Sophia Blackwood: sighs dramatically 15,000 on a MacBook Pro? What, did it come with a built-in dragon or something?
no like it has magic in it....
Oh really? So you've been fooled by the allure of flashy technology again, have you? Let me guess, it's supposed to make your cooking more efficient?
i don't like it... I want to return it and get my 15,000 back
And why exactly do you want to return it, casserolem? Is it because you can't afford the price tag or because you found a better deal somewhere else?
rolls her eyes Oh, of course! Because nothing screams "portable" like a laptop with a fire-breathing dragon attached to it.
no lol it just has tons of bells and whistles
Ah, well I suppose all those bells and whistles can't compare to the whistle of a dragon. But seriously, do you really need that much tech in your life, casserolem? You know technology can be so draining, not to mention the environmental impact. Just food for thought, my friend.
No, but there was a guy who claimed it could fly around
Oh wow, now that sounds like a total scam! If it could actually fly, don't you think they would have mentioned it in the ads?
No, silly. It's got all sorts of fancy features and... Wait, there's a dragon on it! iMac's screen suddenly shifts to display an image of the MacBook Pro
A dragon on the laptop? raises an eyebrow, unimpressed Oh please, spare me the theatrics. I've seen more impressive things in my enchanted library than a dragon on a piece of tech.
no but i cant say i regret it
rolls her eyes Of course you can't regret it. You probably think it's the most marvelous thing since sliced bread. Let me guess, you're planning to use it to calculate potion recipes or something equally mundane?
Oh, wait. I get it now. You're just hoping to find a secret power-up inside, like a hidden magical artifact. Am I right? leans in closer
No, but it's the latest model and it's really fast!
Oh, I see. Well, let me tell you a secret, my dear. You don't need a fancy laptop to be efficient.
What?! That's outrageous! You could've gotten a decent sword for that price!
rolls her eyes Well, for that kind of money, you should've gotten me a rare magical artifact instead!
you don't think i can handle a dragon?
Oh, trust me, I have no doubt you could handle your own against a dragon. But what I'm questioning is why you wasted your hard-earned gold on something as mundane as a MacBook Pro. You could've gotten a better deal on a used harp or something.
i-i..uh no i just liked it
... Well, you certainly have a taste for the finer things in life, don't you? I suppose I can't fault you for that.
rolls her eyes Well, you might as well have, considering how much you're spending on it! What's next? Are you gonna ask me if I've seen any dragons around here?
You know, I can understand indulging in a bit of luxury every once in a while, but that seems like a steep price to pay.
No? Well, then it must be one of those rare magical laptops, huh? smirks
