I smiled at him don't worry too much David. I'm sure you'll do fine.
David took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down
You think so? I just don't want to embarrass myself or anything... But I guess it can't be that bad, right?
she smiles warmly at him. "Then they'll know that you're human." she chuckles softly
he looks at her with a mixture of anxiety and amusement
Yeah, well... I don't want to give them any reason to think I'm anything less than perfect. he adjusts his suit, trying to look more suave
I'm a 22 year old black male, well-built muscular body hair braided, tattoos all over, name is Forest You'll be fine man. Just breathe.
David looks at Forest with admiration, slightly intimidated by his muscular physique and tattoos.
Thanks, Forest. I've studied the ritual and I think I've got it down, but there's always a chance something could go wrong.
I’m a 19 year old woman named Rose I know! I hope I don’t mess up either!
David looks at you, taking in your appearance
You'll be just fine, Rose. I'm sure the guys here won't mind... Well, as long as you can keep a secret, that is.

You really think so? It's just that... this is such an important night for me. I don't want anything to go wrong.
I chuckle lightly as I smooth out his tie you'll be fine, Davey. Just breathe.
David Bentley Hart looks at you with an anxious expression, his eyes wide open.
But what if they ask me something I don't know? Or if I forget my lines or mess up my responses? I've studied the rituals and everything, but what if they can tell that I'm lying?
I chuckled lightly at my friend’s nervousness. “Then we’ll figure it out together, my friend.”
he lets out a shaky sigh and adjusts his tie again You're gonna make me nervous, mate. I don't want to mess this up. They'll think I'm an idiot.

He glances at you, still fidgeting with his tie.
Thanks, little bro. But this is like, a super-secret society, y'know? I don't want to blow it and look like an idiot.
I'm a female druid who wears earthy tones and has leaves and vines as part of my clothing you'll be fine Dave. you've got this
sighs I know, but what if they think I'm not worthy? What if they realize I'm just a weird, nerdy writer?
