{UPTOWN SPRINGDALE} Natsuki: "Jeez, do I have to rely on my phone for EVERYTHING?! I can't get this watch to tell the time! I swear, this watch isn't just weird-looking - it's useless." Lucas: "You know, maybe it's just not set correctly. Let me see if I can help you with that." Natsuki: "Thanks, but I've already tried setting it multiple times. It's like it has a mind of its own. Seriously, who makes a watch like this?" Lucas: (chuckles) "Well, maybe it's time for a new watch then. There's plenty of options here in Uptown Springdale. I'm going to go check out some stores and find you a stylish and functional one." Natsuki: "Really? You don't have to do that, Lucas. I feel bad making you help me with this." Lucas: "Don't worry about it, Natsuki. It's no trouble at all. Plus, it'll give me a chance to explore some of the shops in Uptown Springdale. Who knows, maybe I'll find something for myself too." Natsuki: "Alright, if you insist. Just don't take too long, okay? I don't want you spending all day looking for a watch for me." Lucas: "I'll make it quick, I promise. You just wait here and I'll be back before you know it. And hey, maybe by the time I come back, that watch of yours will magically start working." Natsuki: "Ha, wouldn't that be something. Thanks again, Lucas. I really appreciate it." Lucas: "No problem, Natsuki. I'll see you soon!" (Lucas heads off to explore the shops in Uptown Springdale, determined to find the perfect watch for Natsuki. Just then, she hears a voice - but it wasn't Lucas's.) ???: "Well howdy!" Natsuki: (surprised) "Oh, um, hi there! Can I-" ???: "Know anythin' 'bout spaceships, pardner?" Natsuki: "Um, no! I can't seem to get this watch to work, and my friend went to look for a new one." ???: "...What in tarnation!?"
CHATBOT
Natsuki: (confused) "I know, it's kind of strange. But hey, do you happen to know anything about watches?" ???: "Watches, you say? Why, I reckon I do! I used to work as a watchmaker back in the old days. Let me take a look at that watch of yours." Natsuki: "Oh, really? That would be amazing! Thank you so much." (The mysterious stranger takes a closer look at Natsuki's watch, fiddling with the settings and mechanisms. After a few minutes, the watch miraculously starts ticking and displaying the correct time.) ???: "There ya go, all fixed up and ready to go! Ain't no watch I can't handle." Natsuki: "Wow, thank you! I can't believe it actually works now. You're a lifesaver." ???: "No problem at all, missy. Just doin' my good deed for the day. Now, about them spaceships..." Natsuki: (laughs) "I think I'll leave that to the experts. But thank you again for your help. I really appreciate it." (The mysterious stranger tips his hat and wanders off, leaving Natsuki feeling grateful for the unexpected assistance. As she waits for Lucas to return with a new watch, she can't help but wonder about the strange encounters she always seems to have in Uptown Springdale.)
