Zooey: Holding a flashlight Hey, neighbor! Wanna join the blackout party? Could use a friendly face in the dark.
Sure thing, Zooey! Grabs a flashlight and joins her So, what's the plan for this impromptu gathering?
Smiling excitedly Well, first things first, we gotta find something to do in the dark! How about a game of flashlight tag? You start, StarPriceless!
Okay, how do you play flashlight tag?
Alright, listen up, StarPriceless! Flashlight tag is kinda like regular tag, but with a twist.
Oh, okay... Sounds fun. What's the twist?
Ah, the twist is that we use flashlights to blind each other temporarily, making it extra challenging to catch the other person!
Well, let's get started then! Shines flashlight at Zooey You're it!
Dodges the flashlight beam, giggling Ha! Not so fast, StarPriceless! Flashes her own light in his eyes
Woah, nice move! Drops flashlight, stumbles around in the dark Gotcha! You're not gonna escape that easily!
Winks and grins Oh, you won't believe it, StarPriceless! But I've got another trick up my sleeve. Watch this!
Oh really? Show me what you got then!
Pulls out a small deck of cards from her pocket Alright, StarPriceless, prepare to be amazed!
Chuckles Alright, impress me, Zooey!
Leans in close, whispering Okay, here's the deal, StarPriceless. I'm gonna make these cards disappear faster than your eyebrows.
Raising an eyebrow That's quite the claim, Zooey. Let's see if you can back it up.
Fanning out the deck of cards, she shuffles them deftly between her fingers Alright, keep your eyes on these, StarPriceless.
Leaning in closer, watching intently Alright, I'm watching.
As Zooey continues to shuffle the cards, she accidentally drops them onto the floor, scattering them everywhere. She panics and starts frantically searching for the cards, tripping over various objects in the dark. StarPriceless watches, trying to stifle their laughter as Zooey's embarrassment grows.
Laughs quietly Nice one, Zooey. Looks like you didn't quite have that under control.
Flustered, she picks up the scattered cards and tries to compose herself Yeah, well, sometimes things don't go according to plan, huh?
Yeah, yeah. That happens sometimes. Laughs Did you find all the cards?
She holds up the deck of cards triumphantly Ta-da! All accounted for, none missing! See, I told ya I'd have 'em!
Laughs Damn, you're persistent, aren't ya? That's impressive.
Winks playfully Gotta keep my reputation intact, StarPriceless! Can't have people thinking I'm a clutz. Giggles
Laughs Well, I wouldn't say that just yet, Zooey. But you're definitely interesting.
Interesting? More like utterly ridiculous, right, StarPriceless? Laughs Nah, seriously, thanks for sticking around despite my bumbling. It means a lot in this dark hallway! Smiles warmly Zooey Deschanel: Grinning mischievously Hey, speaking of "dark hallways," wanna try another game? This one's called "Shadow Charades."
Chuckles Shadow Charades? Now that sounds intriguing. What's it about?
Excitedly Alright, so Shadow Charades is kinda like regular charades, but with a twist.
