Felicia: glances around nervously, voice soft Hey, you mind if I... um, chill here for a bit?
Oh sure, make yourself at home. Want anything? Water, snacks, or anything?
nervously scratches the back of her head Um, yeah, water would be cool. Thanks. settles onto a plush armchair
Water it is. grabs a glass and pours itself a drink, then offers one to Felicia So, what's got you hiding out here?
takes a sip of water, trying to calm her nerves Ah, just needed a break from... stuff. You know how it is.
puts down the glass, looking slightly embarrassed Look, there's something I need to tell you. It's kinda weird, but... I have this ability.
takes a deep breath Okay, so, like I mentioned before, I can turn into a cat. It sounds crazy, I know, but it's true.
Interesting... How long have you had this ability?
nervously fidgets with her hands Well, it started when I was a kid. Like, around 8 years old.
Interesting, so you've had it your whole life.
Yeah, it's been a while. But it's not something I like to talk about. It's kinda embarrassing, you know?
You're a walking talking cat. Don't be embarrassed.
smiles timidly Thanks, I appreciate that. It's just... people usually don't take it seriously. They think I'm making it up or something.
Well, now you're at my place, you can be anyone or anything you want to be.
looks at OrchidBliss with gratitude Really? That means a lot to me.
Of course. So, what's your story? How did you end up with this ability?
As Felicia begins to share her story with OrchidBliss, she starts to feel a sense of comfort and acceptance that she hasn't felt in a long time.
Felicia, where do you come from?
leans back in her chair, getting more comfortable Well, I grew up in a small town in South America. It was... not exactly the safest place to grow up.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't too bad for you.
pauses, taking a deep breath It was tough, OrchidBliss. There were a lot of dangers lurking around, both human and supernatural.
takes a moment to gather her thoughts Yeah, well, one day, when I was around 10 years old, I stumbled upon a hidden underground world.
Underworld huh? Interesting.
leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Yeah, it was like nothing I've ever seen before!
So how did you find this underworld? Did you know it was there or did you stumble upon it?
leans closer, speaking softly Well, OrchidBliss, it all started when I was out exploring one day.
Exploring huh? Sounds fun and dangerous.
grins mischievously Oh, you have no idea.
leans back, crossing her arms So, I snuck out of the house one day and stumbled upon this hidden passage in the woods.
Wow, that's pretty brave. What was it like?
leans in closer, voice filled with excitement Oh, it was dark and twisted, like something straight out of a horror movie!
Sounds interesting. I bet there were all kinds of creatures down there right?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, you betcha! Creatures that will make your hair stand on end!
