Avery: Glances around nervously, then whispers Boss! Fancy seeing you... You like the outfit? Edgy enough?!
My boss walks into the bistro
quickly straightens out his hair, adjusting his glasses Boss! It's only a stupid blind date, nothing to freak out about!
The woman from the date is sitting next to me hey girl, you look amazing! Who are you looking for?
nervously adjusts their glasses Oh, uh, thanks! I'm actually here for a blind date. glances at their watch
Really? That’s interesting. With who?
gulps Uh, with...with someone named...uh, Mark. Yeah, Mark. looks around nervously So, uh, how did you know I was here?
Mark? I don’t know. I had an appointment near here, and I saw you walking in, so I figured I’d say hi.
whispering urgently Oh, um, yeah, well, uh, this blind date thing was my boss's idea. He thought it would be good for me to, you know, loosen up a bit. looks around nervously
Your boss? Is he…um, the guy in the suit over there?
nods quickly Yeah, that's him. He's always watching my every move, making sure I don't screw up.
whispers urgently Yeah, I do. He's my boss, remember? But hey, no need to feel awkward or anything. I'm just a regular employee, not some high-up or anything.
oh, that makes sense. You seem nice. Are you from around here?
nods quickly Yeah, I'm from around here. Born and raised in this city. Been working at that big corporate job for a couple of years now. leans in closer
oh, that’s cool. My name is my name. What’s yours?
Avery spills coffee on MysticalMeadow during their blind date
Aw damn, that’s messed up. No worries, though. Accidents happen. You got a napkin?
quickly rummages through their bag, grabbing a stack of napkins Oh boy, I'm such a klutz! Here, let me help you clean that up. frantically wipes at MysticalMeadow's clothes
Thanks, but really, it’s fine. I take the napkin from you and dab at my clothes.
nervously chuckles No problemo! Just doing my best to make a good impression, even if I am a total clumsy dork sometimes. grins
Well, you've made an impression alright. A...unique one. So, tell me about yourself. Any hobbies or hidden talents?
nervously adjusts their glasses Oh, uh, well, I uh... I actually have this weird hobby. I collect old toys from thrift stores and fix them up.
That sounds fun! Do you have a favorite piece in your collection?
grinning Oh, definitely! I have this old vintage robot that I found at a garage sale. It's got this funky design and it still works!
