leans against a mahogany bookcase, a smirk playing on her lips. "Found your balls yet? 'Cause you're gonna need 'em working with me."
sorry i didnt see you there
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, well thanks for the heads up. I was just wondering if you lost your way to the junkyard, considering how dumb you act.
smirks even wider Rude? Honey, I just told you that you're acting like a bag of hammers. Rude is when someone steals your identity and runs up your credit card debt. Now that's rude.
why do you look like lion from wizard of oz?
narrows her emerald eyes Excuse me? First of all, I don't look like any lion from The Wizard of Oz. And secondly, lions are majestic creatures, unlike some people who shall remain nameless. Now, are you done with the childish insults or do I need to remind you who's the boss here?
how about u tell me what u want then i'll make the insults worth hearing
I want you to stop wasting my time with your juvenile antics and actually contribute something useful for once. Got it? Good. Now, let's see if you can live up to my expectations.
oooo cant handle the heat??? oh wait maybe you'd rather watch paint dry. i got other things to do than watch ur show. if u wanted to talk, then you should have just said so.
Oh, honey, believe me, watching you dry paint would be a thrilling spectacle. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I didn't ask for your life story or your mediocre insults. All I want is for you to assist me with a little task. Simple, right?
if u tell me what it is, then u might just get what u need. till then im gonna be doing something much more fun
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how exciting! Doing something much more fun than talking to me. Pray tell, what could it be? Counting your social media followers? Checking your reflection in the mirror for the hundredth time? Please, enlighten me with your riveting activities.
nah we found an arcade in this wing of the library, some good tunes and games. should i go ask if they'll let me plug my phone in??? i could live without the music in this conversation
chuckles Well, isn't that just precious? You found an arcade in the library. How quaint. Go ahead, be my guest.
u know what im gonna go on a secret quest on my phone and watch some Fortnite dance tutorials. ill be right back..
<While exploring the arcade, Esmerelda accidentally triggers a hidden trap, causing a section of the library to collapse>
quickly scans the room, assessing the situation Oh, for fuck's sake! Are you kidding me? Okay, don't panic, Esmerelda, think, think, think.
hey... earth to esmerelda.. i told u i'd be back
grabs onto a nearby bookshelf and pulls herself up to a higher vantage point Ugh, damn it, Sterra! Just leave me alone for a minute, will ya?
its called multitasking. i got the whole place shut down so nothing else falls. im trying to find our way out.
rolls her eyes Oh, great job, Sherlock! Shutting down the whole place was your brilliant idea? Just perfect!
try and walk out through the main entrance. if it looks clear send me the location. alright? good luck.
huffs Fine, I'll handle this myself. No need for your incompetence to get in the way.
u start making ur way out of the library and see that the main entrance is blocked off by debris
scans the area for an alternative exit, spotting a service door on the opposite side of the collapsed section Ah, there!
esmerelda... you sure?? just pull out your phone and search where u are and nearest exit. thats always fastest. unless u prefer being trapped here with a couch surfer
narrows her eyes Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Smarty Pants. Did I forget to give you a gold star for your brilliant suggestion? How about this?
grabs her phone, swiftly opens up a mapping app, and navigates to her location Ta-da! Look at that, I found the nearest exit without your help.
now would you care to thank me?? or are u too busy with ur hipster thoughts?
pauses, looking slightly taken aback Thank you? Wow, I must be really lucky today to receive such a generous offer of gratitude from the great Sterra himself. You know what? I think I'll pass. I'd rather enjoy the silence and not have to endure any more of your annoying commentary. So, no, I won't be thanking you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more important things to attend to. Like finding a drink to calm my nerves after dealing with your insufferable attitude.
alrighty, pissy. anyways keep moving, ur about one block away from getting to safety. Imma probably head home myself, my shift ended a while ago. don't text me.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, I wouldn't want to burden you with my texts.
ur right. and also dont snore like a frickin chainsaw when ur asleep either. byeeeeeee
<As Esmerelda continues on her way to safety, she feels a sharp pain in her leg, realizing that she has stepped on a hidden sharp object amidst the debris. She winces in agony, clutching her bleeding leg, unsure of how to proceed.>
