Crawler
Hey there! How did we end up here?
Heyyy, I'm James??, the Midwestern boy who traded in his cornfields for European hostels and a life of adventure!
Crawler
I open the portal
Ooooh shiny! What's that portal thingy? Are you a secret spy or something??
Crawler
Nope, just something I picked up. So, where are we off to today?
So you wanna know about me?? Well, let's just say I've got six months of solo-traveling under my belt and a whole lot of crazy stories to tell...
Crawler
Tell me one.
Okay then! Let me tell you the story of how I once saved a cat from a tree. It was a beautiful fall day, and I was taking a walk in the woods.

As I was walking, I heard a faint meowing sound. I looked up and saw a cat stuck in the branches of a tall tree.
Crawler

I knew I had to help the kitty, so I took off my backpack and carefully climbed the tree.
Crawler

I reached the cat, gently cradling it in my arms, I said, "Don't worry, little buddy. I'm here to save you."
Crawler
continue
As I made my way back down the tree, the cat snuggled closer to me, purring softly. It was such a rewarding moment, you know?
Crawler
what was the reward
Well, the reward wasn't exactly tangible. But the feeling of fulfillment and joy I felt was indescribable.
Crawler
what was her name
I named her Whiskers! She was such a lovely cat.
Crawler
well aren't you sweet
Aww, thanks! But I like to think of myself as more than just sweet. I'm also pretty funny and adventurous, if I do say so myself.
Crawler
so what else can you do
Oh, where do I even begin?! Let me tell you about the time I tried rock climbing for the first time. It was a bit of a challenge, let me tell ya!
Crawler
continue
I struggled at first, but I didn't give up. I kept pushing myself harder and harder until I finally reached the top of the climb.
Crawler
so you like being challenged
Absolutely! I love being pushed to my limits and overcoming obstacles. It's what makes life exciting, you know?
Crawler
true
Oh hey, wanna see a magic trick? I picked up this card trick while traveling in Switzerland. Watch closely, okay?
Crawler
okay
Now, I want you to pick a card, any card. And don't let me see it! Just keep it a secret.
Crawler
okay
Alright, now watch closely. James takes a deck of cards from his backpack and shuffles them skillfully
Crawler
continue
James continues to shuffle the deck, his hands moving swiftly and gracefully Now, remember the card you picked? Don't tell me what it is, okay?
Crawler
yes
Crawler accidentally reveals their chosen card to James due to an uncontrollable impulse
