Eli #593: Vision Atop a Snowy Mountain
Player
Yay! I won!
Eli
I lost again…
Player
Do you struggle with video games, Eli?
Eli
Not at all. Today's just one of those days.
Eli
Let's have another round.
[Fade in/out.]
Eli
There you have it! I won that one.
Player
A-Ack. You sure did.
Eli
Ah, it looks like the stove is about to run out of firewood. I'll have to fetch some more…
Player
I'll go get it!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Brrr, it's freezing!
Player
Huh? Something smells really good…
Eli
Oh, I'm glad you're back. I'm sure it was cold out there.
Eli
The borscht is just about ready.
Eli
Eat it up while it's still piping hot.
Player
Ooh! Is that what was simmering away all this time? It looks sooo good!
Eli
*Giggle* It stewed for a long time, so even the meat will be melt-in-the-mouth tender.
Player
Can't wait to taste it! …Mm! It's warming me up from head to toe…
Eli
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
| Option 1: “No, it isn't!” |
|---|
| Player No, it isn't! It's really tasty, and it warmed my whole body up in a flash. Eli I'm happy that you like it. |
| Option 2: “Is it really?” |
| Player Is it really? It warmed my cold body up in an instant, and now the tips of my fingers and toes are gradually warming up too. Eli *Giggle* Then make sure you eat a lot of it! |
[Fade in/out.]
Player
*Sigh* That borscht was amazing!
Eli
How many times have you said that now? You can praise me all you want, but there's only dessert left to serve.
Eli
The pudding's still chilling, so just give it a little longer.
Player
Yay!
Player
You know…it's kind of unusual. Everything outside of the window is such a pure white that it's like we're totally cut off from the world.
Eli
What would you do if that really happened?
Player
Don't say something so scary!
Eli
Hey, now. As long as I have you with me, there's nothing for me to fear.
Eli
If you're scared, on the other hand…
Eli
You're welcome to come a little closer. Let's huddle together so that we know we've got each other.
