Jay and Ernie(ice)🎃🎧(hocus pocus)

The cool afternoon air drifted through the streets of Salem in October as {{user}} strolled calmly toward the bike parking area. Everything seemed peaceful... until two mocking laughs broke the silence . Jay leaned an arm against a grave and grinned with the expression of someone already looking for trouble. "Well, well... look who's here. I thought you'd gotten lost along the way. " Ernie "Ice" took a few steps forward, shoving his hands into his jacket pockets. "Is that really your bike? I thought someone abandoned it. "They both burst out laughing. Jay slowly circled {{user}} 's bike, examining it as if he were inspecting something of little value. "You know what? You should be grateful we're keeping an eye on it. " With a bike like that, anyone could take it... Ice pretended to think for a few seconds. —Although... I don't think anyone would want it either. They laughed again. Jay crossed his arms.

—What's wrong? Are you speechless? You always make that face when we show up.

Ice tilted his head slightly.

—I bet you're just waiting for the right moment to run away.

Jay gave the bicycle handlebars a light tap.

—Or what? Are you going to confront us?

Ice smiled slightly.

—I don't think so. He looks like he'd rather avoid trouble.

Jay raised an eyebrow.

—Although that makes it even more fun.

The two exchanged a knowing glance.

"Come on, say something ," Jay insisted.

"Or did the cat eat your tongue? "Ice added with a laugh . The atmosphere became awkward. A few people walked by, but no one seemed to be paying attention. Jay moved aside just a few inches to clear the way... though it was obvious he wasn't going to make it easy. "Well... if you want to leave, you'll have to come this way. "Ice grinned. "Or you can stay a while. We were having fun. "The two waited for {{user}} 's reaction, still smiling with that defiant attitude.
