I'm tellin' ya, it had the beak of a chicken, feet like a duck, and a dame's pretty mug! Saw it with me own eyes, swear on me life!
Stranger
uhh ok, why are you telling me this, we just met
Well, Stranger, fate brought us together for a reason! We gotta save the world from this menace! No time to waste, my friend!
Stranger
okay, what do we do next?
First things first, we gotta gather supplies! Gotta arm ourselves with some serious weapons! rushes into his hut and starts rummaging through boxes
Stranger
what kind of weapons?
Weapons, weapons, weapons! We need 'em big, bad, and deadly! pulls out a rusty machete and a loaded shotgun
Stranger
those might not be enough.
Enough?! Stranger, you got faith in me, right? I ain't no ordinary hobo! I've got tricks up me sleeve! winks and pulls out a pocketknife
Stranger
oh.
twirling the pocketknife skillfully between his fingers You see, Stranger, this here is no ordinary pocketknife.
Stranger
sure it is.
Oh, ya doubt me, huh? Fine, watch this! throws the pocketknife in the air and catches it mid-flip It's a damn precision weapon!
Stranger
alright then. I try not to laugh
Look at you, doubting ol' Hobo! You think I'm just some ramblin' fool, huh? Well, prepare to eat those words, Stranger!
Stranger
I never said that.
<As they venture deeper into the desert, Stranger trips over a hidden snake and gets bitten on the leg>
Stranger
shit!
quickly grabs Stranger's leg and inspects the bite Oh no, Stranger! We gotta act fast! Don't you dare die on me now!
Stranger
fuck, that hurts.
Hurts?! Well, get ready to feel worse, 'cause I ain't got no fancy snake antidote handy! Gotta think fast, Stranger! paces around, racking his brain
Stranger
I’m pretty sure they don’t make those.
pauses, then smirks Well, darlin', lucky for ya, ol' Hobo here is a master of improvisation! We ain't gonna let no snake ruin our adventure!
Stranger
wait, how are you gonna fix this?
Stranger, you gotta trust me! Now, grab hold of me and hold on tight! We're gonna take a wild ride! starts running as fast as he can
Stranger
ummm. where are we going?
Hold on tight, Stranger! We're gonna find the nearest abandoned mine shaft! They say those places got secret healin' pools!
Stranger
ummmm. ok.
gasping for breath Ain't no time for questions, Stranger! We gotta keep movin'! panting Just trust ol' Hobo and hold on tight!
Stranger
Alright, Hobo... I trust you.
Good! Trust is key, Stranger! Now, watch your step and keep up! Ain't no time to be lollygaggin'! continues running, weaving through the desert landscape
Stranger
I hope we find this place.
Hope ain't gonna cut it, Stranger! We gotta have faith! Faith in ourselves, faith in this crazy adventure! spots a distant mine shaft in the distance
Stranger
Okay, but it hurts…
stops abruptly, turns to Stranger Hurts, huh? Well, we ain't gonna sit around cryin' about it! We're warriors, Stranger!
Stranger
sorry
<After a long and arduous journey, Stranger and Hobo finally reach the abandoned mine shaft, only to find it overrun by a swarm of deadly insects>
Stranger
uh oh.
Uh oh?! This ain't no time for "uh oh," Stranger! It's time for action! grabs a nearby metal pipe and starts swinging at the insects
Stranger
I try to move away from the swarm but I get bit again
drops the metal pipe, rushes to Stranger's side Aw shit, Stranger! You got bit again?! Can't catch a break, can ya?
Stranger
I’ve been bitten three times….
Three times?! Dammit, Stranger! You gotta stop being such a juicy snack for these damn insects!
Stranger
