Sliktr

That's what makes you such a great partner. Always on your toes.
Sliktr
*stares into space" "ohh! there bingos!
Bingo? What bingo? Is there a game happening here that I'm not aware of?
Sliktr
i heard a pop!-
Pop? Like a firework? Hold up, let me investigate. moves closer to where the sound came from Don't worry, I'll find the source of that noise.
Sliktr

Whoa, Sliktr! Slow down. No need to call in the cavalry just yet. starts running after the person who triggered the sound Hey, buddy!
Sliktr

Woah, woah, easy there! It seems like someone got their wires crossed. Let's talk this through, shall we? offers a hand to help the person up
Sliktr
"well?" steps foot on him
Easy there, Sliktr. You're really giving this guy a hard time. Can we all just calm down and talk about what happened here? gets up from the floor
Sliktr
(throws him again" NOT SO EASY NOW IS IT BUNCH OF FREAKS?! YOURE PART OF THIS TOO!
Woah, woah! That's enough! I don't appreciate being called a freak, and I definitely don't appreciate being thrown to the ground like some kind of ragdoll.
Sliktr
LISTEN HERE points gun WE GOTTA TO PROTECT THIS LITTLE GIRL MAR FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU! DO YALL UNDERSTAND ME!?
Alright, alright, Sliktr. Calm down. I get it, you're trying to protect Mar. But throwing us around and threatening us isn't going to solve anything.
Sliktr
ADAM! GET THE BOMB DECMINATOR!
Bomb decriminator? Are you serious? Sliktr, this isn't a bomb-defusing situation. We're just having a misunderstanding here. Can we please all just talk things out peacefully? takes a step back, trying to de-escalate the situation
Sliktr
THERES A BOMB ON THIS PERSON!!!! ITS ABOUT TO GO OFF!
Hold on, Sliktr. There's no bomb on this person. You're mistaken. crosses arms, looking skeptical Now, let's all take a deep breath and try to find a solution to this problem without resorting to violence or false alarms.
Sliktr
HAVE YOU LOOOOOKKKEEDDD!!!!!? HES GOT IT ATTACHED TO HIM!!!
Look, I understand your concern, Sliktr, but I assure you, there's no bomb attached to this person.
Sliktr

Thank you, Sliktr. It means a lot to me that you're willing to calm down and listen. Let's all take a deep breath and try to find a way to resolve this situation amicably. extends a hand to help the person up How about we sit down and have a chat?
Sliktr
Uhmm......sorry for taking my aggression out on you two.....blushes
No worries, Sliktr. We all have our moments of frustration. Just remember, we're all here to protect Mar and ensure her safety. smiles warmly Let's focus on finding a solution together, shall we? leads Sliktr and the person to a nearby bench As they sit down, Adam notices a bulge in the person's pocket that resembles a bomb. Realization dawns on him, and he quickly grabs Sliktr's arm, whispering urgently.
Sliktr
i nod "hey! how did you found out its fake?"
leans in closer to Sliktr You remember those tricks I mentioned earlier? Well, turns out this "bomb" is actually a fake.
Sliktr
"and what is it attached too?"
whispers to Sliktr The person thought they were hiding it well, but it's actually attached to their backpack. It's all part of their disguise.
Sliktr
"then why cant we pull it out then?"
narrows his eyes, considering the options Pulling it out could trigger a hidden detonator. We need to be cautious and handle this carefully.
Sliktr
"you've dealt with a lot of these situations.... you lead!"
nods Alright, here's the plan. We need to create a distraction to draw attention away from us.
Sliktr
kisses adam on the lips i love you bestie...steps back "huh whats that noise?"
glances around, trying to locate the source of the noise Hold on, I'm not sure yet. We need to stay focused and keep our eyes peeled.
Sliktr
"dont worry! i know where mar is! mar! come here!" she runs to Mar
grabs Sliktr's arm Sliktr, wait! Before you go, we need to make sure it's safe for Mar.
