*Restless rustling of lounge*
*More restless rustling*
NIX: *Sighs*
*Keys jangling outside door*
WILLIAM: *Humming 'Dancing in the Moonlight'*
WILLIAM: *Shrieks*
WILLIAM: Who the fucking mother fu-- NIX: Woah! Hey! It's alright!
NIX: It's fine! I'm Nix. Is me. Uhm, Nix is me. WILLIAM: Nix? Who the fff...
WILLIAM: Nixon. Bradley Nixon.
NIX: Is me! Yeah.
WILLIAM: You break in here like some sort of crazy person? You scared the absolutely shit out of me.
NIX: No, it wasn't breaking in, I... I have a key.
WILLIAM: Alright.
NIX: And you're Will. WILLIAM: *Deepest of sighs*
NIX: You're taller and more... 3D than I imagined. When you're not a picture on a phone screen.
WILLIAM: That's what I've been told. NIX: *Laughs*
WILLIAM: You're here early.
NIX: Yeah! Hoping to make a good impression.
WILLIAM: Well, you're here at all, so...
NIX: Yeah. Hoping to make an apology...
WILLIAM: Well. If it helps at all, I s'pose I can be your witness to punctuality. I mean, I'm not really sure that is going to help. At all.
NIX: It'll help. I mean, I know these girls. Everything will be fine, we'll talk it out. It'll help!
NIX: Maybe it'll help...
NIX: *Laughs*
WILLIAM: Awww! So close! NIX: That was close though. Ok...
WILLIAM: *Nom*
*Celebratory cheering and clapping from both*
NIX: Trick or treat!!
*Door slams loudly*
NIX: Yah...
NIX: Get wrecked! WILLIAM: You are a hell of a lot better at this than I am.
NIX: Gimme the throw. SESH: William do you have any idea why--
SESH: Ahhh...
SESH: *Surprised laugh*
SESH: That explains Presley, um, pacing around outside looking for blunt objects.
NIX: Sasha! It's great to see y--
SESH: Stop. NIX: Uhh, yeah.
SESH: Um, William, can you go get Presley please? WILLIAM: Should-- Yeah.
SESH: Oh, and don't let her bring anything that could bruise skin!
WILLIAM: Alright! NIX: Ooh. Thank you for this small mercy.
NIX: So. How've you been?
SESH: A little sick. Yeah. Yeah I'm better now, so. NIX: Oh no that sucks! Good.
NIX: Goooood.
NIX: Will seems nice. SESH: Um, William.
NIX: Really?
NIX: Wow, this is awkward...
SESH: It's about to get worse.
PRESLEY: *Getting closer* --kidding me, no! I don't want to! Let me bring just one rock! ONE ROCK! Gimme-- WILLIAM: No, you've gotta get in the room. Nothing. You're not bringing anything in!
PRESLEY: Oh. Hi.
NIX: Hey Pres!
NIX: Nice shirts!
SESH: You've got 20 seconds to explain to us where you've been.
NIX: *Laughing* Ok, why don't we grab some drinks, we'll sit down-- SESH: 16. 15.
SESH: 14. 13. NIX: Ok! Ok! I've been spending the moons alone!
NIX: I've been travelling deep, DEEP into the heart of a national park and running... Wild? Uhh... Free!
NIX: Faaaar away from civilisation. PRESLEY: Yeah, cool story bro, you've got 10 seconds to explain to me why you're here.
NIX: I...
NIX: I was hoping to come back... Well... That you'd let me. Come back.
PRESLEY: Not good enough. SESH: Why now?
SESH: You go all 'call of the wild' for six months PRESLEY: Without a phone call.
SESH: And suddenly you decide now's the time to come back? PRESLEY: Again, without a phone call!
SESH: Now you'd rather be couped up with us instead of slaughtering wombats?
NIX: Alright... So it turns out that both parking passes and parking fines from the national park are...
NIX: More expensive over an extended period of time than I'd accounted for.
NIX: Splitting an AirBnB is way more affordable.
PRESLEY: We've already got a third person to split with. Sorry!
NIX: But... I came all the way out here.
NIX: And I really did miss you guys.
WILLIAM: And?
NIX: And?
WILLIAM: Come on dude, you left them hanging, here. You gotta say it. PRESLEY: No. Phone call.
NIX: And...
NIX: I'm really... Really sorry for what I did.
SESH: You can stay. For now.
SESH: But don't think we're done with this!
