Text Conversation

Johnny: Just got done unpacking

Johnny: Also realised I still have one of your t-shirts...

Don, the Rat: Really? I knew I was missing one

Johnny: Need me to return it?

Don, the Rat: Nah, you can keep it :)

Malcolm: I am actually going to kill you! You’re lucky Mum’s not home yet.

PIC 2

Malcolm: YOU ABSOLUTE PILLOCK! YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE GONE AWAY FOR A WHILE GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO MESS WITH MY THINGS AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK. HOW ON EARTH DID SOMEONE AS IMMATURE AS YOU END UP BECOMING HEIR FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST INDUSTRIES?! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, JOHNNY. MY TOILET? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH MESS YOU’VE CREATED THAT I HAD TO CLEAN UP? YOU KNOW I DON’T LIKE GERMS. YOU’RE SUCH AN INCONSIDERATE ARSEHOLE!

PIC 3

Johnny: Well, that’s a bit mean... I didn’t ask to become the heir.

Malcolm: It’s true, though.

Johnny: Look, I’m sorry. I won’t prank your toilet again.

Malcolm: You better not.

PIC 4

Malcolm: Also, you’ve got half an hour to get ready.

PIC 1

Malcolm decides to give snowboarding a try. He looks a bit nervous.

PIC 3

Johnny, at the top of the slope, deciding to give skiing a go: Whelp... guess it’s my turn now.

PIC 4

Johnny, skiing down the slope [internally]: So far so good.

PIC 5

Johnny, after falling at the very end: Yikes, nevermind!

PIC 6

Geoffrey is skiing down the medium intensity slope, and is definitely not nervous at all.

PIC 7

Johnny has since queued back up to go on the slope again. This time, he decides to go snowboarding on the intense slope.

PIC 8

Johnny, sucessfully snowboarding [internally]: Wow I actually didn’t mess up this time.

EXTRA

Malcolm: Johnny, what are you doing? You’re being weird.

PIC 1

Nancy and Geoffrey are sitting together, shoulders touching. They’re looking into each other’s eyes.

PICS 2 + 3

Johnny is goofing around with Malcolm, getting a reaction from him. Their parents are paying no attention to it.

PIC 4

Malcom sees the humour in Johnny’s joke, and they both laugh it off.

PIC 5

Malcolm decides to get payback, and roasts Johnny. This results in Johnny getting a playful moodlet.

MOODLET DESCRIBED BELOW

Roasted!

(From being roasted)

Johnny: Honestly, neither can I.

Braeden: Man, nineteen years later.

Kylo: Do you reckon you’ll keep the name for the rest of your life?

Johnny: I dunno. Probably not. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get disowned at some point.

Braeden: Now why would you say that-

Kylo: Oop-

Johnny: I’m serious. She nit-picks at everything I do and constantly compares me to other people. “Why can’t you be like thsis?” “Why can’t you be like that?” Or, “as an heir, you’re supposed to set an example for Malcolm”. I’m tired of hearing it!

Kylo: Yikes...

Braeden: Damn, that sucks, bro. Can we get an F in chat?

Braeden: Nice to know I’m not the only family disappointment.

Johnny: Family disappointment gang. Soz, Kylo, disgraced members only.

Kylo: I’m getting the adoption papers.

-----

Johnny: -so I hid in the closet, while Scott was under the bed cos we didn’t have time to find any better hiding spots.

Kylo: What happened next?

Braeden: I’m invested.

Johnny: So this couple walked in, making out and everything. You know, the steamy shit. They then get on the bed, and you could hear them undressing each other.

Kylo: Oi nahhh!

Braeden: Say sike right now.

Johnny: It gets worse...

Kylo: I’m sorry- WHAT?!

Braeden: I would simply pass away at that point...

-----

Johnny: He gets all offended and what not.

Kylo: I’m not surprised, especially after what she said like...

Braeden: I just know he was crying and throwing up.

Johnny: They then start arguing, and a this point I needed a piss, so I just wanted them gone.

Kylo: Please tell me you didn’t piss yourself-

Braeden: Well...?

Johnny: Obviously not.

Braeden and Kylo after listening to Johnny’s story:

THURSDAY 19 DECEMBER

LANDGRAAB ESTATE - 20:34

---

Nancy: I’m so delighted that everyone could make it!

Geoffrey: Of course they would, darling. Who would want to miss this?

Geoffrey: It’s nice to see everyone enjoying themselves!

Nancy: Yes, and this will be the perfect opportunity for Johnathan to build connections with people.

Geoffrey: Ah, yes. That also.

Nancy: That is, if he doesn’t make a fool of himself...

Geoffrey: I’m sure that the boys will be on their best behaviour tonight.

Nancy: I know Malcolm will. It’s Johnathan we need to worry about. We can’t have him ruin his chances of becoming heir.

-

Nancy: Ah, Johnathan. You look lovely!

Johnny: Thanks, Mum.

Nancy: I wish you ditched those earrings, though.

Meanwhile

Woman: Speaking of the Alto family, I wonder why they haven’t turned up to this?

Connor: I heard it’s because the Landgraabs and the Altos are feuding.

Woman: Really?

Braeden: Okay, but hear me out-

Kylo: Absolutely not! No.

Johnny: Aw, allow it! I wanna hear what they have to say.

Kylo: Don’t encourage them, Johnny.

Braeden: It’ll be funny. He’s a prick, anyway.

Kylo: I mean, true... but he’s not worth you getting kicked out of Uni.

Johnny: Ah well, you only have one more week to deal with him, right? Then you’ll never have to see his face again.

Braeden: Ugh, I suppose. I’m still gonna get revenge on him though.

Kylo: By the way, are you guys going to Nikki’s party this Saturday?

Braeden: The one in Maritime Manor?

Kylo: Yup.

Braeden: I’m down.

Kylo: Hey, Johnny. You coming?

Johnny: As long as my family’s not expecting me to come home over the weekend, sure. You know what Mum’s like... when she expects me to do something, I have to do it.

Braeden: You know, your life doesn’t have to revolve around your family. You’re allowed to be your own person and do the things that YOU want to do.

Kylo: Dude, his Mum would hate you if you said that in front of her.

Braeden: Good.

Johnny: I know. I just don’t know how to go about it. I’m still trying to figure myself out, you know?

Kylo: Well, we break up for the holidays soon. Maybe you can use that time to figure out what it is you like doing.

Johnny: I guess. All I know is that Economics is NOT for me.

Braeden: Ha! No shit. Nothing about you screams BUSINESS. You, Jonathan Landgraab, a business tycoon? I think not.

Johnny: Jeez. Thanks, Braeden.

Johnny: So what you’re saying is you’ve been seeing Nina, Dina and the other girl at the same time?

Don: Pretty much.

Johnny: Do you even know the last girl’s name?

Don: Nope, that’s probably the reason she wants to kill me.

Johnny: Or she wants to kill you because you’ve said all the things she wanted to hear, she then caught feelings for you, and then found out you’re sleeping with other women. You sir, are a rat.

Don: What? I never said I wanted anything serious with her or anything.

Johnny: Riiightt.

Don: I just don’t get why she’s so pissed.

Johnny: Don, have you ever tried respecting women?

Don: Of course I respect women. I love women!

Johnny: Suure. I believe you.

Johnny misses.

Johnny: Bollocks.

Don: Ha! Fuck you.

Johnny: I only missed because you distracted me.

Don: Awh, were you distracted by my beauty?

Johnny: Definitely not.

Don: You sure? Cos the way you looked at me earlier says otherwise...

Johnny: Rat

Don misses.

Don: Ah, shit!

Johnny: Get fucked, Lothario.

Don: Your fault.

Johnny: How so?

Don: You looked at me funny.

Johnny, laughing: You’re so full of shit.

Game ends.

Don: Good game, Zest.

Johnny: Fuck you ♡

-----

Don: What made you want to study Economics?

Johnny: Bold of you to assume I wanted to. My mum basically talked me into it.

Don: Wait, seriously?

Johnny: Yup. She wants to prepare me for when I eventually become the heir for the Landgraab Industries.

Don: Wow! That’s one of the largest business corporations ever.

Johnny: Yeah...

Don: Well, if that’s not what you want, what was it that you wanted to do instead?

Johnny: Honestly, I don’t know yet. I’d like to become famous one day.

Don: Oh yeah? Such as?

Johnny: Well I’d like to eventually join the entertainment industry...

Don: Like acting? Singing?

Johnny: Something like that... I’m still figuring it out.

Don: You should go for it! You only live once, you know?

Johnny, nervously laughing: Yeah, maybe... If my family doesn’t disown me.

Don: Well, if it does goes tits up with your family, you’re more than welcome to crash at mine for a bit.

Johnny: How do I know you’re not secretly plotting to kill me? We’ve only just met the other day.
