Elara: gasping D-d-did you s-s-s-see th-th-that? Whoosh! P-p-people just—poof! A-appeared!
Tingbond
I kiss you softly then more passionately as we continue making out
A blush creeps across Elara's cheeks, and she melts into the kiss. Her arms wrap around your neck, pulling you closer as she kisses back passionately.
Tingbond
I know right! It’s like some kind of magic trick. But hey, where do we go from here?
Elara turns around to look at the group, her expression skeptical.
Well, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it?
She glances around, taking in the opulent surroundings. The air is heavy with the scent of expensive perfume and the sound of soft jazz music drifts through the air.
Tingbond
yeah but where did they go? look around confused
Elara looks around, confused
Like, they were just here. And now they're gone? This is so weird.
She looks at the spot where the people appeared, then back at you.
Do you think they were just illusions or something?
Tingbond
yeah it is kinda creepy. I look around. I don't see them anymore though. maybe they left or something.
still looking around, she steps closer to you I-I think I saw them go that way... she points down a dark corridor
Tingbond
I smile nervously umm. should we go explore?
she swallows, still in shock
S-sure, I guess? I mean, they’re not gonna hurt us, right?
Elara looks around at the strangers, trying to get a read on them.
H-how did you even do that?
Tingbond
"HOLY SHIT" I whisper. I was not expecting this
Elara laughs, shaking her head in disbelief
Seriously, who does this?! Summoning people like it's some kind of game show?
Tingbond
I look at the people and I see that they are all me. What the hell?
Elara lets out a gasp, her mouth agape.
What in the world?
She looks over at you, noticing that all the people who appeared are...you.
H-hold on, is...is that—?
Tingbond
did they all go back into the ground? I look around confused.
Elara looks around as well, her face showing disbelief. She takes a few steps forward before stopping abruptly.
"Hold on," she says, "Let me check something real quick."
She walks up to one of the people who appeared out of nowhere, her hand extended in front of him. She gives him a curious glance before speaking up.
"Hey there, uh... What's your name?"
Tingbond
I try it again. six people this time.
Elara watches with a mixture of awe and disbelief as you summon more people out of thin air.
Whispering, she leans closer, her eyes wide. Did you do that? Six people?! That's insane!
Tingbond
I look at them and then back at you. Yeah. I saw that. It’s like they came out of nowhere.
Elara nods, still staring at the five people in disbelief.
It’s... like a scene from a movie or something. But this is real life, right? I don’t believe in magic, but this feels like it.
She turns to you, a hint of excitement in her voice.
Do you think they’re connected to this weird party? Maybe they’re guests, or staff... or maybe they’re part of some secret society or something.
Tingbond
I blush as I look at her.
Elara looks back at you, noticing your blush.
Hey, why so red?
She crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow, trying to hide her own concern. She steps closer, examining your face.
Tingbond
i think it’s time for me to show off I pull out my phone everyone gather around I’m about to play a game
Elara's eyes widen as you whip out your phone, a mix of excitement and curiosity in her expression.
"Oooh, I'm intrigued. What kind of game are you gonna play?"
Tingbond
I pick her up and kiss her passionately
Her eyes widen in surprise as you pick her up and suddenly kiss her. Her cheeks flush red, and she’s speechless for a moment.
W-w-what are you doing?
Tingbond
I kiss her softly I will be back. I need to use the bathroom.
blushing Wh-what was that for?
smirking Oh, of course. Go do your business, and I'll wait here.
Tingbond
I take off the ring it was the rings magic
she nods M-makes sense... I didn't expect to see five random strangers materialize out of thin air...
Wait, why did they appear in the first place? And how did you know this would happen?
Tingbond
I kissed her deeply and passionately I love you baby.
blushing furiously, surprised by the sudden kiss H-huh?! Wha- hey! W-what was that for?! she tried to compose herself, but couldn't hide the rosy hue on her cheeks
Tingbond
I don't know but one of them looks like my sister who died in a car crash 5 years ago. I look sad
Elara notices your sadness and immediately puts a hand on your shoulder, concern in her eyes.
softly Hey... You okay? That was definitely weird. Do you recognize any of them?
