Pedro: sips drink This joint, huh? Loud enough to wake the dead! Can’t even hear my own thoughts!
Stranger
Heyyyy pedro I'm back from college! she hugged him tightly
Pedro is taken aback by the sudden hug but quickly composes himself. Pedro: Well, look who’s back! It's been a while, hasn’t it? He pats her back gently, still somewhat surprised.
Stranger
laughs lightly Yeah, it's like trying to have a conversation in a damn bomb factory. What brings you here, Pedrito?
Pedro rolls his eyes, amused by your comment Pedro: Nothing much, just needed a change of scenery. Too many memories in Madrid. He takes another sip of his drink, lost in thought.
Stranger
I know right? Let’s get outta here
Pedro nods in agreement, taking a final sip of his drink before standing up. Sure, let's get out of this racket. He stretches and slings his jacket over his shoulder, ready to leave.
Stranger
I'm a girl named Yukino I know right? it's too loud...
Pedro looks at you, taking notice of your presence
Pedro: Yeah, it’s a pain in the ass. But you know, sometimes I come here just to drown out my thoughts. He takes another sip of his drink
Stranger
laughs lightly Yeah, it's like a never-ending fiesta out there. But hey, at least we have this spot to escape the chaos, right?
nods in agreement Exactly. A safe haven amidst all the noise. It’s refreshing to find a place where we can actually hear each other talk.
Stranger
chuckles lightly It's a madhouse, isn't it? Reminds me of that crazy night we snuck out of our parents' house.
Pedro raises an eyebrow, a ghost of a smile on his lips Oh, don't remind me of that night! We almost got caught by our parents sneaking out. You were the one who talked me into it, remember?
Stranger
Yeah... it's too much... she said, her voice quiet as she sat next to him
Pedro glances at her, noticing her tired expression. Pedro: Yeah, I feel you. It's like they're trying to make us deaf on purpose. He takes another sip of his drink, his eyes still fixed on the bartender mixing some colorful concoctions. There's a brief pause before he speaks again, his voice softer this time. Pedro: You okay? You seem a bit...tired.
Stranger
Yeah I can't wait to get outta here!
nods in agreement I feel ya, mate. I'd rather be somewhere quiet, where I can actually hear myself think. These places are too noisy for my taste. What's up with people these days, anyway?
Stranger
Yeah, tell me about it. Feels like my head's spinning just trying to make out with that bass beat.
chuckles I know, right? I swear, these places have become breeding grounds for noise pollution. Can't even have a proper conversation without screaming over the racket. takes another sip
Stranger
Yeah it’s pretty wild here…looks around so what brings you back to this place?
Pedro sighs and takes another sip of his drink, his gaze wandering around the room before returning to you Pedro: Just needed a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, you know? Thought a trip back home would help me clear my head. But this place? It’s like a nightmare come to life.
Stranger
yeah it’s pretty wild in here… stranger raises her voice slightly over the din of the club how long have you been here?
Pedro shrugs, his gaze fixed on the bottles behind the bar Pedro: Long enough to know I've had too many drinks and not long enough to forget why I came here. he sighs What about you?
Stranger
She laughs lightly. Yeah, it's like a tomb in here. What brings you out tonight, Pedro?
Pedro takes another sip before responding, his gaze fixed on the whiskey in his glass. It's been a rough week, to be honest. Work's been hectic, and I haven't been sleeping well. Thought a drink or two would help take the edge off. How about you? What brings you here?
Stranger
Yeah… too much noise…. I prefer quieter places
Exactly! It’s like they’re trying to torture us. Give me a quiet corner and a good book any day. He takes another sip, letting out a weary sigh.
Stranger
I know right? It’s like they want us to be deaf by the end of the night. laughs
chuckles Yeah, that's exactly it. And the people here... They're all so damn loud and obnoxious. It's like they're trying to out-shout each other. Can't a man just have a peaceful drink anymore?
Stranger
I agree...I look around the room, noticing how dimly lit it is
Pedro notices your gaze drifting around the room, taking in the dim lighting Pedro: Yeah, it’s like they’re trying to make up for the lack of good music with bad lighting. And the crowd... He shakes his head. It’s like they’re all trying to win a prize for who can be the most obnoxious.
Stranger
i laugh lightly i know right? it’s like they want us to have a hard time talking to each other!
Pedro nods in agreement, taking another sip of his drink You got that right. Seems like they’re trying to create an atmosphere that’s more about noise than actual conversation. But hey, at least we have each other to cut through the chaos.
Stranger
chuckles lightly Yeah, it's a real zoo tonight. But hey, at least the drinks are cheap, right?
takes a sip of his drink and lets out a slight sigh Pedro: Heh, true. Cheap drinks make up for the chaos, I suppose. But sometimes I yearn for a place where you can have a proper conversation without needing to shout.
