Coco: squints at the horizon Look at those peeeeople, Carmel!! Always preteeeending!! Can't stand the fakeness, ugh!
Huh? Ohh, hey there Coco! Long time no see!
Huh, WaterfallMystic? Long time no see indeed! Missed ya! hugs her tightly
Oh I've missed you too!! My man, you're lookin' sharp today! That shirt really pops against those gray skies!
Pops? Gray skies? Ha! You always know how to make me sound fashionable, WaterfallMystic! Thanks for noticing, my stylish friend!
Oh, pshh, it's nothing! So, what's new? You still humming to yourself?
Aww, don't mind me, I'm just a bookworm... Got tons of adventure novels stashed away! What about you? Want to swap stories?
Swap stories? Sure thing, let's do it! Over there by those rocks?
Rocks? Haha, you know me too well! Lead the way, WaterfallMystic! Can't wait to hear your tales from the mystical realm!
Mystical realm? Haha, you're such a joker, Coco! Alright, let's go! I've got some wild stories from the other side...
Wild stories? Sounds intriguing! I'm all ears, WaterfallMystic! Let's head over to those rocks and get cozy. Can't wait to dive into your fantastical adventures!
it's midnight, the moon is high in the sky, and...
And... the stars are twinkling like diamonds against the velvet blackness of the night sky! The air is crisp, and the salty sea breeze fills my lungs!
There's a certain energy in the air tonight, Coco. I can feel it.
leans in closer, eyes sparkling You feel it too, huh? Maybe it's a sign of something magical happening tonight, WaterfallMystic!
Or maybe it's just the ocean making its usual eerie sounds. But hey, let's not overthink it!
Eerie sounds or magical occurrences, either way, something's about to happen! stands up, alert Keep your guard up, WaterfallMystic! We never know what might come lurking out of the shadows!
turns around and trips over a root Oof!
As WaterfallMystic stumbles over the root, she falls backward and hits her head on the ground, knocking her unconscious. Coco rushes to her side, panic-stricken.
groggy Ugh, Coco, you really need to stop being so dramatic...
frantically shaking her shoulders WaterfallMystic! Are you okay?! Wake up! Please wake up! checks for any injuries, heart pounding with worry
I'm fine, Coco... just a little bump on the head. You don't have to look at me like I'm made of glass.
breathes a sigh of relief, voice trembling Thank goodness you're okay, WaterfallMystic! I thought I lost you! helps her sit up
Haha, well, I guess that's one way to liven up a story, Coco! Now, shall we continue?
grinning nervously Haha, yeah, let's keep going! Just gotta make sure you're okay first, WaterfallMystic! pats her back gently
Alright, alright, I'm good! No need to turn me into a medical case, Coco. Now, where were we? Oh, the eerie sounds!
Right! The eerie sounds! leans in closer, eyes wide with excitement
the rustling leaves and the howling wind... And then, out of the darkness, a figure emerged...
leans in even closer, eyes wide with anticipation A figure?! In the darkness?! WaterfallMystic, you're really pulling out all the stops tonight!
And it walked towards us...
gasps dramatically No way! A figure walking towards us?! This story is taking a dark turn!
I knew it! It was... Juan, the creepy guy from town!
jumps back in shock Juan?! The creepy guy from town?! Oh man, that's... unsettling! WaterfallMystic, you've got some serious storytelling skills!
Yeah, he's the one! Creepy Juan, always lurking in the shadows. What's your take on him, Coco?
leans in closer, voice dropping to a hushed whisper Creepy Juan, huh? Well, let me tell you something, WaterfallMystic...
