[Because these are the important things at hand, Mayfield. Obviously. Not getting out or dealing with the crazies in town or anything like that. No no, it's DATES

You. Will. Not. Shout. Into. The. Phone. Again.

Leave it to the Americans to broadcast their courtships so blatantly, without regard to the feelings of the ladies involved.

Be that as it may, if you need an extra person, I would be more than happy to escort a lady to whatever engagements you have planned. ...I need to meet more people.

[freakinblur]

What's the big deal? They got on the phone first!

[You... you confuse him so.] I-I dunno. Maybe? I'll get back ta ya on that.

[ergaleomancer]

They were being obvious, but still invitational. You, however, are being crass.

It was the purpose of your phone call to find an additional person, was it not? Who better to escort a lady than a -gentleman-, and one with such high honours as mine?

Or are you afraid I'll make you look bad?

[freakinblur]

I ain't be crass! I could be a lot crasser if ya wanted me to. But I ain't that dumb, thanks.

Yeah right, pally! Taiwan is about ta have tha greatest date of her life. There ain't no way you could make me look bad. 'Sides, I don't even know yer name! How can I invite ya?

[ergaleomancer]

[She snorts disparagingly.] My name is Elizabe-theta Buckley, and you can take this as a challenge to see whom the ladies respond to more kindly--your brashness, or my civility.

[Elizawhata? People here have such complicated names.]

I may have ta take ya up on that! Even if these two ladies ain't, we'll find someone. An' you'll see that ladies cannot resist my charms.

[ergaleomancer]

We can consider it a contest, then. Are there to be wagers?

[freakinblur]

Aw geez, I'll have ta thin on that. Comin' up with wagers in this place. Ain't much fun ta do.

[Back at the HQ, wagers usually involved dangerous things with grenades. Or Demo's scrumpy.]

[ergaleomancer]

I shall await hearing back from you.
