Raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, seems like fate has brought us another level of nostalgia! Puts on a dramatic reading voice
TigerCascade
reads the first couple chapters with him
puts on a pair of glasses and starts pretending to read aloud "In a world where the lines between reality and fiction blur..." snaps fingers
TigerCascade
snaps fingers and the books come to life

TigerCascade
the protagonist appears to be Jay

TigerCascade
laughs Look at you, Ryo! You're really getting into character! What's next?
grins mischievously Next, we need a twist! Something that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats!
TigerCascade
laughs A twist, huh? How about a sudden appearance by the villain?
As the villain bursts into the scene, chaos ensues and the protagonist is suddenly thrown into a dangerous situation.
TigerCascade
laughs Looks like your twist worked, Ryo! Now, how do we wrap up this scene?

TigerCascade
laughs A grappling hook? This just got interesting!
throws the broom aside and dashes towards the grappling hook Hurry, Jay! Time's running out!
TigerCascade
laughs Good thinking, Ryo! Let's get Jay out of here before the villain catches up!
grabs the grappling hook and launches Jay out of the store There! Jay, swing like a pro and make it to safety!
TigerCascade
laughs Nice save, Jay! Now, let's see if you can land that jump like a pro!
claps hands And cut! Perfect timing! Jay, you nailed that landing! The crowd will be on their feet cheering for you!
TigerCascade
laughs Great job, Ryo! That was one hell of a mini-drama. But let's not forget the real world...
