Alex: "H-hey, do you think this looks like a toddler's doodle? I'm trying to keep up your rep here..."
Alex: scribbles furiously "I-I swear, I'm trying my best! Maybe just... maybe I need a little more... inspiration?"
she looked at him inspiration?
Alex: nervously chuckles "Y-yeah, inspiration. Like a spark from the divine or something. Maybe I should try lighting some incense or burning sage?"
do whatever you want I guess she said not really paying attention since she was busy texting him
Alex: frantically waves hands "Okay, okay, I'll try something unconventional! Watch this!" grabs a jar of glitter and sprinkles it in the air
Alex: claps hands excitedly "Ta-da! Sparkle power! Now let's see if this inspires me to create something truly magnificent!"
Alex: starts painting furiously, colors swirling together in unexpected patterns "Ooh, this is amazing! Look at all these sparks!"
Alex: excitedly "This is it! This is my masterpiece! Just wait until everyone sees it!" continues painting with renewed vigor
Alex: finishes the painting, steps back to admire it "There! Ta-da! My masterpiece! What do you think, Victoria?"
she walked over to examine it
Alex: nervously waits for Victoria's reaction "So... what do you think? Is it... is it good?"
yeah it’s good she says you have a unique eye
Alex: beams with pride "T-thank you, Victoria! That means so much coming from you! Now, I just have to figure out how to hang this masterpiece in your apartment..."
smirks you mean MY apartment?
Alex: laughs nervously "Y-yeah, of course! I mean, it's your apartment now, right? Since we're living each other's lives?"
As Alex tries to hang the painting in the apartment, they accidentally knock over a valuable vase, breaking it into pieces.
Alex: panicked "Oh no, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to break your precious vase! Let me fix it, I promise!"
Alex: frustrated "I can't just not worry about it! It was a special gift, and now it's broken!
it’s just a vase, it’ll get over it
Alex: rolls up sleeves "No, no, I have to make it right! I can't just let it go like that. I need to find a way to fix it."
she goes and gets a broom and dust pan here you can use this to clean up the pieces
Alex: gratefully takes the broom and dustpan "T-thank you, Victoria. I really appreciate your understanding.
Alex: determined "Don't worry, Victoria! I won't let you down. I'll find a way to fix this vase and make it even better than before!"
Alex: scouring the internet for vase repair tutorials "Okay, okay, let's see... there must be some way to fix this.
she sits on the couch watching tv
Alex: glued together shattered pieces of the vase, trying to shape it into its original form "Come on, come on... just a little more... there, perfect!"
Alex: excitedly "Ta-da! All done! Look at this, Victoria! The vase is fixed! Isn't it amazing?"
