INT. JASON’S APARTMENT CUBE – LATER THAT NIGHT
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu2CHe3Iqm
[The vibe is mellow. SD-A still sits near the wall screen, watching cartoons with his head tilted like he’s analyzing philosophy. SD-K is scanning something with his arm, maybe the weird duck-crab hybrid Jason made. Jason, on the other hand, stretches and heads to the small locker beside his charging pod.]

JASON
“Alright, we’ve eaten, you haven’t broken anything—mostly—and nobody's screaming from a parasitic infection… good day so far. Time to kick back even harder.”
(he pauses, pulling out a fresh towel-like cloth made of synthfibers)
“Take a bath. Relax. Recharge your... whatever you recharge.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsyjHZpVAa
SD-K (narrowing his optics)
“I’m not bathing with the abomination you were welding earlier.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX1dp4o96a
[Jason snorts, marches straight over, grabs K by the shoulder plate, and starts pushing him toward the bathroom.]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedgB1Crqw7
JASON
“C’mon, you smell like battle trauma and old jet fuel. You’ll love it.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhUXcMmRct
SD-K (as he's pushed away)
“This is undignified—let go—what if it crawls up my charging port?!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmnKB6s7K
JASON (grinning)
“Then it’s already won, pal. Let it have the tub.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqfMrKC2Dg
[SD-A bursts into laughter. A little while passes. Steam gently leaks out from under the bathroom door as one after another, the bots emerge slightly less dusty, slightly more confused by Jason’s soap system.]

INT. JASON’S APARTMENT – A BIT LATER
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9vijXOds9
[Jason, wrapped in a towel around his waist and looking way too proud of himself, walks out with something ancient and suspicious clutched in his hands. He sets it on the table with a dramatic THUD.]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WsOph29mW
JASON
“So. You two ever played “Battlefate: Turbo Redux Omega” before?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMG77d5EWE
[He lifts the lid, revealing a tangled mix of printed maps, rusted dice, plastic figurines with medieval weapons, a laminated “Narrator’s Sheet,” and an unsettling number of mini mug tokens.]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZchFIdbUqs
SD-A (eyes wide, fascinated)
“What is it?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVSFBOBbiP
JASON (like a used airspeeder salesman)
“Only the finest role-playing board game ever smuggled out of Vision Tech’s employee lounges before they went kaboom. You build characters, go on dangerous quests, betray your friends, flirt with robots shaped like trees—it’s got everything.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesr4puu40j
[He starts unfolding the huge, creased map with a flick of the wrist.]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYFdijalx4
SD-K (watching with pure dread)
“This looks like torture.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAQYd6g6Ac
SD-A (picking up a tiny rogue figurine)
“This looks amazing.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDETBj0t9d
[Jason picks a barbarian mug figure and holds it up like it’s holy.]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNkhailVGP
JASON
“Buckle up, bots. Tonight… we enter the cursed kingdom of Grindlefax. And you’re all level 1 cowards with dice-induced anxiety.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi4x4Nnywq
[SD-K slumps into his seat like a man accepting death. SD-A bounces a little.]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOfVvkr6do
SD-K (to himself)
“I could’ve just stayed in the car. I chose this.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWsn2zN8p3
[Jason already starts narrating with overdramatic flair, his voice suddenly deeper and booming:]
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabWIZZeuvs
JASON (NARRATOR MODE)
“The skies above Grindlefax are gray and cursed, the winds carry the scent of rusted bolts and forgotten lore… and you, brave travelers, stand before a goblin holding an unpaid tab.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOPDT5ZfTI
[Cut to the three of them huddled over the board, dice clattering, pieces scattered, and the mug figurine somehow already decapitated.]
