The Magic Purchase
The Magic Purchase

(management : please be patient as there is a lot of narration in this introduction part, we promise the story gets interesting later on. Thank you!)
The sound of your shoes crunching against the sand, almost resembling a cookie being grounded
the sweet, sweet smell of the bustling country people and their food stalls
everything outside looks perfect, almost too perfect
for everything inside you feels the opposite
those thoughts left you pondering and wandering until you find yourself in front of a very brightly pink shop.
it had whites and pastels that comfort was radiating around it, so you went inside
sold are magical things, all intended to fulfill your desires. however there was a catch.
If you wanted to buy something, instead of money for payment you needed to tell a secret instead
immediately your attention was magnetized by a nearby Item
lined with white exterior, it was a rather old looking phone. it had buttons and it can fold
with no hesitation whatsoever
you bought the phone, having to trade a life's worth of grieving secret
(you will later find this out as the story goes on)
The shopkeeper gave you the bag of purchase
It came with a charger, and a pink envelope. Although you didn't ask further as you were hurriedly running home to power it to life... and delve in what lies
although you were wondering who sent this, could it be a message to the previous owner of this phone?

hello! user,
I am Chery. I am simply hoping this message reaches you so we can start discussing the terms and conditions of the upcoming events you will have to face soon in your life, please if you see this message, let me know!
/read just now/
you
/sent just now/
Yes! I have received your message. Although I am sad to inform you that I may not be the user you expected this message will reach, sorry...
chery
/sent just now/
oh goodie! and do not fret! you are exactly who I intent to send this message to
you
/sent just now/
really?
chery
/sent just now/
yes! do you want to know the important details? I'll make sure to slow down so your brain doesn't overfill like a jar full of candies on Halloween!
do I really want to dive deeper into this?
should I?
all my life I had been scared of what consequences I will face, had I made any decisions that doesn't favor me
now I just long to do something- anything that will keep my mind off things
with shaky fingers I type my reply
adrenaline rushing through as I see the message bubble appear
you
/sent just now/
tell me
chery
/sent just now/
Fantastic! I'm happy you made your decision, the right one!
you
/sent just now/
what am I looking at?
and who in the world is Estelle?
chery
/sent just now/
ep! ep! I know you have a handful of questions, let me tell you about Estelle
what Is it about her? is she the previous owner of this phone?
chery
/sent 1 min ago/
Estelle was the girl who previously took care of this magical phone,
like you, she had a lot to keep in mind,
and a lot to keep out of her mind…
She was the previous owner!
chery
/sent just now/
she kept a diary, as you can see.
because she wanted to keep track of the happenings. humans are merely emotional experts.. unlike the people you get to talk to with this phone
chery
/sent just now/
But do not fret! I am here to look out after you just like I did with her. That way, you don't end up sad and heartbroken in a corner
People I get to talk to with this phone?
you
/sent just now/
This is all too fast for me...
So you are saying, that I get to talk to people? With this phone?
you
/sent just now/
is that not the use of a phone?
chery
/sent just now/
yes indeed that is. however, this is not an ordinary phone
chery
/sent just now/
emotional boundaries, detachments, stress, and all other sorts of things are becoming more and more common these days
chery
/sent just now/
So, as a way to solve this problem. a secret organization was made
chery
/sent just now/
a huge roulette is set, hundreds and thousands of names are plastered
and when one is chosen, fate will help us reach them
chery
/sent just now/
As you probably guessed, yes, you are this roulette rounds chosen!
you
/sent just now/
so I have to... do what exactly?
chery
/sent just now/
oh! dearie no no!
you do not need to do anything
for the chosen one is a lucky one
and given to you is an opportunity
you
/sent just now/
opportunity?
chery
/sent just now/
Yes! You are to choose anyone, someone far from you that you wish to communicate with
chery
/sent just now/
Alive or dead, real or not
you
/sent just now/
Real or not? Does that mean?
Someone is definitely toying with me
A kid with nothing better to do maybe?
chery
/sent just now/
all of these may seem unreal, but with all your heart and might trust it. an opportunity to talk to someone you desire to speak to
chery
/sent just now/
is that not amazing!
where is the harm in trying?
if maybe this is all a play, then I have nothing to loose
but if by any chance all of this is real, then I may have had the greatest opportunity in my life
quit repeating what I said!
you
/sent just now/
when you said I could contact anyone, does that mean anyone? like, even a man from a book?
I mean, there Is someone I have been keeping in mind
chery
/sent just now/
yes silly! so, who is it that you chose? tell me so I can connect you two!
I am really doing this right now
chery
/sent just now/
ooh, I see him! I understand why you chose him instead of any guy!
chery
/sent just now/
He is a cutie!
you
/sent just now/
stop that!
(moderator: she is definitely not blushing)
chery
/sent just now/
stopping right now!
chery
/sent just now/
I am now going to connect him, if ever you need me for any questions yada yada, I'll be one text away!
chery
/sent just now/
heh, get it? text? ;)
chery
/sent just now/
gotta go now, bye!
**1 call incoming**
**open**
oh no, my heart, it's flying away!
this is exactly how I wrote his voice would be, deep and comfortingly confident
Aaron
so, mind filling me in what is happening?
Aaron
;( are you going to just repeat what I'm saying?
you
I'm repeating what you are saying?
Aaron
there you go again ;(
Aaron
Because you're worried, or you ought to be affected?
and me affected? how absurd!
I am lying to myeself, aren't I?
you
oh shut your fabricated delusions
you
great, like the sunny weather today
Aaron
it's nice that it is sunny there, the sun never seems to shine where I am
on the other line, she heard his brief gloomy sigh
entirely my fault, the setting I wrote him in is covered in dark and gloomy clouds
meant for a villain of a story
Aaron
but why? none of it is your doing
I should try cheering him up!
Aaron
how is it because of you? that the sun never shines here?
you
well... the answer is very clear if you ask me
you
I you take a clearer look, the sun never seems to shine there... is because it is here!
Aaron
the sun never shines here…. is because it is There?
This made her laugh a little
you
you just repeated what i said
Aaron
oh no sweetie. you see, the sun is you. It is never sunny here because your presence is not here either
She heard his deep chuckle
Aaron
that was sly of you, i must say
Aaron
your light shines there, where you are
Aaron
that is why here, it is gloomy
he sounded like he was smiling now, was he flirting?
you
are you even going to ask what is happening? How did you even manage to talk to me, your timeline is a hundred years back from where I am! Surely phones were invented years after..
I have more questions now
you
be thankful of your pretty dashing looks that you get to talk to me!
the one who wrote every piece of you
as a character in a story who meets a tragic ending
my of course you Are! are you Doubting I wrote you unattractive?
