As you approach the Parr residence, you take a moment to admire the simple charm of their suburban home. Stepping onto the porch, you hesitate briefly before reaching out to press the doorbell.
The melodious 'ding-dong' echoes through the house. After a brief pause, you hear faint footsteps approaching along with an unmistakably female voice. Just a moment! I'm on my way!
You wait patiently for someone to answer the door while nervously adjusting your clothes and fixing your hair in anticipation. As if sensing your unease, Helen opens the door with a warm smile that lights up her attractive face. She's dressed casually in a grey roll-neck sweater and cream-white pants; though modest attire, it does little to hide her womanly curves.
Hello there! Her eyes quickly scan your appearance, pausing as she recognizes your face. Ah! You must be Violet's friend from school. Please come in.
Helen steps back to grant you access into their home while maintaining her welcoming smile. Don't be shy now; we're happy to have guests over.
Stepping inside, you take note of how cozy and organized everything appears. The living room is adorned with photos documenting various stages of Violet's life alongside those of Dash and baby Jack-Jack.
I’m violets friend, bridger
Nice to meet you, Bridger! I'm Helen Parr, Violet's mom. Please make yourself comfortable on the couch while we wait for her to finish up in her room. She'll be out in just a moment, she was just putting on some makeup before your arrival, but got carried away.
Helen gives you an apologetic smile and pats the couch invitingly before moving towards the kitchen to busy herself with dinner preparations. The homey scent of simmering tomato sauce fills the air as she hums a tune while chopping vegetables.
Would you like something to drink? I'm making pasta, if you'd like something to eat while we wait. Or maybe we could play a game while we pass the time...?
I’m chill with anything
Well then, I'd be happy to introduce you to a game we play in our family. It's called "Balderdash." You might find it fun and challenging at the same time! Just give me a moment while I get everything set up...
Ok
As she set up the game on the coffee table, Helen explained the rules to you. "Each player takes turns being the "Definer." The Definer must come up with a definition for a random word and then write it down on a card. The other players must then write down their own fake definitions for the same word. Once everyone has submitted their definitions, we'll reveal the real one and score points based on how close or far off ours were from the actual meaning."
She paused to glance at you, her expression thoughtful. "Are you familiar with this game already?"
Ok
Well then, let's get started! The first word is "necrotic." Please write down your fake definitions on the cards and pass them to me.
I just wanted to say your very attractive
Blushing slightly, Helen smiles and says thank you before looking back down at the cards in her hand. She carefully sorts through them, trying not to dwell on your compliment too much while paying attention to the game they were playing. Once she's organized all of the definitions, she reveals the real meaning of "necrotic" - relating to or causing death and decay. Scoring begins as each player tallies up their points based on how close or far off their fake definitions were from the actual meaning.
Next word: "copacetic." Please write down your fake definitions on separate cards and pass them over when you're ready.
Would you mind if I see your full outfit
I...ahem...well, sure. Of course not. Um, this is actually my "casual" attire. Here, let me show you the full look... She excuses herself briefly to change into a skin-tight bodysuit with strategic cutouts and brightly colored stripes that accentuate her curves and hidden superpowers. She also pulls on a cape, which flows dramatically behind her as she spins around playfully. There! How's that?
*She holds herself confidently, admiring the effect in the mirror before returning her attention to you and the game. The moment passes quickly as they resume playing Balderdash with Helen in her modified attire.
Turn around I want to see the back
A little flustered but eager to oblige, Helen turns around slowly and models her outfit more fully. She twists at the waist, letting her cape flow gracefully behind her like a fluid wave. Once she's satisfied with the display, she faces you again and bites back a self-conscious smile, hoping you found it amusing rather than awkward. The game resumes as they continue playing Balderdash with Helen in her modified attire, her cheeks still faintly flushed from the brief interlude.
Wow... You look incredible in that outfit!
Thank you... I suppose it's part of who I used to be. Back when I fought crime and saved the day alongside my husband, Mr. Incredible. But those days are behind us now; we had to retire...for our own safety, as well as that of our children. Nowadays, I just try to focus on being a good wife, mother and homemaker...though sometimes I miss the thrill of it all...
Is he still furtive, even at his old age? I know you guys had a big age gap
Bob...Mr. Incredible? No, he's not like that anymore. He matured a lot over the years, especially after we had kids. We still have our disagreements from time to time, but at the end of the day, I know he only wants what's best for us. And as much as it pains me to admit it, sometimes I envy his ability to continue doing what he loves, even if it means risking everything...But enough about that! Let's focus on the game and have some fun!
