[Somehow, Nathan has got hold of a clipboard. He lounges on Eden's couch for a while, staring intently at the clipboard as though the video's an accident. It isn't, however. Which becomes apparently when Nathan sits himself up, as though to make an important announcement. He'd almost seem formal if it wasn't for his casual jeans and t-shirt.]

Ladies of the City! Preferably between the ages of 16 and 30. I'm here to show you the man of your dreams.

A while ago I promised my good friend Campbell I'd help get him laid by a lady who wasn't a serial killer. Seeing how his birthday is coming up and everything, I thought now would be a good time to live up to my word and give him that.

So, if you've managed to avoid killing someone, are relatively good looking and of the female persuasion, please step right up. I have a few questions to ask you... [At that he taps the clipboard meaningfully. Then he shrugs, dropping it on his lap.] But really, so long as you meet those three requirements, I'm sure you're probably fine.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[As she should. As far as Nathan's concerned, anyway. That offer does kind of make up for it, though. He considers it.]

Okay. But you have to make me one first. You could still be a serial killer, after all.

Oh! I'm not!

But, ah... What kind of cake do you like?

Well, you'd say that even if you were, wouldn't you?

[Pause for thought. Cake requires careful deliberation.] Make it something chocolatey. Can't go wrong there.

[She pauses, as well.] I suppose so...

Okay. Where should I give it to you?

Well, ordinarily I'd probably just tell you my flat number, but since I still don't know you're not some crazed murderer...

How does the fountain sound? You could let me know when you're done making it and we could sort the time then.

Okay! I'll let you know when it's finished, then.

When is your friend's birthday?

...I'm not actually too sure. I think he said next week, or something.

If you could find out the exact day for me, I'd very much appreciate it.

Okay, he says it's on the 18th. That okay for you?

Yes, that's fine!
