What would you do?

Nice artstyle. Not the kind you see here usually! Like a flat airbrushed look.

She's got a super flowy scarf.

Anyway, you seem like a Kyle Thomas to me.

Kyle: “Yeah, right, this is Kyle. At least, I think that’s my name…”

Milicent: “Why are you calling this late? Or at all for that matter, I haven’t heard from you in years.”

Kyle: “Well, I was just thinking…”

Milicent: ”Drinking, you mean to say.”

Kyle: “What? Yeah… I mean, no, thinking about you, and how much fun we used to have, and how much I liked spending time with you. You were the only good thing in my life, and I want you in my life again. I always, well… liked you… a lot. And just never had the courage to tell you, but now I do, for some reason… I’m thinking out loud again… I just told you didn’t I?”

Milicent: “I always liked you too! I just never thought you were interested, you know, with the way you acted. I just wish you had told me sooner. Before I met the horrible, lying, cheating, scum of a guy that I was with for awhile. I mean, he seemed nice at first, but that was all a lie, like everything about him. It got so bad I’d have sold my soul to make it stop. "




Milicent: "But you don’t want to hear about all that, and he’s gone now anyway. You want to hang out tomorrow?”




Kyle: “What? Oh, hang out? That’d be awesome!”
Now where should I take her…

>Don't listen to Shadow Milicent, she's only after your chaos emeralds

Kyle: “Why’d I just think of that all of a sudden? Although, her hair does look a bit like that…
        hmm… I shouldn’t have drank so much, I am so hung over…”



Kyle: “I wonder what she likes to do now, it’s been so long since I’ve seen her. I know she
        liked to skateboard before, but I’m horrible at it… I think I should take her to the diner,
        that’s what people do on dates right? Go out to eat, talk, catch up. I don’t have any money
        though, I spent it all on these now worthless beer cans, I don’t even have a job anymore...
        I do have a few hours though before our date.”

Kyle: “I should probably find something nice to wear too, the suit I got for job interviews could work.”



Kyle: "Now should I do anything else before my date?"

Write a poem. Girls love poems. Probably.

You decide to recycle the beer cans and any empty soda cans you have around the house to get some money. The gas tank on your car is mostly full, but you decide to walk and save the money, plus the walk could help you relax. The suit you are wearing makes you feel like a secret agent smuggling out a bag of classified data cleverly stored in cans, so you sneak out of your apartment building, while humming a secret agent type song.



Shortly after you get outside you feel like you are being watched. Though upon further observation the only one that seems to be paying any attention to you is the mural on the wall of your apartment building. That thing always disturbed you.



Behold, money!

On the walk back you think of all the hobbies you have tried. Only one of them didn’t immediately turn out horribly, and so you stuck with it, though admittedly this turned into a bit of an obsession. This caused you to not really look for any other hobbies or practice the ones you had tried. Despite tagging along to the skate park with Milicent a lot, you never really spent much time practicing, for fear of it ending badly. And while you do like playing video games when you have time still, you feel you would like to develop new hobbies as well.



When you arrive home you spend some time thinking of a poem, while constructing a small gift with things you have around the house, since you don’t have enough money to buy a gift. Then you go to pick up Milicent for your date.



Milicent: "Woah, why are you dressed like that? Are we going to a ballroom or something?

…

We’re not going to a ball are we?"

Kyle: "No, uh, unless you want to?"



Kyle: “I, uh, made something for you.

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I don’t have either, but this gift is for you.”



Milicent: “Enough! You really need to calm down, it’s just me, you don’t need to impress me. Please, stop trying to impress me. Seriously. I’ve never gone for all that stuff anyway. Just be yourself! Besides I said hang out, you know, like we used to. I never said let’s go on a fancy date, complete with sappy poetry, fussy clothes, and who knows what else you planned.”



Kyle: “So, what have you been up to since school?

Milicent: “Well, I became a paleontologist, and did a lot of traveling to study cultures. Though I lost my job doing that because of the relationship I told you about. But I decided to use the time to focus on my own line of research, and got some interesting new findings.”

Kyle: “What are you researching? Maybe I can take a look at what you’ve been studying? I bet it’s fascinating.”

Milicent: “Uh… maybe someday, I don’t want everyone to know just yet.“



Milicent: “Oops, dropped my fork.”

Kyle: “I’ll get it.”




Kyle: “You ate that quickly? Without your fork?”

Milicent: “I was hungry, and French Fries don’t require a fork.”

Kyle: “Oh right. Wait… Then why did you have a fork…
Huh, where did the guy next to us go?”

Milicent: ”I guess he had to leave.”

Kyle: “That was… fast. He didn’t even eat his food. And where did the waitress go for that matter?”



While you’re not sure what just happened, for the moment you are too hungry to think about it, so you eat your sandwich.

Kyle: So, you mentioned doing some research on your own, what are your plans after that?

Milicent: Well, it depends how things turn out with my research, but it’s currently looking promising.

Kyle: Do you ever pretend you’re in a secret lair while you research? You know, like a mad scientist or something.



Milicent: What are you getting at?

Kyle: Oh, nothing. I just like to pretend sometimes, to make things more interesting. Like earlier, I took some cans to be recycled, and pretended I was a secret agent smuggling classified date.

Milicent: I guess I just find the research interesting enough without pretending anything.

Kyle: Oh. Well, if you don’t mind, before we leave I’d like to go get a job application.

Milicent: Go ahead.





Kyle: Hello?

Voice: What?

Kyle: I’m here about the job opening.

Voice: What?

Kyle: The sign says you have a job opening, I’d like to apply.

Voice: What... happened to the other lady?

Kyle: I don’t know, she’s gone and there’s a help wanted sign. Can I come in?

Voice: What?



Kyle: Your door is locked, can I come in?

Voice: What?

Kyle: Can I apply for the job, sir?

Voice: What.. about starting tomorrow?

Kyle: Sure!

Voice: What?



Kyle: Umm, did I just get a job? That was weird.

Milicent: I think you got the job, congrats.

Kyle: Want to go back to my place and play some video games?

Milicent: It’s still pretty early, and if you’re anything like you used to be you’ll get stuck playing video games all night. Maybe we could go to the skate park first? If I can convince you to actually try skateboarding that is?
