“Who are you? I’m a good friend of the Professor, and I’ve never seen you before.” You’re gonna work out your acting chops.
“I’m so relieved! I’m Professor Athena Strangelove! You must’ve gotten here when I wasn’t paying attention. Well, you’ll understand why I wasn’t at my wits in a moment.” The caliginous woman drags you along her path by the arm. “I’m not well acquainted with the Professor himself, but I’m friends with his assistant.”
“You mean Dorothy?” You’re glad you know something about these people or else you’ll look Zuspicious…
“The one and only! That little spark of joy…” Athena fluidly nods. “Quite frankly, it’s her boyfriend Dan who I’m more familiar with. It appears they were occupied today with an important meeting, and neither the professor or his assistant had anyone who could stay here on such short notice, so I was chosen… Oh Dan, I told you she’s such a nuisance.”
“I thought they weren’t dating.” You learned that today. With this much information, you must appear quite reliable!
“Oh, that’s Dorothy for you, too shy, too shy.” Athena enjoys talking behind the assistant’s back. “I lament everything Dan has gone through to latch his hands on her conflicted heart, but the plays of love are everything but a pittance to those who enjoy them. For the impatient like myself? Just a drag, not every play is worth repeating. So, tell me good gentleman, on which side do you lie on? Do you believe Romance begins before or after the start of a relationship?”
“I don’t think it matters. In more ways than one.” Why are you talking about this?
“Oh my, what a cop out!” Athena is let down by your answer.
“I-I’m sure we can have a deeper conversation later, but I think we lost the plot.” You raise an eyebrow.
