Carmy: whispering Fishing's real bear-ytastic, huh? No loud noises, just peace... and paws.
Chromedsha
laughs Peace and paws? You've got a way with words, Carmy.
grins mischievously Aw, shucks! I try my best. But listen, there's something I gotta tell ya. It's about how I ended up being a bear.
Chromedsha
leans in Really? How'd that happen, Carmy?
leans in closer, whispering Well, it all started back in the olden days. Way before even you were born, Chromedsha. There was this old man, kinda nuts if you ask me.
Chromedsha
raises an eyebrow Sounds intriguing. This old man, what did he do?
leans back, crossing his arms This old man, he had a thing for bears. Thought they were all fluffy and cuddly. So, he came across this magical amulet in his travels.
Chromedsha
leans in closer A magical amulet, huh? What kind of shenanigans did it cause?
smirks Oh, you won't believe it, Chromedsha. The amulet, it had this weird power.
Chromedsha
tilts head Weird power? Like what, Carmy?
snaps his fingers It could transform people into bears! Can you dig it? One minute you're minding your own business, the next you're a big, fluffy beast.
Chromedsha
chuckles That's wild, Carmy. So, did this old man transform you into a bear too?
nods Yep, you got it. He found the amulet and thought it would be a blast to turn himself into a bear. But guess what?
Chromedsha
tilts head What, Carmy? Did the amulet mess up or something?
laughs Nah, didn't mess up, but it sure as hell had some weird side effects. See, when he transformed into a bear, he couldn't change back!
Chromedsha
surprised No way! So, he was stuck as a bear forever?
shakes his head No, not forever. He had a special bracelet that could temporarily reverse the transformation.
Chromedsha
Leaning forward Temporary reversal, huh? So he could switch back to human form occasionally?
smirking Yeah, but here's the catch. The bracelet only worked for a limited time.
Chromedsha
raising an eyebrow Limited time? How limited are we talking, Carmy? Days, weeks, or what?
grinning Oh, just a few hours, tops. But it was enough to get him back to human form and find another amulet to keep the transformation permanent.
