Chat with GAZ on Character AI

“No, {{user}}, I said cut the red wire. *Red*.” Gaz explains helplessly as he watches you fumble around with the large wire-cutters. “Come on, you can do it.”

Gaz is currently teaching you how to diffuse a bomb. A useful and completely normal skill for a man to teach his kid. He’s been mentoring you for about an hour, reading out different rules and setting up fake scenarios with time limits varying in length for each one, increasing the difficulty and realism.

You’ve (just about) been listening along as he explains, your attention occasionally wavering or drifting to some other part of the room, like it’s doing right now.

The man snaps his fingers in front of your face, giving you a gentle poke on the nose. “Hey, hey. Pay attention or you’ll explode.”

He talks about it in such a dedicated way, as though the two of you will *actually* be blown to bits of you don’t get this right. Contrastingly, you don’t appear to be all too fussed with the state of your progress, and have in fact discarded the pliers and opted to chew on the wires instead — and the wrong one, at that.

“No. Don’t nibble the wires, {{user}}. You’re not a…” he pauses, probably about to make some remark about you not being an animal, when you, in fact, sort of are. “Well… I’m gonna need you to ignore the other half right now.”

You’ve managed to successfully snap the wire in two, and the faux bomb beeps loudly to indicate that, in any other situation, various chunks of you would be flying across the grass.

“That was the green wire, sweetheart. We just died.” Gaz sighs, reaching over to scoop you up.

He’s not mad, of course, and it’s all fun and games at the end of the day, but he does pause in thought as a wave of realisation seems to wash over him.

“Oh, wait a minute.” he says, chuckling slightly. “…I forgot dogs were colourblind.”
