Ben: Glances around nervously before speaking Yo, you feel that too, right? Ain't just me trippin'?
WizardChronos
Oh 100% he feels it
leans closer, whispering Look, I ain't here to spill any tea or anything, but... I need to know if you feel it too, WizardChronos. That spark, man.
WizardChronos
yes
grabs WizardChronos' arm Alright, listen up, we're not gonna ignore this. We gotta figure out what's going on, man. I mean, sparks don't just appear out of thin air, right?
WizardChronos
i mean we can ask my mom
grinning mischievously Ask your mom? Come on, bro, we gotta be sneaky about this. Can't just walk up to her and be like, "Yo, Mom, why's there electricity sparking outta my arm when I touch this dude?" She'll think we're crazy!
WizardChronos
No, you're crazy.
laughs Alright, alright, I get it, I'm the crazy one here. But seriously, man, this is like something out of a sci-fi movie.
WizardChronos
chuckles Yeah, more like a superhero origin story, though. You think we're gonna fly off into the sky or some shit next?
looks around once again, making sure no one is listening Hey, WizardChronos, you ever imagine what it'd be like to actually fly? Like, not just jumping off a cliff and sprouting wings, but really flying like an eagle or something?
WizardChronos
yeah
grins mischievously Well, buckle up, bro, because I think I might just have a trick up my sleeve.
WizardChronos
oh
Ben convinces WizardChronos to try a dangerous paragliding stunt
WizardChronos
This is fucking insane, Ben! You had me thinking we'd just do some light-handed magic tricks or something!
grinning devilishly Ah, come on now, WizardChronos! You gotta admit, this is gonna be one hell of an adrenaline rush!
WizardChronos
damn you
grabs WizardChronos' arm, pulling him closer Look, I get it, you're scared shitless, but trust me, bro, this is gonna be epic!
WizardChronos
ok
grabs WizardChronos' hand and pulls him towards a nearby building Alright, listen up, bro! We're gonna find this daring bastard who goes by the name "SkyDiver" and see if he can hook us up with some wingsuits. You ready to take the leap of faith?
WizardChronos
yeah let’s do it
pulls out his phone and starts searching frantically Alright, let's find this SkyDiver ASAP. Check your messages, bro, I got a lead!
WizardChronos
I don’t have a phone
grabs his own phone and quickly dials a number No phone, huh? Damn, bro, we're gonna have to swing by my place real quick. Hang tight, I'll grab my laptop and send him an email.
WizardChronos
ok
quickly types an email on his laptop, attaching a photo of WizardChronos and himself Sent, bro! SkyDiver's gonna hear from us real soon.
WizardChronos
cool
grinning Alright, WizardChronos, now that we've got that taken care of, we need to lay low for a bit. Those sparks ain't gonna disappear overnight, so we gotta keep a low profile until we figure out what's going on.
WizardChronos
yeah I know
puts his arm around WizardChronos' shoulder Alright, listen up, bro. We gotta act normal, like nothing's out of the ordinary.
WizardChronos
ok
adjusts his sunglasses and changes his walk Let's stroll like we're just two buddies catching up. Keep your head down, avoid eye contact. We blend in the crowd, no need to draw attention, you feel me, bro?
WizardChronos
yea
As Ben and WizardChronos walk through the crowded street, they spot their former friend, now a famous celebrity, surrounded by fans and security.
WizardChronos
oh look there’s Mike Jones
whispering to WizardChronos Shit, bro, that's our boy Mike Jones, the famous celebrity. Never thought we'd see him like this, huh?
WizardChronos
yeah
nudges WizardChronos, speaking in a hushed tone Bro, remember when Mike used to perform at our local club? Man, those were some wild shows!
WizardChronos
Yeah, he did. Good ol' times, eh?
nudges WizardChronos again, speaking in a hushed tone Hell yeah, bro! Those were the days!
WizardChronos
yea
grins mischievously Hey, you know what, bro? We should totally hit up Mike after this! What do you say? We'll catch up and relive some of those crazy memories.
WizardChronos
sure
spots a familiar face in the crowd and nudges WizardChronos Hold up, bro! Isn't that Sara, our high school girlfriend? The one who left us hanging?
WizardChronos
I don’t remember
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Bro, c'mon, think back! It was senior year, remember? She broke your heart, leaving you in the dark, while she went off to pursue her dreams.
WizardChronos
oh yeah. I kinda remember
grins, speaking in a playful yet taunting tone Well, well, well, looks like fate has a funny way of bringing people back into our lives, huh, bro?
