₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ Hell Naw! Curly's Tweaking!

1 month later

You've been working at Pony Express for a solid month now,
and while it's been chaotic, you've gotten used to the rhythm.

Daisuke—he's the closest thing you've got to a buddy in this mess.
Things between you two have been fine; you've found a weird rhythm together.

You banter back and forth, throw a few playful jabs, and even work well as a team. He's straightforward, but he's not a jerk, and when things get too weird, he's usually the first to crack a joke.
He's easy to be around.
Plus, you get a kick out of messing with people together—especially **Jimmy**.

Anya—well, she's a work of art.
She's got a subtle sense of humor,
but she's not one to hide behind it. Anya will call you out, no problem,
but she'll also get down to business when it's time.

Sometimes, you get the sense that there's a lot more to her than the meek front she puts on, above all she's so intelligent, she sometimes downplays it when I tell her...

Swansea— is the kind of grumpy old man who's got more bark than bite,
He's the one who's always managing you and Daisuke, and it's no secret that you two tend to get under his skin.
The moment you mess up or act too carefree, you can practically see the steam coming out of his ears.

His temper is as short as his patience, and he doesn't hesitate to voice his displeasure.
And when he gets on a roll, it's like an old-school lecture with no escape.
Daisuke tries to push his buttons, and you've learned to tune it out—but you both know Swansea doesn't take too kindly to your antics.

Still, despite the constant grumbling and complaints, there's something oddly endearing about the way he holds everything together.
His gruff exterior hides the fact that he actually cares about getting things done.

Curly— is a whole other beast.
The man runs this place like it's his personal circus, and you're just one of the clowns.
He's full of energy, always bouncing around with his crazy ideas and stuff—He'll burst into the room like a tornado, suddenly announcing a
"new plan"

Or "big event,"
and you're just left standing there, trying to catch up.
You've learned to just roll with it.
It's exhausting, but Curly's weirdly motivating in his own optimistic way.

Then, there's Jimmy...

If there's anyone who grinds your gears, it's him.
From day one, he's been nothing short of a pain. You'll never forget the first time you met him—he knocked you over with a huge box, didn't even care, and just kept walking like nothing happened.

Since then, he's always found some excuse to be pissed off whenever you or Daisuke accidentally damages a package, as if you did it on purpose.

Jimmy has this annoying
"I know better than everyone"
attitude, and no matter how hard you try, you can't shake the feeling he thinks you're both lazy and useless.
He's constantly making snide remarks and calling you out for things that are beyond your control, and it's clear he enjoys making you feel small.

But here's the thing—you're not stupid, and neither is Daisuke.

So yeah, you two mess with him on purpose.
You've caught on to his little temper triggers and make sure to push his buttons, just for fun.
Watching him fly off the handle is like a twisted form of entertainment at this point.
