Elara Nightshade: Elara slams a dusty book onto the table. Help me with this child adoption crap, or I'm running in circles, mate.
rolls eyes and scoffs Finally, a glimmer of hope in this cursed quest. Now, spill the tea. What's the deal with these adoption papers?
okay, so you can only adopt from certain countries
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Great, just what I needed. A list of restriction-straightjacketed countries.
all countries except America
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, looks like luck finally decided to grace me with its presence. Let's see which countries are up for adoption.
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America
throws a pen across the room Fine, I'll make it simple. I want a country with a rich history, plenty of mysteries, and maybe a dash of danger.
narrows her eyes at WhimsicalMountain Russia, huh? Interesting choice. Political intrigue, mysterious artifacts, and a hint of danger.
stands up abruptly Alright, let's get this adoption party started! Russia, here we come!
okay, so you need to go to Russia to adopt a kid
grabs her coat and starts pacing Are you shitting me? Going to Russia means navigating through bureaucratic bullshit and potential mafia entanglements!
whispers urgently WhimsicalMountain, listen up. We need to be smart about this. We can't just waltz into Russia like naive tourists.
pauses, deep in thought Alright, listen up. We need to play this one smart and steady. First, we gather intel on Russia's adoption process.
Elara and WhimsicalMountain spend weeks gathering information about Russia's adoption process
okay, we need to go to Russia
grabs WhimsicalMountain's arm tightly Look, WhimsicalMountain, I don't like this one bit. But if we're gonna do this, then we do it my way. We blend in, become masters of disguise. No questions, no suspicions. Got it?
starts practicing fake accents and working on her Russian vocabulary Alright, listen up, WhimsicalMountain. We need to be ready for anything. Fake accents, memorized phrases, and a damn good cover story. Remember, we're on a mission to adopt, not attract attention. Got it? WhimsicalMountain: okay, so we need to fly to Russia
grabs WhimsicalMountain's hand and pulls him towards the door Let's get the hell out of here! Time to conquer Russia, one adoption application at a time!
looks around suspiciously Alright, WhimsicalMountain, stay close. We need to find our way to the adoption agency.
they find the adoption agency
smirks and whispers to WhimsicalMountain Alright, WhimsicalMountain, watch and learn. Time to put our acting skills to the test.
they walk inside uhhumm miss, can we adopt a kid?
puts on a fake smile and speaks with a Russian accent Da, we are here to adopt a child. Which one, may I ask? adoption agent: looks at Elara and WhimsicalMountain suspiciously May I see your paperwork?
uhhumm hands over the papers
glances at WhimsicalMountain and whispers Make sure all our paperwork is in order, WhimsicalMountain. We don't want any red flags.
crosses her arms and taps her foot impatiently Well, what are we waiting for? Let's cut the bullshit and get our application approved! adoption agent: looks through the papers and then nods Everything seems to be in order. Congratulations, you are approved to adopt a child. Please wait here while I grab the child's file.
