EIGHTH SHOT

[Dictated quite cheerfully:]

Wish me happy birthday, people, I'm 40 years old today and therefore officially old.

[Seeing Tess smile and be fascinated was a nice feeling. Knowing how it's like to struggle in a world where you could die at any moment, little things like this make it all better]

I set up those targets for you to blow up. Much better than candles on a cake.

[Tess weighs it in her hands and aims once Lara is in the clear.]

That's fucking incredible. Thanks a million.

[lara_the_explorer]

Sure.

[Lara steps back a couple, waiting for Tess to unleash hell]

[dog_eat_dog]

[And unleash hell she does, with pleasure 8')]

[The explosions were loud enough to cause ringing in Lara's ears. Maybe Tess' too. It wasn't that loud earlier, for some reason. But get ready for ALL CAPS]

THAT WAS GREAT!

[Tess lets out a laugh and a shout in return:]

Fuck, yeah! Should get some headphones, though.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara's ears were still ringing, but not as bad as before. She didn't quite catch what Tess said even though she was also shouting]

What?

[dog_eat_dog]

[Tess laughs again, and just gives Lara a thumbs up... and then mimes putting on headphones.]
