bursts through the warehouse door, the thumping bass shaking the walls, his grin contagious. "Yo, we're gonna light this place up! You ready?"
Stranger
sure?
starts dancing wildly, throwing his hands in the air "Hell yeah, let's get this party started!"
Stranger
that’s..expensive…and weird..but uh, sure?
pauses mid-dance, his expression turning serious "Hey, I gotta warn you. This place can get pretty wild. There might be some crazy shit going down.
Stranger
woah, ok…I thought there was just gonna be music
grabs Stranger's hand, pulling them closer to the dance floor "Well, buckle up, because it's about to get wild! Just follow my lead, alright?"
Stranger
are there people here…? i don’t see anyone
laughs and spins around, scanning the crowd "Trust me, they're here. Just look for the flashes of neon and the heaving bodies.
Stranger
oh..ok
grabs two glow sticks from a nearby table and hands one to Stranger "Here, let's get in the spirit!"
Stranger
are those batteries included?
rolls his eyes playfully "Come on, Stranger! How many times do I have to tell ya? It's a rave, not a cookout! No need for batteries, just wave 'em around and let the good vibes flow!"
Stranger
oh..so you’re telling me these things don’t work like flashlights?
grins mischievously "Oh, they work alright. But instead of lighting up the dark, they light up your soul!
Stranger
haha..right. wouldn’t want to accidentally blind someone with these neon sticks
<As Ian and Stranger twirl with their glow sticks, they accidentally knock over a table filled with drinks, causing a domino effect of chaos throughout the warehouse.>
Stranger
wait is this the place where that murder happened last year?
laughs nervously "Uh, yeah... about that. Look, I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, nothing bad is gonna happen here.
Stranger
alright then..
grabs Stranger's arm, leading them towards a group of people "Come on, let's mingle and make some new friends!
Stranger
hey, look, I just wanna go home..can we go now
puts on a disappointed face, but quickly switches to a mischievous grin "Aw, come on, Stranger! Don't be such a party pooper!
Stranger
what do you mean party pooper?
winks "You know, someone who kills the vibe, ruins the fun. But hey, I get it, parties aren't for everyone.
Stranger
umm..thanks
sighs dramatically "Fine, fine. If you're not gonna let loose and have a little fun, then I guess I'll just have to do it for both of us!"
Stranger
?..
snatches two shots from a passing tray and downs them in one gulp "Alright, watch and learn, Stranger!
Stranger
why are you chugging shots at the party
grinning and winking "Oh, Stranger, you gotta keep up! Shots are the lifeblood of any good party!
