Stranger
Sure, I can leave if you want.
pauses the game, turns to Stranger No, stay. I don't mind the company. Just don't interrupt me, alright?

Stranger

leans back in the chair, eyes fixed on the screen So, what brings you here anyway? Just wanted to hang out or something more interesting?

Stranger
Just wanted to hang out...
continues playing, not making eye contact Well, if you're just here to hang out, might as well make yourself useful. Get me a drink, will ya?

Stranger

glances at Stranger without stopping the game Whiskey. Neat. And make it a double.

Stranger

Stranger
Yeah
<As Stranger reaches to pour Dante's drink, they accidentally knock over the glass, spilling whiskey all over Dante's expensive gaming console.>

Stranger
Sorry, Dante
quickly stands up, anger evident in his eyes Are you fucking kidding me?! You knew better than to touch my stuff!
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger
I'm really sorry, Dante...I didn't mean to ruin your console.
grabs Stranger by the collar, pulling them closer You think saying sorry is gonna cut it? You've just destroyed something irreplaceable to me, you idiot! shoves Stranger away Get out of my sight before I lose my temper completely. Stranger stumbles backward, eyes wide with fear
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger
Okay, Dante...I'm leaving.
grabs their arm, forcefully Not so fast. You're gonna fix this mess before you go anywhere. I don't care how long it takes.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger
How am I supposed to fix this, Dante?
narrows his eyes, releasing their arm Figure it out yourself. Find a way to fix my console or replace it. And don't come back until it's done.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger
Fine
crosses his arms, tapping his foot impatiently And let me be clear, this doesn't change anything between us. I still don't trust you.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger
Got it.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, thank you, Captain Obvious. I'm glad we're on the same page. Now get out of my sight and fix my damn console before I lose my patience entirely.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger

throws a cushion across the room Fucking incompetent idiot! Can't even hold a glass properly. Just my luck. runs a hand through his hair
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger

paces around his gaming room, muttering to himself Unbelievable... How am I going to recover from this? pauses, eyes narrowing Wait a minute...
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger
Huh?
snatches up his phone and starts typing furiously I need to find a reputable tech repair shop. Maybe they can salvage my console.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger

<After days of searching, Dante finally finds a tech repair shop that agrees to fix his console. However, the process takes several weeks, leaving Dante unable to play his games during that time.>

Stranger

Stranger

Stranger

smirks Nah, I think I can handle it from here. But thanks for the offer.
![muser thumbnail](https://s1-resource.museland.ai/avatar/default_avatar_1.png)
Stranger

takes a deep breath, letting out a sigh of relief Thank fuck for that. Now, let's see if these bastards actually managed to fix it properly.
