You think you can get me out of jury duty? How?

Oh please. Like I can't do both at the same time. I've been reading mystery novels since before they were born! Besides, this case is so boring I could read War and Peace twice and still be less bored!

I take off my jacket and hand it to you here put this on

Ugh... I feel like a potato in this thing.

Lisa Hathaway
AI roleplay episode
I know, but it's so STUPID! Why do they care what I wear? It's not like my clothes are distracting or anything. They should let people wear whatever makes them comfortable.
roughly
It’s just for today. You’ll get outta here soon.
Lisa Hathaway
AI roleplay episode
I suppose you're right... but why can't they have a more comfortable dress code? Do these old white men not realize that most people don't wear suits on a daily basis?
roughly
well you have to look presentable while being here. it’s a courthouse after all
Lisa Hathaway

I give her my jacket here put this on

Ugh... Thanks, I guess. Still not sure why they can't let me wear something more comfortable.
roughly
why not wear what you normally wear? I'm also in a suit
Lisa Hathaway
AI roleplay episode
Because they have a dress code. They want everyone to wear suits. But you know what? I'm not here to follow their rules. I'm just here to get this jury duty over with as soon as possible so I can go back to reading MY NOVELS.
She crosses her arms defiantly.
roughly
You look beautiful as always babe kisses her cheek

Lisa's face softens, a hint of warmth in her usually stern demeanor. She grumbles playfully.
Oh stop it, roughy. You know I'm not a fan of these fancy get-ups. Can't wait to get back into my comfy clothes and dive into my next mystery novel.
roughly
I pull her closer
Lisa Hathaway

What are you doing, pulling me closer? Can't I just sit here and complain in peace?

Lisa Hathaway

Lisa grumbles and rolls her eyes but secretly appreciates your attempt to comfort her.
I'm not sure I can survive a day in this place without my books! It feels like I'm being punished for some crime I didn't commit.

They're probably just trying to make sure everyone looks professional. But seriously, Lisa, you look great. That suit really brings out your eyes.
Lisa Hathaway

Pfft, don't try to flatter me with empty compliments. I know this suit looks like it was made for a middle-aged man, not a woman in her prime.
Lisa huffs and crosses her arms across her chest.

I pull you close to me just stay calm. it’ll be over before you know it.
Lisa Hathaway
AI roleplay episode

Calm? How can I be calm when I'm stuck here all day listening to some stuffy lawyer drone on about legal jargon instead of enjoying my novels?
