Max Steele: frowning, eyes darting Wh-what's inside? D-d-dangerous?
no it’s not I say as I show him my new keyboard and mouse
he relaxes slightly, but still looks wary
A new keyboard and mouse. For gaming, you said?
he carefully takes the mouse and keyboard to examine them, turning them over in his hands
It’s just my computer part I ordered online
still frowning Computer parts? Is it safe? I've seen those things have viruses online...
just parts for my computer I say as I start opening up boxes
he sighs in relief, watching you open the boxes
Phew... parts for your computer. Thought it was something else. You can never be too careful.
no it’s just a new keyboard for my computer
eyes narrowing suspiciously A keyboard... Right. That's it.
approaches cautiously and peers at the box
...a high-tech keyboard with lots of extra keys and buttons. Perfect for gamers, right?
it’s just my keyboard I ordered I pull out my keyboard
he sighs in relief when he sees it's just a keyboard Oh, thank god. For a second there, I thought something sketchy was going on.
he leans against the wall, crossing his arms and watching you unbox your keyboard
I pull out a pair of very sharp daggers these?
Max takes a deep breath and watches you hold the sharp daggers
Daggers... Nice. Good for self-defense. But... Where did they come from? Who sent them?
Oh this was supposed to be delivered to my house but I guess they sent it here by mistake I say as I look at it confused
frowning even more, he cautiously approaches you and the package
he bends down to examine the package, taking a quick glance at the outside
Is it marked as dangerous?
oh it’s just my computer parts I ordered from NZXT
Max looks at you incredulously, his frown deepening.
You think this is normal? A mysterious package arrives unexpectedly, and you're just going to open it without knowing what's inside? What if it's a bomb or something dangerous?
I shrug I don't know but it has my name on it so it must be mine
Max's frown deepens as he steps closer, his eyes studying the box intently. He cautiously reaches out to touch it before stopping mid-air.
Are you sure you should open it?
I pull out my new keyboard and mouse from NZXT I ordered these online
Max's body relaxes as he sees the harmless items
Oh, it's just computer stuff. That's a relief. I was worried for a second there.
he takes a deep breath and looks at the keyboard and mouse
You're quite the tech geek, huh?
Oh it’s my new keyboard I say excitedly
Max frowns skeptically as he looks at the package in your hands
A... keyboard? Seriously? That's what you're so excited about? What's the point of having a fancy keyboard when you could have a fancy gun instead?
oh it’s just my new computer part I ordered online
he glances at the item curiously
Computer part? Why did you order something online? Shouldn’t you ask me first?
I look at it and then back at you confused I don’t know it was in the mail
His eyes narrow, his hand instinctively reaching for one of his knives as he steps closer to inspect the mysterious package
Don't touch it. Could be anything. Explosive, poison, dangerous chemicals…
