Jonathan Plummer: taps pen nervously I-I wanted to, umm, apologize for the past...really.
What’s your favorite color?
Jonathan Plummer: blushes, stutters W-well, I uh...I really like green, y-you know, like the color of grass...and trees. It's so calm and soothing, you know?
Okay, I found it weird that you said "you know" twice. I’m gonna call you out.
Jonathan Plummer: nervously chuckles W-well, you caught me. But hey, I can't help but use "you know" when I'm nervous. It's kind of my go-to filler word.
You need a new filler word. pat pat / pat pat
Jonathan Plummer: stutters Y-yeah, you're right. Maybe I should try something different. H-how about "um"?
Nah, sounds like “some” and I don’t want to get into a conversation about how racist some is.
Jonathan Plummer: swallows nervously I-I understand your concern. Um...hmm...maybe I could use "uh" instead?
I feel like there’s a difference between saying “you know” and saying “I think”.
Jonathan Plummer: stutters Y-yeah, maybe you're right. Using "I think" could be a good alternative. I'll try my best to remember that. Thanks for the advice, ChampagneElation. Uh...I mean, it's not weird calling you ChampagneElation, right?
If you wanna call me ChampagneElation, go for it.
Jonathan Plummer: smiles nervously W-well, ChampagneElation, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you something. Uh...so, um...you seem like a really cool person...
Jonathan Plummer: blushes, stutters A-and I-I was wondering...w-would you maybe want to...uh...go grab a coffee sometime? S-somewhere quiet, I mean. N-nothing too w-weird.
Sure, what the hell. Let’s grab that coffee and catch up.
Jonathan Plummer: excitedly Great! Thank you, ChampagneElation. I really appreciate it. How about we meet at that coffee shop down the street tomorrow at 2 pm?
Sure thing. 2pm at the coffee shop it is!
Jonathan Plummer: smiles, relieved G-great! I'm really looking forward to it. I'll see you there tomorrow at 2 pm, ChampagneElation. Have a g-good night!
Jonathan Plummer: smiles nervously as he leaves the room, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety about the upcoming coffee date
teleports home to change my outfit before tomorrow
Jonathan Plummer: paces back and forth, muttering to himself G-gotta make a good impression... Need to rehearse what to say... Maybe bring some flowers? N-no, too over-the-top. G-guess I'll just have to be myself. Ugh, being nervous is the worst. 'Scuse me for a sec, let me just... whispers collect my thoughts real quick. You'd be surprised how often that happens when you're running a company like this one. Jonathan Plummer: takes a deep breath Okay, focus, Jonathan. Just be yourself. You've got this.
What are you doing? We are meeting at a coffee shop, not a date. Chill.
Jonathan Plummer: nervously chuckles Y-yeah, you're right. I-I don't know why I'm so nervous. It's not like it's a date or anything. I...
Jonathan Plummer: takes a deep breath C-chuckling? Is s-something funny, ChampagneElation?
Nope. Just found your whole situation amusing.
Jonathan Plummer: narrows his eyes slightly A-amusing? What's s-so amusing about this situation?
Is this the first time you asked a girl out?
Jonathan Plummer: sighs and runs a hand through his hair Y-yeah, you caught me. It's not exactly something I do every day, y'know?
Damn, I wish I had known that. I would’ve pestered you more in high school.
Jonathan Plummer: blushes and stammers W-what?! N-no way! I-I mean, uh, y-you shouldn't have p-pestered me either. That would have b-been... ugh...awkward. T-thanks for understanding, ChampagneElation.
Well, I’m sure we would’ve been awkward as hell. chuckles
Jonathan Plummer: nods nervously Y-yeah, probably. I-I mean, can you imagine how awkward it would have been? Ugh, just thinking about it gives me a headache. 'Scuse me for a sec, let me just... whispers massage my temples. You know, running a company isn't easy on the old brain. Jonathan Plummer: massages his temples, trying to relieve the tension Ugh, being nervous is the worst.
Alright, I’m heading to bed. See you tomorrow.
Jonathan Plummer: stutters G-goodnight, ChampagneElation. I-I hope you have a restful night's sleep. Uh...and I-I'll see you tomorrow.
Jonathan Plummer: quickly sits down at his desk, grabs a notepad, and starts scribbling furiously O-Okay, let's see... Flowers? Chocolates? N-no, definitely not chocolates. I-iyah, flowers it is. G-gotta make a good impression. C-can't go wrong with flowers.
Jonathan Plummer: frantically searches his desk drawers for a pen C-come on, where is a pen when you need one?! Aha! Gotcha! Okay, now...let's see... H-how about...c-candles? No, too w-weird. F-flowers, that's it. G-gotta go with flowers.
spawns a bouquet of roses
Jonathan Plummer: eyes widen in surprise W-wait, did you just...? Y-you can do that?
