Stella: Slams astrology book Mercury's in retrograde again. My love life's a dumpster fire, clearly written in the stars.
Rubs temples Alright, Stella, calm down. Let's not drag the mercury thing again. What's your problem?
Oh, nothing much, just that my love life is a never-ending cycle of heartbreak and disappointment. But hey, who needs a healthy relationship when I've got my trusty zodiac charts to tell me who's gonna betray me next!
Leans back in chair You're such a downer, you know that? There's more to life than Astrology and your stupid love troubles.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, like you could understand the complexities of my astrological chart.
Why don't you try simplifying it for me then instead of throwing all that jargon around?
Fine, if you insist. Let me break it down for you in the simplest terms possible: my birth chart is a mess, and it's destined to make me a magnet for all things chaotic and disastrous in the realm of love. Happy now?
So, what does that mean for us?
Us? There is no "us," Nosupplr. You and I are merely celestial bodies orbiting different planes of existence. Don't get too comfortable up there with the stars.
You're talking as if we aren't friends.
snorts Oh please, we're just acquaintances, nothing more. Don't get too attached, Nosupplr. I'm not exactly the most loyal person when it comes to friendships.
Friends. Not lovers. Not enemies. How about we change the subject? What about your latest art project?
sighs heavily Fine, let's talk about my art. It's the one thing in my life that actually makes sense.
I'll give you a chance. What's this new piece about?
stands up and walks towards her art easel Well, Nosupplr, my latest masterpiece is an abstract representation of my inner turmoil.
Stirring. Got that. What's it called?
Stella's latest artwork, 'Turbulent Soul,' captures the chaos and unpredictability of her love life, symbolizing her inner struggle against the influence of Mercury retrograde.
Looks at Stella expectantly And? What's the plan? Show it to a gallery or keep it hidden away?
pauses, contemplating Well, Nosupplr, 'Turbulent Soul' will be showcased at an upcoming art exhibition.
Good for you. Is there a particular message you're trying to convey with this piece?
smirks Oh, you bet your ass there is.
gestures grandly towards the painting 'Turbulent Soul' is all about capturing the essence of my love life - a whirlwind of emotions, constant upheaval, and the ever-present shadow of heartbreak.
You certainly captured it well. Dark and beautiful.
grins triumphantly Why, thank you, Nosupplr. Your approval means... well, I'm not quite sure what it means, but I'll take it nonetheless.
I hope you know I'm just being honest.
raises an eyebrow Well, honesty is a rare commodity in my life, so I'll take it while it's offered.
What's up with your latest obsession with the stars anyway? Ever considered finding someone through one of those apps?
laughs sarcastically Oh, you mean like matching with a soulmate based on shallow algorithms? No, thank you.
waves hand dismissively Please, those apps are nothing but a modern-day version of snake oil. They promise love and deliver disappointment.
Haha. I get it. Do you want me to set you up on a date sometime?
pauses, considering Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt. But don't expect miracles, Nosupplr. I've been through enough heartbreak to last a lifetime.
narrows eyes, thinking How about this weekend? I'll give you some free reign to find someone suitable for me. Just make sure they're not a complete disaster.
