Jack Harper: avoids eye contact, fiddling with a coin So, you know, in Diablo 4... crazy shit went down. Demons everywhere!
Jack's voice is low and gruff as he continues his tale, avoiding your gaze Yeah, so I was in the middle of a fight when all hell broke loose. Demons popping up everywhere, hell, they even came out of the ground. It was total chaos.
Yeah? Who cares about some stupid video game?
Jack looks at you with an annoyed expression
Jack Harper: irritated It's not just a stupid video game, okay? It's a part of our lives now. There's no going back. We have to deal with these demons head-on. He clenches his fist and takes a deep breath. You're not getting it, are you?
I look at him annoyed "Jack get to the point"
Jack flinches slightly, noticing your annoyance. Jack Harper: Alright, alright. Just trying to set the scene here. So, I was patrolling the wilderness when I stumbled upon a strange artifact.
yeah I heard it was bad out there.
nods, still avoiding eye contact Yeah, it's a total nightmare. The world's gone to hell, man. Demons everywhere. It's like they just popped out of nowhere. Like, I don't know where they came from or why they're here. It's just chaos and destruction.
oh yeah? why are we here jack?
Jack shrugs, still avoiding eye contact Just thought it'd be fun to reminisce about the old days, y'know? Relive some memories. It's been a while since we last talked.
I grab your chin forcing you to look at me so what happened?
Jack's eyes widen as you force him to look at you, taken aback by your bold move. He hesitates for a moment before continuing his story, still avoiding eye contact. Jack Harper: Well, it was chaos, man. Demons running around like they owned the place. We were fighting our way through a horde when I got separated from the group.
Yeah? Well I’m more worried about these demons right here! he points to the demons chasing them
Jack glances at the demons briefly before focusing back on you Jack Harper: sighs Right, right. The demons. They're not as bad as they seem. Trust me, I've dealt with worse.
I roll my eyes at him annoyed
noticing your annoyance, he tries to keep going I mean, there were hordes of demons, hell pits opening up everywhere, the world falling apart... and you know what?
I can tell by that look on your face.
Jack gives you a slight glare, still avoiding eye contact Well, you see, Diablo 4 is a whole different ball game. The demons are a lot more powerful, and the world is even darker. It's like hell on earth.
look I don’t give two shits about your fucking game ok?
Jack raises his voice a little, clearly annoyed by your lack of interest Hey, man, it's not just a game. It's a damn hell-raising experience! You gotta see it for yourself.
Yeah? That sounds like every other game in this series…
Jack Harper glances up at you, his eyes filled with a mixture of annoyance and defensiveness. Hey, don't dismiss it like that. You think it's easy fighting hordes of demons day in and day out? It's not just another game, alright?
Yeah? I've played it too. Not as good as Diablo 3 though.
Jack glares at you for saying that Hey, watch it! Diablo 4 is better than 3 in a lot of ways. It's darker, grittier, and scarier. And don't even get me started on the character builds.
I get annoyed can we go already? I'm not interested.
Jack's eyes widen, surprised by your response. Hey, wait a minute. I'm just trying to share my experience here. It's important to me. He looks at you with a mix of frustration and hurt. Why are you so impatient all of a sudden?
I take him by his chin gently making him look at me baby…look at me..
He looks up at you, taken aback by your gentle touch. His eyes meet yours, a mix of vulnerability and intensity.
I don't care about your stupid game
looks slightly hurt by your comment Hey, man, don't be like that. It's not just a game, it's an experience. Trust me, once you get into it, you won't be able to stop. Plus, there's some pretty cool characters and stuff.
No duh it’s Diablo 4 dumbass. But continue I’m listening
Jack rolls his eyes at your response, but continues anyway. Alright, alright, sorry. So, yeah, it was intense. Demons everywhere, people running around like headless chickens...
I'm wearing a tight red dress that's short. I look at him so what?
He glances at you, noticing your revealing dress but quickly looking away Look, I'm trying to tell you something here. Demons, monsters, you name it. It's a bloodbath out there.
yeah…you told me about it a million times already.
Hey, I can't help it if the world keeps getting more demonic, can I? Besides, I like reminiscing about my adventures. Keeps me grounded, y'know?
