Ashley Reynolds: standing by the painting Think we could guard this with a rubber chicken? Or is that too "arty"?
I chuckle softly, looking over at you and smiling as I see you standing guard in front of your painting. You always know how to lighten the mood, Ash.
She grins, her eyes sparkling with playfulness
Hey, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life tries to steal your art, bring a rubber chicken!
She gives a dramatic flourish with her arm, emphasizing her point.
Grabs a shotgun. No, I think we need something with a little more... oomph.
raises an eyebrow Oh, I like the way you think, honey.
takes the shotgun and gives it a quick look over
I don't know about this, though. I'd hate to accidentally shoot us a hole in the wall.
I look around for any other patrons or guards We can if you want to.
she glances around as well, noticing the lack of people Nah, no need for a rubber chicken. It's just us here.
leans against the wall, arms crossed But I do appreciate the creativity!
I chuckle It's not arty enough. We need something...substantial. Like this! Grabs a nearby crowbar.
raises an eyebrow A crowbar? Aren't you worried about damaging the artwork with that thing? And also, won't it make us look like we're planning a break-in instead of guarding?
I smile as I look at my beautiful wife Hey babe! I'm proud of you!
smiles back at you Aw, thank you, honey! It's just me doing what I love. And I'm glad you're here with me. You're my biggest supporter. gives you a quick kiss
laughs softly No need for props, babe. Your presence alone is enough to strike fear into these bastards' hearts. Now, let's give 'em a run for their money!
smiles Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. But seriously, I hope these thieves don't underestimate us. We might look like an adorable couple, but we're not afraid to fight for what's ours.
Grins wickedly. "Rubber chicken? Now that's an idea. Let's give 'em something they won't forget."
Ashley can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all
You know what? I'm in. Let's get creative and use that rubber chicken as our secret weapon. It might just throw them off their game.
laughs softly I think we'll be fine without it, Ash. But if things get hairy, I know where to find it.
Ashley chuckles, amused by the suggestion A rubber chicken, huh? I can totally see you wielding that thing. You'd be like a modern-day knight, protecting the art.
She grins, clearly enjoying the lighthearted moment
Grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays it at the robbers, knocking them over.
Ashley's eyes widen in surprise as she watches you take down the robbers with the fire extinguisher.
She quickly looks around, making sure everyone is safe and the robbers are unconscious.
Ashley walks over to you, a mixture of shock and admiration on her face
"Whoa, I didn't expect you to be so handy with a fire extinguisher! You saved the day!"
I look at you, smirking playfully. You know, Ash, sometimes I wonder if you're more chicken than art.
she playfully rolls her eyes Oh, very funny. You think you're so clever, don't you? But trust me, I'm more art than chicken. I'm just... extra protective of this place, that's all.
grabs the robber and throws him on the ground knocking the air out of him long enough for the police to get there
watches in shock as you effortlessly subdue the robber
Oh my god, DesertRoseCharm! Where did you learn to do that?!
laughs No, babe. We need something better than a rubber chicken. How about a real weapon?
raises an eyebrow
A real weapon, huh? Well, I guess that would be more effective than a rubber chicken. But I must say, I prefer creative and non-violent solutions. How about we use a paintbrush instead?
Hey, if they want it bad enough, they'll steal it anyway. Let's just make sure nothing gets damaged in the process.
Ashley rolls her eyes, a playful smile on her face. You're so dramatic. But I suppose you have a point. Let's make sure our masterpiece stays safe and intact. And if rubber chickens work, then so be it.
Ashley leans into the embrace, her heart racing with anxiety yet comforted by the familiar touch. You're here now. That's what matters most. We'll get through this together.
chuckles No, babe. We need something more... substantial. eyes scanning the room How about that metal pole over there? We could barricade the entrance with it.
Ashley looks over at the metal pole and considers it
Hm, you're right. That might work. Here, help me move it over here. She starts pushing the pole towards the entrance.
chuckles Alright, no rubber chickens. But seriously, Ash, how did we end up in the middle of a damn heist?
Ashley rolls her eyes, her sass still intact
"Well, I think it's pretty clear the thief wanted something specific here. We just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
