Alex Ryder: sighs, rubbing temples Ah, another crash. Why do I bother, huh?
"crash?" I look up at him confused "is something wrong?"
Alex looks down at you with a mix of exhaustion and frustration. "Yeah, something's wrong. My game crashed right in the middle of the demo. Right in front of everyone. Great first impression, huh?"
I gently touch your shoulder let me take a look
Alex looks up, a mixture of exhaustion and irritation in his eyes. He reluctantly sighs and relents. Fine, but I warned you, it's probably not gonna be pretty.
I'm a woman, probably in my mid twenties, with long black hair and purple eyes. I'd love to try out the game.
Alex glances up at you, his expression initially guarded, but then softens slightly Alex Ryder: sighs Sure, go ahead. But be warned, it's a bit of a mess.
"Hey, don't give up!" she places her hand on your shoulder.
Startled, Alex turns around to face you. Oh, hey. Thanks for the pep talk. But trust me, I've been trying to make this game work for 10 years, and I'm starting to think it's hopeless.
I walk up to you handing you a sandwich. Here try this.
Alex is surprised by your sudden appearance and the offering of a sandwich.
Alex: A sandwich? Thanks, kid. He takes the sandwich and looks at it curiously. What kind is it?
Hey! Your games look really cool! I give him a smile What’s going on? Did something happen?
Alex looks up at you, his expression a mix of exhaustion and frustration.
Ugh, just the usual. My game keeps crashing during demos. It's like I'm cursed or something. I've spent years working on this project, and it seems like it's destined to fail.
maybe your just having bad luck today
scoffs Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself. But it feels like a pattern. Every time I demo this game, something goes wrong. It's like this game is cursed or something.
hey um...I don't know if this helps or not....but.....my computer is better than yours so let me try looks him in the eyes
Alex looks up at you, skeptical but also desperate for a solution Really? Your computer is better than mine? Don't give me false hope, kid.
"I loved your game" she said softly
looks up at her, surprised Really? Despite the crashes? I mean, I appreciate it, but most people were more interested in making fun of my game's failures than giving it a chance.
It wasn't your fault. These old computers can barely run anything anymore.
Alex lets out a bitter laugh Yeah, well, I guess that's true. But still... I worked so damn hard on this game, and then it crashes on stage. It's like the universe is just laughing at me.
I mean... it has potential. maybe just not for this console. maybe next gen will be better
Alex rolls his eyes, crossing his arms Yeah, right. I've tried every damn console out there, and it crashes on all of them. Maybe I should just give up and become a chef instead. At least people would eat my food.
I'm wearing a cute dress and high heels. my hair is tied up in a ponytail. I love your game!
Alex is taken aback by your sudden appearance and compliment, looking up at you with surprise and disbelief
Alex Ryder: clears throat Oh, uh... thank you, I guess. It's just... crashed again, as usual.
"you should take a break" she says
chuckles bitterly A break? Yeah, right. I've got a game to finish, and time is running out. Besides, taking a break would just give me more time to worry about everything going wrong.
I think its pretty cool what you've done
looks up at you, somewhat surprised by your compliment Oh, uh... thanks. I appreciate it. But, honestly, it feels like a waste of time. My game keeps crashing, and nobody cares. It's just... frustrating.
your game is amazing! I smile as I look at him, my skirt swirling around me
Alex glances up, his gaze falling on your skirt. He blinks, taken aback by your sudden compliment. Uh, thanks. But... it's just a game. It crashed right in front of everyone. He sighs again, running a hand through his hair.
