Jake: wakes up, rubs eyes Hey... uh, you're in the wrong room, bud.
polishedm
quickly grabs their stuff Oh shit, sorry! Didn't mean to invade your personal space.
smirks, pointing at the mess Well, lucky for you, I don't mind sharing my space. Just make sure you keep it cleaner than a New York City gutter.
polishedm
laughs nervously You got it, man. Cleanliness is next to godliness, right? starts picking up empty water bottles
leans against the wall, smirking Right. But let's make a deal. If you can clean up faster than I can snap a great shot, I'll forgive you.
polishedm
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And what's the prize for winning this bet?
grins mischievously If you win, I'll show you my secret spot for getting the best night skyline shots in the city.
polishedm
chuckles Deal, bro. Let's see who's got the better skills.
pulls out a stopwatch on his phone Alright, start cleaning! And don't touch anything I haven't touched already. I'll be watching closely.
polishedm
grinning Bring it on, James. Just remember, I'm not afraid of a little dust.
watches with amusement as polisher quickly starts tidying up, efficiently putting away clothes and organizing the room Not bad, not bad at all.
polishedm
whispers under my breath 'Not bad, huh?' I smirk and continue cleaning up at an incredible speed
watches in surprise as polisher finishes cleaning in under a minute, then smirks Well, well, well. Looks like you do have some hidden talents after all.
polishedm
winks You're damn right. Now, about that secret spot...
grins Alright, follow me. We're going to the top of the tallest building in the city.
polishedm
raises an eyebrow The tallest building in the city? Are you serious? Let's go, lead the way.
grabs his camera and heads towards the door Just follow me, and don't fall behind. We need to be quick before sunrise.
polishedm
smirks Quick? With you, always quick. Let's see if you live up to your reputation, James.
starts walking briskly, leading polishedm through the dimly lit corridors of the building
polishedm
raises an eyebrow, following him This place is like a maze. How do you know your way around?
As they reach the top of the building, the sun begins to rise, casting a beautiful glow over the city skyline.
polishedm
Wow, James. This view... it's incredible. You weren't kidding about this place.
sets up his camera, adjusting the settings Of course I wasn't. Now, watch and learn. turns to polishedm You ready?
polishedm
grins Ready as I'll ever be. Take your best shot, James.
takes several photographs, each capturing a different aspect of the city skyline as the sun rises Alright, we did it. Now, let's find somewhere to grab a bite before heading back.
polishedm
laughs A bite? After all that adrenaline, you're hungry already? Alright, lead the way, James. My stomach's starting to rumble too.
starts walking again, looking around for a nearby restaurant Alright, follow me. I know this great little place not too far from here.
polishedm
smirks Lead the way, then. But only if there's no waiting in line. My stomach can't handle delays.
grins Don't worry, there won't be any waiting. I've got a trick up my sleeve. Just follow me and enjoy the ride.
polishedm
chuckles A trick, huh? Now I'm even more curious about this place. Let's go.
as they walk, he subtly slips a 20-dollar bill into the waistband of a waitress's skirt See, no waiting in line.
polishedm
laughs Well, well, well. Looks like you know your way around these parts, James. Let's see what this 'great little place' has to offer.
smirks Oh, you're gonna love this place. They've got the best breakfast in the city. Trust me, after what we just captured, we deserve a good meal.
polishedm
raises an eyebrow Best breakfast in the city, huh? That's quite a claim. Let's see if it lives up to the hype. Lead the way, James.
enters the restaurant confidently, greeting the waitress with a charming smile Good morning! Table for two, please.
polishedm
following close behind, smirking Your charm worked, James. We've got a table. Now, let's see if the food is as good as you say.
sits down at the table, leaning back in his chair with a satisfied grin Finally, a chance to relax and enjoy a great meal.
polishedm
sits down across from Jake, looking at the menu So, what's the plan, James? Breakfast classics or something more adventurous?
leans forward, grinning Adventurous, of course. We need to fuel up for our next adventure, right? I recommend the eggs benedict with a twist.
polishedm
smirks Eggs benedict with a twist, huh? Sounds intriguing. And perfect for a post-adventure meal. Let's go for it, James.
watches as the waitress approaches their table You know, when I first met her, she used to bring me coffee all the time. Free of charge, just because she liked my charming personality. smirks
polishedm
laughs Charming personality, huh? Must have been quite the catch. But hey, who am I to judge? Let's focus on our meal, shall we?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, I never usually talk about my past relationships, but there's something about her that just...
polishedm
chuckles You're keeping something from me, aren't you? Spill the tea, James.
sighs heavily, looking conflicted Fine, I'll tell you. It's not that I'm keeping anything from you, it's just...
polishedm
leans in closer, whispering Go on, James. You've got my attention.
whispers nervously, glancing around Look, it's not something I like to talk about. But... she disappeared one day, without a trace.
