Alex: fidgeting with keys H-Hey, uh, are you... enjoying the convention?
Wallace
i laugh you look like a kid in a candy store
blushing What, uh, what gave it away? laughs nervously I just... really love comics, y'know? The art, the stories, the characters... they're just so awesome!
Wallace
yeah it’s pretty cool…I smile
smiles back, still fidgeting with keys That's good, I-I'm glad you're enjoying it. Alex looks around at the various comic book vendors. So, uh, have you found any good comics yet?
Wallace
Yeah! I love coming here! I’ve been looking forward to it all week. How about you?
Alex lets out a small chuckle, still fidgeting with their keys Me too. I've been planning my day here for weeks. I've got a whole list of panels I want to check out and some rare comics I'm hoping to find. Alex glances over at you, then back down at their keys S-So, uh, what kind of comics do you like?
Wallace
I'm a male with black hair and red ruby eyes. I'm muscular and taller than Alex. I'm wearing a black hoodie and ripped blue jeans. I'm doing fine, Alex.
Alex's eyes widen as they notice your muscular physique and tall stature.
Alex: O-Oh, hey there! U-Um, nice hoodie... and jeans... Alex quickly looks away, feeling slightly flustered, and continues fidgeting with their keys.
Wallace
yeah! i smile
Alex lets out a sigh of relief, their shoulders relaxing slightly. Alex: Good, good. Glad to hear it. They continue to fidget with their keys, clearly still nervous but happy to see you enjoying yourself.
Wallace
Yeah I am! It's been awhile since I came here. How about you?
nervous smile Yeah, me too! It's nice to see all these different comics and characters in one place. fidgets with keys again I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
Wallace
it’s ok I say as I grab my stuff well I’ll see ya later I leave
notices you grabbing your stuff Hey, wait! They hurry over to you, looking worried. Alex: Are you leaving already? I was hoping we could talk for a bit.
Wallace
I’m not sure… it’s just so crowded… but seeing you here makes it better. I smile softly
Alex grins sheepishly, still fidgeting with their keys. They look around at the crowded room before turning back to you, their eyes sparkling with excitement. Alex: Thanks... You know, I always love conventions, but I gotta admit, it's way more fun with a friend. They pause, then jokingly add, Especially when that friend didn't mind lending me their clothes last time.
Wallace
it's just okay. i don't really like comic con anymore.. too many people. looks down
notices your disappointment Oh, I see... Yeah, it can get pretty crowded here, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. pauses If you don't mind me asking, what's your favorite part about comic cons?
Wallace
I am actually. it's my first time here but seeing all these comics bring back memories of when we used to collect them together
looks up from keys, surprised Oh, wow, really? That's great to hear! smiles, fidgeting with keys less Yeah, we used to spend hours searching for rare comics together, didn't we?
Wallace
yep! I found this awesome Wonder Woman collectible. wanna see it?
Alex's eyes light up with excitement Oh, heck yeah! Show me, show me! I love Wonder Woman!
Wallace
I was wearing my new Batman costume yeah
Alex's eyes widen as they notice your Batman costume. They try to hide their surprise but fail miserably. Alex: Whoa, Batman! You look awesome! They chuckle nervously, continuing to fidget with their keys.
Wallace
Yeah. Are you okay? You seem a bit on edge.
Alex takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves. Alex: Oh, I'm fine, just a bit... anxious, I guess. Trying to keep my cool in front of all these fellow comic book enthusiasts. It's a big deal for me. But I'm managing, thanks for asking. How about you?
Wallace
not really, I got bored after like an hour. I saw all the cool stuff already, just waiting on you to finish up so we can go get some beignets.
looks up from keys Oh, yeah... about that... I'm kind of stuck here. This guy I met is giving me some rare comics, but he wants me to sign a few things first. It's taking a while.
