Bob's Vacation

As always, the music playing on the Yellow Submarine Line is Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. A baby zombie sheep in the aisle appears to be dancing to it.

You are momentarily mesmerized by its slow shuffle.



Aha! You notice a familiar face! It is Miss Mara from work. You take a seat next to her, but she hasn't noticed you yet.

From work? This could get a bit awkward. Did you bring any entertainment-type items with you? A Book or an N-Gage or something?

Miss Mara works in the accounting department, and although you can't quite be sure, you always got the impression she disliked you somehow, so you are understandably hesitant to strike up a conversation.

You dig around in your cheek pouch for your smartphone so you can play a game.



Oh No! You found the charger, but no smartphone! You must have left it on the kitchen counter at home!

Break out in song to represent the despair felt by forgetting one's smartphone.

but sing that song to yourself.

Also, try to get a good look at Miss Mara. Not only is people watching sometimes amusing, but perhaps studying her will lead you to find common ground with a co-worker.

She seems to be going through a lot of mood swings.
First she looks happy, then bored, then in deep thought with chance of sadness.

You hum a few bars of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On to mourn the loss of your smartphone, and then you cram the charger back in your cheekpouch.

You notice that Miss Mara seems really agitated. She keeps fidgeting and frowning.

Instead of speaking up and saying "Hello" you decide to just stare at her like some kind of creepster.

If a girl looks upset you should give her a compliment. That always cheers them up.

I assume you want Bob to say something, so I'll finish for you.

Have Bob say "gosh you're pretty".
(I would link to a youtube video showing what I'm referencing, but I couldn't find the clip)

(That line sounds strangely familiar, now where might I've heard that?)

Say to Miss Mara"you seem to be upset, Miss Mara, is there anything I can help you?"

"I can't buy food with glory"

She seems a upset. Maybe a compliment will break the ice. You try to think of something to say that won't make you sound like a complete goober...

"Gosh, you're pretty day we are having today, Upset!? Can I help you with that?" you blurt. Well, dang, that didn't go well at all.

At least it got her attention.



Miss Mara says "Hey, I know you! What are you doing here?"

Cats are natural predators of hamsters! Flee!

Aren't we underwater by now? I don't reckon there's anywhere to run! (Though I do keep imagining that we're in a bus instead of a submarine)

Maybe she's just, like, one of those tsundere types. Maybe she'll warm up later. Right now I'm thinking the only options are to give a brief, honest response or to tell a silly and complicated lie to make yourself look cool, like "I'm en route to Atlanta Atlantis the ocean floor to meet with some affluent business execs. Cuttlefish business execs."

Brief honest response would probably be best! We may need to have Mara on our side after all since we're surrounded by Zombie sheep. Zombie MER-sheep. At least the young ones like dancing?



Your wish is granted?

To friends long gone, and those I've yet to meet - thank you.
