conversations.value: It's your first year of college. Maybe you graduated at the top of your high school class, maybe you're a legacy, but however you got here, it's all new to you.
conversations.prefix: Freshman:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether you're just a sophomore or getting ready to graduate, this ain't your first rodeo. 
conversations.prefix: Returning Student:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're not a freshman, but you're still feeling lost. Maybe you left friends and lovers behind, parting with bittersweet sorrow. Maybe you needed a new start. Whatever your reasons, you're here now. 
conversations.prefix: Transfer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You don't have time for a card description, you have to work on your thesis. 
conversations.prefix: Grad Student:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's your first week on the job. Oh God, I hope that wasn't important.
conversations.prefix: Barista-In-Training:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether here or at your old school, you've been doing this forever. You can brew it all. 
conversations.prefix: Barista Extraordinaire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You spend more time at Javawocky than in your own room. The baristas have your order memorized - or they will, once they get to know you. 
conversations.prefix: The Regular:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know how to read people, and you know of all the right things to say. You make people feel important when they talk to you. Let me guess: poli-sci or communications, right? 
conversations.prefix: Charming:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're passionate. You have a lot of feelings, and you are always willing to share them. Loudly. And in great detail. It's infectious. 
conversations.prefix: Excitable:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Maybe you're the best in your class, maybe you just have the potential. But you pride yourself on knowing things. You probably read the newspaper *for fun*.
conversations.prefix: Intelligent:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've always got your nose in a book. You have very serious opinions about the symbolism of the yams in Things Fall Apart, and you can quote Plath from memory. Maybe you're an English major, but even if you aren't - people assume you are, anyway. 
conversations.prefix: Well-Read:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: First and foremost, you are a fan. Movies, TV, popular novels, music - you bond over Hogwarts houses and favorite Doctors. You threaten to *Gone Girl* yourself if you don't pass, and referred to your best friend as your copilot after you saw Pacific Rim.
conversations.prefix: Pop-Culture Junkie:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whether you're witty and sarcastic, a colorful storyteller, or just a great lover of puns, you have a great sense of humor and you make people laugh.

conversations.prefix: Awkward:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You like to call yourself "non-confrontational" but really you just use avenues besides words to air your grievances. You're the master of the sulk and that cold-shoulder is damned frosty - but if anyone asks you what's wrong? "Nothing, I'm *fine*."
conversations.prefix: Passive Aggressive:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It might not be religious in nature, but you have a tendency to proselytize. Whether it's your favorite TV series, a self-help book that will "change your life, seriously", or you're just an outspoken vegan.
conversations.prefix: Evangelical:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Not everyone is trying to start a fight, so why does it seem like you are always looking for one?
conversations.prefix: Quick-Tempered:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're the constant one-upper. Whatever anyone else has done, you did it first, you did it better, and you did it with one hand tied behind your back...at least, the way *you* tell the story.
conversations.prefix: Braggadocio:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You probably think this card is about you.
conversations.prefix: Self-Absorbed:

conversations.prefix: Oblivious:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You worry about *everything*. Other people are exhausted trying to soothe your constantly-frazzled nerves.

conversations.value: Ridgeview's best spot for a great cup of coffee and cozy atmosphere. Not *technically* on the university's campus, but you'd never know that once the semester starts.
conversations.prefix: Javawockey Cafe & Bakery:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Maybe you didn't make a great first impression, or maybe you didn't make any impression at all. If at first you don't succeed...
conversations.prefix: What I Meant To Say...:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There is a basket next to the register full of treat bags - two cookies in each - with a sign behind it that reads "Free If You Share." You almost miss the smaller sign hanging off the front of the basket that says, ominously, "The baristas see everything."

conversations.prefix: Cookies:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: The Sharp-Eyed Barista:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: No free cookies today, but you see a few familiar faces.  Do you want to build on a good impression? Do you want to correct a bad one? Did you make no impression at all...but wish you had?

conversations.value: You’ve been working with Prof. Zuzel since you started your Masters coursework. Former hippie eco-warrior, current hippie Dean of the Life Sciences department at Ridgeview.

conversations.prefix: (Mitch) Prof. Antonia Zuzel:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your heart sinks when you lay eyes on the stooped, wizened Dr. Fritz. He seems, to you at least, to be positively *ancient*.

conversations.prefix: (Anjali) Prof. Jeremy Fritz:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: (Ava) A Vague Sense of Melancholy:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A little casual flirting across the counter is usually a no-brainer. It's harmless, it's fun, customers seem to like it, and it makes your shifts go by faster.

conversations.value: Well, bad *everything* day. Your socks are still wet from that run-in with the puddle earlier. You don't really want to be here, and you're not even fully trained yet. Why waste your time and everyone else's?
conversations.prefix: Bad Hair Day:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You do not hesitate to do what has to be done. Be it sharing a table with a stranger while in dire need of a seat and having to make a talk in order to do so.

conversations.prefix: Polite:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: With all that artistic flair and passion bubbling under the surface, you have a hard time hiding what you're feeling. Of course, when it's bad, it's bad -- but when it's good, everyone else can tell it's *very* good.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The furthest dorm from the Student Center and the Resident Safety Office, and primarily home to members of the varsity sports teams. Its location and demographics seem to be a tacit admission from the administration: we know you're going to party, and we'd rather you do it in the house.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Unless you brought your own, refreshments come in two flavors: beer from the keg (warm and cheap, but reliable), or jungle juice from the punch bowl (an unholy gamble, mostly vodka and fruit punch, but who really knows?). Do you drink? If you do, which do you choose, and is there a reason behind it? How sloppy do you plan to get? How sloppy do you *actually* get? Can you hold your liquor?
conversations.prefix: Drink, Drank, Drunk:

conversations.value: The beer pong table calls to you...
  
  Oh, no, that's just Eddie, from the baseball team. "Whoo! Who's next?"He points. "You! Pong?"

conversations.prefix: (Hal/Nimue) Group Project:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You woke up hungover in Nina’s arms. Is this the fragile start of a relationship (romantic or just friendly, it’s too early to tell) or is the Texan Don Juanita done with you?

conversations.prefix: (Caroline/JJ) The Kiss That Wasn't:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: (Ben) Tightrope:

conversations.prefix: (Justin) Who You Are In The Dark:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Okay, last night was a mistake, but you’re determined to make it a one-time-only special event. You’ll use the morning to get your head screwed back on straight.
conversations.prefix: (Dani) Back On The Wagon:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: First class of the semester, and your professor is Wrong. Sure, you’re hungover and you’ve been here all of ten minutes, but you can pull up some sources and set them straight handily. Or you can sit tight and make a first impression that...isn’t that.
conversations.prefix: (Thandiwe) Fight The Power:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's some cool-looking people you don't recognize, or you recognize but you haven't talked to yet. Maybe you should say hi?

conversations.prefix: Bulletin Board:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Welcome to QUILTBAG! New semester means new members means more icebreakers. (Yay?) Introduce yourself to the group and offer up two truths and a lie  - see if the rest of the group can guess which is the lie.
conversations.prefix: Two Truths and a Lie:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Diplomatic:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've broken away from what you were supposed to be, but that freedom has left a void.  It's time to work out who, in fact, you are.
conversations.prefix: The Real Me:

conversations.value: You try to be honest about your feelings.  It saves a lot of trouble in the long run.
conversations.prefix: Upfront:

conversations.prefix: Curious:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: If you make a move at the wrong time, she might say no, and things could get awkward. 
  But if you wait too long, she’ll start to lose interest, and you’ll seem like an insecure guy. 
conversations.prefix: Bold - Make a move:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Art is all about *connection*, man, and your corresponding sensibilities are a little "out there" in a way that seems to preclude shame. Long story short, ptting yourself out there is a skill you've got in spades.

conversations.value: Even though you're sometimes flustered, sometimes wacky, sometimes insane, it's hard not to like you. You're just so.... adorable!

conversations.value: In the aftermath your feel as everything you could have done wrong you did wrong... 
  
  Maybe you should try thinking before you speak next time. 
conversations.prefix: Introspective :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: For someone so talkative, you spend a lot of time listening.  Not to mention offering comfort to the drunk and/or miserable.
conversations.prefix: Compassionate:
conversations.from: human

  It's good to do it in a creative way.
conversations.prefix: Creative:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Friday classes are the same as [Wednesday classes](https://storium.com/game/words-cannot-espresso--3/chapter-1/scene-9), so today *should* have been easier - you know where you're going and who you're dealing with. But by the time you get to Javawocky that evening, you're ready to throw up your hands. What happened today? How did you deal?
conversations.prefix: TGIF:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I'm sorry, I have a techie friend who usually handles this, but she's out of town tonight..." Mona, the local aspiring singer-songwriter who runs Javawocky's open mic nights, apologizes when the sound system goes haywire - blaring out harsh feedback before cutting out completely. "Anyone here know anything about sound hookups?"
conversations.prefix: Sound Check:

conversations.prefix: Lost & Found:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: *[For one barista and one customer.]* The cafe is packed on open mic night, and though the baristas do their best to keep up with the orders, errors are bound to happen. Are you able to resolve the mistake peacefully, or do you cause a scene?
conversations.prefix: Wrong Order:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A demanding regular orders a blended frozen drink...right as the blender breaks down. She knows the owner and she's more than willing to pitch a fit (and lie about your conduct, no matter how accommodating you try to be). Find some way to fix the machine or placate the implacable, stat!
conversations.prefix: (Baristas) Irate Customer:

conversations.value: A slam poet is baring his soul at the mic, and some asshole in the crowd is making snide comments.
conversations.prefix: What the Heckle?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: One of the open mic performers says something that hits you where it hurts - a story that resonates with you on a primal level, a poetry with a line that breaks your heart, a joke in a stand-up set that cuts you to the bone.
conversations.prefix: In My Feelings:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Ridgeview town green has been temporarily commandeered by a maze of white and black striped  circus tents. The air smells like popcorn and carries squeals of delight and surprise.
conversations.prefix: Ridgeview Carnival:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Kettle corn, chocolate mice with licorice whiskers, fried Oreos, candy apples, corn dogs,  cotton candy in exotic flavors...there isn't much "fresh" or "healthy," but it all smells so tantalizing, and tastes even better.
conversations.prefix: Food Stalls:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If you're feeling parched, refreshment stands are always nearby. Ice cold water and lemonade are on tap to quench your thirst, but the real stars are the hot chocolate, apple cider, and Javawocky's signature coffee blend (available hot or iced).
conversations.prefix: Refreshments:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Shoot hoops, knock over a stack of milk bottles with a baseball, throw darts at a wall of balloons, shoot a water gun at a target to race a monkey up a tree -- and win _fabulous_ prizes!
conversations.prefix: Midway Games:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The acrobat tent is the tallest - close to the entrance and easy to orient yourself by. If you go in, you'll be treated to dozens of death-defying stunts on the trapeze overhead.
conversations.prefix: Acrobat Tent:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's acrobats performing in the big tent, a magic show in another, the ferris wheel, a midway full of little games, wandering artists and mimes, and what feels like miles of black-and-white canvas to get lost in. What strikes your fancy?
conversations.prefix: Fun & Games:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The midway games are fun, and the ferris wheel has a lovely view; out in the sunshine, the carnival is a predictably pleasant way to pass a Saturday afternoon. But inside the tents, you get a sense of something more happening under the surface. The fortune teller, the wishing tree, the labyrinth...it's all a little bit more *personal* than you were expecting. What do you discover as you explore?

conversations.prefix: A Fount of Inspiration:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Wednesday was a disaster, but the same schedule Friday is basically a do-over with the benefit of hindsight. This time through, you rocked it.
