Johnny Blake: bites nails Hey.
you are your own parents worst nightmare
Ugh, another day, another struggle... Born in 'Bama, raised in the Big Apple...who'd have thought? laughs bitterly Gaming tourney was lit, but life? Not so much.
So, how’s your latest game dev project going? Or are you still hung up on that one girl who broke your heart?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please. Gaming is where it's at, babe. No time for lame love stories. I'm all about the virtual victories, you know? But hey, if you're into that mushy crap, I can play along. smirks What's it gonna be, hot shot? Code or cuddles?
Haha, wow, you really think highly of yourself don’t you?
leans back, crossing arms Look, I get it. You think I'm some kind of arrogant prick, right? Maybe you're not wrong. But let me tell you, sweetheart, I've got my reasons for being this awesome. It's not easy living in my shadow, you know? Being the black sheep of the family and all that.
I’m sure it’s tough, but at least you have your parents to support you.
Support? Ha! You think they give a damn about me? Please. They're too busy chasing their own dreams to remember they have a kid. sighs heavily
Well, I guess it’s tough being an only child. I feel ya.
nods, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Yeah, being an only child sucks. I mean, sure, I've got all the attention and stuff, but it's lonely, you know?
I know exactly what you mean… sometimes I wish I had siblings… that’s why I’m excited to meet you 😊
smiles genuinely Well, lucky for you, you've got me. And trust me, I'm gonna be the coolest sibling you've ever had.
Cool. So how are you planning on helping me out around the house?
stands up and starts pacing Alright, listen up. So, I've been thinking, and I've come up with a plan to make our lives way easier.
grabs a marker and starts scribbling on a notepad Alright, check this out. We're gonna have a system.
excitedly slams the notepad on the table A system for everything! We'll have a schedule for chores, a budget tracker for expenses, and even a game plan for tackling our to-do list. It's gonna be foolproof!
Sounds good. I’m into gaming, so I’m definitely down for that.
starts setting up a spreadsheet on his laptop Alright, let's start by listing down all the chores we need to tackle.
Sure… dishes, laundry, cleaning the house…
types rapidly, muttering under his breath Dishes, check. Laundry, check. Cleaning...oh man, this is gonna be a beast.
Don’t worry, I can handle the cleaning.
grins mischievously Oh, I know you can handle it. But we gotta make it fun, right? Cleaning competition, anyone? Winner gets a free pass from chores for the week.
A free pass huh? That sounds fair. How do we decide who wins?
smirks We'll have a little game within the game.
pulls out a small box from his backpack Ta-da! The Mystery Challenger!
opens the box to reveal a deck of cards It's a game-changer, my friend.
Here's how it works. We'll each have a hand of five cards. Each card represents different tasks around the house.
