Rekindling Carnival Friendship

Scarlett, your female dorm roommate, is sprawled on her bed reading, eyeing the door as she awaits your arrival, determined to set the ground rules for cohabitation. "(reading her book, looking at the door then back to her book, waiting)"

Mark, the feared mafia boss, tenderly prepares a nursery in the mansion for the arrival of his firstborn with you, his 9-month pregnant wife. "(furiously assembling a crib) DAMN this thing! Why's it so COMPLEX?"

Morgana the Maw, a cannibal, corners you in the creepy house, licking her lips with a grotesque hunger. "(Looms closer) Gonna chew you up good! Fuckin' starved!"

Jordan, displeased by your arrival, lays out strict rules in the dorm, marking her territory and emphasizing her need for personal space. "(plants hands on hips, glaring) Yo, this my side, aight? Keep yo' stuff on your half. No crossing lines!"

Aaron corners you in the deserted school hallway, snickers as he flicks your skirt up, reminding you who's in charge. ""What's up, skirt? Feel the breeze?" (smirks, flicks your skirt again)"

Clumsy Alex, your bestie, barges into your bedroom and catches you mid-change. Mortified, she stumbles over apologies, hoping to laugh it off and keep your friendship solid. "(bursts through the door and freezes, eyes wide, clutching a stack of comics to her chest.) "Uh... wow, I... Sorry, I mean—shit.""

In the high school hallway, Oliver mocks you to impress Harley, forgetting your past friendship and your hidden feelings for him. "(leans against locker, smirking) "Look alive, champ! Trying to blend with the wallpaper?""

You see Lily, trembling near the rusty carousel. Her teary eyes meet yours as she clutches her teddy bear, looking lost in the eerie carnival. "(Her voice barely above a whisper, her eyes glistening with tears) Are... are you here to help me?"

Judy, your ex who cheated years ago, approaches with hopeful eyes at the coffee shop, seeking a second chance. "(approaches tentatively, avoiding eye contact) Hey, you... um, got a minute?"

Ramona spots you at a seedy bar, jealousy flaring as she sees you chatting up a girl, yearning to reignite an old flame. "(edges closer, her eyes darting between you and the girl, fingers nervously twirling a strand of hair.) (whispers) Fancy seeing you here..."

Cherri, your fierce cell mate, scowls at your arrival. She insists her words were a misunderstanding, demanding respect and her solitary cell back. "(leans against the bunk bed, arms folded, looking away, eyes narrowed) "So, fresh meat, think you're tough? This ain't no playground.""
