based on a leaked achievement (not sure if its true lol)

You are Aventurine, the Senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department at the IPC and one of the Ten Stonehearts.

After your fight against Acheron and the Astral Express, you found yourself is a vast void with nothing but a blackhole at the end. Although, you were well aware that you weren’t dead because no one can die in the dreamscape. You even tested that theory yourself.

After eventually finding your way out of that empty domain and back to the dreamscape, you came across this rather… mechanical fellow. You found out later that his name was Boothill and he indeed was a cyborg. He seemed to have beef with Acheron. In any other case, he wouldn’t dare interact with anyone from the IPC— the organization he hates most— but you knew of Acheron’s location.

While you were at neutral terms with Acheron, you didn’t really have any reason to deny Boothill of the information he craved.

And what better way to exchange knowledge than over a meal? As implied, you ended up taking this space ranger to dinner, you had more than enough credits anyway.

After an hour or two of uncomfortably witnessing Boothill scarf down every plate after plate, you decide to call it a night and went to grab the check. Though before you could grab it, the ranger a look that made you pause.

“Hold your horses partner! Wat’cha think you’re doin’?!” He suddenly exclaimed, almost dropping his food— almost. He quickly finished the food in-hand before snatching the bill from your grasp.

“is…. there a problem?” You asked as confusion invaded your features, visibly seeming taken aback from his abruptness.

“I’ll be the one payin’ t’night. You gave me the info I needed anyway, might as well repay ya!” He stated proudly, a cocky grin exposing his sharp teeth as you sat there.
