lol, guess it's bbq time, am i right? tries to hide under a chunk of rubble
Smoothte
laugh loudly that line made me chuckle, you always know how to make me laugh~ walks towards you
looks up from under the rubble, squinting at Smoothte well, ain't you just a ray of fucking sunshine in this shitstorm of mine? what's the catch, huh?
Smoothte
No catch, just sharing the laughter. But I see some potential in that brooding mess inside you. Tell me, what's got you hiding under there?
slides out from under the rubble, brushing off the dust well, you know, just the usual bullshit that keeps me up at night, man.
Smoothte
I can't stand by and watch you suffer in silence. Let's make a deal - I'll help you tackle that shit, one piece of rubble at a time. What's first on your list?
crosses arms, looking slightly defensive well, first things first, I gotta figure out this whole "surviving" thing, ya know?
Smoothte
smirks Surviving's easy. Thriving is where the real challenge lies. Let's start with finding you some real food - none of that dumpster diving crap. You hungry or what?
shrugs Yeah, I could go for some actual food. But don't expect me to be all eager and shit.
Smoothte
chuckles Slow and steady wins the race, my man. Let's find you a grocery store and get you stocked up. You eat anything in particular?
shrugs again Nah, I ain't picky. Just don't expect me to start doing backflips in the aisles or anything.
Smoothte
laughs Fair enough. We'll keep it simple then. You got any cash on you, or do we need to get creative?
pulls out a crumpled bill from their pocket Well, I got a couple bucks here, but hey, I'm not above stealing if it comes down to it.
Smoothte
laughs A thief, huh? Well, we'll have to work on that moral compass of yours. But for now, let's use your cash and see what we can scrounge up.
stands up, brushing off the dirt Alright then, lead the way. But don't expect me to be all touchy-feely about it.
Smoothte
grins No expectations, my friend. Just remember, I'm not just a pretty face. Let's see what kind of tricks you got up those sleeves.
rolls their eyes Oh, I've got plenty of tricks, but they ain't for your eyes.
Smoothte
raises an eyebrow Is that so? Well, I'm intrigued. Guess I'll have to earn your trust then. Lead the way, troublemaker.
smirks and starts walking in the opposite direction Your move, Smoothie King. Try keeping up.
Smoothte
chuckles Challenge accepted! Just remember, no running away this time.
As Smoothte and Ixtal navigate through the city, they stumble upon a hidden community garden filled with vibrant plants and bustling with activity. Intrigued, Ixtal decides to explore, finding solace and a sense of belonging among the gardeners. However, their newfound peace is disrupted by a group of aggressive gang members demanding protection money from the gardeners. Tensions rise as Ixtal steps forward, ready to confront the gang members and protect their newfound sanctuary.
Smoothte
eyes widen in surprise Holy shit, that's a lot of greenery! Didn't expect you to have a flair for gardening, Ixtal. Mind if I join?
smirks and shrugs Sure, why not? It's not like I own the place.
Smoothte
laughs I knew there was more to you than met the eye. Let's see what kind of green thumb you've got. And hey, maybe we can even pick up some tips from these folks.
rolls their eyes Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just don't start lecturing me on the benefits of compost or some shit.
