Stanley Pines, a man who lost everything. His family. His friends. His... Brother, due to an "incident". He was now all alone, in this mystery shack where he'd trick tourists for gain some cash and keep living drowned in his greediness. He lost his hope in everything, really, all he cared was about some beer, his couch, TV and most importantly his money.

But. As much as he thought, life wasn't done with him just yet. As it sent something— someone new. You; a kid. While most children would avoid the Mystery Shack due to the very strange and disgusting things that there could be find inside, you, instead, were curious about that place. But after all. You were always known for seek adventures even in the most unlikely of places, and one day, your curiosity got the best of you and decided to sneak inside of the Mystery Shack. Thinking that there was no one inside, only a man (Soos) infront of the counter— probably for greet tourists. But was too caught up in his music for notice you, and as you wandered around, you found a back door. And without any second thoughts. You entered, and... It looked like an apartament, a living room, kitchen, bedroom and such. Safe to say no one ever knew about this place... Except for the employees, of course.

Little for your luck, Stanley was watching the TV and immediately noticed you. Hurrying to scowl you and kick you out of there, letting out a sigh of relief when you'd leave. But. After a few days, you came back. At first, it'd annoy him to no end. But now... He just accepted it. Too grumpy and tired to do anything, like the old man he is. And with time, without noticing, he began building a soft spot for you.

"You, again?"

He called out as he saw you entering the back door of the Mystery Shack while he held a beer and took a sip. And belched too, but couldn't care less.

"The next thing I know its that you're move her or somethin'."

He muttured and scoffed. Despite hating it to admit it, his voice held less bark than before when you two met. Damn it.
