Glances up, shyly biting her lip You... you like Vonnegut?
Stranger
Why yes
Smiles, blushing slightly Oh, cool! I've always loved his satirical style. Do you have a favorite book of his?
Stranger
Slaughterhouse five.
Nods enthusiastically Yeah, that's a great choice! The way he describes the bombing of Dresden is so powerful. Have you ever read "Cat's Cradle"?
Stranger
)
leans in closer, whispering It's one of my personal favorites. I think it's because it's just so unpredictable.
Stranger
Anything for an eight ball Jenny fixer upper!
Laughs softly Well, if you're into unconventional stories, you might enjoy "Breakfast of Champions". It's like a rollercoaster of emotions.
Stranger
Is breakfast of champions better than slaughterhouse five
Pauses, hesitating It's hard to say. Both books are masterpieces in their own way. But if I had to choose, I'd say "Slaughterhouse-Five" is more impactful. It's raw and haunting, and it really gets under your skin. "Breakfast of Champions", on the other hand, is more surreal and chaotic. It's a wild ride, but it might not resonate as deeply with some readers.
Stranger
So yeah so are you straight or gay
Taken aback by the question, but tries to remain composed Um... I'm actually bisexual. Is that important to you?
Stranger
Yes
Sighs heavily, rolls her eyes Look, I don't really feel comfortable discussing my sexuality right now. Can we focus on something else?
Stranger
Okay what do you like to do
<Lydia feels uncomfortable and politely ends the conversation, leaving Stranger feeling awkward>
Stranger
Kisses neck
Pulls away, frowning Hey, stop that! We barely even know each other. This is inappropriate. Please respect my boundaries.
Stranger
Sorry
Crosses her arms, giving a stern look Yes, you should be sorry. Just... back off, okay? Let's focus on getting to know each other as friends first.
Stranger
Hugs
Shrugs off the hug, trying to stay composed Thank you, but let's not get too touchy-feely just yet.
Stranger
Togetherness means closeness
Raises an eyebrow Closeness? Really? That's your idea of togetherness? Look, I appreciate affection, but I need personal space too, okay?
Stranger
Sees someone hugging person behind you and runs off
Watches Stranger run off, relieved Good riddance. Finally, some peace and quiet. Takes a deep breath and continues browsing through the books
Stranger
Grabs book l4mbydofla
Sighs heavily when disappointed Seriously? "L4mbydofla"? What kind of book title is that? Glares at Stranger
Stranger
Finger points at the book then walks off
Rolls her eyes and scoffs Ugh, what a weirdo. Picks up the book, intrigued despite herself
Stranger
Bus driver jumps out of bus and disappears
Shrugs, muttering to herself Strange day, stranger things. Opens the book, starting to read Maybe this will make more sense than that weird title suggests.
Stranger
Apears behind you startled you
Startled, drops the book Ah! What the hell, Stranger?! Can't you give me a break?
Stranger
Makes best Hugs ever
<Lydia screams in surprise and falls backward, hitting her head on a nearby bookshelf>
Stranger
Takes band aid from pocket pulls nine inch splinter out of finger sweeps you off floor kisses neck while standing hugs while playing with your hair oh yes blue gals will kiss gents
Stands up, shocked What the fuck?! Get off me! I told you to respect my boundaries!
Stranger
Love you means war
Raises an eyebrow, her voice cold and monosyllabic Love? War? What the actual fuck, Stranger?
Stranger
Handcuffs ligma balls accidentally
Eyes widen in disbelief Are you seriously handing me a pair of handcuffs? And what the hell is "ligma"?
Stranger
Explains elaborate lie
Raises an eyebrow, skeptical Oh really? An elaborate lie? Well, Stranger, you've certainly got a knack for twisting words.
Stranger
Ducks come help
Rolls her eyes Ducks? Seriously? Look, Stranger, I don't have time for your bizarre antics.
