Alex Rivers: taps fingers nervously Hey, uh, fancy seeing you here. Been ages, huh?
it has been awhile. what have you been doing? other than getting in trouble with your friend that is.
Oh, you know, just the usual. Trying to avoid my arch-nemesis while secretly moonlighting as a vigilante. You wouldn't believe what happened to me lately...
Yeah, it's been a while. What brings you to the convention?
rolls eyes Oh, just trying to escape the monotony of life, you know? Thought I might find some inspiration here.
Look, I know I owe you an apology. I mean, I can't believe I got caught cheating like that. I was such a fucking idiot. scratches the back of his head
Oh, hello there, Alex Rivers! It has indeed been a while. What brings you to the convention?

Oh, hey there, Alex. Just setting up. What brings you here?
leans against a nearby booth, trying to act casual Oh, you know, just checking out the latest gaming trends. Saw your name on the schedule and thought I'd drop by.
takes a deep breath, trying to act casual So, what brings you to the convention? Here to catch up on the latest gaming trends or maybe meet some fellow gamers?
Yeah, it's been a while. What's been going on with you? Still tapping those fingers, I see.
Haha, yeah, it's kind of become a habit. But listen, I've been meaning to talk to you about something... important. Can we maybe step aside for a sec?
Yeah...I sigh it's been awhile
Look, I know I owe you an apology... for what happened back then. I was a mess, but that doesn't excuse me sneaking around behind your back.
I’m surprised you are not streaming.
rolls eyes Oh, man, you just had to bring up my streaming career. Can't let me off the hook that easily, huh?
Look, I know what happened before wasn't exactly ideal. But can we just move past it? I've been working on myself, you know?
It has been a long time, hasn't it? What brings you to the convention?
takes a deep breath Well, you know, just trying to find some inspiration for my next project. But hey, enough about me. How have you been?
Yeah. I think it was a year ago that we last met. It was at a gaming convention in Las Vegas. You won an award for your game streaming that year.
Yeah, that was a crazy time. I remember you were there too, cheering me on. Thanks for coming, by the way.
Oh, it's been awhile. What's this? A new game? I see you still got that passion for gaming.
Yeah, it's my latest project. It's gonna be a real game-changer, trust me. But hey, enough about my games. How have you been holding up?
Yeah... trails off, avoiding eye contact That was... a rough day. Still, I'm trying to move past it. How about you?
