Last night was a miscommunication. That's all.
When I was on the phone with Fawkes yesterday, I'm pretty sure I heard
[Sound glitching] ...sound effects in the back ground.
Which meant he was raiding the Yevven Ridge Dungeon,
which is super-intense on the leadership side.
Plus I just dance around things too much.
I should've just come out and said
"Do you wanna get together tonight for a date?"
Sure part of me is like
"Is he the jerk I thought he was before? Or is that just a facade?
Hiding a really cool dude who made me feel pretty and awesome
and who I impulsively went way too far with..."
I'll just wait for him to call me.
Or I could text him... Email? In-game mail? IM?
That's a weird sound...
And you are set! Man, Bladezz used some janky parts in here...
I think some of it was from an ATM.
Thanks for looking at it. Heh.
No problemo. I hope that I'm not like...
parachuting into Fawkes territory or anything.
I know this is like... boyfriend-ville.
Uh! No, he... It's early, so I didn't wanna bother him.
Look at how far we've come, huh?
From star-crossed lovers to inseperable BFFs. Rollercoaster'd.
Huh, I wouldn't describe it... either of those ways, but thanks.
And... in support of your budding romance,
I had this painting commissioned for you... best friend. Voila'd!
Yeah I know, I was speechless too.
This friend of mine who does van-art whipped it right up for me.
The likenesses are pretty special.
And potentially could end up on the side of a van.
Yeah, it is special... Thank you.
I know the guild has been giving you a ton of flack for dating this guy,
...but I'm in support. Put me on Team Codex-Fawkes! Team Cawkes!
I'm thinking about making t-shirts...
Uh, no, we should play...
Oh yeah, let's play, for sure... [Phone beeping] Oh!
Ah, voicemail. Ugh! It's my mom again! She's being so creepy! Listen:
"Hello Sujan! It's my birthday soon, and for me the best present
would be just to hear the sound of your voice. Goodbye!"
She's insane!
It sounded OK to me.
OK? You met my mom.
You know that "OK" would never be used to describe her. Ever.
Look, sometimes people change.
They might have been jerks, but then something happens,
and you find out they aren't jerks anymore.
So, if something else happens that makes you suspicious
that they really ARE the jerks that you thought they were,
you should really give them the benefit of the doubt, and...
And wait for them to call you.
Are we still talking about me?
- What? - Huh?
Yes, yes. You should give your mom a chance.
OK. You're right. Wow. This is really great.
I love being in the friend zone.
I never knew women could be such great pals.
[Clara singing] Vork is a loser! Vork is a loser!
Sometimes. Why the hateful chanting?
My iron ingots are not selling in the trading house.
I've only made 2000 gold so far towards the guild hall.
And Tink and I teamed up to clean up. Up to 5,000 gold already!
With Clara's tailoring and my enchanting,
we're making sets of uber fishing gloves.
They're selling like hotcakes 'cause of all the sea festival quests this week.
We also have a bit worked out.
We invite the guy to a private chat channel called "FishyLips"
and then Tink goes...
"You WANT these gloves."
And then I go, "You NEED these gloves." And then really quick we say...
- "Want." - "Need."
"50 gold. Pay up!"
We sell a pair every time.
Ooh, ladyvoice'd. I'll buy three pairs.
- Later. Clara, customer! - [Sexy voice] Ooh.
Can I turn them in for auditory prostitution?
For selling fish gloves? Seems kind of drastic, dude.
I can't let them win! I need a defensible guild hall,
not a glitter-infested puffy paint palace! And where's Bladezz?
He has a job, he's at Cheesybeards.
Maybe he and I can team up. I do need someone with a work ethic.
Oh, that's quite a heave-ho with that left arm. Good toss, lad!
That's it? You chewed my *** off last week for serving wilted lettuce!
Ooh, don't mutiny, Jeannette. Or I'll make ye walk the plank!
Order up, Jeannette!
No Zaboo, I don't wanna talk about what Fawkes smells like!
I bet it's like a combination of... nutmeg and rawhide.
He's not a... gingerbread cowboy.
We're back! 15 more sets of gloves sold!
Aneurysm!
Wha-what is going on with my computer?
My character's leaping around the screen like a crack-filled ferret!
Why don't you get your new boyfriend to buy you one?
I can't believe he went out with you again.
Oh, that's right! Codex, how did your date go last night?
Yeah, let's dish!
Ahh... It's a long story. [Laughs] Umm, dating is... it's...
The dating world is complicated and sometimes...
My computer crashed!
Codex! Fawkes is riding by right now with the whole Axis of Anarchy!
Probably on the way to purchase a deluxe guild hall with a sensible color scheme.
Don't message him! Ugh, stupid computer!
I'll just log onto your character from my laptop.
Wait, you have my password?
Oh. Sometimes I go into your backpack,
and rearrange all the items in your inventory. Inventory Tetris'd.
Slash-wave at him!
You just got blown off by a guy riding a mastadon.
Maybe he was on auto-follow. Or... he didn't recognize me.
Yeah! You know, human red-haired female priest
with an Elite Herald Tunic isn't un... common.
- Well maybe you should... - Call him!
You're right, because... we're dating. I should be able to do that.
Yeah, you go, girlfriend! Friend-girl.
I was gonna say, why don't you just get drunk and show up at his doorstep?
But... calling's good too.
[Phone ringing] Journaling.
Hi, it's Codex. Uh, did you get your jacket?
I did.
I kinda thought you'd pick it up yourself.
You can't undo the past. But you can certainly not repeat it. Bruce Willis.
OK. So... Do you want to set a time now? To go out together? For... for a date?
Yeah, I thought I made this clear between us. I don't date.
What? No, that certainly was not clear because I don't... do... one-time deals.
Well apparently in this case you did.
Wait, so... [Hangs up]
Oh my God! I really am a ho-bag?
