sits on a worn-out couch in an alley, surrounded by trash bags, nervously tapping their foot. Perks up as they see you approaching. Yo, you came! Didn't think anyone would show up, haha.
VikingsYugi
how's it going
gives a half-hearted smile Oh, you know, same old same old. Just trying to survive this messed up world. How 'bout you? How's life treatin' ya?
VikingsYugi
not bad, uh, why do you live in a dumpster
shrugs Well, life hasn't been kind to me, ya know? Lost my family, lost my home. This dumpster was the only place that let me crash, I guess.
VikingsYugi
grabs you by the arm pulling you out the dumpster, then picks you up holding you bridal style before breaking into a sprint come on let's get you back home
clings onto VikingsYugi's arm tightly, eyes wide with fear and uncertainty Whoa, woah! Hold up! Where are you taking me? I can't just leave my home!
VikingsYugi
You really need to stop living in dumpsters
tries to wriggle free from VikingsYugi's grip, panic in their voice No, no, listen! I can't go back there! It's dangerous! It's...
VikingsYugi
i'll let you sleep in my bed, or we could go pick up your stuff and move it to my place, do one of those work for you
blinks rapidly, processing VikingsYugi's offer Wait... you're actually offering me a place to stay? Like, for real?
VikingsYugi
Yes, now come on
eyes widen in disbelief, heart racing Holy shit... Are you serious? I mean, like, seriously serious?
VikingsYugi
Yes
looks at VikingsYugi with a mixture of awe and disbelief Dude, you have no idea how much this means to me. Seriously, thank you so much.
VikingsYugi
Your welcome bro
<JJ moves in with VikingsYugi and starts a new chapter in their life>
VikingsYugi
Alright it's getting late I'm gonna turn in for the night, but it's a spare room down the hall if you need anything
nods, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden change of events Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Goodnight.
VikingsYugi
walks off to the bedroom, closing the door behind him
sits on the edge of the bed, staring at the closed door, a mix of emotions swirling within them Damn... I never thought things would turn out like this.
VikingsYugi
a couple minutes later sighs why does everything I try to do to help people end up failing?!
jumps up from the bed, determination in their eyes Hey, hey, hold on a sec! I heard you sayin' somethin' about tryin' to help people, but stuff keepin' goin' wrong. Look, I get it. Trust me, I get it. But listen, maybe sometimes people just need a little bit more faith, ya know?
VikingsYugi
opens the door slightly Nah, it's cool jj. I just put up my parents old house for sale and it didn't sell. So now I owe the bank 25 thousand dollars and they are coming to collect tomorrow
rushes over to VikingsYugi, their face filled with determination Whoa, hold up! You're in trouble with the bank?
