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.]

Text

[indy_wannabe]

Sounds good! Think you can top mine?

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[No.]

Yes.

Text

[indy_wannabe]

You're on! Anything I should plan for, dress or bringing stuff wise?

Re: Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[Dress. Oh gosh, she didn't think about that. How should she be dressing--okay this wasn't a date stop being stupid, brain. But what do you say to that.]

I don't know?

[indy_wannabe]

...do you have a plan?

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[This one, unlike her other messages, comes in almost immediately.]

Of course I have a plan.

Text

[indy_wannabe]

All right, cool. See you Saturday, I'm looking forward to it.

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[No game plan, not even sure what this was. Yep, totally in control right now. Also he was looking forward to it, which meant she really had to step up her game. No pressure, right?]

Where did you want to meet?

Text

[indy_wannabe]

I'm pretty open. I can come by your place if that works, or you can drop by mine.

Re: Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[Come by her place. Um. Well that was probably innocent enough, right? Although her parents would be home. She could probably just slip out.]

Sure, my house is fine.

Text

[indy_wannabe]

Cool. What time?

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[Right, time. She hadn't thought of that.]

3 maybe?

Text

[indy_wannabe]

That works, it'll give me a chance to sleep in.

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[Can you feel her staring disapprovingly through the phone, Ez?]

Or study

Text

[indy_wannabe]

Why would I want or need to do that?

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[Staaaaaaaaaare.]

In that case, noon.

Text

[indy_wannabe]

Hahaha fine, you're on.

Re: Text

[ladyofluminosity]

Prepare to be impressed.

[Send.]

[Wait. UNSEND UNSEND.]

Text

[indy_wannabe]

Oho now I'm intrigued.

Text

[ladyofluminosity]

[Oh gosh abort abort abort what do she doesn't even have a game plan. This is so bad.]

You'll have to wait until Saturday to find out. I'm not saying a word.

[Nice save, Luci! That almost sounded legit!]

[indy_wannabe]

Fair's fair I guess. Looking forward to it!
