August: "So, you mean to tell me that...you are a real-life human like us?"

Karina: "I mean, that's what he just said."

Man: "Oh, there you are! I was getting worried that you all were--"

Karina: "istg if this old geezer comes over here again I'm going to break his spine."

*Enter earrape meme audio here for the man as the camera slows in on his face*

Velos: "Yeah, I mean, now those updated Nin-tender Swaps can do these things now. I just figured it was a VR game."

Karina: "How long were you in here?"

Velos: "I don't know, maybe about...4 months? I guess, I haven't been keeping track. How did you get to my Nin-tender Swap anyway?"

Karina: "Oh, it was yours?! Well, uhmm--"

August: "The trash was buried in Forest Park, we thought it was broken, but it wasn't. The screen was just cracked--"

Karina: "August Alejandro Cabrera"

August: "Karina Elizabeth Williams! Stop treating me like I'm a kid! I can say whatever I want!"

Karina: "..."

Karina, monotone: "Geez, Don't have to be so rude about it. Anyway, I'm heading to the inn. I'll talk to you guys later."

*Karina walked away and left August with Minskio.*

August: "*sighs* Can you just turn into your human form? I don't feel like dealing with this."

Velos: "Gahh. Fine."

*Velos turns human, revealing a charming young man.*

August: "That's better, hey, can you take me to town?"

Velos: "Why are you being so needy all of a sudden?"

August: "Just take me already!"

Velos: "*laughs* alright, alright. Hehe, don't bite my head off."

August: "*mumbling* keep talking and I just might."

*Velos laughs as he picks up August, taking him down to town on his back, piggy back style. They make it to town and august points to the Old Man's Inn(Yes, that's the inn's name) . Velos walks in and sets August down, to which August takes a seat at the bar, Velos next to him. August orders a drink, and the screen cuts back and forth between August and more drinks sitting around him. At the bottom of the screen it says "PSA: We do not condone or encourage consuming mass amounts of alcohol.") Velos looks at August, then his drinks, then back to August.*

Velos: "Ya'know, that doesn't look all too healthy."

August: "Pfft- whatever, it's just a game."

Velos: "I dunno man. Maybe you should go to sleep, I'll book you a room."

*August looks up at Velos *

August: "You just wanna get rid of me, don't you?"

*August gets out of his chair and staggers over to Velos. August grabs a hold of Velos's waist in a huggy fashion.*

Velos, slightly blushing: "August what are you-"

*August starts to tear up.*

August: "You don't like me! You hate me, don't you!?"

Velos: "I-"

August: "I knew it! Everyone here hates me!"

*August lets go of Velos.*
