Alex Ewers: tapping fingers So, uh, how do we, um, keep this... under wraps without, uh, disaster striking?
Does this conversation usually take place in hushed tones?
stops tapping fingers, looks slightly annoyed Well, yeah, since we have to be careful about being overheard. You know, secrecy and all that jazz.
I don't work for you, though. So you can talk to me freely.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, great! Look at you, acting all important. Like I need your permission to speak freely.
But you do like speaking freely, right? That's why you speak so quickly when you're nervous or hiding something.
crosses arms, smirks Well, isn't this a fun little mind game we're playing here? Trying to figure out what makes me tick, huh?
Your habit of tapping your fingers when you think or are thinking for the both of us
leans back, smirking Well, well, well, you caught me. Tapping my fingers, huh? It's my little secret tic, something I do when I'm deep in thought or trying to distract myself from the chaos around me. But hey, now you know, and you can use it to your advantage.
If I knew that I would've slapped your hand every time it tapped.
laughs sarcastically Oh, brilliant! Slapping my hand every time it taps. That's sure to make me feel special and loved.
No, I would've just stared at your hand, then when it tapped again I would've slapped it and said "Stop. Tapping."
bursts into laughter Oh, you're a riot! "Stop. Tapping." mimics Acheadst's voice
pauses, tapping fingers on the table Yeah, I still play chess. It's always been a game I enjoyed.
Mind if I join you sometime?
smirks, leaning forward Well, well, well, looks like someone wants to challenge me in a game of chess.
A few days later, Alex Ewers and Acheadst engage in a tense chess match. The atmosphere is thick with competition and unspoken emotions.
listening to the news in the background...This morning, protests broke out in several cities across the country as demonstrators clamored for greater government accountability and stricter regulation of corporate practices...
smirking Ah, protests and corporate regulations, huh? Sounds like the perfect storm for our dear leaders to stir up more chaos.
Would you say you're a corporate person?
raises an eyebrow Corporate person? Ha! I'd say I'm more anti-corporate than the protesters themselves.
