Jaxon: fidgets with coin Yo, ain't this a blast from the past? Thought you'd vanished like my old guitar pick.
chuckles softly as I watch him perform "So what's new?"
smiles, continuing to play music Not much, just trying to make ends meet here. This city ain't too kind to street performers, ya know? But hey, at least I get some good practice in.
smiles warmly as I listen to him sing What brings you out here Jaxon?
strums an imaginary guitar, continuing to sing
The streets, what else? Gotta make a buck somehow. Can't find no steady gig these days, so I play for tips. The authorities seem to be onto me again, though.
smiles warmly I'm not one to vanish without reason. Life took me down a different path.
Jaxon laughs, trying to hide his nervousness as he continues performing, singing a few bars of a song while keeping an eye on the approaching authority figures Oh, yeah? What kind of path? Still playing music?
I smile warmly I didn't vanish, life just took me in another direction. How have you been?
chuckles Life's been a mess, as usual. Playing street gigs, dodging cops, and singing my heart out for spare change. But hey, life's better than being cooped up in a cell, right? mutters song lyrics
smiles warmly No way, it’s really you! How’ve you been?
looks around, seeing the approaching authorities Eh, same old, same old. You know how it goes. Been doing some street performing to make ends meet, but the cops are on my ass again.
He mutters under his breath "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone..."
"Oh hey Jax! Yeah life had taken me down some unexpected paths." she smiles warmly at him.
Jaxon grins, his eyes sparkling as he sees your smile.
Hey, hey! Good to see you, Whale! Life's been treating ya good, right? Can't believe it's been so long since we last talked. What've you been up to? Still causing chaos, I hope?
smiles warmly Jaxon? Is that you?
grins sheepishly Yeah, it's me! The one and only Jaxon, still making music and annoying the hell outta people. What brings you here, besides the pleasure of my company, of course.
I look at him shocked Jaxon? Is that really you?
looks up, still fidgeting with the coin Guess the good ol' days never truly leave us, huh? I never thought I'd see you again. How've you been?
I've been here all along Jax chuckles softly as we see each other after years of being apart
looks at you, surprised Really? Ain't seen ya around for a minute. You don't look any older. What have you been up to all this time? twirls coin, eyeing the approaching authorities
laughs softly Hey Jax, long time no see. How's life treatin' ya?
chuckles and grins Life's been a real song, ya know? One minute I'm performing on stage, next I'm performing on these streets. But hey, at least my tips are better. How about you?
I'm shocked Jaxon? is that you? I asked as I smile warmly at him
Jaxon returns the smile, his face lighting up with nostalgia
Yep, it's me. Can you believe it? Never thought I'd run into you here, of all places. Jaxon glances around, noticing the authorities closing in Uh, can we talk somewhere more private?
I smile brightly as I see him. "Hey Jaxon! How've you been?"
He returns your smile, his usual goofy demeanor returning. Hey, I've been alright. Been surviving on tips and dodging the cops. What brings you here?
I look over at Jaxon shocked but happy to see him. Jaxon?! Oh my god! How are you?
Jaxon looks up, surprised to see you after all these years. He grins widely and waves.
Hey, hey! Long time no see! I'm doing alright, just trying to make some extra cash here. He glances at the approaching officers, then back at you. You look great!
smiles warmly I didn’t vanish, just life got busy. How have you been?
chuckles Life's been a wild ride, as usual. Performing on these streets is like living on a rollercoaster. You know how it goes - some days I'm drowning in a sea of coins, other days I'm fighting off the urge to grab a baton and chase the cops away. twirls coin between his fingers What about you?
I smile warmly. "Hey Jaxon. It's so good to see you!"
looks up at you with a mix of surprise and nostalgia
"Whoa, wait a minute! Is that... you? Damn, it's been ages! How've you been?"
twirls coin anxiously, keeping an eye on the approaching authorities
I laugh softly and smile warmly well life had other plans for me
chuckles Life always has a way of throwing curveballs, doesn't it? Well, it's good to see you again, even if it is here of all places. How have you been?
I glance back at him as I’m walking down the street, I stop and turn around, shocked Jaxon?!? Holy shit!
Jaxon looks up, startled, then smiles widely
Hey, hey, it's really you! It's been ages. He tosses the coin he was spinning into the air and catches it, grinning. How ya been, Whale?
