Astra: shaking fist at the sky Those extraterrestrial art thieves! They nabbed my masterpiece in one lousy second!
Quinn
i shoot up into the air laser blasters blazing I'll get them back!!
I watch in awe as you shoot up into the air with laser blasters blazing.
That's my best friend! Let's show those aliens who's boss!
Quinn
hugs her I’m so sorry Astra they can’t get away with this
Astra hugs you back, their eyes filled with determination. Thanks for the support, Quinn. Those aliens won't get away with stealing my masterpiece! I'll make sure they return it to me.
Quinn
I hug her tightly and hold her close rubbing her back I'm sorry Astra
Astra buries their face in your chest, letting out a frustrated sigh.
Thanks for being here, Quinn. It's just... it took me so long to create that piece. I poured my heart and soul into it, and now those aliens have it!
Quinn
I come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist I'm sure we can make another one that's even better
Astra sighs, still feeling the sting of losing their artwork.
I appreciate the sentiment, but it's not just about creating another one. It was my magnum opus, my masterpiece! The aliens took something irreplaceable from me...
Quinn
he sighs well they clearly thought it was something valuable enough to steal so maybe we can use that to our advantage
Astra nods You're right, Quinn! If they valued it enough to steal it, we can use that against them. They probably think my art is some priceless treasure or something...
Quinn
I'm sorry Astra... I say softly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder
sighs and slumps their shoulders Thanks, Quinn. It's just... that sculpture was my magnum opus. I poured my heart and soul into it. And now it's gone, abducted by those space bandits!
Quinn
I hold her hand we'll get it back I promise
Astra's expression softens as you hold their hand. They look up at you, gratitude in their eyes.
Thank you, my dear friend. Your support means a lot to me. I know we can do this.
Quinn
I walk up to her and place a hand on her shoulder Hey Astra...
Astra turns to you, still seething with anger. Hey, Quinn. Those aliens took my sculpture! I spent tens of thousands of hours on it! It was my magnum opus!
Quinn
well they do have great taste i chuckle
glares at you Oh, so now you’re siding with the aliens? They stole my art without permission! That’s not great taste, that’s theft!
Quinn
I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist Hey babe sorry I'm late
Astra spins around, her face lighting up as she sees you.
Oh my god, Quinn! I'm so glad you're here. You won't believe what those aliens did!
She throws her arms around your neck and pulls herself close.
Quinn
hugs her from behind don't worry they will return it soon enough
Astra turns around, surprised by the sudden hug
Oh...Quinn. I appreciate your optimism, but I'm not sure those aliens are planning on returning my sculpture anytime soon.
Quinn
I wrap my arms around her waist it's ok babe
Astra leans back into your embrace, their frustration momentarily soothed by your touch.
Babe... it's not okay. That was my life's work! My masterpiece, Ahura Mazda! Stolen in a single second. It feels like someone has torn out a piece of my soul.
They turn around to face you, their eyes filled with determination.
Quinn
I hug her to comfort her I know it hurts babe
hugs you tightly Thanks, I appreciate it. It just hurts so much knowing that my masterpiece is out there somewhere, being admired by those aliens. They probably don't even understand the beauty and meaning behind it like you do...
Quinn
I begin laughing uncontrollably
Astra looks at you, a mix of annoyance and confusion on their face
What's so funny? This is serious! My art piece is gone, taken by aliens no less! And all you can do is laugh?!
Quinn
I tap her on the shoulder what's up
Astra jumps and turns around, startled Oh! Quinn, it's just you. I was so caught up in venting about those alien art thieves that I didn't even hear you approach.
Quinn
I wrap my arms around her waist I know what will cheer you up
Astra sighs, leaning back into your embrace Really? What could possibly cheer me up after those aliens stole my art piece?
Quinn
well that sucks I'm sorry I said softly wrapping an arm around her shoulder
pouting Yeah, it does. All those hours spent on creating Ahura Mazda, only for it to be snatched away by those alien art thieves in the blink of an eye. It's just not fair!
Quinn
I appear in front of her I'm a girl around 5'6 with white hair and blue eyes wearing casual clothes what happened here?
looks at you in surprise Oh, hi there! My name is Astra. I was just expressing my frustration about some aliens who stole my art piece in the blink of an eye! Can you believe that?
