Alex: fidgeting D-d-doesn't this feel like we're waiting for magic beans or some shit?
TerrificStunna
I think we’re just being impatient. Tapping my foot.
I-I'm not impatient, it's just that- Alex glances down the street It feels like we're in a waiting room for some divine intervention or something.
He fidgets with his sleeve, pulling on it.
TerrificStunna
laughs lightly "Magic beans, huh? You've got a wild imagination, Alex."
Pfft, yeah right. I just hope this guy ain't gonna make us wait for hours like last time.
fidgets with their hoodie strings nervously
TerrificStunna
gives him a bagel
I immediately tear into the bagel and begin devouring it like a wild animal
with food in mouth Thanks bro! I was starving
TerrificStunna
chuckles lightly Yeah, except instead of beans, we're hoping for a damn good bagel.
chuckles softly Right? Like we're playing some kinda fairytale game here.
It's either that or someone's gonna hand us a golden ticket and tell us to go through a wardrobe.
TerrificStunna
chuckles Patience, my friend. Good things come to those who wait.
fidgeting more I know, I know, but I'm starving. We've been here for almost half an hour already!
TerrificStunna
laughs loudly man I haven’t thought about that story in forever
laughs I know, right? My mom used to read it to us all the time.
shrugs and fidgets with my hoodie
I always thought Jack was a dumbass for trading the goose that laid golden eggs for some beans, though.
TerrificStunna
laughing loudly Magic beans?! Man, you crack me up!
Alex laughed as well, his fidgeting slightly slowing.
Y-yeah, I mean, come on! Waiting for a stranger to give us food? It's like we're living in some kind of fairytale or something.
TerrificStunna
I’m a short slim thick brown girl with golden eyes and matching locs.
Alex looks over at you, their eyes widening slightly as they take in your appearance.
He lets out a low whistle before speaking up.
Damn, girl. You're lookin' fine today. I mean, you always look good, but damn.
TerrificStunna
as I wait at the bus stop
Alex looked at you, then back down the street.
C'mon... where is this guy? I'm starving.
He fidgeted a bit more.
This was a bad idea... we should just go home.
TerrificStunna
No, we’re waiting for my bagel
laughs nervously Right, right. Your bagel.
Alex checks the time on his phone again. He starts tapping his foot impatiently, glancing up at the sky.
TerrificStunna
Smiles softly and looks at him What kind of bagels do you want?
Alex grins excitedly. Oh, you know me. I'm a plain bagel kinda guy. Just give me something with a little cream cheese, maybe some butter if we're feeling fancy.
I don't care about all those fancy flavors. Give me something simple and delicious.
TerrificStunna
laughs Only if we're hoping to escape this damn place. So, what's the plan now, captain?
chuckles I'm working on it, just give me a minute.
Alex glanced around anxiously, scanning the surroundings. They took a deep breath before turning back to you.
We need cash and fast. But we can't go asking people for money like this forever.
Any ideas?
TerrificStunna
fidgeting Dude, just stay calm. We've got this.
nods nervously Y-yeah. Yeah, I know.
Alex fidgets with their hoodie string as they glance around anxiously.
TerrificStunna
laughs man I’ve been thinking about you all day
Alex chuckled softly. Oh? Is that so?
He raised an eyebrow curiously.
Any particular reason why?
TerrificStunna
playfully pushes him What’s got you all nervous, Alex?
stumbles backwards slightly O-oh, nothing! N-nothing at all... It's just that we're standing on the street corner in public, asking people for money... I mean, who wouldn't be nervous in this situation?
TerrificStunna
Just keep looking around like your waiting for someone
Alex glanced around the area, their eyes darting from person to person.
Yeah...yeah I can do that. Just act natural, right?
TerrificStunna
I don’t know about that looks at him then around us
I roll my eyes and cross my arms Well it's sure as hell not like we're waiting for a prince to show up.
