17 culpepper house, san myshuno 8:51am
karlie: (laughs) well, the date could have gone better. there was this weird energy in the air. he seemed sorta scripted like he wasn’t himself.
mitzi: oh?
karlie: yeah he asked me a lot of canned questions like my hobbies, my job, what music i like, etc. boring stuff. i couldn’t take it anymore so i got us some shots. and (shrugs) then he started loosening up.
mitzi: (shakes head) you got this poor sap drunk
karlie: (rolls eyes) i did not. he was tipsy though.
i think he just indulged me to be polite. (annoyed) i was just bored to tears and didn’t want to talk about game of llamas or whatever.
mitzi: (lip quivers) what’s wrong with game of llamas?
karlie: it’s a renaissance faire soap opera. you roast me for watching dr rosemary, but at least all the freaks on that show are real.
mitzi: (scoffs) like that’s a reason to watch….what else did you do?
karlie: well, i uh told him my feelings on the simulation and how we’re all –
mitzi: karlie no. (face drops) why are you telling that to any old person? he probably thinks you’re insane!
karlie: if he did, he would have left me at the bar. he didn’t. so this tells me he’s a good listener…and sweet.
mitzi: so the date was ok after that?
karlie: yeah, i mean, after i woke up from my nap (mitzi shakes her head) we went downstairs and he ran into a couple of his friends. one of them came with us and bought us mcdonalds. it was nice but um…strange.
mitzi: (stares) he…he had his friend join your date? and he paid for your food? that’s…weird…
karlie: yeah. his friend is um nice but it was awkward. we left and started walking back to my place.
mitzi: (leans forward) and?
karlie: and nothing…i had to kiss him to end this date. he was completely caught by surprised. although, (smiles) it was cute watching him blush with that big old bushy beard.
mitzi: beard? give me a visual. i’m picturing a hipster father winter….
karlie: (smirks) you’re not far off. (pauses) wait, i haven’t showed him to you?
mitzi:
no, we completely glossed over all that.
probably for plot reasons.
karlie sets her mug down and pulls her phone out of her blazer pocket. she quickly scrolls to russ’s profile and shows mitzi
mitzi: alright let’s see what we’re dealing with— oh…(gasps)
mitzi eyes widen as she looks at karlie’s screen. she snatches the phone from karlie’s hand to get a closer look…
mitzi: (surprised) r-ruffles?!
