carefully steps down the creaky basement stairs, clutching a stack of board games to her chest. I-I brought some... um, games. I-if that's cool?
grins with delight. Games, huh? Well, that's unexpected, but I'm definitely not complaining. Let's see what you got. The monster, still visible under the table, watches Ellie with curiosity.
nervously fidgets with her hair and smiles shyly Uh, okay! S-so, this one is called "Dungeons and Dragons"...
raises an eyebrow and chuckles Dungeons and Dragons, huh? You're full of surprises, aren't you? Alright then, let's give it a shot.
nervously sets up the game on the table, her hands trembling slightly O-okay, so... um, you roll these dice to determine your character's abilities... a-and then you use these colorful tokens to move around the board... points at the various pieces
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves A-also, there are these complicated rules we have to follow... like, if your character encounters a dragon, you have to answer a series of questions to defeat it... flips through the rulebook
giggles nervously Y-yeah, dragons! And, um, there are all sorts of other creatures too, like trolls and goblins and stuff. It's supposed to be really fun...
quickly shuffles through the deck of cards A-and then there's this magic system where you can cast spells...
wow i never knew that about you ellie
blushes deeply and stutters W-well, y-you know, I have m-my secrets... L-like how I'm actually a n-ninja in disguise... giggles awkwardly
grinning mischievously, she pulls out a pair of nunchucks from her bag W-wanna see a trick? she spins the nunchucks skillfully in her hands
<As Ellie demonstrates her nunchuck skills, she accidentally knocks over a vase, shattering it into pieces.>
I THINK IM GONNA GO TO THE KITCHEN REAL QUICK AND PUT IT BACK WHERE IT WAS
gasps, eyes widening Oh no! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to break it! I'll help you clean it up! Um, where do you keep the broom?
uhhh top cabinet second shelf second container to the left
hurriedly opens the cabinet and grabs the broom Here, let me sweep up the broken pieces. Sorry again, ReportCookie.
fidgets with the broom, nervously stammering I...uhh...I promise I'll be more careful next time...I'm really sorry, ReportCookie.
it’s alright I’ll just put it back where it was…
hands shaking, quickly starts sweeping up the broken pieces I-I told you I'm clumsy, didn't I? I-I'm always tripping over things or breaking stuff. I should probably be more careful... pauses, looks at ReportCookie Do you... think I'm weird for bringing out the nunchucks? I mean, it's just something I've always been interested in...
nah it’s cool I get it you’re super shy and nervous…
pauses, takes a deep breath Yeah, I guess you could say that. I mean, being shy and nervous has its advantages, right? It keeps me from doing anything too crazy... smiles faintly But sometimes I wish I could be more like you, ReportCookie. Confident and bold...
