It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Beauregard Lionett called Beau, a human monk . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, The group heads to the harbor and borrows a rowboat. They send you, pretending to be  Tracy  the Valley Girl, over to two patrolling zolezzo guards and she picks up a conversation with one, Merpal, telling him she's from out of town and wants to see the Sluice Weave while she's here.
DM: From this distance it's too hard to see beneath the water. It gets a little too murky. But he points in a general direction and you get a loose idea of where it may be.
Player: Wow, yeah. Cool.
DM: He's like, "So what are you up to while you're in the city?"
Player: Wow! Yeah, you know, I'm just so busy. You know, just trying to fill my schedule with things. I should probably go now.
DM: "Of course! Where are you staying?"
Player: (forced giggling) I'm staying at the Lavish Chateau!
DM: "Oh, wow! That is a very expensive place."
Player: I know. You probably couldn't afford it, so--
DM: You can see the visible (pained grunt) to his chest. He's like, "Well, perhaps I'll-- If you want other things to see around the city when I'm not on my post, I could maybe come by and give you a little tour?"
Player: Sure, that sounds great!
DM: "Of course. What are you doing right now? I only have about 40 minutes until I get to switch my shift, and then I'm off for the rest of the afternoon."
