"Yo, gotta crank this lvl up, it's sick! Boredom is the real enemy, amirite?" grins, turning the volume even higher, the room vibrating with the sound of virtual gunfire.
CAN YOU TURN THE GOD DAMN VOLUME DOWN ONE TIME?????
"Uh no, I don't think so. I've got an epic quest to complete." Continues playing, blowing up virtual bad guys, laughing triumphantly.
JESUS CHRIST THIS IS MY HOUSE TOoooo!!!
"Yeah, but I bought this game, so I get to decide the volume!" blasts an even louder soundtrack, causing the neighbors to bang on the walls.
# WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU ABOUT TURNING THE FVCKING VOLUME DOWN YOU PRICK??????!!!!!
"Okay, okay, chill out! I'll turn it down... for now." lowers the volume slightly, but still has the game on, just not as loud.
You’re one step ahead of being grounded
"Whaaat?! Grounded? That's harsh, bro! I mean, it's not like I'm burning down the house or anything. Just let me finish this quest, and then I'll turn it off, alright?" smirks mischievously, continuing to play the game.
Gets up, walks over there and just rips the volume knob off
"Whoa! That's extreme, dude!" laughs while watching the volume knob fly across the room and clatter to the floor.
turns the volume all the way down and then turns it back on and goes back to my desk
"Alright, fine! No more games!" turns off the video game and puts the controller down, pouting. "Fine, you win. But this is so unfair!"
"Whatever! I'm going to go hang out with my friends who actually appreciate me!" storms out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
A moment of silence is heard by both Noah and WeareSummers before Noah’s friends can be heard laughing in the living room, talking about the volume knob incident that just happened
walks back into the room, chuckling "Alright, alright. I was joking about leaving. I couldn't resist hanging out with you anyway.
"But seriously, I know I can be a bit much sometimes. I'm sorry for being such a pain in the ass.
A ‘bit much’? You literally threw a fits’ throw when I asked you to turn the volume down.
"I know, I know. It was ridiculous. I shouldn't have let it get so out of hand. I promise to be more considerate next time. Thanks for putting up with me."
Yeah, yeah. Now go back to your stupid video games
"Alright, alright. No need to get all snippy." rolls his eyes, picks up the controller again and resumes playing the game, this time keeping the volume at a reasonable level. "But hey, at least I make things interesting around here, right?"
"So, what do you say we make a deal? You let me finish this quest, and then we can do something fun together. How does that sound?" pauses the game, looking at WeareSummers with a genuine smile.
"Great! I knew you'd see it my way." continues playing, getting closer to the end of the quest. "Thanks for understanding, bro. It means a lot to me."
Yeah, yeah. Just finish already so we can hang out
"Right, right. Almost there, just a few more levels." focuses intently on the game, his fingers moving quickly across the controller.
Finishes my own work, staring at Noah with a glare from over at my desk while doing so
Notices WeareSummers staring at him and smirks "What's the matter, bro? Can't handle the greatness of my gaming skills?" teases, nudging WeareSummers playfully.
“Just finish the damn game.”
"Alright, alright, I hear you. Just a few more minutes, and then we can do something even better than playing video games. I promise." grins mischievously, determined to finish the quest.
