previously I was logged in as Lou when Amelie autonomously cashed in their date for the Spice Festival. While my last two brain cells were out to lunch and forgot to screencap it, her text said something to the effect of "loads of free food." Clearly she knows just how to hook a growing werewolf.

Oh, and look who else other than this sad sop once again "coincidentally" decided to show up. Big seester.

(this was not meant to be long but it is, I am so sorry)

Much like Rory, Lou had gleaned Amelie's lack of worldliness in certain matters and had planned to play it cool anyway, but Lilith's presence added an extra incentive. He therefore went for what he hoped was a 'subtle' approach.

LOU: Ooof my left arm is so sore I did like 500 reps earlier lemme just rest it here for a minute... AMELIE: *reflects on how even she knows this is a line*

Someone else also running interference - at least when it came to me getting screencaps of this historic event - was Faiz.

You're cute but you need to get your stupid hair and your stupid jawline out of here, stat. Seriously, look at just how in the way you are. Literally no one wants you here. I didn't even know who you were until I clicked on you.

(Unfortunately since I was logged into the one character who I couldn't use vampiric abilities and compel him to vamoose, we were stuck with him. Then I had to save and restart the game since my screencaps stopped working. At least I know who I'm holding responsible.)

Lilith must have said something to Faiz because when I returned, he was gone (never to be seen again 🧛‍♀️). And everyone else was back to their regular scheduled programming. Especially Lou.

LOU: Sooo, you got any plans after this? Like dragging a helpless yet incredibly handsome young werewolf back to your bat cave and having your wicked way with m- him? AMELIE: We don't have bat caves. LOU: Oh right, my bad. Coffin then? AMELIE: We don't all have coffins either. LOU: *apologises and internally decides to stick to making wolf eyes for the next while*

The first date jitters appeared to have passed when Amelie let something slip about her past (or lack thereof) in certain areas and Lou inserted his paw into his mouth - big time.

LOU: Wait what - you've never? AMELIE: ... LOU: Oh my plumbob you are so precious! I just want to wrap you up in cellophane and keep you forever. Uh, except maybe not 'cellophane' since it's not really ecologically friendly. Save Sulani and all that. AMELIE: ... LOU: And you'd need to breathe and stuff. Wait, could you even breathe through cellophane? Do you even need to breathe? With the whole 'undead' thing and stuff. AMELIE: It had never occurred to me that this was anything to be embarrassed about. Until now. So, thank you. LOU: .... LOU: (Oh sh*t I am such a dick and an idiot I am going to be apologising to her forever can Greg just burrow his way out of the ground and swallow me whole now please and thank you-)

He wisely elected to change the subject, only circling back to it much, much later.

LOU: Hey so, I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable earlier. It's not even all that unusual. And it's literally like no one else's business, you know? People get so hung up on shi- stuff that affects absolutely no one else sometimes. AMELIE: An acceptable apology, but continue. LOU: And well, you're so cultured and sophisticated and stuff that I sometimes forget just how sheltered you were, I guess? The whole 'allergic to garlic and sunshine' thing probably didn't help you get out all that much either. And look at you. All those Copperdale boys would have been too tongue-eyed to even ask you to the Prom, no matter how much they would've wanted to. AMELIE: I... was actually homeschooled. LOU: Well, see? It totally makes sense given how you've had to grow up. And this is just our first date. If we end up heading there then we can take our sweet time, y'know? I just want you to have fun and get to know each other better. There's no rush.

Still later, he revisited his apology.

LOU: So I was an idiot. AMELIE: Just a little. LOU: More than a little, I'd say. [...] What's your policy on second dates with idiots? AMELIE: It depends on the idiot in question. LOU: So there's this one idiot. Y'know, about 'yea' high, not the sharpest tool in the box although he is sometimes a tool. But he has great hair and fantastic taste in rock music and lady vampires. That kind of idiot, maybe? AMELIE: Oh, alright then. I suppose. AMELIE: *giggles at the expression his face* LOU: Wow, you really left me hanging for a minute there, huh? AMELIE: Consider it payback for earlier...

Still later (and after some much better vibes, possibly some 'juice' too):

LOU: I really really like you, Mademoiselle Vatore. AMELIE: We say 'signorina' where my family is from. LOU: Signorina Vatore? Then I really really like her too. Whoever she is. You got a number for her or something? AMELIE: You really are such a joker. LOU: But you like it, don't you? AMELIE: A second date would offer more conclusive evidence. LOU: A second date it is then.

The rest of the date went more smoothly. Perhaps because another strummer had replaced Lilith, and thus Lou was no longer constantly misplacing his 'head to mouth' filter out of attempts at humour to mask his sheer terror.

Much like Cinderella's pumpkin, however, the festival ran out of time, leaving the pair to go their separate ways. For now.

LOU: I'll be seeing you later, signorina...

Ugh.

(They talk way too much in my head so you may as well suffer along with me. And while I would like to say that we'll be spared this in the future, they have agreed to a second date. Have a good timezone, wherever you are.)
