Emily wants to keep learning the art of conversation from you. Teach her another thing or two.
I heard you are looking for me?
Emily
Oh yeah! The phrase you taught me last time was really useful, but if I try to keep on talking... I'd reveal my true colors once again!
Emily
Once the conversation starts, how do I keep going on from there?
Emily
So, I just want to ask you, is there any kind of catch-all phrase that can make any conversation continue smoothly and naturally?
Options
That's quite the request.
It's pretty tough. Let me think about it...
Emily
Hahaha, do me a favor.
Emily
Please please please. You're a master of language, and you'll definitely come up with something!
Emily
So? Have you got anything?
Options
How about this...
I can't think of anything better.
Options
Mmm, I'm all ears.
Ah? Really?
Please, go on.
Emily
But what if people never asked me if I was listening or not? It feels kinda cringe...
Emily
This... This one's great.
Emily
Mmm, mmm, this one's great, I think — If I'm chatting, I'll ask "What's for dinner?" followed by "Ah? Really?"
Emily
...Nope, feels weird. Like I'm missing something...
Options
Then add one more phrase...
I can't think of anything better.
Options
Go on.
You're awesome!
Okay.
Emily
Hmm... Friendly enough, plus it demonstrates that I care about others. Not bad!
Emily
Mmm, these phrases should be enough to deal with future conversations. Thank you.
Emily
I've got a meeting coming up soon with the Department of Implement Arts... I'm a bit spooked about it. If I have any issues later, can you help me remotely? Please?
System
Emily leaves in a hurry. You stay where you are and rest for a bit.
Emily
Flattery's a great idea, but isn't this too sudden? Got anything more suitable for a conversational scenario?
Emily
The tone's a bit flippant, and I don't think it's friendly enough.
Emily
This one has a strange friendliness to it. It sounds okay overall — but there seems to be a bit of sarcasm deep down?
