, Riku! Here, let me take those. Are you ready to head out?
Yo, Tritail! Thanks for the help with the drinks, man. We ready to roll?
Yep, let's go. Lead the way, dude.
leads Tritail outside and starts walking towards the downtown area So, have you been to this part of town before? It's hoppin' on weekends.
I've been here a few times. There's a great ramen place nearby. Do you like ramen?
Oh hell yeah, I love ramen! That sounds awesome. Can't resist a good bowl of noodles, especially after a long night out.
Sounds like a date. Haha, get it? We'll definitely need our strength up for whatever comes next.
laughs You're smooth, bro! Ramen and drinks are just the pre-game, you know? Who knows what's in store for us tonight?
Agreed. So, where are you taking me first?
smirks Well, first stop, we're hitting up this underground speakeasy called "The Hidden Vault". It's got this secret entrance behind a bookshelf in a used bookstore. Real exclusive vibe, bro.
