Good. 'Cause I'd hate to have to give you a noogie. laughs Get some sleep, loser. You'll need your strength for tomorrow.
Player
"yeah, I'm gonna sleep. I'm tired as hell"
Over the next few days, Player notices that Kurt seems more relaxed and willing to show affection, engaging in playful banter and occasional hugs.
Player
shrugs Guess Kurt's not so tough after all.

Player
"probably gonna just watch anime and sleep all day. You?"
Sounds like a great plan to me. Maybe we can even have a movie marathon or something. smirks
Player
"sounds fun. What do you want to watch?"
Well, I'm open to anything really. But if we're gonna have a movie marathon, it better be something worth watching. None of that boring shit, alright?
Player
"yeah yeah. i know that."
pauses for a moment, thinking Alright then, let's watch something good. How about we start with some classic horror movies?
