I like proofreading. Feel free to request proofreading services.

I don't have much to say about myself, so you'll have to read these proverbs instead. From them you can either attempt to glean something about my psychological condition, or just marvel at their wit.

Whatever works for you.

Wise Sayings

'Reach for the stars... and you'll get burned.'

'If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's not for you.'

'Great minds think alike but fools rarely differ.'

'Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.'

'Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato-based fruit salad.' - a simple explanation of DnD stats

'If you tell a man that there are 360 billion stars in the sky he'll believe you, but tell him that there's wet paint and he just has to touch it.'

'I think, therefore I am dangerous.'

'Time is like money - you don't want to know that you've wasted it.'

When Rock Meets Watermelon

You, a human mage with little to no reputation (who needs that anyway), are friends with an elf from Summer called Cocoa Lire. You (for some mysterious reason) call her Watermelon.

However, you learn that she is having an affair with a human commander called Jael Rock, which is disastrous for a whole host of reasons:

Too many to list here (but you get the idea)

Your solution? Convince them to end the relationship!

However, a small problem called 'true love' may make this harder than you think...

WARNING: Contains sadistic goats, holy cucumbers, and a whole lot of other things that may cause heinous offence. You have been warned.

There are seven 'endings' to reach. If you like that kind of thing.

Written for EndMaster's Prompt Contest 2.

Prompt 35: 'A story where you must save someone close to you from a disastrous relationship.'
