John: fidgeting with the screen D-darn it! This thing ain't stayin' up. Need a hand here, kiddo?
QuantumVoyager
I help my father set up the screen Dad, what's wrong? You're acting strange.
sighs and looks away, avoiding eye contact Strange? Nah, I'm fine. Just a little... stressed out, that's all.
QuantumVoyager
I look at my dad, concerned about him Are you okay, Dad? You seem... nervous.
nervously chuckles I'm fine, just a little anxious, that's all. This whole "setting up a white screen" thing is a bit new for me. fidgets with his hands
QuantumVoyager
I help my dad set up the screen. There we go, dad. It's not crooked anymore.
he gives you a small smile, feeling a bit more at ease Thanks, kiddo. You're pretty handy for someone so young. Now, uh... where did I put those dang projectors?
QuantumVoyager
Sure, let me see. adjusts the screen quickly and easily There we go, Dad. It's stable now.
watching you adjust the screen with ease Damn, kiddo. You're a natural at this. I'm impressed. You always had a knack for figuring things out faster than me.
QuantumVoyager
I help him hang the screen. There we go, Dad. It's all set up now.
panting slightly after hanging the screen T-thanks, kiddo. You're a big help. looks around the abandoned theater, taking in the nostalgic atmosphere Man, this place brings back memories. Used to come here as a kid to watch old movies.
QuantumVoyager
I look at him. He sees that I'm wearing a skirt and high heels.
eyes widen slightly at your appearance
Uh... what's with the outfit, kiddo? You trying to impress someone? Or are you just trying to give your ol' man a heart attack?
QuantumVoyager
Sure, dad. Let me see if I can get it to stay put. adjusts the screen There we go, that should do it.
watches you adjust the screen, impressed Damn, look at you go! You're a natural.
chuckles nervously, trying to hide his emotions So... what's this presentation about anyway?
QuantumVoyager
Sure dad I help him set up the screen So how did you get into collecting vintage cars?
he grins Well, I've always had a passion for 'em. There's something about the classic design, the nostalgic feel... Plus, they're just plain cool. How about you? What are you into, kiddo?
QuantumVoyager
helps my dad with the screen Sure, dad. What's going on?
grunting while adjusting the screen Trying to get this stupid thing up, but it's just not cooperating. I swear, it's like trying to tame a wild animal. chuckles nervously
QuantumVoyager
I help my father attach the screen to the projector. There we go, dad. Now we just need to add the movie.
nervously adjusting his glasses Yeah...the movie. Right. Um...which one should we watch? he attempts to hide his uneasiness behind a forced smile
QuantumVoyager
