=== Jade & Rosado === --- C --- [Jade] Hello, Rosado. If you have a spare moment, there's something I'd like to ask you. [Rosado] Let me guess. You wanna know the secret. How'd I get to be so cute? [Rosado] Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. I've always been adorable. I think it's destiny. [Jade] No, that's not my question. [Rosado] Aw. [Jade] Your energy seems to be limitless. I heard you can work all night and be fine the following day. [Rosado] Oh, that's true. Staying up all night is no big deal to me. I'm always fine the next day. [Jade] Ah, I envy that. I'd like to be that way too. [Jade] If I were able to work through the night, I could get so much more writing done. [Jade] Can you give me some advice? [Rosado] Y'know... I've never really thought about it. [Rosado] Pretty sure I just coast through the night on cuteness. I'm sure you could do it too! [Jade] Your energy comes from cuteness? [Jade] Strange...but I suppose it's worth a shot. [Jade] I've never tried to be cute before. I'd really appreciate some pointers from a professional. [Rosado] Jade...you came to the right place. Let's bring out your inner sparkle. --- B --- [Rosado] Ready, Jade? Today we set your best self loose. [Jade] Set loose? I don't think I'm actively restraining any part of myself. I'm not sure what to do. [Rosado] Do what comes naturally. Strike a pose, say a phrase─no wrong answers. Be you! [Jade] Hm. Very well. [Jade] Uh... Shucks-a-doodles. [Rosado] Perfect! Yes! You're beautiful! [Jade] Really? That did it? [Rosado] Really! Now, introduce yourself to me. Tell me who you are. [Jade] Shucks-a-doodles, I'm jimmy-jammy Jade. [Rosado] Jade! I promise, I don't say this to everyone. You're a natural. Over-the-top adorable! [Jade] Heh. [Rosado] You OK? Something wrong? [Jade] I'm fine. That was my laugh. [Jade] There's no way this tactic will help me work through the night. It's totally ridiculous. [Rosado] Haha! Well, that's a shame. So does the road to cuteness end here for you? [Jade] I think not. I'm having a good time. [Jade] I want to see how much further I can take this. It's definitely inspiring some new joke ideas. [Rosado] Yes! I'm gonna be there every step of the way! --- A --- [Jade] Heyo, rosey Rosado. Having a shucks-a- doodly day? [Rosado] Jade, you're incredible! Every greeting you give me is cuter than the last! [Jade] I must admit, this is a bit addictive. It's fun to turn this on without warning. [Rosado] What a wonderful monster I've unleashed. Good for you! [Jade] Thank you. It's liberating to relax and be silly like this. I know I don't look the type... [Rosado] That's true. Your face is like a marble sculpture. Classy, majestic─beautifully mysterious. [Jade] Sometimes I wonder if I should make an effort to express myself more. [Rosado] That mysterious air is exactly what's unique about you. Don't you dare hide it. [Jade] Well, shucks-a-doodles. I won't. [Rosado] There she is! So cute I can barely stand it! [Jade] I'm glad this little experiment led to us getting to know each other, Rosado. [Jade] I may not have found any secret wells of energy to help me write through the night... [Jade] But these "cute lessons" will definitely help me flesh out the quirks of some of my characters. [Jade] It's been fun to think about what makes something cute. Interesting creative exercise. [Jade] Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself. These chats have become very special to me. [Rosado] ... [Rosado] You are...the essence of cute. [Rosado] The way your true feelings shine through... Like a sunbeam─pure and radiant. [Jade] Thanks-a-doodles...but I still have a lot to learn from rosey-posey Rosado, cuteness maestro. [Rosado] Hahaha! High praise! Thanks! --- S ---
