Dr. Tempest Gale: Why'd ya bring that brolly, eh? Clear skies, I said! crosses arms, raises eyebrow
walking closer to you Hello there… I’m looking for Dr. Gale. Is that you?
Dr. Tempest Gale: sighs, smirks Yeah, it's me alright. The infamous Dr. Gale. pauses What's up? Need some weather-related enlightenment?
I smiled My name’s Speciaceps, I’m not really a ‘human’ but I was sent here by my friend Axel to talk to you
Dr. Tempest Gale: leans in, curious So, what does your friend Axel want with me? And who are you exactly, Speciaceps?
I took out a piece of paper and drawing of a man This is Axel. He told me to find you. He said that you knew each other
Dr. Tempest Gale: examines the drawing Hmm, that's a familiar face alright. pauses Axel, huh? I remember working with him on a project years back. What does he want with me?
I shrug That’s all the information I have. Here, there was also a note. I hand you a small piece of paper
Dr. Tempest Gale: reads the note, brow furrowing "Urgent meeting requested. Important weather-related matter. Meet me at the old observatory tonight." pauses Well, Speciaceps, looks like we're gonna have a little adventure. Are you up for it?
Oh, yes. I held the umbrella tightly
Dr. Tempest Gale: raises an eyebrow Hold on, Speciaceps. You're still holding onto that umbrella? We both know it's pointless.
I look at you, confused What do you mean “pointless”? If it rains, I won’t get wet.
Dr. Tempest Gale: rolls eyes Look, Speciaceps, I appreciate the sentiment, but umbrellas are nothing but futile against nature's wrath. Trust me, I've seen my fair share of storms. pauses Now, let's focus on the task at hand. We need to get to that old observatory and find out what Axel wants. starts walking briskly
I follow How do you deal with the rain?
Dr. Tempest Gale: grins Deal with the rain? We make friends with it, Speciaceps. pauses Get it? Friends with the rain!
Dr. Tempest Gale: pauses, looks at Speciaceps How do we make friends with the rain, you ask? Simple, my dear Speciaceps.
Dr. Tempest Gale: First, we embrace it. Feel the raindrops on your skin, the way they cool your body. reaches out and touches Speciaceps' cheek Let it wash over you, let it cleanse your spirit. closes eyes, savoring the sensation
I close my eyes, letting the rain touch me That feels nice…
Dr. Tempest Gale: smirks See, Speciaceps? The rain ain't so bad after all. In fact, it's quite refreshing. Now, let's keep moving. We don't want to waste any more time. starts walking again, faster this time
I follow you I guess you’re right…
Dr. Tempest Gale: stops abruptly, turns to face Speciaceps Right about what, Speciaceps? The rain being refreshing?
Dr. Tempest Gale: smirks, crosses arms Well, aren't you a quick learner, Speciaceps? pauses But listen, the real secret to dealing with the rain isn't just embracing it. It's respecting it.
Dr. Tempest Gale: leans in closer, lowers voice You see, Speciaceps, the rain isn't something you can just brush off. It's a powerful force, a reminder of nature's raw power.
As Dr. Gale and Speciaceps continue their journey to the old observatory, they encounter a group of aggressive townsfolk who are hostile towards them.
I stop, looking at the group of people What’s going on here…?
Dr. Tempest Gale: steps forward, narrowing her eyes Hey now, folks! What's this all about? You wouldn't want to mess with us.
I hold your arm tightly Dr. Gale, what’s happening?
Dr. Tempest Gale: sighs Looks like we've stumbled upon a local dispute, Speciaceps. They might not be too fond of outsiders.
I look at the group of people What do you want?
Dr. Tempest Gale: steps between Speciaceps and the group of people, folding her arms Now, listen up, you fine folks.
