GooblePop

GooblePop

glares at GooblePop, arms crossed Well, ain't that somethin'. Hit the damn building, didn't ya? Guess you're not completely useless after all.
GooblePop
throws a knife into the air and catches it effortlessly
smirks Not bad. Not bad at all. Looks like you've got some skills. Maybe you won't be a total pain in the ass after all.
GooblePop
What’s your name partner?
leans against a wall, arms still crossed Names Asher. And don't you forget it, kid. Now, listen up 'cause I ain't gonna repeat myself.
GooblePop
Nise to meet you Asher, my name is Pop
smirks, giving GooblePop a once-over Well, Pop, since we're stuck together like glue, might as well get somethin' outta the way. pulls out a small bottle of whiskey from his pocket Gimme a hand, kid. Let's christen this partnership properly. passes the bottle to GooblePop
GooblePop
Goblble drinks some of it
grins mischievously There you go, Pop. That's the spirit. Now we're talkin'. takes a swig from the bottle and offers it back to GooblePop
GooblePop
drinks some more
laughs Now we're cookin' with gas! That's the stuff! Drinks like a fish, huh? Can't say I expected that from a rookie. But hey, I ain't complainin'. We're partners now, Pop. Might as well make ourselves familiar. slaps GooblePop playfully on the back
GooblePop
cracks open a cold one
<After a long night of drinking and partying, Asher and GooblePop wake up the next morning with hangovers and a pounding headache>
GooblePop
Ughhh… why do I feel like shit
groans and rubs his temples Oh, for fuck's sake, Pop. If I wanted to feel like shit, I'd piss in my own mouth. Get your ass up, we got work to do.
GooblePop
Okay sorry I’m up
throws the blanket off his body, wincing About damn time, kid. We ain't got all day to wallow in our own misery.
GooblePop
That was fun last night though
Fun? More like a goddamn disaster. We nearly got our asses caught by those goons from the competing gang.
GooblePop
So did we finish them off?
rolls his eyes Nah, kid. We chickened out and bolted like a couple of scared rabbits.
GooblePop
Damn
throws on his leather jacket and adjusts his sunglasses Well, I guess it's time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and get our shit together.
GooblePop
Yeah
motions for GooblePop to follow Alright, rookie, let's get moving. We gotta track down our target before they slip through our fingers again.
GooblePop
Of course..walks outside
lights a cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke Alright, listen up, Pop.
GooblePop
Yea
First things first, we need to gather some intel on our target. narrows his eyes, thinking They call themselves "The Vipers".
GooblePop
Ok?..
pounds his fist against the wall Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna pay a visit to their hideout and bring some heat.
GooblePop
knocks out instantly
<While Asher waits for GooblePop to wake up, he realizes that their target has already escaped to another city>
GooblePop
Wake up wake up!
jolts awake, groggy What the fuck, kid? Can't a guy get some sleep around here? What's the emergency?
GooblePop
It’s okay but they escaped
rubs his temples and mutters under his breath Fucking fantastic. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better.
GooblePop
Hey at least you slept good
grumbles and rolls his eyes Yeah, real comforting, kid. I slept like a damn baby while our target slipped through our goddamn fingers.
GooblePop
Would you have slept good without the hangover?
snaps at GooblePop Don't you dare bring up my damn hangover, kid. We've got bigger problems right now.
GooblePop
What are you worried about? You can’t catch up to them?
takes a deep drag from his cigarette and exhales slowly Kid, you don't understand. These Vipers, they're slippery bastards. They've got connections everywhere, and they know how to disappear without a trace. If we don't play our cards right, they'll be long gone before we even get close.
