I need some ideas on where to take someone that's unique and interesting around the city. The person is a bit difficult to impress, so it should be something different, maybe something you wouldn't think of right away. Something Old is already on my list, but he's probably already been there so I don't know. Most of the places I go are kind of boring. I know there are some old bookstores tucked away around here, and I've considered those too, but those aren't really impressive either. I'm trying to go for something... different.

Any ideas would be great, I need them quick. I may have gotten in a little over my head here. Oh, and places to eat, I kind of still owe him lunch too, I guess.


[Private to Brooke; text to phone]

Sorry to text you out of the blue, but I think I might need some advice on something.


[Private to Ez; text to phone]

[Well, she was going to call him originally, but she just kind of sat there like an idiot looking at her phone. So, instead of making a total fool of herself, have a text. A very well thought-out text, that took her a long time to construct.]

What are you doing Saturday?

[A very long time.]

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

My grounding is done after Thursday and I want to take you o

[Erase. What is that even.]

Well I thought if you were free we could

[Haha no.]

I'm free too.

[Sure, let's go with that one. Send.]

[indy_wannabe]

[Uhh... huh...]

Did you want to go out somewhere?

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

I think I still owe you

[No no no would get taken the wrong way. FRIENDS HERE. Think first, stupid. There's a pause between her next text.]

We still have a bet going. It's my turn to take you out.

[Eraaaaasing that last part and send.]

[chalicejoker]

I can help you out on the places to eat front if you want Japanese food.

[This will be the most unbiased recommendation ever, right? Right. His restaurant is the best. That is a fact. Therefore, no bias.]

[Voice]

[ladyofluminosity]

Well, I've never really had Japanese food before, so I don't know... The whole point of this is to prove a point.

[Voice]

[chalicejoker]

We're going to be on one of those restaurant shows on the Travel Channel in a couple of months, if that counts for anything impressive.

[Hajime's pride in this restaurant is palpable.]

There's no better place to start than Aikawa's if you want to try Japanese food for the first time and to impress your friend.

[Voice]

[ladyofluminosity]

Hmm, I don't know if that would be a good idea in this situation, since I'm trying to appear like I actually know what I'm doing. I don't even know what Japanese food would be. Sushi maybe? I don't even know how to use chopsticks.

[Voice]

[originaloddcouple]

[They chose voice at the moment because WOW they are blushing up a storm.]

You... think our place is unique and interesting?

Heh heh, you really think so?

[Voice]

[ladyofluminosity]

[Well, it was probably okay for her to use voice. She was getting let off a day early due to good behavior.]

Well yeah, I thought I said so the last time I was in. Besides, I think it's a place he would like, even if he might have been there before.

[Voice]

[originaloddcouple]

[YEP, DEFINITE BLUSHING AND AWKWARD RUBBING OF THE BACK OF THE NECK.]

Heh heh. That's pretty nice to, uh, say!

You're pretty awesome and nice!

[Voice]

[ladyofluminosity]

[She smiles.]

No way, I'm plain and boring. I'm doing all that I can to figure out ways of how to impress this person and am coming up short.

[mood2wiingiing]

what doe2 he like two do? or eat? or anything?

text

[ladyofluminosity]

He likes more exotic things, but I told him that I would show him a bit of what I know. I just realized that what I know is actually not very impressive. I'm kind of boring.

Re: text

[mood2wiingiing]

lol oops. shouldnt have 2aid that then it sounds like lmao.
iidk what two suggest really im probably kind of boring two.
id 2ay just an arcade or something if that2 interestiing? but i dont think it is two most people.
me and ariia went two this stupid pizza place that was really for kid2 but might be weird enough two count.
think chuck e cheese but space themed lol.

[ladyofluminosity]

That doesn't sound quite right, he'd suspect I got outside help. I've never really been to an arcade before.

Chuck E Cheese but space? No, not that kind of weird (is that even weird). He likes caves and old places and things like that. You know. Exotic. I wanted to find some kind of old book store or something like that, since that's something we'd both like, but I'm not finding anything that looks interesting that isn't outside of Locke City.

Don't worry about it, Luce. What's up?

text;

[ladyofluminosity]

I need you to help me be cool like you. Immediately.

text;

[somesayinfire]

Step one, don't study mortuary science, because nobody thinks morticians are cool. You're pretty cool already. Why do you need to be cooler?

text;

[ladyofluminosity]

No danger there? No offense.

Ez and I are going out on Saturday and I may have told him that I was going to show him how cool I am. And that the things I do are much better than what he does. But then I realized, I just sit at home and read all the time, so I don't actually know any fun things to do around town.

text; forward-dated to saturday, evening

[ladyofluminosity]

[Brooke, you have a text!]

You were right. You can start teasing me now.

text; forward-dated to saturday, evening

[somesayinfire]

Not saying I called it but I totally called it. Did you guys kiss? Spill all the beans you're comfortable with.

( audio )

[argents]

I know the city pretty well, so I can probably help out. What sorts of places have you already decided won't work? 'Normal' is kind of... relative, lately.

( audio )

[ladyofluminosity]

[BLESS. BANAGHER YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. Hopefully you're a cool kid too, she kind of needs help in that department. A lot.]

Well, anything that seems kind of weird for me to take someone. So, the arcade, anything particularly dangerous...

[Fun things, basically.]

Also places that high schoolers could get into or afford. That would be a big help.

[argents]

[ THAT YOU MIGHT BE ON YOUR OWN WITH, FRIEND. ]

You're in over your head because you want to make it seem like your own suggestion?

[ It's more trying to get a good handle on the situation than a jab. ]

How about the Historic District? It's downtown, and that way you won't be limited to just one place.
