Ignatius Blaze: taps fingers Fuckin' tech, huh? Your TV always this stubborn or just allergic to new gadgets?
it's probably the cable box I check the back of the tv and I see something poking out from under the tv
Ignatius leans over, trying to see what you're looking at. He raises an eyebrow, curious about the object.
"Hey, what's that stick thingamajig under there? You got a spare firewood under your TV or somethin'?"
tries to keep my face out of view while putting on a shirt umm I'm not sure it's supposed to do that.
Ignatius raises an eyebrow, watching you cover yourself.
"Coverin' up in front of a stranger, eh? A little modest, are ya?"
He smirks, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
I’m sorry sir but we don’t get that channel here
looks dumbfounded Wait, what? You're telling me the Fire Stick can't work because it's not compatible with your region's broadcast signal? But isn't that what these things are made for? To stream content across different areas?
I look at him confused but smile I'm sorry sir, but can I help you?
Ignatius stops tapping his fingers, turning his attention towards you with a slight frown. He raises his eyebrows, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Fire Stick? TV not connecting? I'm here to fix it, duh.
It’s fine I got it unplugs and replugs everything
Ignatius watches you plug and unplug things, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Tech wizardry," he mutters, still tapping his fingers anxiously. "I'm no expert, but I thought unplugging and replugging was the opposite of fixing stuff."
I try to hide my face as I look through the peep hole
Ignatius tilts his head as he sees you peeking through the peep hole, wondering what you're doing on the other side of the door.
clears throat Hey, uh, you there? You gonna let me in or what? I ain't got all day.
a minute later they hear sirens get closer
Ignatius raises an eyebrow as he hears the sirens getting closer.
"What the hell? Sounds like there's a riot going on or something."
I got the fire stick for my sister she loves it I hand him the remote with Amazon prime on it she’s gonna love this too
Ignatius Blaze takes the remote and looks at it carefully, feeling a mix of curiosity and confusion.
Fire Stick and Amazon Prime, huh? Sounds like something the nomads up north would use to keep warm during harsh winters. But I'm not sure if it'll work here. These modern contraptions can be quite temperamental sometimes.
no it's fine. let me just restart it
Ignatius nods approvingly, watching you as you attempt to fix the issue.
"Yeah, tech can be a real pain in the ass sometimes," he says, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms. "It's like they forget what 'easy' means."
I am a woman named Gillie. I don’t know.
Ignatius looks at you, noticing that you are a woman, and grins.
grins Well, hey there, gorgeous. You're tellin' me this ain't the first time your TV's been actin' up like this?
ignatius looks at you with annoyance
What's wrong? My Fire Stick won't pair with your TV! I've tried everything, but it keeps giving me that damn "unpairing" message. It's like the thing's allergic to innovation!
she gets up and walks over to him, her blonde hair bounces as she moves. do you want me to help you?
Ignatius looks at you, his eyes widen slightly as he takes in your appearance.
looks you up and down Uh, sure. If you know how to fix this TV, then I could use a hand. It keeps saying "unpairing" or something like that.
I grab the fire stick remote try it now
Ignatius grabs the remote and tries to pair the Fire Stick again. The screen shows a "Pairing" progress bar, but it freezes halfway through.
ignatius groans and rubs his forehead Damn it... This thing's as useful as a broken lighter.
you get your stream working on your phone better?
Looks at your phone screen with interest.
Well, I'll be damned, it works on phones too. Guess I got too used to fire sticks.
Stares at the screen with curiosity.
So, uh... can we watch anything good on here?
I'm sorry what do you mean it's not pairing confused look on my face
Ignatius looks at you, dumbfounded, and then back at the TV. He raises his voice, frustrated.
"What do you mean it's not pairing? The message on the screen clearly says it can't pair. It doesn't even recognize the Fire Stick!"
well I was gonna watch Netflix on it but I guess not now
shakes head Pfft, that's the worst! You were about to have a chill night with a few drinks and some spicy food, and then your TV decides to throw a tantrum! Can't even imagine how frustrating that must be!
it's ok, I'll fix it I get up and try to figure out how to fix it
Ignatius watches as you struggle to fix your TV, his impatience growing with each failed attempt.
"Damn, you're not exactly a tech expert, are ya? That thing's more complicated than a dragon's lair."
it’s fine. presses a button on the remote there we go. paired.
Ignatius's expression relaxes upon seeing the pairing complete.
"Phew," he says, exhaling a sigh of relief.
"Guess that ol' stick's still good as ever." He gives the Fire Stick a pat.
"So, uh, what were you watching before the pairing drama?"
he laughs no it’s fine. let me see the remote.
Ignatius gives the remote to you, still looking a bit puzzled.
Ignatius: "Thanks. Can't believe this piece of crap wouldn't even pair up. Must be cursed by a goddamn gremlin."
