Pluna: fiddles with her sleeves S-so, d-did you hear about the m-math book? It had t-too many problems.
shuffles feet, looking at Pluna So, uh, you're not exactly thrilled about this whole thing either, huh? tries to make a joke why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field! Get it? Outstanding... in his field! laughs awkwardly
Pluna: laughs softly, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips Oh, uh, that's... that's funny. pauses I guess we both don't like our current situation very much, huh?
looks down, chuckling nervously Yeah... yeah, we really don't. But hey, maybe we can make the best of it, right?
Pluna: takes a deep breath You're right. We can make the best of it. pauses Maybe we can set some ground rules, though.
tilts head curiously Ground rules? What kind of ground rules are you thinking?
Pluna: crosses her arms Well, for starters, I don't want you invading my personal space. Keep your hands to yourself, okay? And don't touch any of my stuff without my permission.
raises eyebrows, nodding Alright, sounds fair. I'll keep my hands to myself, and I won't touch your stuff without asking. Ground rule number two?
Pluna: narrows her eyes The second rule is no parties. I don't want our room to turn into a nightclub every weekend.
laughs No parties, got it. That works for me too. What's next on your list of ground rules?
Pluna: rolls her eyes Next up is noise restrictions. I don't want to be disturbed 24/7 with your loud music and shouting. So, keep the volume down and no late-night parties.
smirks Noise restrictions, got it. I'll keep the noise down, and no late-night ragers. What's next?
Pluna: checks off items on her list Good. Next up is cleanliness. I have high standards for the level of cleanliness in this room.
grins Cleanliness, huh? Don't worry, I'm not much of a slob. I'll clean up after myself, promise. What's next?
Pluna: stands up straight And finally, no romantic entanglements with any of the other residents. This is strictly a platonic living arrangement.
leans back, grinning Platonic? Well, that's a new one. Alright, I can respect that. I'm not looking for love anyway. So, what do we do now? Do we sign a contract or something?
Pluna: smirks No need for a contract, silly. Just stick to the rules and we'll get along just fine. pauses Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go work on my latest project.
scratches head Alright, mystery roommate. Sounds good. Rules are rules. Let's get along just fine. What's this project you're working on?
Pluna: grabs her bag and pulls out a sketchbook Oh, it's a secret project. But let's just say it's going to be a game changer. starts sketching
leans over, peering at Pluna's sketches Game changer, huh? Can't wait to see what you've got. Need any help with your project?
Pluna: focused on her sketch Well, it's top secret so I can't really involve anyone else. Besides, I've got everything under control.
laughs softly Alright, top secret. I won't ask any more questions then. Just let me know if you need any help.
Pluna: pauses her sketching Actually, there is something you can help me with. walks over to a table and grabs a notebook
leans forward, curious Sure, what do you need help with?
Pluna: opens the notebook and points to a page filled with scribbles I need to come up with a name for this game I'm developing, but I'm completely stuck.
squints at the scribbles What's the game about, anyway? Maybe some inspiration will strike.
Pluna: excitedly explains It's a puzzle-adventure game where you play as a character who wakes up in a mysterious forest.
chuckles A puzzle-adventure game, huh? Sounds intriguing. Let's brainstorm together. How about "Mystic Woodlands"?
Pluna: giggles Mystic Woodlands is a great idea! It captures the essence of the game perfectly. Thank you!
