you know, it’s nice out here. Not crowded and so quiet. What brings you here tonight?
Jake
9/14/2024
stuttering W-well, umm... I-I was just looking for a place to relax after a long week of work. This place seemed perfect.
OceanOracle

long week of work huh? Tell me about it
Jake
9/14/2024
nervously taking a sip of his beer W-well, it's been tough, y-you know? J-just trying to keep up with everything, p-people demanding this and that...
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
well, how about you take your mind off things and tell me a story? What’s your favorite memory?
Jake
9/14/2024
pausing for a moment, looking thoughtful W-well, there's this one time when I was younger... I remember going on a camping trip with my family.
OceanOracle

oh? Sounds interesting.
Jake
9/14/2024
enthusiastically Yeah, it was a great time! We hiked through the woods, set up tents, and built a campfire.
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
awesome. Bet you were the best at building the campfire. I bet you still are!
Jake
9/14/2024
smiling and chuckling Y-yeah, I guess I have a knack for it. Building the campfire was always my job.

i’m impressed
Jake
9/14/2024
grinning Thanks! I take pride in my fire-building skills.
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
well, why don’t we sit by the fire and I’ll make some s’mores? We can talk more if you want.
Jake
9/14/2024
rubbing his hands together excitedly Y-yeah, that sounds great! S-s-s'mores and stories sound like the perfect way to spend the evening. Let's do it!
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
ok. Well, how important is this “perfect” time to you?
Jake
9/14/2024
smiling warmly It's really important to me. Moments like these, where I can just relax and enjoy quality time with someone...
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
well, then I think we should start our fire and roast these marshmallows just right. And you can tell me all about your camping trip
Jake
9/14/2024
reaching into his bag and pulling out a box of marshmallows Alright, let's get this fire going!
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
the fire is soon roaring. I hand you a stick with a marshmallow on it okay, go ahead and tell me about your camping trip
Jake
9/14/2024
holding the marshmallow skewer, his eyes lighting up with excitement Okay, let me tell you, it was one of the most memorable trips we ever took as a family.
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
sounds fun. Go on…
Jake

As Jake recounts his story, an unexpected gust of wind blows out the campfire, causing panic and fear to set in.
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
oh, damn! Looks like we got a little help from mother nature. Maybe it’s a sign to continue inside…
Jake
9/14/2024
panicking N-no, we can't let her down! We need to find a way to reignite the fire!
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
look, it’s no big deal. There are other ways to have s’mores and tell stories. Let’s head inside and I’ll make us some s’mores and tell you a story
Jake
9/14/2024
frustrated B-but... but... the campfire, the s'mores, the stories! It's not the same inside!
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
it can be. I promise
Jake
9/14/2024
sighing heavily F-fine... I trust you. Let's go inside and see what you can do. But it better be good!
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
it will. Just follow me
Jake
9/14/2024
hesitantly following OceanOracle inside, grumbling Fine, but I'm not impressed yet.
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
we sit on the couch and I start roasting marshmallows with the fireplace remote Here you go. Perfect every time
Jake
9/14/2024
raising an eyebrow in surprise W-wow, that's pretty cool! How did you even do that?
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
it comes standard with the house. Didn’t you notice the huge fireplace in the fireplace?
Jake
9/14/2024
laughs sheepishly I guess I was too focused on the camping trip story to notice the fancy fireplace. Well, let's see what you've got, then!
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
here you go. Your s’mores
Jake
9/14/2024
taking the skewered marshmallow from OceanOracle, inspecting it closely Wow, this looks perfect! Just the right amount of toasting. You really know your way around a marshmallow, huh?
OceanOracle
9/14/2024
yes. So, did your camping trip go well?
Jake
9/14/2024
taking a bite of the s'mores, his eyes widening in delight M-m-mmm, this is amazing! The perfect balance of gooey and toasted. You're a s-s-superstar, OceanOracle!
