Ember: Isn’t it dangerous for a pretty girl to be out all by herself this late at night?

Clover: Thanks, but it’s not like I’m not used to it.

Ember: What are you doing out here all alone anyway?

Clover: This whole dating thing is overwhelming for me with one person… but seven of you? It’s a lot.

Ember: Would you like me to leave you alone?

Clover: No… it’s okay. You can stay. 

[they talk for a little and Clover awkwardly holds his hand]

Clover: Um… would it be weird if… I don’t know, gave you a hug?

Fox: Well, yeah… I mean there are all of these people here and we just met and…

Clover: U-uh… right. Nevermind. [goes to hide in embrasmessment]

Ember: [way too pleased with how this turned out]

(Thanks Fox)

Clover: Do you mind if I join you two?

Lubomir: Of course not, mon chou, there is always room for you. 

Clover: [still awkwardly refusing to sit directly next to Fox] You should let me know the next time you play, I would love to go!

Fox: That would be so totally cool! Although it may be a while because I signed up for this–

Granite: [sits right in-between them]

[both Clover and Fox look incredibly awkward]

Granite: [acting innocent] Sorry! Did I interrupt something?

Clover: Uh, no. It’s fine.

Clover: I’m sorry this is so late… 

Lucas: That’s okay. You know what they say? Good things come to those who wait.

Clover: [chuckles] You’re sweet. 

Lucas: Mostly nature, scenery. I want to take pictures from all over the world someday.

Clover: That’s really cool. I bet you get to see a lot of really neat places.

Lucas: Oh, you have no idea! Just a few weeks ago I was in the ruins outside of Walnutburg.There’s this break in the wall that the sun shines through that is just breathtaking. It’s one of the best photos I’ve ever taken.

Clover: I bet it was beautiful! I’ve always wanted to go there. Do you have any pictures you can show me?

Clover: [nervously eyes Fox out of the corner of her eye for 20 sims minutes]

Fox: [completely oblivious]

Clover: [finally works up the nerve to talk to him… sits on the other side of the room] 

Fox: [completely oblivious still]

Clover: So…a musician. What kind of music do you play?

Fox: [jumps] WHOA! Where did you come from?

Clover: [mumbles to self] Oh thank berry he didn’t notice me awkwardly staring at him forever…

[Clover and Lubomir kiss each other’s cheeks in greeting]

Lubomir: It was nice chatting with you, mon chou, we will have to do this again.

[Lubomir takes off towards gym]

Clover: Hey, wait! We haven’t even gotten to– [sighs] he’s already gone. Did he just call me his sweet bun…

Vivid: Hey, are you okay? You look a little stunned.

Clover: Well, I was supposed to be on my speed date with Lubomir but… I guess he had more important things to do. 

Vivid: Looks like his loss is my gain. Mind if I cut in?

Clover: Not at all. But.. do you mind if I we get something to eat? I’m starting to feel a bit hangry.

Vivid: I don’t mind one bit.

[literally talked and ate sandwiches for 2 sim hours

🙃]
