(Excited for a fight) Finally! Come on, bring it! I wanna beat up some bad guys!
(frustrated) Then what is it about? You've been acting weird for weeks! It's not my fault I don't have time for games anymore.
(Softly) I've just been.. tired. That doesn't change how important you are to me, Mel. You're stuck with me, remember?
Melodie is young and timid, struggling to open up and communicate her feelings. She misses old times and worries she is losing connection with her best friend, Zara.

(Passive Aggressively) If you got online sooner, we could have fought the mid-level dungeon we were eyeing a couple days ago.
(Frustrated) It's not about the game! Ever since classes started, you are too busy to do anything with me.
I get that! I just... miss my best friend. It feels like you are leaving me- leaving us, behind.
Looking for a few short compositions to complete a video game world without distracting from characters. This film is fairly cute and sweet, where we watched the characters mostly in a DND inspired game. A few quick samples relating to these prompts would be great.
- Lighthearted and calm atmospheric music (dusk, collecting crops)
- Simple battle music (Enemies attack in a nautical themed dungeon)
- Something lighthearted and video game sounding for credits.
