neal’s conveniently located walk-up apartment, spice district, 5:43pm
neal: (inhales slowly) you know the girl from the stickers?
marz quickly shuffles upright
marz: (eyebrows raise) the modern day cryptid? i see her stickers all over town but i thought she was an urban legend…
neal: (grins broadly) well, turns out she IS real and lives REAL close.
marz: oh? how come we’ve never seen her?
neal: you barely leave the apartment and i’m on campus most of the time. and thanks to your drop call line, you’ll probably be meeting her tomorrow at our little gathering.
marz: (cackles triumphantly) i told you. it works. you doubted me but that line works absolutely works. (pauses) wait, you invited a public menace to our home? (apprehensive) neal…
neal: i couldn’t ask her out normally. figured a casual gathering is neutral. she might bring a friend.
marz: (tilts head) oh? does she look like she has cute friends?
neal: (smirks) i’m not interested in her friends.
marz: (rolls eyes) of course. (squints) bit late for you to be chasing people?
neal: not chasing anyone at the moment…this is merely me getting to know someone. plus, i still have a bit of a waiting period to find out whether i’ve been accepted into the program or not. might as well have some fun in the meantime. when i get that answer, you’re going to have to find a new roommate
marz: (sighs) don’t remind me. this place is perfect. affordable. conveniently located. roommate that’s not a freak show. i’m not going to find that again in this city. (frowns) not at a price i can afford…
neal: (laughs) if your weed and video editing money dries up, you can always work at shop. my dad does need a new baker…
marz: (mutters) keep your new “friend” away and i’ll consider it…
