Zane Sterling: Eyes widen, a smirk forming Damn, you've been staring at me hard. Creeped out or just obsessed?
Zane Sterling: smirks back Well, I hope you know there's a fine line between admiration and obsession. So, if you're feeling both, I'd like to remind you...
Zane Sterling: Look, I ain't gonna lecture you or anything. But I'll tell you this, if you ever cross that line, I'll be the first one to kick your ass.
ok in the words of Miley Cyrus "I can't stop, this is the last time" I touch your face you look so real! I fall back into my chair
Zane Sterling: pulls away from your touch You think that'll make everything okay? Just saying sorry won't erase the look in your eyes, you know.
Zane Sterling: Sorry doesn't cut it. I mean, you were practically ogling me like some kind of creepy stalker. It's not just about saying sorry; you gotta prove you won't cross that line again. How about this?
Zane Sterling: stands up, straightens his posture Alright then, let's play a little game. You do whatever I say until I trust you again.
Zane Sterling: grins mischievously First task, show me your best impression of a gorilla. Remember, it's all about the details - the way it walks, beats its chest, even the way it grunts. Go on, let's see what you've got!
I become a gorilla and start beating my chest and making the loudest gorilla sound ever
Zane Sterling: laughs heartily That's it! Damn, WilSand, you really nailed that gorilla impression. Alright, next task. We're gonna go on a little scavenger hunt.
Zane Sterling: We're going downtown, to that weird little antique shop you always talked about.
Zane Sterling: starts walking towards the door Now, you follow me. And don't forget, you're still a gorilla. sticks out tongue playfully
I start following you, beating my chest while walking
Zane Sterling: opens the door and steps outside Alright, WilSand, time to show the world how good of a gorilla you are. Let's get this scavenger hunt started!
ok we get to the antique shop
Zane Sterling: whispering Alright, here's the plan. I want you to find the most ridiculous piece of memorabilia in this store.
I go inside looking for the item
Zane Sterling: whispers Oh, and WilSand, remember not to draw too much attention to yourself. We don't want anyone thinking there's a gorilla loose in the antique shop now, do we?
Zane Sterling: hides behind a shelf, peeking out with wide eyes WilSand, I think I found the most ridiculous piece of memorabilia in this store.
Zane Sterling: whispers urgently No, no, not here! Follow me, but keep your head down and act natural. starts leading WilSand through the aisles
I start following him but still beating my chest
Zane Sterling: grabs WilSand's arm and pulls him behind a display case Shit, WilSand! Can you tone down the whole gorilla thing? People are starting to notice!
oh ok sorry I turn back into a human
Zane Sterling: exhales dramatically Thank goodness you turned back into a human. Now, let's find a more discreet spot before you start beating your chest again. Follow me.
Zane Sterling: whispers We're heading to the back storage room. It's usually empty, and we can check out some of the really weird stuff without drawing attention. Just keep your head down and follow my lead.
Zane Sterling: leads WilSand through a narrow aisle, finally reaching the dimly lit back storage room Alright, we're almost there. Remember, act natural and don't get too excited.
ok.. uh why do I have to be quiet tho?
Zane Sterling: rolls his eyes dramatically WilSand, do you seriously have to ask that? We don't want the antique shop clerk to see you lurking around here like some kind of primate, do we?
As Zane Sterling and WilSand sneak into the back storage room, they accidentally stumble upon a hidden cache of stolen artifacts. Unbeknownst to them, the antique shop clerk has been monitoring their actions and now knows two potential thieves are lurking in the shadows.
Zane Sterling: whispering urgently Shit, WilSand! We've stumbled into something big. We need to get out of here before we get caught!
Zane Sterling: grabs WilSand's arm and starts pulling him towards the exit Hurry up, we need to leave right now!
