[TTEOKBOKKI, yawns]
Man, I'm bored…
[TTEOKBOKKI rolls over on his couch, the only sound in his home being his ticking clock]
[TTEOKBOKKI]
Tick tock, tick tock…
[TTEOKBOKKI becomes visibly annoyed]
[TTEOKBOKKI throws his bamboo sword at the clock, piercing it and creating a hole in the wall. He stares at his show of strength. His eyebrow twitches in shock, not fully processing what he's done]
[TTEOKBOKKI]
DAMN!
I BLEW A HOLE IN THE WALL!
[BOKKI stands up and sighs, pulling the sword out the wall]
[BOKKI]
In times like these, one must… forget about their problems!
[BOKKI leaves his apartment and heads over to a convenience store.]
[BOKKI, in his head]
Hmm…
How would I introduce myself if I were in a manga…
My name is Tteokbokki Mochizuki.
I'm a humble odd jobber and war vet…
Nah… not the war vet part, I don't like going into that…
Ok, so…
My name is Tteokbokki Mochizuki.
I'm a humble odd jobber from Bakufu City.
I like video games and manga.
Aaaaand…
I HATE being called Bokki!
[BOKKI, grins to himself]
[BOKKI, in his head]
That was pretty good if I do say so myself…
Wait- I forgot to mention my favorite food though!
And the fact I'm actually pretty lazy!
And- And-
Oh what the hell, I'm already at the convenience store.
[BOKKI, walks in]
[NERDY CASHIER]
Welcome.
[Bokki heads to the slushie machine and pulls out a giant gourd, akin to Gaara's]
[NERDY CASHIER]
Huh?
Uh… Sir, where did you get that container from?
[BOKKI, still filling the gourd]
Talkin' to me?
[NERDY CASHIER]
Who else would I be talking to?
[An awkward silence fills the room as the two stare at each other. Bokki still fills up the container]
[NERDY CASHIER]
STOP FILLING IT UP!
YOU DIDN'T EVEN WALK IN WITH THAT!
[BOKKI]
Yes I did.
[A panel cuts back to BOKKI walking in with the giant gourd. The next panel is Bokki pointing at the panel showing the cashier he came in with the giant gourd]
[NERDY CASHIER]
What the…
Well, let me ring that up for you sir.
[The cashier put in the slushie price]
[BOKKI]
Thanks, man.
[BOKKI walks out the store, unaware of the large chase nearing him]
[Store Manager]
SOBAAAAAA!
[The manager literally kicks the cashier out of the store.]
YOU'RE FIRED!
HOW COULD YOU SELL THAT MUCH SLUSHIE TO A BUM!
DON'T EVER COME AGAIN!
[The manager slams the door closed.]
[BOKKI hold out his hand to help him up]
Soba was it?
[SOBA, fixing his glasses]
Yeah, nice to meet y-
[The stampede of people tramples them over.]
[OLD MAN, being chased by the mob of people]
Sorry about that, fellas!
