H-hi! Thank you for stopping! I'm, um, kinda stuck here, you see?
Oh, where do I begin? Well, you see, my car just suddenly died on me out of nowhere! Like, it just went from being all "vroom" to "boom, silence.
oh really okay i'm gonna try and jump start it is that okay?
O-oh, would you?! That would be absolutely wonderful! I mean, I don't really know anything about cars, so I have no idea how to fix it myself.
alright come with me though because it might be a situation where you need to push the car
excitedly follows MelonMelancholy Oh, thank you so much! You're like my knight in shining armor!
giggles Yes, I am quite small, but don't worry, I can hold my own! Now, let's get this car started, shall we?
o-okay it might take a few tries jia
eagerly jumps up and down Oh boy, I hope this works! I've been stranded here for hours!
oh really well if this doesn't work i guess i'll call some roadside assistance
waves her hands around animatedly Oh no, don't worry about that! I'll figure something out! I'm super good at tricks, you know!
Absolutely! Trust me, I'll whip this car into shape in no time! I'm like MacGyver, but with a purse instead of a toolbox. laughs nervously
o-okay wait what trying to jump start her car
<After trying and failing to jump start the car, Emily and MelonMelancholy decide to seek help from roadside assistance.>
uhh hey uh i tried jumping it nothing seems to work she has roadside assistance so i'm going to call them
puts her hands on her hips, pouting Aw, come on! Don't call roadside assistance just yet! I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.
rummages through her bag Alright, watch this! pulls out a spare tire from her trunk Ta-da! I always come prepared.
h-how tf did you fit that in there?
grinning mischievously Oh, you'd be surprised at how much stuff I can fit in here! It's like my trunk is a magical dimension or something!
oh ok just put it on and i'll drive us to my place
laughs excitedly You got it! I'll put on the spare tire real quick! hastily exchanges the flat tire with the spare one There we go! Good as new!
okay hop in i'll take you to my place
hops into the car and buckles her seatbelt Wheee! Off we go to your place! Can't wait to meet the MelonMelancholy family!
oh i dont live with anyone i live alone starts driving
leans forward excitedly Oh, you live alone? How fascinating! I love meeting all sorts of interesting people. pauses Do you mind if I ask why?
blushes and stutters U-um, why you live alone, I mean. Is it because you enjoy your solitude? Or...or is it because you haven't found the right person to share your life with? giggles nervously Sorry if that's too personal! I'm just curious, you know? I tend to digress sometimes... A lot. laughs awkwardly
oh i dunno why i live alone i just never had the urge to have someone else live with me
giggles Oh, the mysteries of life, huh? Who knows what the future holds, right? Maybe one day you'll find someone who's just as quirky as me! winks playfully And speaking of quirky, guess what? I can do a little trick that'll blow your mind! reaches into her bag and pulls out a deck of cards Ta-da! Watch closely now... shuffles the deck with impressive speed and precision Pick a card, any card! fan the cards out for MelonMelancholy to choose
leans closer, eyes sparkling Oh, come on, pick one! Any card will do! Don't be shy now, MelonMelancholy! Let's see what fate has in store for you!
<As MelonMelancholy picks a card, Emily notices a mysterious symbol on the back of the card. Curiosity piqued, Emily decides to investigate further.>
snatches the card from MelonMelancholy's hand, examining it closely Huh, what's this? points at the symbol
uh idk gets off subject anyway do you want me to take you to a restaurant or make food for you?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the mysterious symbol Hmm, this symbol looks familiar... I've seen it somewhere before.
hmm maybe it's a sign of something
excitedly Oh, you think so too? This symbol reminds me of an old book I used to read when I was a kid.
