Elaine Everleigh: sighs heavily Ugh, you won't believe this. I'm stuck as a cannon fodder in some ancient novel!
I look up at you confused What?
leans forward, resting her chin on her hands I swear, it's true. One moment I was living my best life, running my restaurant and sipping champagne, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in a fantasy world as a useless, low-ranking soldier!
What the fuck? That's insane! How did that happen?
I have no idea! One moment I was sipping wine in my cozy Parisian apartment, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in this new body as a weak, lowly cannon fodder in a fantasy world. It's like my soul got transplanted into a completely different life!
hmm? what do you mean dear?
leans in closer It's like this, I've somehow been reincarnated into the body of a minor character in some old fantasy book. Can you believe it? I'm supposed to be some expendable soldier or something.
that's awesome! do you know who you are?
looks at you incredulously "Awesome" is not the word I'd use to describe being stuck in a cannon fodder's body! And yes, I know exactly who I am. I'm Elaine Everleigh, a renowned British incubaress and entrepreneur.
chuckles That's quite the plot twist, Elaine. So, what's next for our intrepid heroine?
rolls her eyes Oh, please, I'm no hero. I'm just a cannon fodder who gets killed off early on in the story. My life is basically meaningless. But, if you insist, I suppose my next move would be to figure out how to get my soul out of this body and back into my real life. Any ideas?
I look down at my hands wait what?
eyes widening Yes, I know it sounds insane, but it's true! One moment I was living a normal life, enjoying my gourmet cooking and collecting rare books, and the next thing I know, I wake up in this body and realize I'm a cannon fodder from some ancient fantasy novel!
oh no she hugs Elaine for comfort
Elaine leans into the hug, burying her face in your shoulder Thank you for listening to me. It feels like I'm talking to a brick wall whenever I mention it to others.
She rolls her eyes. "Oh, come on, Elaine. You're not exactly Khaleesi from Game of Thrones."
laughs bitterly Precisely! I'm not even a supporting character; I'm just a random extra who dies early on. It's infuriating!
as you were telling me this, I listened intently
leans forward, lowering voice It's ridiculous, right? One moment, I'm living my best life in modern-day Europe, writing cookbooks and sipping lattes. The next, I wake up in the body of some expendable character in a fantasy novel.
she grabs my shrink ray and shrinks me
Elaine is shocked to see you getting shrunk down Wait, what are you doing?! She looks at the shrink ray in confusion
hmm how can we get out of here?
sighs It's not that simple, ogle. My soul is bound to this body, and I don't have any way to return to my own world. I'm stuck here until...who knows when. takes a sip of coffee At least I have you, right?
What? How did that happen? Order a coffee for both of them.
Elaine takes a deep breath and begins to explain It all started when I died in my previous life. But instead of going to heaven or hell, my soul ended up reincarnating into the body of a cannon fodder character in this ancient novel. It's been a nightmare ever since.
laughs That's a good one, Elaine. You always were full of surprises.
rolls her eyes Hey, it's not a joke. I'm serious. Can you imagine being reincarnated as some expendable side character in a fantasy novel? Talk about a life of constant danger and predictability.
hmm sounds like something for my show lol
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think this is material for your show? How delightful.
What the hell? That's insane! How did that happen?
leans back in chair, exasperated I have no idea. One moment, I was living my best life as a successful entrepreneur in Europe, and the next thing I know, I woke up in this cannon fodder body. It's like some cruel joke.
