A moment of silence goes by, with all of them looking at each other awkwardly.
The man questions Talulla and Calista inquisitively, his tone seeking clarification.
Guy
Line 81) Do you ladies mind reexplaining the conclusion you all came up with about yesterday's events? My mind is quite fuzzy. I'm assuming it's a side effect of fainting.
Talulla introduces herself, speaking in a friendly manner.
Talulla
Line 82) Well, for starters, I'm Talulla.
Talulla points to Calista as she explains, with Calista glancing at the man irritatedly.
Talulla
Line 83) This is my roommate and best friend, Calista. The two of us tried out this affirmation ceremony from a pamphlet that a clerk from this fortune-telling place gave us yesterday. Next thing you know, the room gets engulfed with a whirlwind, and some sort of "glitchy hologramy projector portal thingy" pops you into this time.
The man looks at Talulla in shock as she elaborates.
Talulla
Line 84) That's pretty much it. Now we're just trying to figure out a way to send you back. So, later on, when you're up for it, let's give something a go, okay?
The man answers Talulla disconcertedly, trying to process her response.
Guy
Line 85) Y-yeah. Sounds like a plan...
Talulla questions the man curiously.
Talulla
Line 86) So, are you gonna tell us your name or what? So far, you're just "man" and "guy".
The man answers Talulla awkwardly.
Guy
Line 87) Sorry. My name is Marvin.
Talulla speaks welcomingly.
Talulla
Line 88) Well, it's nice to meet you, Marvin. Kind of.
Marvin smiles nervously, matching Talulla's energy.
Marvin
Line 89) It's nice to meet the both of you, too. Kind of.
Talulla speaks in a friendly manner.
Talulla
Line 90) So, do you trust us enough to eat now? I promise the food's not poisoned.
Marvin nods his head timidly, digging into his breakfast.
Calista observes Marvin with an immense attitude, continuing to hold her grudge against him.
