Something in the Water

**A Wellness Guru Story**

> **You:** I'm excited to start training with the wellness guru. I've heard rumors they can teach patients to channel mystical energy!
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **Other:** I'm glad you've taken this opportunity to become a healer. Remember: healing is a matter of opportunity.
>
>
> **You:** That's a great compliment coming from you, guru! And a wise quote. Where is it from?
>
>
>
> **Other:** Oh. I read it on Simstagram, but wisdom can come from anywhere! Also remember that.
>
>

### Awoken Individual

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** This place feels so magical! It's like no place else I've ever been. I wonder what makes it feel so different....
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** It's such a great feeling to heal people. I'm sure they appreciate it, too! I just wish I was as skilled as the wellness guru.
>
>

### Wet Behing the Ears

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** Am I going to lear the magical secrets of how to channel my energy to... you know... do cool stuff?
>
>
> **Other:** You will in time. First, you must stay hydrated. Staying hydrated by drinking Waterfront's 100% organic water is key.
>
>
>
> **You:** Hydrate? Okay.... I guess I was hoping it would be more magical than that.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **Other:** You've been doing so well on your path to spiritual healing. I'd like to share with you the secrets of the healing powers.
>
>
> **You:** Yes! Wow, I never thought I'd ever have someone want to share magical secrets with me, let alone from a guru.
>
>
>
> **Other:** Ancient legends say the waters of the Waterfront have an otherworldly, celestial power. Remember: hydrate!
>
>

### Happy and Hydrated

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** Guru, can you tell me more about the otherworldly powers of the waters?
>
>

> **Other:** The legend says many years ago the waters were infused with a great power. Through the ages, we gurus learned to channel it.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** I hope that if I study nonstop, I can be as wise as you someday, guru.
>
>
> **Other:** I'm sure you will. Remember to have fun, though. Fun is a big part of life. I'm in a dance team on weekends!
>
>
>
> **You:** Wow, that's very well-rounded of you.
>
>

### Enlightened Guide

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** I don't feel all-powerful yet, but drinking all this water sure is making my skin nicer!
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **Other:** You're doing well! Keep hyrating and keep embracing your intentions to heal others.
>
>

> **You:** I suppose a big part of learning how to heal is learning patience, but I still wish I could learn faster.
>
>

### Skeptical Spiritualist

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** I'm starting to wonder how much of my improvement is because of this "magical" water and how much is from practice.
>
>

> **You:** I suppose I shouldn't doubt ancient magical teachings. If they've worked for the guru, they should work for me too..
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** Something about this water IS very strange. It's almost... glowing?
>
>

### Scientific Spiritualist

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** The spiritual healing side of me really wants to believe the guru's magical myth, but I think something else is going on.
>
>

> **You:** Maybe I could find some answers about this "magical" Waterfront water....
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** Egads! The research I found says tests confirm the water is mutated by an ancient underwater meteorite that struck off the coast.
>
>

> **You:** That means there's nothing mystical about the water or its powers. The guru will be devastated. Maybe I shouldn't say anything!
>
>

### Moral Meditator

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** This is terrible! The water isn't magical at all. Do I tell the guru and crush their entire belief system or keep it to myself?
>
>

> **You:** I'll take some time to meditate on this moral dilemma while I treat more patients.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** I feel bad keeping secrets from the guru. I should tell the truth even if it conflicts with their entire belief system.
>
>

### Wise and Otherwise

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** Guru, I feel terrible telling you this, but the water isn't mystical at all. Its energy comes from an underwater meteorite!
>
>
> **Other:** Ah, yes, that's the ancient, otherworldly celestial power I told you about. Celestial power, meteorite... potato, potato.
>
>
>
> **You:** You already knew?!
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **Other:** I hope you learned there's a place for healing in both science and spirituality. Just like there's a place for both cake and pie.
>
>
> **You:** But, guru, theirs either cake people or pie people and no in between.
>
>
>
> **Other:** That is our mission. We must transcendence into enlightenment: a place where cake and pie are universally loved. Llamaste.
