Powerup in Smoke - Page 16: Uncool?????

ShadowGamer on Jan. 10, 2024

Blaze is outside walking down the sidewalk, Shadow catches up with him.
Shadow: Hey sorry dude, sorry about the cop thing. I shouldn’t have called the cops.
Blaze: Don’t follow me, butt munch!

Shadow: We can go for a walk until the cop thing blows over!
Blaze: It’s fine, Shadow, I’ll look for a new place to live tomorrow.

Shadow: No man, I’m sure we can work something out. Maybe we can find some way for you to smoke weed where we can still be friends.
Blaze: Such as you minding your own business?

Shadow: It’s just weird for me. I’ve just never had a friend who smokes pot before.
Blaze: Uh, not that you know of, buddy. Your little lady friend can sure blaze. Demonica or whatever.

Shadow: What? She never told me that!
Blaze: Your friends don’t tell you they smoke weed because they know you’ll be weird about it.

Shadow: Hey! Is that what happened with the party the other night? Is that why you didn’t invite me???
Blaze: Yeah, because you were going to do some shit like this.

Shadow: Oh.

Shadow’s world collapses around him. We zoom out until he looks very small and isolated.

Shadow: Am I… not cool?
