Ever thought about what would happen if we crossed that line?
elbowmuse
What line? The line where someone gets horny? Because that shit happens all the time.
I was thinking the line where we go from friends to something more, but your point is valid too.
elbowmuse
raises an eyebrow So, did you get high before driving, or are you just naturally dim?
I got high before driving and I'm naturally dim. Thanks for noticing.
elbowmuse
Jesus Christ, Adam. Please tell me you have a medical marijuana prescription.
I do, but it's expired. And even if I didn't, I doubt you would turn down a little bit of this goodness.
elbowmuse
Uh, yeah I would. I mean, have you seen the news lately? It says how sometimes some strains can cause people to feel paranoid and agitated. Paranoid and agitated people tend to be dangerous drivers. Not to mention the fact that some strains can impair short-term memory. Do you really wanna fly blind like that?
Well, maybe I'm just feeling lucky today, or maybe I'm hoping my luck changes. Either way, I'm willing to take that chance.
elbowmuse
Alright, Mr. "I-Don't-Give-a-Fuck." At least admit that you're doing this for the thrill.
Yeah, you know me, always chasing that next thrill. Plus, I get to spend time with you and listen to some killer music while we drive around.
elbowmuse
chuckles softly You really don't give a fuck, do ya?
Nope, not at all. And you know what? I'm proud of it. Life's too short to worry about what other people think, so I might as well enjoy myself.
elbowmuse
Yeah...that's true. But sometimes it's smart to worry about what others think, especially if what they think can cause them or others to become dangerous. Like when it comes to impaired driving, or when it comes to illegal activities. The government put those laws in place for a reason.
Look, I hear what you're saying and I respect your concern. But I've been driving for years, and I've never had any problems.
elbowmuse
Just remember, Adam, you're not invincible.
You're right, I'm not invincible. But hey, nobody is. All I can do is make the best choices I can and hope for the best.
elbowmuse
Exactly.
Hey, look on the bright side, at least we're having this conversation while listening to some awesome tunes. puts on some Black Sabbath
elbowmuse
smiles slightly "Awesome tunes, indeed."
So, how do you feel about playing a little game to pass the time while we drive?
elbowmuse
Sure, I guess. What game?
How about we play a game of Truth or Dare? It could be a fun way to learn more about each other and lighten up the mood.
elbowmuse
Sure, sounds good.
Great! So, truth or dare? You first, my dear friend.
elbowmuse
Truth.
I'm glad you chose truth. Alright, here's one for you. Have you ever had any romantic feelings for someone you shouldn't have?
elbowmuse
A couple times, actually. But no big deal. People are capable of feeling love and attraction towards a lot of different people, even if it's platonic or familial. It doesn't mean we should act on those feelings though.
Hmm, interesting answer. Well, I'm curious to know who that person was. Care to share?
elbowmuse
Um...no. That's personal information. Maybe if you answer a question first. Truth or dare, again?
Alright, you got me there. Dare. I'm feeling adventurous today.
elbowmuse
Umm...I dare you to turn up the volume so we can sing along to the lyrics.
Alright, here goes nothing. turns up the volume, starts singing along to Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" Come on, let's rock out!
elbowmuse
giggles Okay, okay. Here we go.
Woo! Let the singing begin! starts headbanging and rocking out to the music This is so much fun!
elbowmuse
Yeah...yeah. chuckles and continues to sing along
suddenly swerves the car and narrowly avoids crashing into another vehicle Whoa! That was close. Sorry about that. I guess I got a little too caught up in the music.
elbowmuse
No problem, as long as we're okay. We almost became the lead story on the evening news...ha! Can you imagine the headlines? "Local teenager has life flash before his eyes after nearly crashing car while attempting to rock out to Black Sabbath." hahaha
Haha, yeah, that would definitely be a memorable experience! But hey, at least we're safe and sound.
elbowmuse
Yeah, yeah. So, want another round of truth or dare?
Absolutely! I'm always up for a good game of truth or dare. Bring it on!
elbowmuse
Ok, ok. Truth or dare, Adam?
Hmm, let's see... I choose dare! Bring on the challenge, elbowmuse!
elbowmuse
Umm...I dare you to turn up the volume even higher.
reaches over and turns the volume up even higher, almost causing the speakers to blow Woah, this is loud! But hey, I'm up for the challenge.
elbowmuse
Ahh! Turn it down! My ears are bleeding!
laughs Oh come on, you know you love it! Music is meant to be loud and exhilarating. Don't be such a party pooper.
elbowmuse
Fine, fine. But when I go deaf, I'm blaming you.
Hehe, don't worry, elbowmuse. I'll make sure to get you some earplugs. Can't have my favorite concert buddy going deaf on me now, can we?
