"Dance cards"?

[swinish_beast]

At a ball, or a dance -- the ladies carry them.

[On the other end of the phone line, Basini is blushing a little.]

[techno_mancer]

I've never heard of that. Not really prom tradition, but I guess they could if they want?

[swinish_beast]

[rather haughtily:]
All of the girls here seem very wild. I don't think they would.

[techno_mancer]

Ya think so? I know some who are, I guess, but some I know here are sweet as pie. Ya got yourself a date yet, kid?

[swinish_beast]

Nuh-uh.

[techno_mancer]

Well, ya got some time yet. But it ain't require, like some people seem to think. I ain't gonna turn anyone away at the door cuz they came alone.

[swinish_beast]

I couldn't have a good time having to lead a girl around.

[techno_mancer]

So a guy then? [Tease tease]

[swinish_beast]

[Basini yelps indignantly.]

Of course not!

[techno_mancer]

[Quinn laughs.] Look man, I dunno when and where you're from. But unless ya plan on askin' out a drone, a lotta the girls here are pretty chill AND are waitin' to be asked by someone to go! What've ya got to lose, right?

[swinish_beast]

[... asking a drone actually sounds like a pretty good idea. Basini ponders this for a moment.]

Hmm.

[techno_mancer]

Oh, don't get any ideas like that! No drones allowed at this thing. That's my one big rule.

[swinish_beast]

But what if the girls don't like me?

[techno_mancer]

Ya keep pressin' on, man. There's someone out there for everyone, right? Just have confidence!
