I have ways of being persuasive. Suffice to say, it's a real invite.

I doubt they would've turned you away if you'd just showed up with Parson and Crysta.

You say that, but Crysta would delight in telling the host that I'm not on the list and leaving me at the door. Parson [...] I'm not sure yet. I thought he might have asked you to be his plus-one, actually.

He didn't.

Evidently. ~~Do you want~~ [...] What are your fun plans this weekend?

I have a dentist appointment. Does that count?

You know it doesn't. Unless your dentition is transitioning to something more sharklike, in which case, yes, that would be fun.

I'm still having nightmares about "what if you lose the ability to breathe air", I don't need more new ideas.

Apologies. No more talk about exciting mutations. Let's talk about your depressing social life instead.

You don't actually want to hear about that.

You severely underestimate my dedication to documenting the minutiae of my the people I work with.

Well it's not very entertaining. Sorry. [...] I think I'm getting ghosted right now, which I guess is kind of funny.

Not enjoying the experience?

No comment.

Who's ghosting you?

Just some guy.

That's even worse. "Just some guy" is not worth turning your weekends sad and boring.

One weekend. Singular. But thanks for the advice.

I'm sure your plans next week are just riveting. [...] You should come to the soft open tomorrow.

I'm not as good at getting invited to things as you are.

Luckily for you, we get plus-ones and I'm 90% certain that Parson doesn't have better plans either. Just show up. 7 o'clock.

[...] Alright. But if you pull a Crysta and don't let me in with you, I'm not going to talk to you for at least five days.

Somehow, forewarning takes the sting out of being ignored by you. I do so appreciate clear communication.

Do you?

Coming from other people, yes. Coming from me, not in the slightest.

However, as tempting as it is to leave you paranoid about this being an elaborate prank, the odds of you blowing this off anyway are rather high. Therefore, I assure you, you will not be left at the door.
