🍸 Round 1 of 2 at the mixer at a night market of steam and lanterns: everyone was in one room. Watch the whole night, every table in order.
What they want
Sable Quist: Keep it light and fun, and see whether this procedure-loving stranger can loosen up enough to play along.
Sigrid Croft: Try something outside her comfort zone and see whether this chaos is worth a closer look.

First impressions
YOU! Okay, the braid, the boots, the card that says FAINTING PROTOCOL. I need the whole story in one breath. Quick question: when someone says 'try the fried squid,' do you say yes before they finish, or do you check the exits first?
💭
Serious face, practical boots, a stake. Either a vampire hunter or an auditor, and I want to know which.
Check the exits first, then say yes. Those are two separate procedures and I run them in order. The braid is regulation and the card is laminated, but the full story takes longer than one breath. Is the paper hat a commitment, or did you put it on without filing a request?
The challenge
Sentenced! I lost a bet, so this hat is my punishment and I wear it with pride. Exits, then yes, in order. I respect a procedure. Now: if I say 'we sneak into the fish stall's back room,' how many steps before you say yes?
💭
She has a procedure for everything, and I want to see what happens when the procedure runs out.
Three steps. One: I locate the exits, which in a night market means the lanterns, the fish stall and the bin. Two: I assess whether the back room has a door that locks from the inside. Three: I say yes, in writing, with a time stamp. Do you have a pen, or should I supply one?
The decision
A time STAMP? Sigrid, you just said the forbidden word on a first date. Don't tell me the hour, I'll cry! Here, a flamingo pen, very official. Okay, the back room: does she lock from the inside, or do we have to trust the fish guy?
💭
She actually checked the exits out loud, and I kind of love that.
The fish stall's back room has a deadbolt on the inside. I watched the fish man lock it from the wrong side, which is a fire code violation. So we don't trust the fish man. We trust the deadbolt. The pen is on loan, not a gift. Filed under 'pleasantly unhinged,' Sable.

First impressions
Act 1: Sable bursts in with a "YOU!" and a rapid-fire question about fried squid and exits. Sigrid answers in order: check the exits, then say yes. She asks whether the paper hat is a commitment or an unfiled request, and Sable spins it on proudly.
