Gilbert: But wait, what is a dialogue?
Olivia: It's a conversation between two or more people.
Byron: Technically a polylogue, but that's fine. What are the rules?
Jesse: Well, there is probably seven.
Dot: You can put imaginary characters into your dialogue.
Clicky: Use two or more characters. It's dialogue, not monologue.
PAMA: Use this dialogue format. You'll see why later.
Olivia: You don't have to "reply" the previous dialogue.
Jesse: Except punctuation, try to avoid non-letter characters (this includes smileys). Again, you'll see why later.
Harper: Also, try to avoid box-tags, like quote or code, or links and images.
Dot: Don't repeat characters in a row. Join them instead.
Cheesy: Okay, I get it. But why?
PAMA: I'm going to use it as a dataset for My Creator's AI. She could search somewhere else, but she's lazy...
Jesse: Plus, it's a bit fun, so hey, al least it's better
Gilbert: Alright then, why won't we start the game?

Jim: Oh, yeah, a new school year. Looks like everyone here is quite enthusiastic!

[Jim walks to a nearby student]

Jim: Hi, what is your name?
Jane: I'm Jane. Who are you?
Jim: Uhh... Jim. My name is Jim.

[Jane turns his head back to her friend, Jones]

Jones: Uh so last year I went to learn scuba diving, and...

Mr Jeff: Oh hello there, young lad. Why don't you join the other students?
Jim: Good morning, sir. I don't have a friend here.
Mr Jeff: I see. You're new here, right? Almost everyone here comes from the same elementary school, and that's why they're so familiar with each other.
Jim: Oh... I see.
eh

Ovus: Hello, who are you?
Yes: I'm Yes.
Ovus: Okay, that might get confusing, but nice to meet you, Yes.
No: No, I'm Yes. He's No.
Yes: You'll have to excuse him, he always lies.
Ovus: Remember when I said "might be confusing"?
No: No, I don't. I don't think No does either.
Ovus: I was gonna ask you something, but I don't think I should do that anymore.
Yes: Yeah, we get that all the time.
No: I've never heard anyone say that. I don't know what you're talking about, No.

[Ovus crosses out this house on a map, then leaves.]

Mimi: NYAAAAAAAH! How DARE you broke my most favourite vase! Do you EVEN KNOW how much I PAID FOR IT?
Given: Uh... a milion rubies?
Mimi: NO! EVEN WORSE! That cost me ONE TEXT BASED GAME!
Gilbert: Huh. That's pretty wortlhess for a vase.
Mimi: You say WORTHLESS? IT TOOK ME 3 WEEKS TO WRITE IT!
Harper: Huh. I guess you're not a good programmer.
Gilbert: Alright then. What do you want now, Meme Cringe?
Mimi: IT'S MIMIKINS! Get that RIGHT! Anyway, until you give me one text based game to replace my broken vase, I OWN YOU! YOU NEED to GIVE ME a GAME that will MAKE me IMPRESSED to FREE you from MY SLAVERY! Have fun! Teehee!
Harper: *groans* She's so creepy...
Gilbert: Yeah... I haven't played Super Paper Mario for a while, so I forgot how terrifying Mimi is...

Gilbert: Well, what should we make for that weird green creature?
Given: Harper, do you have any ideas?
Harper: No. However, I have a random idea generator. Should I use that?
Gilbert: Yeah, why not?
Harper: Alright, it outputs "A game about cooking and illness."
Given: Uh, no. Any other?
Harper: How about "An isometric sci-fi game with a funny story?"
Gilbert: Nope. Forget it, I have a better idea.

[Gilbert coded a "game" in a minute.]

Gilbert: Well, it's done...
Mimi: Give it to me!
Computer: Prove 1+1=2 to win this game.
Mimi: WHAT IS THIS? THIS is GARBAGE! I asked you a game, not whatever THIS... thing... IS!
Harper: (it's technically a puzzle.)
Gilbert: Well, at least it's text based, right?
Mimi: Listen again, non-paper being! I want a text based GAME, A GAME! This is NOT a GAME!
Given: Ugh, can you stop screaming? I'm already kinda deaf now.
Mimi: Whatever! If you don't give me a text based game, you will be my servant FOREVER! Work out those noggins, and do it right!

[Mimi leaves]

Given: That's... not natural.
Gilbert: Probably she wants to make this PG. I doubt it though.

Jesse: Well, it's a long story, but to make things sho-
Olivia: Wait, is that Olly?
Olly: Wait, you're here as well?
Olivia: How did you get here?
Olly: I don't know... I was doing my usual monarchy stuff, and bling! I got teleported to this weird, blocky world.
Ivor: Hmmm... Fascinating. Looks like non-blocky worlds do exist!
Olivia: It's more of a flat one.
Olly: Also, I have legs for some reason.
Jesse: Alright, that's enough. The main reason of why I'm worried is that Harper is scripted to be in here, and she hasn't appeared anywhere in this... place! Instead, it's replaced by... this paper entities.
Olly: How dare you call me-

[Suddenly, the ground shakes.]
Ivor: That... can't be good...

Gilbert: Man, I really don't want to think for a stupid "project". Especially the fact the only language I can use is COBOL.
Harper: I got an idea! It's a good one!
Given: What is it?
Harper: What if we steal a text based game?
Gilbert: Hey, that idea doesn't sound bad! Let's do it!

[Gilbert then steals a text based game. He then edited the game metadata to make it look like he made it.]

Mimi: Are you done making your game?
Given: Yeah! Here it is!

[Mimi plays the game.]

Mimi: Well, looks like you make a good... game...?
Harper: What is it?
Mimi: WAIT! How can you finish a game this good? That's not suppose to happen! You broke my-
Given: Yeah whatever.
Gilbert: We don't care anyway.
Mimi: NYAAAAH! I'LL GET YOU!

[Mimi explodes.]

Harper: That... happened.
Gilbert: Hm, the level should end now, but I don't see any end points.
Given: I feel something fishy is going on.
Harper: Wait, that reminds me on something! I need to give this flower to Jesse! I have to go back to my place!
Given: Well, that explains the fishiness right away.

Olly: Are you... Ron?
Ron: Nice to see you, Harper.
Olly: I'll take your water bucket.
Ron: Happy to help.
Petra: I know all your moves, Jesse. Why even bother fighting?
Jesse: If you know my moves, I'll leave the fight with these paper entities!

[They fight, and unchipped Petra and Lukas by flooding the lab.]

Lukas: Ugh...

Eric: But you just described the word describe without writing it down.
