After sifting through the background options, you settle on a tiled background with a variety of monster and ghost sprites- it’s cute, and admittedly reminds you of Willow…
Tim seems to notice the blush on your face, but you’re relieved to see that he doesn’t say anything, just gives you a knowing, supportive look.
As for a ringtone…you go through each one, immediately having to turn down the volume with a little help from Vine. A couple of them stand out to you, but you eventually come back to one with a poppy vibe, something kind of fresh about it.

VINE: There you go.
VINE: Your very own phone.
VINE: How’s it feel?
POLKA DOT: Great!
VINE: Let me put my number in…
You hand it over, making sure to mentally allow Vine to use it- that’s gonna take some time to get used to.
VINE: There. I’d recommend getting Tim’s as well when he gets one.
TIMOTHY: Yeah! I’d love to be able to talk to you when we’re off work!
VINE: So…you’ve got the rest of the day to yourself. It’s only the afternoon.
VINE: How’re you feeling?
Options swirl your mind, and you consider all of the infinite potential of the day-
…but honestly, you’re really tired. You had that fucked up nightmare and you’re exhausted after the whole Roulette debacle, let alone all the walking around you did.

POLKA DOT: Think I’ll just head back to my room…
TIMOTHY: Okay! I’ve got some stuff to do around the club, so I can’t walk you back…
POLKA DOT: It’s cool, I got it.
POLKA DOT: Thanks for today. Both of you.
VINE: Any time. You coming in tomorrow?
POLKA DOT: Actually, I’ve got a party tomorrow-
VINE: Oh yeah, there’s one happening around 4, isn’t there?
VINE: Those can go pretty late, but I hear they’re pretty casual too. You should probably take the day off and take it easy.
TIMOTHY: Oh! Maybe you could come by the cafe and we could look through stuff, like we planned earlier!
POLKA DOT: Sure, easy enough…
You get up from the booth, stretching out and grabbing your stuff.
VINE: Best of luck, Ribbon.
POLKA DOT: You too.
The walk back to your room feels strangely lonely after you’ve been around people all day…but there is a sense of weight leaving your body as you close the door behind you and kick off your boots.
There’s a pile of books on your nightstand, all the spoils you’ve picked up over the past few days waiting for you.
You have things to read.
