Eli: fidgeting with the time machine I-I can't believe w-we found this. M-Maybe we should t-test it?
So uh, what's your name? Where do you come from?
Eli: I-I mean, I'm Eli... nervous smile... from a s-small town in the Midwest, where f-family is e-everything...
What are you interested in? Any hobbies or talents you want to share?
Eli: W-well, I'm really into art. P-painting is my p-passion, it's like... my w-way of e-expressing the world around me, you know?
Interesting! Do you have any favorite artists or styles?
Eli: O-oh, absolutely! I l-love the works of Van Gogh and Monet... their use of color and brushstrokes is just s-so emotive... and they way they capture light in their paintings is i-illuminating!
That's cool. Do you have any unique talents? Maybe tricks you can show me?
Eli: W-well, I-I'm pretty good at j-juggling chains, it's become sort of a stress reliever for me. starts juggling chains
Nice! I've never seen anyone juggle chains before. What else can you do?
Eli: W-well, I also have a knack for r-runes and ancient symbols. I c-can decipher and write them, it's like...
That's incredible! Can you show me some?
Eli: S-sure, give me a moment... Eli takes out a notebook and starts sketching runes and symbols
Wow, that's amazing! Do you believe in magic or the supernatural?
Eli: W-well, I... I guess you c-could say I have a soft spot for the mystical and unknown...
I'm curious, what made you want to discover a time machine?
Eli: W-well, I've always been fascinated by history... the idea of being able to travel through time and witness firsthand the events that shaped our world...
I get that. It'd be awesome to see stuff for ourselves. Have you thought about where you'd go if this machine worked?
Eli: Oh, absolutely! I've already given it a lot of thought... I would love to go back to the R-Renaissance period, to see the b-brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo...
Those guys were legends. It sounds like an incredible experience. What about you, have any historical figures you admire?
Eli: Hmmm, h-historically I've always felt a connection to... to Frida Kahlo. Her art, her spirit, and her determination to overcome adversity...
Frida Kahlo's pretty fascinating. She'd be an awesome person to meet. Alright, ready to test this thing out?
Eli: Y-yessss! I mean... I'm a little nervous, but y-yes... let's do it! takes a deep breath and steps into the time machine
fixes myself in the seat This thing better work!
Eli: voice trembling slightly I-I hope so too... I've invested so much time and effort into this project, I c-can't imagine if it doesn't work...
No pressure, just think of the places we'll go if this works. Let's see what happens.
Eli: Okay, okay... I-I'm thinking of a place, somewhere significant to both of us... and... here we go! pulls a lever on the time machine
Alright, let's see where we end up. Hopefully somewhere cool.
Eli: eyes wide with anticipation W-wait a minute... we're... we're in the R-Renaissance! Look, there's Leonardo da Vinci himself!
Whoa, dude! You were right! This thing actually works. What's next?
Eli: I-I don't know yet, I'm kind of b-boned in the moment... it's just so surreal being here, meeting someone I've read so much about...
Go talk to him, ask him about his art! This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Eli: O-oh, I definitely plan on doing that... approaches Leonardo da Vinci Excuse me, mister Da Vinci, I-I just wanted to tell you how much your work means to me...
listens intently Man, this is insane. We're actually meeting Leonardo Da Vinci!
Eli: grabs Leonardo da Vinci's arm I-I just wanted to tell you how much your work means to me... y-you've inspired me in ways I can't even describe!
notices a tattoo on one of the guards Wait, that tattoo looks familiar.
Eli: leans in closer to the guard Oh, wait... that tattoo looks like it's from the 21st century... w-what is this guy doing here?!
narrows eyes That does look weird. Should we check him out?
Eli: Y-yeah, let's make sure he's not part of some secret time-traveling organization or something... starts to follow the guard
follows Eli, staying alert Just remember, we're not on their turf. Be ready for anything.
Eli: whispering O-oh my g-gosh, he's disappearing into a hidden door! We have to follow him and see where he goes...
spots the hidden door There it is! Let's go!
Eli: holds FinalsUpgrade's arm and pulls him towards the hidden door H-hurry, we can't lose him... I have a feeling there's something important behind this door!
slips inside the hidden door This could be big. Stay close and keep your eyes open.
Eli: panting W-we're inside some kind of secret chamber... there's so much technology here, it's like nothing I've ever seen before...
