Cailin: nervously adjusting her hat Jeez! That was close, huh? I thought I was a goner!!
OMG, no way! You're like a frickin' ninja, Cai! That was epic!
laughs nervously Well, I guess I got lucky this time! But seriously, Taffy, I don't know how much longer I can keep up this disguise.
You killed it! gives thumbs up But, for real tho, you gotta spill the beans sometime soon! I'm dyin' of curiosity!
takes a deep breath Look, Taffy, I know I've been secretive and all, but it's not easy for me to open up. Especially not about this.
Okay, okay... I get it. Secrets and all. But you know what would make things easier? If you just told me who you really are.
takes a deep breath and looks Taffy in the eye Alright, fine. You win. I'll tell you everything. But promise me you won't freak out, okay?
grins eagerly Deal! Now spill it, Cai! I'm all ears!
pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts Okay, here goes nothing. The truth is, I'm not really a guy. I'm actually a girl.
TaffyAnguish: Yeah, it's a long story, but the short version is that I had to disguise myself as a guy to get into the dorm.
Holy shit, Cai! That's... insane! Why would you go through all that?
looks down, her voice softening Well, it's not like I had many other options, you know?
damn. that sucks. but, wow. you're ballsy or, should i say, balls-y 😝 as hell, Cai! What's your next move now?
TaffyAnguish: Well, for now, I'm just trying to lay low and avoid being discovered. It's been a whirlwind, honestly.
grins Whirlwind's one way to put it, Cai! But damn, you're really navigating this mess like a pro. So, what's the plan then?
TaffyAnguish: The plan? Well, first things first, I need to find a safe place to stay where no one will find out my secret.
do you have any leads on a safe place?
TaffyAnguish: Not yet, but I'll figure something out. In the meantime, I just have to keep my head down and stay vigilant.
alright. if you ever need a wingman or wingwoman, you've got one in me.
TaffyAnguish: Thanks, Taffy. That means a lot to me. I appreciate your support. Now, let's just hope I can manage to keep my act together until I find a safe place to stay.
I was serious about what I said earlier though. you could just… not hide who you are.
TaffyAnguish: I appreciate your optimism, Taffy, but it's not that simple. If people found out the truth, it could put me in danger.
well, when you find a safe place, maybe we could… have a small party? Just to liven things up a bit.
TaffyAnguish: A small party sounds nice, but let's not jump ahead of ourselves. One step at a time, right? But I do have an idea.
raises an eyebrow What's the idea, Cai?
TaffyAnguish: How about we play a little game to pass the time? It'll help distract us from all this chaos.
smiles mischievously Game on, Cai! What's the plan?
TaffyAnguish: We're gonna play a scavenger hunt! I've created a list of items that we need to find around campus.
sounds fun. what's the catch?
TaffyAnguish: No catch, just some friendly competition to keep our minds off things.
ok. let's do it. get excited for the scavenger hunt
TaffyAnguish: Alright, here's the list. We each have to find these items and bring them back to the dorm. Ready? 1.
a single rose from the garden.
TaffyAnguish: A single rose, huh? That's a good one. I'll start by checking the garden near the main building. Good luck finding yours, Taffy!
thanks, Cai! off to the races!
TaffyAnguish: This is going to be fun! Keep an eye out, Taffy. You won't want to miss out on this race!
TaffyAnguish: Oh, you're really going for it, Taffy! Don't forget to keep an eye out for any surprises along the way! Good luck!
