❝ i’m fine on my own. ❞ gregory insists, laser gun pointed at the stranger as his posture remains hostile && tense. if vannessa && whoever that freaky rabbit lady were taught him one thing – it was that the adults in the pizza plex were not to be trusted. no one was for that matter – well, except freddy. but that was the sole exception, everyone else in this plex – they were just weird and crazy!
gregory didn’t have time to stick around && chat, much more pre-occupied with his need to get the head of the robot in the race track. if he could just handle roxy – then monty – then things would probably be okay. he could last ‘til 6am with everything else – but those two were getting way too close to catching him for his own comfort. that – and freddy could do with the upgrades. it’d help them get further.
he grits his teeth, holding onto the fazer blaster; it was one of his only means of defense – and that wasn’t a good thing. ❝ i’ve got a lotta stuff to do – if you’re not crazy, just lemme go so i can get it done! ❞ he puts his finger on the trigger of the fazer blaster. ❝ or else! ❞
Okay, so this was an...interesting situation.
Being held at (laser)gunpoint by a kid that was....what, ten? Alexander is fairly sure that little thing won’t do much damage to him—the laser gun, at least. He knows from experience how volatile ten-year-olds can be; he was one once, after all.
Not to mention he had two kids of his own.
Alex still has his crowbar in hand when he raises his hands in a gesture of surrender—and attempt at peacekeeping. Even if that laser gun couldn’t do much harm to him, it could definitely fuck up his vision for a bit and that was the last thing he needed.
“ Woah there, kiddo. Who says ‘m crazy? ” It’s only a moment later that it hits him that an old man wielding a crowbar after-hours at a mega-plex would probably seem ‘crazy’ to a child. Or anyone, for that matter, and so he cringes and nods along.
“ Actually, you got a point. Here—will it make y’feel better if I put down the crowbar? I ain’t gonna hurt you. ” There weren’t any bots in sight, at least, so there isn’t any risk in that regard.
