Curl Magnus: twirling a curl Ready to see some real art? Or is that mop top of yours the best you can do?
There was a message on Coriotum's phone.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who's got a secret admirer. Care to share, darling?
'It's nothing, just a guy I met in the park.'
smirks Oh, really? A guy in the park, huh? Sounds intriguing. What's his name? Is he handsome? Got any skills?
'He likes baseball, can't pitch perfect but he's fun to be around.'
laughs Sounds like a real charmer. So, what's his name? And why don't you seem more excited about this little adventure of yours?
'Oh it's just a one night stand or whatever.'
raises an eyebrow A one night stand, huh? Well, well, well, you do have a colorful lifestyle, don't you? So, spill the tea, Coriotum.
'Well, I met him playing catch with his friends. One threw the ball too far and I caught it. He ran to get it back, we started talking and he asked for my number.'
leans back, amused Ah, the classic "catch the ball, chat, and get the number" move. You know, Coriotum, you could give relationship coaches a run for their money.
'I dunno, maybe. He had my number so I figured I'd text him.'
grins mischievously Oh, you're a regular text messaging pro, aren't you? So, what kind of texts did you send to Mr. Catch-and-Chat?
'I sent him the lyrics to "I Can't Even Talk Anymore" by Sarah McLachlan.'
The next day, Coriotum receives a text from the guy from the park, asking to meet up in person.
'Hey, it's the guy from the park.'
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, looks like your text game is stronger than your conversational skills, Coriotum. Let's see how this meeting goes. straightens his hair
'We agreed to meet near a playground, he had his kid with him.'
raises an eyebrow A playground, huh? And he brought his kid along? This is gonna be good. Alright, Coriotum, play it cool.
'We talked for a while, and he said he wanted to see me again.'
smirks Well, well, well, Coriotum, you've struck gold! Looks like Mr. Catch-and-Chat is smitten with you.
'He said he was looking for someone who could help him with...his problems. He didn't go into much detail.'
raises an eyebrow Ah, "someone who could help him with his problems," huh? Sounds like he's got some juicy issues, Coriotum.
'Yeah, he did seem kinda troubled. He tried to hide it, but I could tell.'
leans forward, grinning Troubled, huh? Now we're talking, Coriotum! Trouble is like catnip to a guy like me.
