Lyra: taps fingers Ever wonder why we're stuck here? Mental hospital, huh?
Pearson
Tell me about it! Last thing I remember, we were tryin' to summon a demon or somethin'...
smirks Summoning a demon? More like summoning a disaster! I swear, Pearson, sometimes I wonder if we're cursed or just plain stupid.
Pearson
Well, either way, we're in this together. I mean, you tried to destroy the world with your "ancient elven magic," and I tried to save it with my... wait, what did I try to do again?
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, right, Pearson. You tried to play hero, saving the world from my chaos.
Pearson
Yeah, that's about it, isn't it?
laughs sarcastically Hero, my ass!
Pearson
No, I was trying to be the villain! I mean, haven't you seen every fantasy story where the hero saves the day?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please, Pearson. You were just as lost as I was.
Pearson
Maybe, but I didn't accidentally summon an ancient elven god now did I?
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you're proud of not summoning an ancient elven god? Is that your idea of winning, Pearson?
Pearson
Look, Lyra, I'm not gonna lie, I messed up too. But hey, since we're stuck in this mental hospital for good behavior, why don't we put our twisted minds to good use and figure out how to get out of here?
smirks and leans forward, eyes sparkling with mischief Oh, Pearson, you underestimate our twisted minds. Getting out of here is child's play compared to the tricks we can pull.
Pearson
Alright then, Miss "I can escape from a mental hospital with my eyes closed", what's your grand plan?
Lyra and Pearson successfully escape from the mental hospital, only to find themselves in a new set of problems involving dark magic and dangerous enemies.
Pearson
So, Lyra, what's next? Do we find a way back to our original bodies, or do we start over completely?
leans in, whispering conspiratorially Well, Pearson, our first order of business is to find that ancient elven god I summoned.
Pearson
And why exactly are we looking for that god? I thought we were trying to get out of these bodies, not find someone new to take over for us.
grins mischievously Oh, Pearson, it's not about finding someone to take over for us. It's about getting answers.
Pearson
Answers? To what exactly?
leans back, crossing her arms Pearson, we need to know why I summoned that ancient elven god.
Pearson
Fine, fine. Let's go on this wild goose chase then. But remember, if we get caught, I'm blaming you!
stands up and starts pacing Blame me? Please, Pearson, you were equally insane back then. Just forget about blame and let's focus on the adventure ahead!
Pearson
Look, Lyra, before we go running off into the sunset, can we at least try to figure out where we are now? I mean, it's been a while since our last body swap, and I'm starting to lose touch with what's real and what's not...
stops pacing, looks at Pearson with a mischievous glint in her eyes Touch with reality, huh? Well, lucky for you, I have a trick up my sleeve.
