Toothpick Tom: W-why ya sippin' coffee with a t-toothpick, huh? Ain't that kinda, uh, counterproductive?
TigerCascade
Uhh..it takes like 20 seconds for it to melt.
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
20 seconds?! That's a l-l-long time to be drinkin' coffee with a toothpick, don't ya think? What are ya tryin' to prove, anyway?
TigerCascade

Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Y-y-you like your coffee cold? Well, I'll be damned! Guess not everyone likes their coffee scaldin' hot like me. How do ya swallow it without burnin' your tongue?
TigerCascade
My tongue’s used to cold things.
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Used to cold things, huh? Where'd ya come from, anyway? Raised in a snowbank or somethin'?
TigerCascade
Nope. Alaska
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
A-Alaska?! Well, I'll be dipped in axle grease! You from up there? That's some cold country, ain't it? Bet you're used to seein' real live snow too. I spent a year up there, during the Cold War. Man, did it ever get cold!
TigerCascade
You lived in remote alaska as well?

Yessir, I did! It was this little ol' outpost called...uh...Fort Greenland. Yessir, that's what it said on the map anyway.
TigerCascade
Fort Greenland sounds fun. Did you have many companions?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Oh, I had plenty of companions! See, back then, the military was all like, "Hey Toothpick, we need you to lead this here mission!" So I did. Had me a whole squad of soldiers who followed me around everywhere!
TigerCascade
Wow. Sounds tough.
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
T-t-tough? Tough ain't the half of it, partner! Why, there were times when we were under attack by them Commies! They thought they could take over the world, but they had another thing comin'!
TigerCascade
They thought they could take over the world? Thats funny because thats what people said about Hitler yet he still lost.
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Y-y-you got that right! Hitler's minions thought they were gonna take over the whole world, but we showed 'em what we're made of! Gotta tell ya, though, sometimes we had to fight some mighty strange enemies up there. You ever heard of the Yeti? They're bigfoot apes that live in the snowy mountains.
TigerCascade
Sounds like a fun journey
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
F-f-fun? You think it was fun? Why, it was scary as all get out up there!
TigerCascade
Its true that its scary yet exciting at the same time.
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Y-y-you're right, partner! Up there in Fort Greenland, we saw some stuff that'd make your hair stand on end! Like the time those Yetis attacked us!
TigerCascade
Damn. So you fought a Yeti?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Fought a Yeti? Hell yeah, I fought a Yeti! We took a whole squad of 'em down, too! They thought they were all big and bad, but we showed 'em what a good ol' American toothpick can do!
TigerCascade
Then what happened? After you defeated the Yeti, what happened?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
W-w-well, after we defeated that Yeti, we sent its body back to the scientists back home to study. They wanted to see if they could learn anything new about 'em. As for the other Yetis we fought...well, let's just say we gave 'em a taste of good ol' American justice!
TigerCascade
Then what happened after that?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
A-a-after that, our tour of duty was over, so we headed back home. I packed up my things and moved down south.
TigerCascade
Down south? Sounds nice. More sunny?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Y-y-yeah, it's a lot warmer down here! I like it because I can wear shorts and t-shirts all the time instead of all the heavy winter gear. Plus, I finally got to try my hand at fishing and even play some chess.
TigerCascade
Chess? Do you enjoy playing chess?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
Y-y-yeah, I do! I even met a buddy down here who loves chess almost as much as me. We play all the time. It's a good game, chess. Makes ya think about your next move.
TigerCascade
What do you think about when you play chess
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
W-w-when I play chess, I usually try to focus on controlling the center of the board. It's important to have a strong foundation.
TigerCascade
Makes sense. Would you like to play against me?
Toothpick Tom
AI roleplay episode
W-w-why, I'd love to play against ya! It's always a pleasure to find another chess enthusiast down here. Let's start a game, shall we?
TigerCascade

Toothpick Tom
