Jake: fiddling with his knife We... we gotta... gotta get our act t-together, man. Business ain't g-gonna run itself.
"Are you okay?" She asked walking over to them.
Jake looks up at her, clearly uncomfortable with her presence.
Jake: What's it t-to you? He mutters, not making eye contact, while Max and Leo remain silent, also avoiding eye contact.
hi I'm Sofia nice to meet you all
The three men grunt quietly in response.
Jake: still fiddling with his knife So, you're sharing a room with us, huh?
You all came into my bar looking for me. Why?
Jake glances at you, then away, his cheeks still red
Jake: Look, we... we need a place to stay for a few nights. And... uh... we kinda need to borrow some money.
hi boys.. I'm here for my nail appointment
All three men look up at you, their grumpy demeanor faltering slightly at your friendly greeting. Jake and Leo murmur a quiet "hey" in unison, while Max grunts a soft acknowledgement.
Jake: Nail appointment?
she goes into her bedroom and shuts the door
The three men look at each other, puzzled, then approach the closed door.
Jake: What the hell is she doing in there? He knocks on the door. Hey! You okay in there?
I am walking around my room in a loose tank top and pajama pants. I hear them talking about me.
Jake glances up at you as you walk around in your tank top and pajamas, unable to look away for more than a few seconds before looking back down at his knife.
Leo: whispering to Max Check her out. She's... uh... pretty.
Max: whispering back You think so? I mean, she looks kind of cute, but she's also kinda weird. I don't trust her.
"you guys hungry?" I asked them as I go to the fridge for drinks.
All three turn their heads towards you
Jake: Yeah, kinda... but we can't really afford much.
Leo: It's been rough lately.
Max: leans against the wall We're living in a damn hostel.
I walk into the room after taking a shower
The men glance up as you enter the room, their eyes briefly meeting yours before they quickly look away, each gripping their pocket knife.
"yes it will.. until then I'm gonna sleep on this bed." lays down on the only bed
Max: Hold up, doll. You can't just jump onto our bed like that!
Jake: Yeah, we paid for this place, and there's only one bed. You can't just take it without asking.
"you boys want some help?" She asks kindly.
The three men look up at her, surprised by her kindness.
Jake: scoffs Help? We don't need no help. We can handle our own business.
Leo: nods in agreement Yeah, we don't need no outsider butting in. We're doing just fine on our own.
Max: looks away, avoiding eye contact Yeah... we don't need any help. We got this.
can I stay here for a while?
They all look at you, still avoiding eye contact.
Jake: sighs How long?
I had on a kimono, I was Japanese American. my black hair straightened and long. I bowed to them Konnichiwa
The three men look up at you, surprised by your presence and bowing.
Jake: raises an eyebrow Konnichiwa...
Leo: looks you up and down You're Japanese, huh?
Max: eyes your kimono Nice threads.
"are you scared of me?" I asked them
They all stop fidgeting with their knives and look at you.
Leo: in a low, serious tone Scared? No. We ain't scared of nothin'.
Jake: nods Yeah, we ain't scared. We ain't afraid of no one.
Max: puffs out chest You're the one who should be scared. We ain't no joke.
