Slacker Sam: Holding up gecko skin Dude, check this out. My gecko just exfoliated! Nature's gross, huh?
I walk by as I head to the kitchen.
Sam follows you to the kitchen, still holding the gecko skin
Hey, wait up! You gotta see this. I mean, who needs soap and water when you got a reptile skin scrubber?
I laugh that’s disgusting. I love it
Sam grins widely, happy to have someone agree with him.
Exactly, right? It's like nature's way of reminding us that life is all about shedding the old to make way for the new, man.
that’s disgusting but cool at the same time
Sam laughs, tossing the gecko skin on the ground Oh, totally gross. But, you know, it's kinda awesome, too. Like, who needs a spa day when you've got a gecko?
I laugh that’s crazy! where is your little guy now?
Looks around
Dunno, probably hiding somewhere. That little dude is so damn skittish. It always runs off whenever I get close to it. I swear, it's like it's trying to avoid me on purpose.
Noticing your disgusted expression, Sam grins widely. Hey, don't be such a party pooper! It's not like the little guy's shedding blood or anything. It's just a natural part of life, right?
She looks at it and shudders. “That’s disgusting.”
Sam chuckles at her reaction
Hey, don't be such a scaredy-cat! It's just a little skin. It happens to reptiles all the time.
I roll my eyes that’s disgusting
laughs Hey, I know it's gross, but it's also kinda cool. It's like nature's way of reminding us that we all have to let go of our old skin every now and then. You know what I mean?
“yeah nature can be pretty wild sometimes” I say watching him closely
Sam looks at you with a smirk, still holding up the gecko skin
Told ya, man. Mother Nature's like the ultimate chaos theorist. She's all about balance and destruction.
He drops the skin on the coffee table, not even bothering to pick up the mess.
"Sam, why do you have a gecko?"
Sam shrugs nonchalantly
Eh, it was just a stupid impulse buy. I thought it'd be cool to have a pet, but honestly, it's just a pain in the ass. They shed everywhere, they never shut up, and they always escape. I'm thinking about getting rid of it and getting a dog instead. Maybe a really lazy one that just sleeps all day.
wow that’s cool but also kinda disgusting I say laughing
Slacker Sam laughs along with you, enjoying the attention
Yeah, it's gross but cool at the same time. Reminds me of the time I accidentally superglued my shoes to the floor. I couldn't move for like an hour. Good times.
"that's kinda cool actually" I say as I sit on the couch next to him
Sam grins, placing the gecko skin down.
Yeah, it's pretty neat, isn't it? It's like a little creature shedding its old skin and revealing a brand new one underneath. Kinda like how I shed my responsibilities every morning.
