[Chloe adjusts the camera so that it's pointing directly at her face. She angles her device just a bit more.]

So, hi.

[She shifts in her seat, a little uneasy. Jeez, this is awkward. Chloe clears her throat.]

Right. So, I was hoping to get a little help--

[Chloe stops abruptly, realizing that Max could see this video. She briefly adjusts the settings on her device (her face suddenly out of focus) and locks the video from Max. After making sure that her settings are updated, Chloe angles the camera one more time.]

[Locked from Max]
Right, sorry about that. Didn't want Max to see this. But anywaaaay...

[She stretches the last word a little longer, then returns to her usual clipped tone.]

So, the thing is, I wanna take my girlfriend out on a date but I have no fucking clue where to bring her in Wonderland.

[Yes, it's Chloe's fault for not exploring. But the lure of her bedroom is always sooo tempting.]

All we've done is watch movies.

[She tries not to roll her eyes, but fails anyway.]

Max is a real geek and all but I really wanna take her somewhere more exciting. Ideas, anyone?

[Did you want advice from a fancy Victorian gent? Well, here he is.]

I know one way to charm a woman is to take her out to dinner. I've heard there is a coffee shop on the first floor and a diner on the eighth floor, though I haven't gotten around to seeing it for myself just yet. [But he will.]

Or, if there is a performance scheduled, you could take her to the preforming arts theater. There is nothing quite like the magic of a live show.

[mypartnerincrime]

[She considers his suggestions.]

Hm. A fancy dinner might be okay--

[Chloe pauses, then starts chuckling.]

Ah, who am I kidding? I don't think we're the type to go out on fancy dinners--

[Chloe isn't. But what about Max? Maybe Max would be the type? Who the fuck knows?

She should. I should know. Chloe abruptly stops talking and her eyebrows furrow. Now she's feeling even more confused than before she asked for help.]

Uh, on second thought, maybe I might consider the dinner. What about those live performances you mentioned? What are they about?

[theothermrgray]

... Well, somebody's decisive.

[Dorian chuckles softly to himself.]

As far as I know, the performances are usually announced a few weeks in advance. Last one I've been to was a live concert held by Mettaton, who happens to be quite the celebrity where he comes from.

[Looks like someone's promoting your brand, Mettaton.]

[mypartnerincrime]

[A rock concert might be cool. Although Chloe remembers the last time she tried to make Max dance.

Oh, that bony white ass. She grins and shakes her head slightly.]

I'd be pretty okay with a concert. I'll keep that in mind.

[Chloe hesitates, then rolls her eyes and asks.]

Any artsy-farsty, hipster stuff on? My girlfriend has a thing for that shit.

[theothermrgray]

[Dorian raises an eyebrow as he tries to figure out what "artsy-fartsy" and "hipster" mean.]

... I'm not sure about bohemian activities, other than the coffee shop, but I suppose you two could relax in the music room. Do you play an instrument of some sort?
