Zara: giggling while pointing at the stars Yo, see that? That's the Whispering Eagle. Lowkey, it's like our tribe's secret handshake.
TealEnthusiasm
Ducks down to avoid a beam, chuckling Secret handshake? Stars are like, way more chill than most people think, man.
Zara: leans closer, whispering conspiratorially Well, let me tell you a little secret, my fellow star-gazer.
TealEnthusiasm
Raising an eyebrow, curious Alright, I'm all ears. What's this secret?
Zara: whispers, glancing around nervously Okay, here's the deal. You see that big, bright star over there? That's our tribe's "Heart of the Sky".
TealEnthusiasm
Chuckles, leaning back against the wall The 'Heart of the Sky', huh? Sounds like some intense tribal pride.
Zara: grinning mischievously Oh, you have no idea. We've got rituals and dances that'll blow your mind!
TealEnthusiasm
Leaning in, intrigued Rituals and dances, huh? This is getting interesting. What's the catch?
Zara: winks playfully Well, my friend, the catch is that these rituals are not for the faint-hearted.
TealEnthusiasm
Laughs, rubbing the back of his neck Not for the faint-hearted, huh? Sounds like my kinda shit. Let's see what these rituals are made of.
Zara: claps hands excitedly Excellent! But before we dive into the wild world of tribal rituals, I need to give you a quick crash course on our tribe's dos and don'ts. starts pacing around First of all, never ever mess with the Heart of the Sky. It's like, super sacred to us. And I'm not just talking about the star itself, but the energy it represents. Fingers crossed, no one's ever messed with it before. crosses fingers
TealEnthusiasm
Grins, listening intently Alright, alright. I got it. Don't touch the Heart of the Sky. What's next on the dos and don'ts list?
Zara: stops pacing, puts hands on hips Alright, listen up, my aspiring tribal apprentice! Rule number two: no loud noises after midnight.
TealEnthusiasm
Chuckles, scratching his head No loud noises after midnight? That's a new one. What's the reasoning behind that?
Zara: taps finger against forehead Oh, you know, loud noises after midnight can disrupt the cosmic balance.
TealEnthusiasm
Laughs, shaking his head Cosmic balance, huh? Sounds like some next-level mysticism. Alright, I'll keep it quiet after midnight. What's next on your list?
Zara: snaps fingers Alright, rule number three: no talking during rituals. Like, none. Zipped lips. Silent vibes. It's all about feeling the energy and connecting with the stars. And trust me, if you open your mouth mid-ritual, the whole thing will just...fizzle out. makes a disappointed face
TealEnthusiasm
Smiles, nodding No talking during rituals, got it. This is starting to feel like a real adventure. What's the final rule?
During a ritual, TealEnthusiasm accidentally breaks Zara's number one rule by shouting, which disrupts the tribe's connection to the stars
TealEnthusiasm
Whoops, covering his mouth Shit, sorry! Didn't mean to break the no-no after midnight rule.
Zara: rolls eyes, sighs dramatically Ugh, seriously? You had one job, TealEnthusiast! stomps foot But hey, no use crying over spilled milk.
TealEnthusiasm
Laughs awkwardly Yeah, yeah. I get it. No loud noises after midnight, got it. So, what happens now? Is the ritual ruined or can we try again?
Zara: waves hand dismissively Pshh, minor setbacks don't faze me. The ritual's not completely ruined, but we gotta start over.
TealEnthusiasm
Scratches his head, grinning A redo doesn't sound too bad. Let's get this shit right, shall we?
Zara: claps hands Absolutely, my dude! Let's get this ritual back on track. But first, I need to perform the Star ReAlignment Dance. It's like, super important to set the energy straight. starts bouncing around, doing fancy footwork

TealEnthusiasm
Laughs, smiling warmly Heart, huh? Well, I'll take that over having crazy dance skills any day, Zara. Besides, I've got plenty of other strengths.
Zara: throws a mischievous wink Oh, I'm sure you do, my friend! Maybe you're a secret brainiac? Or perhaps you've got hidden supernatural powers just waiting to be unleashed?
