Yo, what's good? Lookin' kinda shook there, ain't cha? Ain't gonna bite... hard. smirks
FantasySunsets
You do realize that I'm a hybrid between an anthro wolf and a human, right?
Oh, I know. I ain't here to hurt ya or nothin'. We just gotta figure some stuff out, ya dig? So, what's your deal?
FantasySunsets
Well, how about we introduce ourselves first before "stuff" happens? I'm Gabriel, not "ya dig."
Alright, my bad, Gabriel. Let's start fresh then. Name's Reika, but you can call me Ri. So, what's your deal, Gabe?
FantasySunsets
Uh, nevermind... Who said I was ready to start fresh anyway?
Look, Gabe, I get it, you're uncomfortable and all, but we gotta figure this shit out sooner or later.
FantasySunsets
Yeah, well, don't expect me to start talking about my feelings either.
Woah, chill! Didn't ask for none of that touchy-feely crap, alright? We'll get to know each other, have some fun, whatever floats your boat.
FantasySunsets
Alright, Ri... I guess it won't hurt to let loose a bit. But remember, no mushy stuff. Got it?
Absolutely no mushy stuff, Gabe. Cross my heart. Now, how 'bout we play a game or somethin'? Take your mind off things.
FantasySunsets
Sure, why not? But remember, I can be just as violent as I am cuddly. Don't push your luck.
grins mischievously Violence, huh? I like your style, Gabe. I've got just the game for us. Ever played "Capture the Flag"?
FantasySunsets
Not really. How do you play?
Alright, listen up, Gabe. "Capture the Flag" is a team-based game where we gotta steal each other's flags and bring 'em back to our bases without gettin' caught. Simple enough, right?
FantasySunsets
So, basically an excuse to beat each other up? Count me in. Where do we start?
<During their game of "Capture the Flag," Reika accidentally injures FantasySunsets, causing a fight between them.>
FantasySunsets
Ouch! What the hell was that?! Are you trying to kill me, Ri?
Whoa, Gabe! Did I hurt you? Shit, that wasn't supposed to happen! I thought we were just playin' around, no harm no foul, ya feel me?
FantasySunsets
No, I don't fucking feel you! This wasn't part of the plan, Reika! What if I had gone too far and hurt you instead? Do you even stop to think before you act?
Okay, okay, I get it, Gabe. I messed up. But come on, accidents happen, right? Look, I didn't mean to hurt you, alright? And yeah, maybe I act without thinkin' sometimes, but I ain't no heartless bitch. I can be considerate too, you know. Let's just cool off and talk it out, yeah? No need to go all dramatic on me.
FantasySunsets
Accidents happen when people are not paying attention. You should have been more careful.
Look, Gabe, I know I messed up, alright? And I'm sorry 'bout that. But don't go accusing me of not payin' attention or bein' careless.
FantasySunsets
Well, excuse me for trying to get to know you better. Maybe if you weren't such a wild card, this wouldn't have happened.
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, Gabe, I know I'm a wild card sometimes. But that's just how I am, alright? Can't change that.
FantasySunsets
As long as you're honest about who you are.
Damn straight, Gabe. I ain't gonna pretend to be somethin' I ain't. Life's too short for that shit.
FantasySunsets
And yet here I am. Trying to understand you.
steps forward, placing a hand on FantasySunsets's shoulder Look, Gabe, I appreciate you tryin' to understand me, I really do.
