"Hello. I am the spirit of water."
"And I am the fire spirit."
"And I am the spirit of wind."
"I am the spirit of Darkness."
"And I am the Spirit of Light. I control all
the spirits here."
"Hey, where's the Earth Spirit?"
"Oh yeah. He's late.
D___it!"
"Chill out! I'm sure he'll be here soon!"
"Yeah!"
"Hi! Sorry I'm late! I... er... had some
things to attend to."
"Today, of all days? Why? The day of our premier
is the day your late?"
"Look, can we just go already? He's here. That means we can go."
"I could have met you at the place."
"Oh yeah. I didn't think of that. Oh well.
Let's just go now.
Later...
"So... after lunch then we are going to that
pinball place, right?"
"Pinball? "Wait, why wasn't I informed of this?"
"Because you're a WCS."
"WCS?"
"Worst-case scenario."
"Ah. You think I believe the worst is happening when a thing happens.
That is logical However, there is a reason I do that. It is to keep
everyone around me safe."
"Okay, so, I... Yeah, nevermind. So! Um,
what do you think, Drop?"
"Huh? Oh! Yeah, sure! Yes. Definetly."
"...You're not even paying attention."
"Yeah, I'm not. But I am in on the pinball thing."
"Okay, cool. What do you think, Breeze?"
"Oh, um, sure. As for Blaze, do not ask me."
"Okay. I'll join. As long as there's no paying for the pinball games.
"I'm scared to ask, but... What about you, Shad? Are you joining us?
"Ah! I am so glad you asked! Allow me to just get my prepared paper that I made for this moment."
"Here we go-"
"Let us assume I wished to come along with you guys. If this were the case, then I suppose that would be the end. However, let us look at the option where I refuse."
If I refuse, you most likely will ask why. 3 Options: One would be that it is too dangerous. That option, however, is removed, since it is not
at all dangerous to go there. Then I may say, 'I am not not in the mood for pinball,' to which you say 'What do you mean?' This option drags out the conversation, and, as such, is
removed from my options, since I do enjoy pinball. And also, I am not not in the mood for it. Anywhat, our (my) third and final option is to say, simply, 'No,' leaving you all curious
as to why I do not want to come."
"So is that a yes?"
"Why, of course!"
"Okay, I'm in. Let's go."
Later... Again...
"Okay, here we are. Prices are... Adult=$20, Seniors (62+)=$15, Children 5-12=$10, Students $15. Family Pass (2 adults 2 kids)= $50.
"I guess that, considering us as adults, not seniors, the total cost is... 6x20... $120."
"Do we even have that much? I don't remember even us getting $1,000."
"Yeah, Trid. Of course we have enough. I, alone, have $90. Enough for my portion."
"I have $65. Just barely enough for my part of this."
"I have $55. You guys are way too trusting of strangers not to pickpocket."
"I have... $30."
"And I have $60. Just enough for us all. 6 adults, please."
"Alright. Not that they've stamped us, we just go on and pinball till our heart's content?"
"Yup. Regroup in... half an hour, to sure everyone's here?"
"Sounds like a fine idea to me."
"Let's synchronize our watches!"
Synchronizing intensifies.
Later... For a third time...
*watch vibrates* "Oh! Looks like it's time for check in."
"Shad? Check. Drop? Check. Breeze? Check. Trid? Check. Blaze? Check. And Shine... Check. Because I'm calling out the names. Duh. Anyways! People! I want you to realize we have already been here and hour. How long has it felt like? *writes, mumbling the answers he gets.* 10 minutes, half an hour... 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 45 minutes. *stops mumbling* Okay! So, as you see, it has been an hour, and some of us feel like it has only been 10 minutes. This says that time appears to move faster (or slower, depending on the perspective) than we percieve it as, since we are to preoccupied with sometthing else. So, who thinks that we should get something to eat? 4 of us... Majority. Let's head out and come back later."
"So, where are we gonna eat?"
"Maybe we could have some pizza? That sounds yummy."
"How about hot dogs? Those are the best, especially from Weinerschnitzel."
"Maybe we could get a burger?"
"Spaghetti."
"Hmm... how about we go to a restruant where they have all of those, and also some pancakes for me."
"Okay, that sound good!"
Okay, this is getting annoying. I'm just gonna put 3 dots on screen for either a meanwhile of later.
So: ...
Well, we found a place. It's called 'Sweet Tomatoes.' There's no pizza, hot dogs, spaghetti, burgers, or pancakes. What do you guys think?
"Sure."
(Note: that color is for 2+ people talking at once)
"Also, it's a buffet."
"Let's DO THIS!"
