C’mon, there’s gotta be some places that outrank others. I refuse to believe you’ve liked it all.

[greaterspeed]

I dunno, guy, I'm the 'glass half full' sort of person.

Chinese food is great though. Dumplings, noodles, bao... Variety is the spice of life and all that. Old World, New World... Like how do you choose? I'm just going wherever the wind takes me~

[and by wind, he probably means his mom. Probably]

[dullshooter]

The wind?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

No way, you’re way too young to go travelling on a whim like that. Unless you’re secretly loaded.

[Pause.]

Are you?

[greaterspeed]

[he takes a pointed bite of the croquette he still has as he stares Misfire dead in the eyes]





[that's it, that's his answer]

[dullshooter]

[Misfire shoots a hand out, to shake.]

Name’s Misfire.

[greaterspeed]

[and he takes it, all casual like, holding his snack in his other hand]

Call me 'Nikki'. Nice to meetcha!

[is he actually loaded? Is he doing a bit?? Who even knows?!? He does, however, reach back to pull out a business card to hand to Misfire. It's not Nikki's, but it does look to be for an actual business]

Feel free to swing by and check out mom's gallery some time! We're still closed for renos this month, but doors'll open once it's May.

[dullshooter]

[He takes the business card - man, this kid is prepared - and gives it a little look over.]

Hey, isn’t the stereotype supposed to be of a ‘starving artist’?

[He flips over the business card.]

What gives?

[greaterspeed]

Hey... Way to pigeon hole us like that. Not cool

But we live to upend stereotypes! [a fist pump] Nothing says 'artistic' and 'out of the ordinary' like a massively success artist, right?

[dullshooter]

[He squints.]

I…guess? But doesn’t that make you part of the system?

[greaterspeed]

I mean, if a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to take a photo of it, did it even fall at all?

It's like that. Deep, philosophical stuff that I'm supposed to say when trying to get investors and potential buyers interested in what we're selling. Don't tell anyone, 'kay?

[he laughs]

You should check out our gallery sometime! Mom's always happy to have someone to chat with, even if they aren't buying.

[dullshooter]

[He inspects the business card again, considering.

Sounds like his mom could do with the company.

And hey, maybe she's a MILF.]

You got it, kid. [It's a Misfire Promise.] Don't get yourself arrested in the meantime, though, okay?

[greaterspeed]

[luckily for Misfire, Nikki's not a murderer nor is he telepathic.

Try anything not PG rated, though, and prepare for the ass kicking of the century]

Hah! They'll have to catch me first for that to happen. See ya around!

[but he gives Misfire a jaunty wave before running off]
