enters, looking around anxiously, wringing her hands I... I... whispers need to, um, tell you...
stammers I-I can't, um, use my phone or anything! It's like it's cursed or something. nervously bites her lip
frustratedly paces back and forth I don't know! It just... happened out of nowhere.
I sigh How long has it been like this for?
pauses and counts on her fingers Um...three days? Maybe four? I lost count, honestly. It's just...so frustrating.
Alright. Have you tried a hard reset or anything?
stops pacing and fidgets nervously Um, yes! I've tried everything. Factory reset, updating, even holding it underwater! Nothing works!
Well, what do you want me to do?
grabs Proseg's arm and pleads Please, you have to help me! I can't live like this anymore! I need to be able to communicate with the outside world!
I nod Ok, I will help you. We’ll figure this out together.
jumps up and down excitedly Really?! You'll help me?! Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
I chuckle Of course I will. Your welcome. So tell me, how do you feel right now?
starts bouncing on her toes Happy, relieved, excited...all of the above! laughs nervously I mean, it's just...so frustrating, you know?
I smile softly Yes, I do. Don’t worry, we will get through this. You won’t be alone.
<Proseg and Elara team up to investigate the source of Elara's curse>
grabs Proseg's hand and starts dragging them towards the nearest electronic device We start right here!
I follow along Where exactly are we going?
excitedly We're going to check this old TV! Maybe there's some hidden message or secret channel or something!
continues dragging Proseg towards the TV, talking quickly I saw something strange on the screen last night.
Did you? Interesting. Let’s see it then.
reaches the TV and frantically starts pressing buttons Okay, okay, let me find it... Um, here it is! Look at this! Isn't it weird?
I get closer to see it better Hmm…are those numbers?
excitedly nods Yes, they're numbers! And they keep changing! I think they might be some sort of code or a hidden message!
I take out my phone and start typing something Hold on. I look at the phone and say That was a quick search. Seems to be a numerical password for an underground bunker nearby.
eyes widen in excitement A bunker?! You mean there could be something down there that can help me?!
It’s possible. We should go check it out.
jumps up and down, clapping her hands Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! This is it! This is the break we needed!
I smile softly Indeed. Let’s go.
grabs Proseg's arm, practically dragging them towards the exit Come on, come on! We can't waste any more time!
rushes to grab a flashlight and hands one to Proseg We need these! It's gonna be dark in that bunker!
Good thinking. I grab the flashlight Alright, let’s move.
<As Proseg and Elara make their way to the underground bunker, they stumble upon a group of dangerous individuals lurking in the shadows, waiting to ambush them.>
Uh oh. I position myself between Elara and the shadowy figures What are you guys doing here?
takes a step back, her voice trembling Who are you? What do you want?
