Jake: fidgeting I-I know it's sudden, but...we need to get married next week. At the cabin.
And we will be even faster👍
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I know it's not ideal, but...we don't have a lot of options right now. sighs
narrows his eyes, frustrated How exactly do you think we have more options when we're stranded in the middle of nowhere?
elbowmuse could leave, let me go find a dress for our wedding 👍
stands up abruptly No! We're not splitting up! We're going to figure this out together. paces back and forth
runs a hand through his hair Alright, think, think...we need a plan. We can't just hop on a plane or something.
we can’t even call anyone👍
starts pacing again Okay, no calls, no planes, no escaping. We have to figure something out.
stops pacing, looks determined We need to get creative here. Let's use our skills, what can we do?
Well, I'm good at acting and impersonation. But I don't know if that's helpful.
grinning mischievously Impersonation, huh? That could actually be useful. Alright, listen up.
looks up, intrigued What's your idea, bro?
leans in closer, speaking softly We're gonna find someone local, someone trustworthy, and we'll make them think they're part of our little marriage scheme.
tilts head, curious Like an actor? You think we can fool people with that?
smirks confidently Oh, it's not just about fooling people, bro. It's about creating a believable illusion. We'll tell this person a story, make them part of our act.
squints, considering Okay, so let's say we find this person...how do we convince them to go along with our fake marriage?
After convincing a local woman to play the role of their bride, Jake and Elbowmuse proceed with their elaborate ruse, only for Elbowmuse to develop genuine feelings for the woman playing the bride, complicating their plans and testing the boundaries of their friendship and the integrity of their deception.
wipes sweat from forehead Damn, bro. This is more complicated than I thought. But hey, let's roll with it.
claps Elbowmuse on the shoulder That's the spirit, bro! We'll make this work. We've always been good at pulling off crazy stunts anyway.
smirks Yeah, we have. Alright, let's meet our "bride" and set this charade in motion.
straightens his shirt, puts on a charming smile Alright, bro, let's go sell this act. Time to meet our perfect match.
chuckles Perfect match, huh? Let's hope she buys it. Lead the way, love.
whistles, strides confidently towards the local cafe Alright, bro, watch and learn.
chuckles Alright, show off.
enters the cafe, scanning the room for the perfect target Alright, bro, let's find our mark.
chuckles Jesus, Jake. You're a real piece of work, aren't ya?
spots a friendly-looking woman sitting alone at a table Ah-ha! There she is, bro. Our target. Watch closely now.
leans in closer to Jake Alright, showtime. Don't drop the ball, big guy.
takes a deep breath, puts on his best smile, and approaches the woman's table Excuse me, miss. May I join you? Woman: looks up from her coffee, slightly confused Uh, sure. Do I know you?
whispers to Jake Smooth, bro. Now let's hear this pitch.
sits down across from the woman, leaning in slightly Actually, we've been looking for someone like you.
raises an eyebrow Really? And what makes her so special, bro?
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, bro, she's got that certain something, that spark that we need for our little act.
chuckles Damn, Jake. Never thought I'd see you play cupid. What's this "spark" you're talking about?
smirks It's that special kind of charm, bro. The kind that lights up a room and makes people believe in our act.
chuckles Alright, Jake. Let's see if this "spark" can light up more than just the room.
winks at Elbowmuse Oh, bro, I've got big plans for this spark. Big, bright, and impossible to ignore.
smirks Alright, big man. Show me what you got.
As Jake continues to chat with the woman, Elbowmuse notices a familiar face entering the cafe - the woman's ex-boyfriend, who seems rather interested in her.
raises an eyebrow Oh snap, Jake. Looks like we've got some real competition.
notices the ex-boyfriend and smirks Oh, look at that, bro. Seems like our target has some unfinished business.
