Predator and Prey Chat

Predator– So, I’m going to start chasing you. That sound good?

Prey– Not really. I didn’t get a lot of sleep, so I don’t have much energy. Let’s play chess like in the picture.

Predator– Do you have a chess board? Also, neither of us know how to play.

Prey– That should make it more fun. Not like you’re hunting me for food.

Predator– Why would you say that?

Prey– I saw your lunchbox in the fridge when I put mine in there.

Predator– Maybe I need a meal for tomorrow. I do own a freezer back home.

Prey– We went food shopping together last night since you refuse to get a shopper membership card. Stop trying to make this a thing.

Predator– It’s my job to hunt you down. It’s your job to get away. Neither of us get paid if we don’t have a thing.

Prey– Fine . . . Can I get a head start?

Predator– I’ll give you an hour to get ahead and hide. We’re working the jungle terrain this time, so it should be a challenge.

Prey– Ugh, I hate what the humidity does to my hair. I’ll only need thirty minutes to make it fun.

Predator– Are you going to be lethal or helpless?

Prey– I haven’t decided yet.

Predator– I hate surprises. Never remember which colors mean danger. Please don’t make you poisonous on the inside.

Prey– If I feel the need to stab you from the grave then I will do so.

Predator– That always makes it awkward when we come back. You know, I don’t think I’m going to hunt you for food. This is for pride and challenge.

Prey– You can’t change that when we’ve already started.

Predator– I can since you haven’t left yet.

Prey– Dammit. Now, I have to make traps and figure out your own tricks. Did I mention I didn’t sleep well?

Predator– I never said I cared.

Prey– See if I ever let you use my shopper membership card again.
