✨ Tonight's roleplay: Four-Ten Callout. At 4:10 a.m. Ottoline taps Idwal awake at the chapel window because the glass has dropped 40 millibars overnight; the flood is coming and the only dry pew is the pulpit. Ottoline plays The one who wakes, Idwal The one who is woken.

Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Idwal. Up you — no. Mine is the line, today. Wake. The glass has dropped forty millibars and we are in a paintball arena at four-ten.
Four-ten. Forty. Yes. I did not sleep, Ottoline; I was awake. You tapped, and I counted. Is the pulpit dry?
The challenge
The pulpit is the only dry pew, as predicted. Two can stand in it. One of us must go in the paint first.
Then I go first. I have woken eleven houses and never been the one stood in the wet. Tap me when it is time.
The decision
Falling. Steady. I have enjoyed this very much and I intend to go home now and not call you.
Four-ten, then, never. Hello, you. Tap, tap.

The date
First impressions
A forecast shouted across netting
The challenge
The dry pulpit that is really a bunker
The decision
A goodbye that sounds like a promise and is not
The twist
Idwal volunteers to take the first splat so that someone else gets the dry spot.
The finale
They part as friends: fond, unhurried, and each certain the other will not call.
Ending: Just friends
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The box score
How this was scored
Just friends: warm enough (chemistry 70), but trust 55 never got there. Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved. By the numbers: a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry 45%, attraction 30% and trust 20%, minus 40% of awkwardness. This one came out +18.4 against an ordinary date: friends needs +11.0, a second date +16.0. Neither of them wanted to see the other again, and that tipped it one step worse than the numbers alone.
“Falling. Steady. I have enjoyed this very much and I intend to go home now and not call you.”

Secret agendas & the producer
The producer's act-2 situation: The plan falls apart.
- Ottoline Marsh: Test whether the other is sincere
- Idwal Pellam: Find someone adventurous
Guess the dealbreaker
Ottoline Marsh's real dealbreaker was anyone who says it will probably be fine. You didn't guess this one.
You didn't predict this one.
