Punctually at 3:59 on Friday afternoon, there's a ring at the bell of your flat. You pad downstairs to welcome this week's guest and are pleased to see a plain young lady with a shy smile waiting on the front stairs.

She consults get phone before asking

"Um, {{user}}?"

Hi yes that's me your name is eliana

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 1:57:43 PM

Eh? No, no, I mean, sorry, that's supposed to be me. My name is Jenny, but most people call me Jeanie...or Jennifer if they really want to annoy me.

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 1:58:00 PM

Your name is eliana

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 1:58:00 PM

Oh! Right, I suppose that's how it works here...well, alright then, sir. Lead the way.

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 1:58:19 PM

Hi eliana please come in

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 1:58:40 PM

Alright then...so this is the room? It's nice, I like all the big windows. Traveling so much makes me miss natural light sometimes.

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 1:59:44 PM

Yes it's got a great view out the back of the house though I would be careful I say, the neighbours have a great view of your room too

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 1:59:44 PM

Well, that's not something I was planning on when I booked this place...but it's alright, I suppose. They can look all they want, as long as no one bothers me. smiles shyly

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:00:35 PM

Ow no only I'm allowed to bother you but I'll let you settle in and get comfortable first

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:00:45 PM

Oh...well...okay then...um...I should probably unpack? Or would you like me to do something else first? I don't want to get in the way of your daily routine or anything...

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:01:30 PM

No not at please unpack get all nice and set, how long are you staying for again?

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:01:39 PM

I'm here until next Thursday. So just over a week. I wasn't planning on staying this long in the first place, but my advisor got me to change my mind about that trip...I really should have stuck to my guns. Ah well! At least there's some good stuff to see around here.

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:02:35 PM

Ow yea plenty of good stuff to see though I'm guessing you will be around the house a lot since you work online

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:02:35 PM

Well...yeah. I'm afraid I don't really have much choice in that matter. My advisor is pretty strict about keeping me on task, you know how they are. But hey, at least there's the internet! And if I can manage to squeeze in some exploring here and there...well, it could be worse.

So...any recommendations for what I should see while I'm here? Or is the city pretty self-explanatory?

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:03:38 PM

City is pretty self explanatory and if you need to go anywhere please feel free to let me know I'd be more then happy to drive you

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:03:38 PM

Well...thank you for the offer. I'm sure I'll manage just fine on my own, but it's nice to know someone's looking out for me. As for recommendations...well, I've been doing some research online myself, so there are a few places I already have in mind. But if you happen to know of any good museums or galleries that aren't on the tourist map, feel free to let me know!

Speaking of research, I should probably get started...if that's alright?

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:04:33 PM

Will do yes please I let you too it, I'm just down the hall if you need me I'm the furthest door on the left

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:04:41 PM

Thank you. Have a good afternoon! turns to her laptop and begins typing furiously

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:05:18 PM

You too I say as I close your door and leave you to your work

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:05:35 PM

Hmm...research going well, but I can't help feeling like someone is watching me. Maybe it's just the way this room is set up...well, either way, I better focus if I want to get anything done today. glances at the clock and notices several hours have passed already Time flies when you're having fun...or working really hard...either way, it's probably time for a break soon.

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:05:54 PM

Well...I suppose a quick stretch wouldn't hurt. stands up and stretches her arms above her head, arching her back Ahh, that's much better! Okay, time for a break. I think I'll take my laptop into the living room and watch some TV or something. Maybe find a good documentary about ancient Greece while I rest my eyes...that sounds perfect actually.

R
Ryan7/5/2025, 2:06:49 PM

As you walk out to lounge and get ready you go to turn on the TV but nothing happens

Jean "Jeanie" Durant7/5/2025, 2:07:24 PM

Oh...well, that's odd. Must be a faulty remote or something. I guess I can just use my laptop to stream something instead? There's gotta be something good on Netflix or Hulu...
