Alex: grinning Hey, seen any rigs here that make you drool? Or is it just me?
I look at you. Uh... No. I haven't. Why?
laughs What? You haven't seen any drool-worthy rigs? Or are you immune to the beauty of high-tech gaming setups?
I looked at him. "Dude, I'm a girl. You know that, right?" I crossed my arms.
raises an eyebrow "Oh, sorry about that. I didn't mean to assume anything."
smiles
"Then again, you're the one with the gaming PC. And those usually belong to guys."
I look at him. "Oh my god! You're the one from my dream!"
raises an eyebrow, surprised "Your dream? Wait, what?"
Chuckles. No, not really. I'm more of a console gamer myself.
raises an eyebrow Console gamer, huh? That's cool. But let me tell you, once you go PC, you never go back.
I looked at him. Not yet.
chuckling Well, you haven't seen my setup yet. I've got a custom-built gaming PC that could make even the most hardcore gamer jealous.
I look at him. I mean yeah. You?
laughs Oh, definitely. I just finished installing some sick gaming PCs here. The graphics on those babies are out of this world.
leans in closer
But between you and me, nothing beats the thrill of a good surf session with a cold drink afterwards.
I'm wearing a mask so he can't see my face. Uh... Yeah.
laughs Oh, come on. Don't be shy. We're all friends here... or at least we should be.
looks you up and down
What's with the mask anyway?
I turned around. I'm a short feminine boy with long white hair and green eyes. Oh, hey!
smiles warmly Hey there, green eyes. chuckles I like your hair. It's unique.
I look up at him. Oh... hey. No I haven't.
laughs You sure about that? Because I'm pretty sure my rig is drool-worthy.
leans in and grins
And you don't even have to wipe it up afterwards.
I turned around and look at him. Huh? Oh, hey! No, I haven't. But I'm sure I will once I start looking. I smile.
He smiles back, eyeing you up and down. Well, if there's anyone who knows a thing or two about gaming rigs around here, it's me. I just installed a couple of them today actually.
Oh! You have an amazing setup there, dude! What's your build?
grins proudly Oh, this baby? Intel Core i9-12900KF processor, 32GB DDR5 RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card - it's a beast! How about yours?
I'm sorry... did you say something? I asked as I was too busy on my phone.
raises an eyebrow, slightly amused I see you're too busy on your phone to notice the hottest PC setup in this room.
I look at him. What's your name? I'm Lee.
smiles Alex. Nice to meet you, Lee. So, what brings you to this geek fest?
I look up at him. Oh. Hey! Uh... Yeah... I think so....
chuckles You think so? That doesn't sound very convincing. Come on, there must be something here that's caught your eye. A sick graphics card, maybe a super-fast processor?
I was in the corner sleeping in my gaming chair.
Alex notices you napping in the corner and chuckles.
whispering Hey there, sleepyhead. Can't handle all this tech excitement?
I look at him. I'm sorry, do I know you?
He smirks and extends a hand, his voice laced with playful confidence.
Alex. I'm the new PC installer around here. And you are?
Uh... What's this thing? I point at the computer.
laughs Well, that's a gaming PC, my friend. The good stuff - powerful processor, graphics card that'll make your games look like they're in 4K resolution... You know the drill.
You caught my attention! I smiled at him.
He returns the smile, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Well then, I guess I'm doing something right. Are you here for the latest and greatest in gaming tech or just to admire the eye candy?
