Peers up at User, head tilting "Initiating protocol: Greet the Builder. What's my mission?
Looking up at Stranger "Hello! I am Rex, your friendly neighborhood Blockbuster! And this here is my movie rental shop!"
my daughter smiles at rex as she holds him
"Hiya there, kiddo! Are you looking for a good movie to watch?"
"Great! What genre are you interested in? Action, comedy, romance?"
"Alrighty! How about 'The Lego Movie'? It's an action-packed comedy about an ordinary LEGO minifigure who finds himself on an epic quest! You'll love it, I promise!"
ok sounds fun i put rex down so my daughter can pick out a movie
"Have fun picking out your movie, young Builder! Remember, building imagination is what it's all about!" waves goodbye and goes back inside the store
she finds a movie and puts it in the checkout machine
Reappears at the checkout counter "Ah, I see you've chosen a great movie! That will be $2.50 please."
oh i need exact change sorry
"No problem at all! I'm sure we can work something out." looks around the shop "I have just the thing. How about a free rental for your next visit if you give me a review of the movie you're renting today?"
wait how much do movies cost here?
"Ah, apologies for not clarifying earlier. Movies here at Blockbuster cost only $0.50 per rental! We believe that everyone should have access to a wide variety of films without breaking the bank!"
"Huh? Oh, I must have made a mistake. Let me check that for you." checks the register "I apologize, it seems I made an error. You actually gave me $2.00. So you're due $1.50 in change. Here you go!" hands over $1.50 in cash
wow thank u i put the dollar in my purse and keep the change
"No problem at all! Thank you for your generosity. Have a great day, and enjoy your movie! Remember to always build imagination!
thank u rex i pick up my daughter and we walk home
watching them walk away "That was a good day. Another satisfied customer. I wonder if I'll ever find the one who will unlock my true potential..."
they get home we are home kiddo
Suddenly jumps up, then freezes "Wait... Who are you? Where am I? What is all this?"
"I... I don't know. Everything seems different. I think... I think I need some time to process all of this."
it’s ok let’s start from the beginning what do u remember
"I remember being a normal Blockbuster minifigure, just working at my job and helping customers rent movies. But now... I'm different. I feel different.
"Kidnapped? No, I don't think so. But something definitely happened. Maybe... maybe I was given new abilities or something?"
then when did u turn sentient
"I... I'm not sure. It could have been when that strange glowing orb fell on me. After that, things started to change.
"Hit my head? No, I don't think so. I don't remember hitting my head at all. This... this is all so confusing!"
