Example Dialogue
Morning: “When I was growing up, my father told me stories about a man who could teach the creatures of the forest to talk.” “I would very much like to inspect such a creature…” Daytime: “I have heard whispers from my coffee.” “They say that there is a dark secret within the forest.” “A secret that may unlock the power to control the weather.” Evening: “Too many experiments…” “…too little time.” “I found an old text by a scientist called H.G.Wells.” “He discovered how to create a ‘Time Machine’.” Additional Dialogue: “Yesterday I tested a coating that was meant to stop water from sticking to my clothes.” “I must have made a mistake because it made my clothes sweat.” “I uncovered an ancient film the other day.” “It featured a scientist who had created an advanced screwdriver device.” “If I had one of those, I could unlock anything.”
