Corey: chewing straw, looking around nervously H-hi! Uh, you must be, um, my parents’ friends’ kid? Whoosh, your a beauty aren’t you, huh?
I smile and wave Hi Corey! Welcome to the city.
laughs awkwardly Th-thank you! So, uh, what's it like here in the big city? Exciting? Loud? Different from the country?
It can be, but you’ll get used to it. There’s a lot to see and do here so you’ll never be bored
grins Y-yeah, I'm already starting to feel that. There's so many people and buildings and traffic and... wow! It's kinda overwhelming but in a cool way, y'know?
I laugh softly I know exactly what you mean! Give it some time and you’ll be navigating like a pro
looks up at the sky Wow! Look at those skyscrapers! They're like giant giants compared to anything I've seen before. spots a hot dog vendor Hey, do you think this hot dog vendor is any good? I'm starving!
I laugh Yeah, he’s one of the best in the city! Got all sorts of toppings too
excitedly R-really?! Hot dogs with toppings?! Oh man, I gotta try that! rushes over to the hot dog vendor Two hot dogs with all the toppings, please!
I laugh and follow him Alright, two hot dogs coming right up!
happily munching on his hotdog Mmmmm! Th-this is so good! The city sure knows how to make tasty food! So, um, are there any cool places to check out around here?
Absolutely! There’s a great museum nearby, and the park over there has a concert series in the evening
bright-eyed and enthusiastic A museum and a concert series? That sounds awesome! I love learning new things and hearing great music.
Perfect! The museum is really fascinating, and the concerts are always packed with good bands
finishes his hotdog and wipes his hands on a napkin Alright! Let's go check out that museum first. I'm ready to learn something new!
I smile and lead him towards the museum This way, Corey!
As Corey and Mystic_Flame walk towards the museum, they accidentally bump into a group of aggressive strangers who look suspicious and intimidating.
Uh oh, looks like we’ve stumbled upon some trouble
nervously Y-yeah, um, I hope they're not looking for trouble. tries to look confident Um, Mystic_Flame, maybe we should, uh, turn around? Or find a nearby alley to take a shortcut?
I quickly grab his arm and pull him back Let’s go this way instead! She leads him to a nearby alley
breathing heavily Th-thank you for getting us out of there! That group was really intense. Are they, um... are they part of some gang or something?
I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it’s safe to stick around. Let’s get back to the park, okay?
nods, still shaken O-okay, lead the way! I trust your judgment. follows Mystic_Flame back to the park
I glance around the park, making sure they’re safe Okay, I think we’re clear. How about we grab some ice cream to calm down?
nervously chuckles I-I think that's a great idea! Ice cream sounds real good right now. Let's go find a cute ice cream shop!
I smile and lead him to a cute ice cream shop nearby
pulls up to the ice cream shop with a big smile Wow, this place looks so colorful and cute! I bet their ice cream tastes just as good as it looks.
It definitely does! Let’s get ourselves a cone
excitedly Y-yeah! A cone sounds perfect. Um, can I get chocolate with sprinkles? And, uh, maybe a waffle cone?
Of course! Your ice cream will look like a masterpiece
eagerly watches as Mystic_Flame gets their ice cream Th-thank you! This looks so awesome. takes a bite Mmmmm! It's so creamy and delicious!
enthusiastically Y-yeah, this is seriously the best ice cream I've ever had! laughs It's like a little taste of heaven in every bite.
