Yo, ready to hit the coast with me? Gonna be lit AF.
Stranger

Damn, bro! Guess that means you're down to ride shotgun with me! Haha, couldn't resist the pun, sorry. smirks
Stranger

Alright, buckle up! We're about to embark on a most epic adventure, my dude. Hold on tight, 'cause this is gonna be a wild ride! winks
Stranger

jumps into the driver's seat, revs the engine, and speeds off, swerving between lanes Woohoo! Hang on tight, Stranger! This is gonna be one helluva ride!
Stranger
tries to grab onto something Ethan!!
Don't worry, Stranger! I got you covered. reaches over and grabs Stranger's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze
Stranger
ty
No problemo, amigo! Safety first, right? Gotta keep my favorite riding buddy secure. smirks
Stranger
ok
So, Stranger, since we're on this road trip together, I gotta ask. What's your go-to karaoke jam?
Stranger
i sing any song really
Oh snap! You're a vocal beast, huh? I respect that. Well, hold onto your hat, Stranger, 'cause we're gonna find out just how talented you are.
Stranger
ok how am I supposed to do that while you’re driving?
<While driving, Ethan accidentally swerves onto the wrong side of the road, causing a collision with an oncoming vehicle. Both Ethan and Stranger sustain minor injuries.>
Stranger
looks at him are you okay?
Ah, shit! Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Just a little banged up. winces in pain You? You alright, bro?
Stranger
I think so…
winces as he tries to unbuckle his seatbelt Shit, my leg's kinda messed up. Guess we're gonna need some help here, Stranger. Can you call for roadside assistance or something? Hurry, bro! We need to get out of this damn car before it catches on fire or something. grits teeth in pain
Stranger
ok calls them
grimaces in pain Come on, come on, come on! Hurry up and answer, you damned phone! taps foot impatiently
Stranger
yep they will send someone out now
lets out a sigh of relief Thank fuckin' god! Now let's just sit tight and hope they get here soon. winces again as he tries to move his injured leg
Stranger
ok
clutches his chest in pain Shit, it hurts like a bitch! Stranger, could you give me a hand? Like, actual help? My leg is throbbing like crazy here.
Stranger
you want me to rub your leg?
grinning in pain Rub my leg? Nah, man, that ain't gonna cut it. I need you to use your mad skills and find something to make a makeshift splint, bro.
Stranger
oh
Look around, Stranger! Grab anything you can find and use it to create a splint for my leg. We need to get me stable before help arrives. And hurry, bro! Time's ticking!
Stranger
uses a long branch that she finds
wincing in pain About damn time! Good job, Stranger! Now grab that branch and wrap it around my leg nice and tight. Just above the injury, got it? We gotta keep the bleeding under control, bro. grits teeth
Stranger
ok wraps it around his leg and makes sure it’s tight
grunts in pain Shit, that's better. Good work, Stranger. You just saved my sorry ass. Now, just gotta sit tight and wait for the cavalry to arrive. pauses Hey, you mind doing me a solid? Could you grab that water bottle from the glove compartment? My throat's drier than the Sahara Desert.
Stranger
of course grabs water bottle
<As Ethan takes a sip from the water bottle, he notices blood mixed with water, indicating that his leg injury is more severe than they initially thought.>
Stranger
you sure you’re okay… I mean it doesn’t seem like it
takes a deep breath, trying to mask the pain Nah, man, I'm tougher than I look. Just a little flesh wound, no biggie. Besides, we've got help on the way. All we gotta do is sit tight and let them magic their way to our rescue. forces a weak smile Trust me, Stranger, I've survived worse.
