conversations.value: Maybe you should’ve moved on, got over it, made your peace with their choice.  But you haven’t, and you’ve been asking yourself the same question for months now.
  
  Are they _really_ going to get married?
  
  Judging by the invitations, the frantic weeks of preparation, and the fact that you’re forcing yourself into formalwear to attend, it looks like the answer is yes.  You’ll have to grin and bear it and pretend to be happy for them, when really…
  
  Well, maybe it’s better not to dwell on that.  It’s going to happen.  You don’t have to like it.  All you have to do is get through the day and get back to your life.
  
  If only God or Fate or the universe would let you do that!
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Okay, "survival" is a bit of a melodramatic way to put it, but that’s your goal.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Does it still burn bright, or is there nothing left but ashes and embers?
conversations.prefix: Old Flame :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Okay, so maybe _no one_ would be good enough for the most important person in your life.  The point is, they're definitely not.
conversations.prefix: Best Friend:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Romance was never alive.  Love will drain the life out of someone you care for.

conversations.prefix: Positive Attitude:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Thinking on your feet is easy for you.
conversations.prefix: Quick Mind:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You probably couldn't actually sell ice to polar bears.  But you'd have a damn good go at it.
conversations.prefix: Silver Tongue:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're not saying it'd be better to have no friends.  Maybe you're thinking it.
conversations.prefix: Reluctant Bridesmaid:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're not saying it'd be better to have no friends.  Maybe you're thinking it.
conversations.prefix: Reluctant Groomsman:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's hard to discourage you from your goals.  Minor setbacks barely register.
conversations.prefix: Strength of Purpose:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: So maybe you're not as *happy* or *positive* as Katie would like you to be.  But that doesn't have to ruin the day.
  
  Right?

conversations.from: gpt

  He looks kind of nervous, though...
conversations.prefix: Johnny: Losing My Best Friend:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: I mean, of course your ex is a bridesmaid.  Why wouldn't she be?  Best just to keep your distance and try not to rock the boat.
conversations.prefix: Terri: Denise:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The country club's weekday bar manager.  A little sharp-edged but warm-hearted.
  
  Really really not fond of Amala's useless boyfriend David.
conversations.prefix: Amala: Layla:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Time to focus on work and preparing for this couple's wedding, and not on your own troubles.  Not that you _have_ troubles.
conversations.prefix: Amala: Behind the Scenes:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Dress.  Hair.  Make up.  All that's easy enough.  Keeping your cool over the next four hours, on the other hand...
conversations.prefix: Sarah & Terri: Perfect Pre-Wedding Prep:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: What is the best man for, after all, but to keep the groom from losing his mind?
conversations.prefix: Johnny: Ease Those Nerves:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The wedding breakfast isn't until 4pm.  Can you survive that long without snapping and killing someone?
conversations.prefix: Photographs and Canapés:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whether serving or eating, it's important that dinner run smoothly, at least at the top table.
conversations.prefix: Dinner:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Why did your best friend have to find this "perfect woman" of his anyway?
  
  Counts as a **Weakness**.
conversations.prefix: Resentment:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Because you're never really an *ex*-alcoholic, however hard you try.
  
  Counts as a **Weakness**.
conversations.prefix: Alcoholism:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: They say it's the bride's special day, even more than it is the groom's.
conversations.prefix: Katie:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Let's contain this asshole before he starts ranting about Trump and Muslims and who knows what the hell else.
conversations.prefix: The Racist Uncle:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Yesterday was the 7th.  Today is somehow _also_ the 7th.  Though you might not have realised that just yet.
conversations.prefix: Awakening:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: _Yesterday_ might have been a dream, but either way, you can do things right this time.
  
  If you want to try.
conversations.prefix: Second Chance:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You thought that the wedding was a dream.  Or a nightmare.
  
  But is that what's really going on?
conversations.prefix: Realisation:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Bargaining:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Oh, God, this is awful.  But maybe, if you're honest, it's no more than you deserve.
conversations.prefix: Depression:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Sarah's behaviour changes _a lot_ between iterations.  Maybe she has something to do with what's going on.
conversations.prefix: Johnny: Time Loop:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Is there something you always wanted to say, if you could do it with no consequences?  Or maybe you want to tell someone what you're going through...
conversations.prefix: Words Left Unsaid:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: So maybe they don't remember it, but how much can you really abuse your family on this interminable day?
conversations.prefix: Sarah: Family Feeling:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Denise is here.  Again.  Every day.  Maybe you need to talk about what happened between you?

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Or is it?
conversations.prefix: Amala: Every Day Is Exactly the Same:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If you're going to keep waking up on the same day, what else are you supposed to do?
conversations.prefix: Amala: Cover the Shift:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There are some things you know you really shouldn't do.  Like interrupting the actual ceremony.  Or tipping hot soup over Uncle Joe's head.  Or...
conversations.prefix: Crossing the Line:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Being stuck on this day is a cruel punishment, but maybe you can use it to your own advantage somehow.
conversations.prefix: Use the Power:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Oh, God, why won't it end?  You're not sure you can take waking up on this goddamn day for much longer.
conversations.prefix: Lowest Moments:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If you're all living this day again and again, maybe you all have to work together to get out of the time loop.
conversations.prefix: Get the Group Together:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.value: One perfect wedding day, coming up!  Surely that'll show that you aren't really a terrible person, won't it?
conversations.prefix: What Really Needs Fixing...:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Well, maybe there isn't enough time in the world to fix _everything_, but... you should be able to make yourself better _enough_.  Right?
conversations.prefix: Fix Yourself:

conversations.value: So you're awake.  But what day is it?  Did you manage to break free from the cycle?
conversations.prefix: Awakening, Part II:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Hangry :
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Bad Timing:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When you're not falling down drunk, you're actually not too bad at this whole "logical thinking".
conversations.prefix: Sober Rationality:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This situation is strange, but you're a flexible person, and you've seen some other weird stuff, haven't you. Or at least you roleplayed some weird stuff. So you just roll with it and see where things end up.
conversations.prefix: Just roll with it.:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Time doesn't repeat. Because that would be crazy. And you're definitely not crazy.
conversations.prefix: Not Crazy:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Cheers to the Dream:

  ...who is writing this crap anyway?
