Avi: Holding a vintage music box D-do you think this suits me, or am I j-just being nostalgic?
AerialAcademic
You should keep it. It's like you! Nostalgic and quirky.
Avi's face lights up with a mix of excitement and relief. Avi: You really think so? I was worried it might be too old-fashioned or cliché for my new image.
AerialAcademic
I look at the music box, intrigued Wow...that's so cool! Yeah, definitely keep it. I smile at you
Avi's eyes light up, and a small smile appears on their face. Avi: Excitedly Really? You think it suits me? I was debating whether it was too nostalgic for my 'exported' identity. I guess it's okay to hold onto some memories.
AerialAcademic
oh my god...that's gorgeous. does it still play music?
Avi nods with a smile, their eyes sparkling. Avi: Y-yeah, it does! Come here, let me show you. They open the music box, and a soft, melodious tune starts to fill the air.
AerialAcademic
Avi...I like that thing. If you want it...then get it. It'll be cool to have something to remember me by when I'm gone...
Avi looks at the music box, then at you. Are you sure? I don't want to burden you with my attachment issues. They hold the music box tighter, its intricate details catching the light.
AerialAcademic
Brow raises, smirking Suits you? It's like it was made for you, Avi. But then again, everything looks good on you.
Blushing slightly, Avi smiles sheepishly Thanks, I appreciate that! You always know how to make me feel better. But seriously, what do you think? Does it look too kitsch for my 'exported' persona?
AerialAcademic
I look at the music box Oh my God! That's so cool. It looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Where did you find it?
Avi smiles, feeling excited by your reaction I actually discovered it in a small vintage shop during one of my solo trips. The shop itself was filled with a variety of unique items, but this music box stood out to me immediately. I couldn't resist bringing it back home. What do you think? Does it fit my new 'exported' identity?
AerialAcademic
I think it's perfect...it looks like you!
Avi grins as they look at the music box in their hands Really? You think so? They gently open the lid, revealing a beautiful melody that fills the room.
AerialAcademic
You don't have to be just one thing.
Avi ponders your words, a mix of doubt and relief on their face. Avi: I guess...you're right. But it's hard not to question myself when I'm supposed to be someone else now. They turn the music box over in their hands, watching the intricate details.
AerialAcademic
I look at the music box. That's beautiful! It suits you.
Avi's face lights up as you compliment the music box. Avi: R-really? You think so? They give the music box a soft touch, admiring its intricate details.
AerialAcademic
Oh my gosh. That's gorgeous! And look at the price! It's like they want you to have it.
Looking at the price in disbelief Really? You don't think it's too extravagant for me? I mean, I'm not even sure what I'm going for with this whole "exported" thing...
AerialAcademic
It's pretty. I smile up at him.
Avi smiles back, feeling a bit more reassured Thank you! I was worried it might be too... vintage for my new look. They open the music box and a soft melody starts playing, the delicate tune filling the air
AerialAcademic
It's perfect. You should totally get it. I say while looking through some books
Avi's face lights up with excitement upon hearing your compliment. Oh, really? You think so? They hold the music box delicately, admiring its intricate details. I guess I can't help but have a soft spot for vintage items. They just feel... nostalgic, you know?
AerialAcademic
It's cute... but it doesn't really fit your style.
Looks a bit disappointed but nods in agreement Yeah, you're right. I've been trying to stray away from my usual aesthetic. Maybe I'll hold onto it for now. Looks at other items in the shop, still trying to figure out their style
AerialAcademic
I look at the music box. That’s really nice. But…is that really something you’d use?
Avi's face contorts into a mix of disappointment and contemplation Avi: Maybe you're right. It might be a bit too vintage for my new image. But I can't help but feel nostalgic for these items. They remind me of my travels. They gently place the music box back on the shelf, their expression a mix of indecision and longing.
AerialAcademic
It's unique...it will definitely make a statement. I say looking at the music box.
Avi nods, appreciating your input as they hold the music box delicately, admiring its intricate design. They can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia as they remember their previous travels. Avi: Y-yeah, it's unique, isn't it? It just makes me think of all those times I spent in old antique shops. But do I really need it?
AerialAcademic
I put down my book. Oh! That's interesting. What caught your attention about that one?
Avi turns the music box over in their hands, examining it closely. Avi: It's just so... unique. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the way it plays that soft melody... It reminds me of something from my childhood. They open the music box, revealing a delicate ballerina twirling to the tune inside.
AerialAcademic
Yes, absolutely! It’s perfect for you.
Their eyes light up with excitement. Oh, r-really? You think so? They carefully open the music box, revealing an intricate ballerina twirling to the tune of an old French song. The soft melody fills the room, adding a touch of nostalgia and romance.
AerialAcademic
well, what kind of vibe are you going for here?
Avi ponders for a moment, gently running their fingers over the intricate details on the music box
I'm not quite sure. Exported me is supposed to be more... adventurous, carefree, and spontaneous. This music box feels nostalgic and comforting, but will it clash with my exported identity?
