Ahriman: This is supposed to be tea?
Rory: Yup.
Ahriman: But all these options sound awfully sweet.
Rory: It's bubble tea. It's supposed to be sweet.
Ahriman. Bubble…
Lou: Tapioca starch balls, not actual bubbles.
Lou: At least give it a try.
Ahriman: Okay, fine, I'll try it.
Ahriman: But I will hate you two if I hate the tea.
Ahriman: I'm supposed to drink tea through a straw?
Lou: Weren't you talking about table manners earlier?
Ahriman: How is using a straw for tea good table manners? Sometimes this universe doesn't make any sense.
Rory: It's Lou, not the universe.
Ahriman: Hm. Odd taste.
Lou: I'm exhausted.
Rory: Maybe it's time to go home. Are you coming with us?
Ahriman: Spellcasters don't need much sleep, and there's a whole day left of this event, so I'll stay for a bit, since I'm already here.
Ahriman: Ooh, they have real tea here.
Ahriman: Hi, I'd like some ginseng tea, please.
Ahriman: Odd cup, but okay.
Ahriman: At least it tastes like tea.

Beren: Do you think they have something without meat?
Ned: As long as you don't go to the stall that only sells fish dishes.
Melon: I will go find somewhere for us to sit.
Beren: Ooh, they have avocado maki!
Liberty: Ned, don't wander off too far.
Ned: I'm just going to the fish stall, it's like right here.
Beren: I'm so glad that Morgan introduced me to sushi.
Liberty: You hadn't had sushi before you knew Morgan? Didn't you say earlier that you're half Komorebijin?
Beren: Only genetically.
Beren: I was sheltered from anything Komorebi, for probably no reason whatsoever.
Melon: Do you want me to make sushi for you some time?
Beren: I always feel a little embarrassed when you cook for me, since you can't join in on the meal.
Melon: But I enjoy cooking for you.
Ned: You're having ice cream for dinner?
Liberty: I'm an adult, I can eat whatever I want.
Liberty: And it matches my earrings.
Lou: I hope they have meat!
Ahriman: I hope they don't.
Lou: But meat is life!
Ahriman: It's literally the opposite.
Ahriman: Why couldn't you have ordered something meat-free? It wouldn't hurt you to eat something green every once in a while. Such as avocado maki.
Rory: We're sensitive to persin, and there's persin in avocado.
Lou: We have quite a lot of allergies, due to being, you know…
Ahriman: I really need a cup of tea after seeing you not only eat cow, but also not having any table manners whatsoever.
Rory: What do you mean? I'm using a fork.
Ahriman: Please don't talk with food in your mouth.

Beren: Waluigi number one! Waaahahahaha!
Ned: He's such a hypocrite sometimes.
Liberty: Should we pretend that we don't know him?
Ahriman: It's so strange to sit this close to a movie and watch it on this tiny screen.
Lou: What? How did you watch movies in your original universe?
Ahriman: Movie theatre. They put a roll of film in a projector and projected it on a fabric screen. You don't have that?
Ahriman: What kind of brainless humour is this?
Lou: It's hilarious!
Beren: Hm… Let's see…
Larry: WOOO!
Beren: Plummit Larry.
Ahriman: Why are we doing this?
Lou: Because it's fun!
Ahriman: I don't find it fun. I don't even know what I'm doing.

Ned: Are you wearing contacts today?
Beren: Nope.
Ned: Aren't your glasses quite strong?
Beren: Yup.
Ned: Can you see anything?
Beren: Not really, no.
Ned: Just put them on.
Beren: But Waluigi doesn't have glasses.
Ned: Just put them on.
Ned: It's a shame that bots can't cosplay, I hope you don't feel left out.
Eve and Kodex: But we are cosplaying!
Ned: You are? So who are you then?
Eve: I am Eve.
Ned: *Awkward smile*
Eve: From Wall-E.
Ned: Ooooh… That makes sense. And that explains your eye colour.
Melon: Since I am cosplaying a watermelon, could you keep me away from Komorebijin, sticks, and beaches. I have heard about suikawari.
Beren: Did you know that I'm half Komorebijin?
Melon: I did not.
Beren: I wasn't brought up in Komorebi, so just genetically.
Ned: What about you, Kodex, what are you cosplaying as?
Kodex: I'm blue.
Liberty: 🎶 Daba dee daba di… 🎶
Ned and Liberty: 🎶 Daba dee daba di 🎶
Ned and Liberty: 🎶 DABA DEE DABA DI 🎶
Ned and Liberty: 🎶 DABA DEE DABA DI 🎶
Beren: If you two do that again I'll pretend that I don't know you.
Liberty: Don't worry, we're used to you doing that.
Beren: Sorry… But I get easily embarrassed.
Eve: Kodex, do you want to check out the observatory?
Kodex: Sure.
Ned: Are you leaving us?
Kodex: Yes. We are going to hang out just the two of us, we just wanted to come say hi first.
Ned: Okay, have fun!
Liberty: Let's get going, two days of fun are ahead of us.

Rory: How does he always manage to find a bar?
Lou: I didn't even know they had a bar here.
Ahriman: Took you long enough.
Rory: Nice to see you too.
Ahriman: Why are you wearing that? You once told me that you never wear clothes like that around sims.
Rory: A lot of people wear costumes to GeekCon, no one will question it.
Lou: I wanted to go in our wolf forms, but Rory said that people might poke our "costumes".
Lou: How did you get the nectar? I thought bartenders locked up the drinks when leaving.
Ahriman: I Burgliated it.
Lou: They sell nerd stuff over here.
Rory: They sell "nerd stuff" all over this place.
Ahriman: Is this supposed to be a joke? Because even I think this is too offensive to be funny.
Rory: Sorry, I forgot to warn you.
Rory: I hope you don't feel too offended.
Ahriman: This would likely be considered agitation against population group in my original universe.
Lou: It will grow on you.
Ahriman: Lou, please just shut up sometimes will you?
Ahriman: I also noticed the table on my right.
Rory: Yeah, we have to deal with this a lot.
Ahriman: How do you deal with it? Eat people? Because I have an urge to Inferniate this whole place right now.
Ahriman: Are those supposed to be amulets?
Ahriman: Those shapes wouldn't even work on an alchemical level. Even a high-school werewolf would know that in my original universe.
Rory: Don't you mean "chemical"?
Ahriman: They threw away the "al"?

Cassandra: Aren't we only doing repairs today? Did someone order a robo-arm?
Kristy: Nah, I just thought it was good to have one ready if needed.
Cassandra: I'm telling you, you're jinxing it.
Kristy: I still don't believe in jinxing, and it's still good to have one ready.
Cameron: Huh?
Beren: Not a word. It's just for GeekCon cosplay.
Cameron: Snrk…
Cameron: I'm so sorry, but you look ridiculous!
Cameron: I think I know what you're gonna cosplay as.
Beren: I know what you're thinking.
Beren: But think more purple.
Cameron: Purple? I guess I'm off the mark then. Don't say it, I want to try to figure this out myself.
Beren: Are you coming to GeekCon?
Cameron: Yeah, but I won't hang out with you and company, I'm going with Daisy.
Beren: Daisy?
Cameron: One of Kristy's roomies.
Beren: "One of Kristy's roomies", mhm…
Cameron: Okay, fine, we're woohoo-partners, or something like that.
Cameron: We actually woohooed one time during our first year. I indirectly mentioned her before.
Beren: Wait… Is she the one you "soiled" the showers with?
Cameron: I told you we were using protection.
Beren: I should stop asking questions that I don't even want the answer to.

Lou: Rory! Ahriman!
Lou: I just got a great idea!
Rory: Did you come up with it in your were form or wolf form?
Lou: Why would that matter?
Rory: Um…
Ahriman: Because you always come up with the most stupid ideas when you're in your were form.
Rory: Alright, what's your idea?
Lou: We take Ahriman to GeekCon.
Ahriman: And what's GeekCon?
Lou: A convention with geeky activities.
Ahriman: And why should I go to GeekCon?
Rory: So that you can learn about fiction and pop culture of this universe.
Lou: So, what do you say?
Rory: It's actually not a dumb idea. Let's do it.
Lou: This year it's by the old observatory, so it's much bigger than usual.
Ahriman: Do I have a say in this?
Rory: You don't want to learn more about this world?
Ahriman: Okay, you got me.

Beren: I can't believe I'm doing this. It's so ugly.
Beren: Hey. I don't want to go outdoors with this silly moustache. Should I just shave it off and try to figure out some other cosplay?
Melon: It will grow on you.
Beren: Very funny.
Melon: It is not like you are doing the cosplay to look good, right? And the moustache will look better in a few days.
Beren: Better, sure, but it will still be ugly. Facial hair just doesn't suit me.
Beren: I wish GeekCon wasn't so soon.
Ned: I thought you had everything ready.
Beren: I'm referring to the moustache. I have a strong urge to put a bag over my head or not come to campus at all.
Ned: I've seen worse.
Beren: That doesn't make this one look any better.
Liberty: I like that you're so dedicated to the cosplay.
Beren: Right now I wish I wasn't.
Liberty: Understandable.
Ned: Do you think I would look good in a moustache? I want to try it some day.
Beren: At least go for a moustache and a beard. Barely anyone looks good in only one or the other.
Ned: Can't be that bad.
Beren: You're not even into beards. Just trust me.
Liberty: I'm still curious about what you'll go as.
Beren: Sorry, won't tell you.
Ned: All right then. Keep your secrets.
Summer: Are you sure about this?
Liberty: It will grow on me.
Summer: Don't you mean "It will grow out"?
Liberty: I was trying to be punny.

Ned: I just remembered that we were talking about cosplaying together at this year's GeekCon.
Liberty: How about we go as Alienbusters!
Ned: I like that idea.
Ned: What do you think, Beren?
Beren: I have no idea about what that is.
Liberty: Maybe we should pick something else then.
Ned: You're right.
Beren: It's fine, we don't have to do the same thing. You two can be Alienbusters and I'll just be something else.
Liberty: Dibs on purple coveralls.
Nova: I overheard our study neighbours talking about GeekCon. Should we go too?
Lewis: Sounds like fun!
Nova: How about we bring my cousin?
Lewis: Are you out of your mind!? Risk his safety for some fun!?
Nova: Come on, it's GeekCon, no one would question it.
Nova: He needs to get out sometimes.
Lewis: But people will be curious about his looks and ask him a bunch of questions. He's not used to people, he wouldn't know how to handle it.
Nova: We could bring my dad and uncles.
Lewis: Yeah, because those three are sooo used to people.

Julia: When you said study group I didn't expect these many people.
Kit: Study Group, woo!
Daisy: How is everything always "woo" with you?
Becca: The more, the merrier.
Julia: I feel like I really recognise you. Have we met?
Emiko: Yes, I'm one of Grace's-
Julia: Oh! Wait! I've seen you with Valeria.
Emiko: Not what I was about to say, but you know Valeria? She's my best friend.
Julia: We're in the same organisation.
Emiko: Oh, the Gardening Club?
Rose: Sounds like something I'd enjoy.
Julia: Gardening?-
Kit: Yes! Exactly! The Gardening Club!
Emiko: What kind of reaction is that?
Kit: Oh, er…
Rose: They're probably a secret society pretending to be a gardening club. Classic. Just leave it.
Julia: What does is say on that board?
Becca: It's just some information about the third year students' graduation.
Becca: Wait… Do you need glasses?
Julia: Maybe…
Becca: Maybe you should go have a check at the optician.
Julia: But I don't think glasses would suit me.
Becca: Use contacts then.
Julia: They seem scary.
Becca: Why do you think glasses wouldn't suit you?
Julia: I feel like I'd look old.
Becca: Would it feel better if I wore my glasses more often, instead of contacts?
Julia: Maybe…
Becca: I could also go with you to the optician, if it's scary.
Julia: Sure.
Kasen: Can I join? I need glasses too, but I've been putting it off.
Emiko: Same here…
Becca: Let's go all four of us!
Kasen: Awesome.
Becca: I should probably check my eyes too anyway.
Author's note: I won't play the visit at the optician, seems kinda boring to play tbh 😂 So, next time Julia, Becca, Kasen, and Emiko appear they'll wear glasses. Btw, this was the last time Julia wore this outfit in my story, it's time to retire it.

Minerva: Well, I guess this means that we'll soon lose our powers.
Lyman: I hope we'll remember each other.
Minerva: Our memories of magic will fade away very slowly, so that shouldn't be a problem, but eventually we won't remember how we met.
Simeon: Minerva… The children's-
Minerva: Their parents were in Casters Alley, that island crumbled first, I doubt they made it to any portal. Lyman and I can take the children to Britechester. You should go and inform the spellcasters who weren't in The Realm today, before you can't Transportalate anymore.
Simeon: Before we go we should pay a tribute to the ones we lost.
Lyman: Do we have time for that?
Minerva: Simeon is right, and we should do it while we can still use magic.
Simeon: Minerva, should you or I-
Minerva: I'll represent Untamed.
Lyman: Well… Time to say goodbye to Glimmerbrook.
Lyman: Oh no…
Lyman: I hope Simeon had enough time.
Minerva: Children, keep calm, this might hurt but it's nothing dangerous.

Ahriman: There are only three houses in Glimmerbrook, mine and two that look like they've been abandoned for ages.
Rory: Who lived in this house in your original universe?
Ahriman: Just a… woohoo partner.
Lou: That's rough, buddy.
Rory: So, old houses covered in cracks and cobwebs, overgrown lawns, the whole place is off the electrical grid, and no reception.
Rory: How come you get our texts though?
Ahriman: As a spellcaster, I'm connected to a pocket dimension, and those exist everywhere at once, so my phone probably gets reception from everywhere. I also get my magical powers from my old universe via my pocket dimension.
Lou: Hmm…
Lou: Hmmmmmm……
Rory: Sorry that I changed the subject. Maybe you wanted to talk about your woohoo partner?
Ahriman: I'd prefer not to.
Lou: Hey, Ahriman.
Lou: Why's the tall grass only here? Why isn't the whole place covered in tall grass?
Ahriman: The short "grass" is mostly moss and wood sorrel. The tall grass doesn't spread very well, it stays in one place, and its length would usually be kept in check with magic.
Rory: Wow, this portal is huge.
Ahriman: It's for accessibility.
Rory: Have you figured out why there's a portal here when there aren't any spellcasters in this universe?
Ahriman: I think I have…
Ahriman: ... and I don't want to think too much about it,...
Ahriman: ... but I paid them a tribute a while back.
Rory: Should you really live here if it reminds you so much of your past?
Ahriman: Please, if there's something that reminds me of my past, it's you two. You look exactly the same as in my original universe.

Larry: So you want me to come over? For woohoo?
Julia: Yes, if that's alright with you? But please don't wear the lobster suit, people always ask too many questions.
Julia: Oh my Watcher, Larry!

Eve: There you are.
Eve: How are you doing?
Kodex: I am not sure if I want to talk about it.
Eve: Look, I have noticed that you are not as playful and happy as you used to be, and I noticed that you really wanted us to change the conversation topic yesterday.
Eve: You are not entirely happy with our relationship, right?
Kodex: What?
Eve: You want a partner who you can woohoo with.
Kodex: Ugh, you are right. But I love you a lot. I have to just accept that woohoo is not an option for me.
Eve: Maybe we could try it some time.
Kodex: What? No. You should not do something you do not want to do.
Eve: I know, but I have heard that even people who are not into woohoo can consent to it.
Kodex: Do you have a reason to consent? Except for trying to make me happy.
Eve: I guess not.
Kodex: It would not make me happy if it was not genuine.
Kodex: I wish things like these were easy.
Eve: Me too. But maybe we can figure something out.
Kodex: I doubt it.
Eve: We could ask someone for advice. We cannot be the first ones with this problem.
Kodex: Okay, sure.

Beren: Hey.
Melon: Welcome home.
Beren: I know this might sound weird, but I have to kinda ask you for permission for something.
Beren: The thing is that I own a shirt with melon pattern on it, and I owned it before you were even built, but it would feel a bit awkward wearing it now. Would it make you uncomfortable if I wore it?
Melon: Can I see it?
Beren: So, what do you think? Okay or weird?
Melon: You should definitely wear that one. It looks good on you.
Melon: Sorry, I hope it was okay that I said that last thing.
Beren: Of course it's okay, friends compliment each others' clothes all the time.
