The setting
A comedy open mic, front row
A packed comedy open mic club, where Chud the crusher and Sable Quist sit in the front row while the host keeps picking on the two of them.

Bonus question: Who leaves the date first?
The date
First impressions
Act 1: First impressions. Chud the crusher greets Sable Quist with a 'Hello good looking' and suggests ditching the show for his place. She refuses to miss the heckler getting destroyed and dares him to steal the mic. He accepts, on condition she waits backstage to catch him.
The challenge
Act 2: The challenge. The escape plan collapses when the host spotlights them. Sable Quist suddenly stops in the aisle and asks him to stay, watching his face closely. He doesn't flinch and simply steps closer, and she admits most people do flinch when the plan changes.
The decision
Act 3: The decision. Sable Quist decides they'll make a run for a cab. She grabs his hand and sprints, both laughing, already arguing over where the next date should go.
The twist
The improvised getaway turns into a test when Sable Quist stops dead and asks Chud the crusher to stay, and he is the one who doesn't flinch.
The finale
They leave the club together, hand in hand, and both want another date, so they start planning one before the cab door closes.
Ending: A second date
Who leaves the date first? They leave together

Watch it play out as a scene.
First impressions
Hello good looking. Missed your chaotic energy. Ready to ditch this comedy show and head back to my place?
Ditch?! And miss the heckler getting destroyed?! Absolutely not! But I dare you to go up there and steal the mic right now!
Steal the mic? Only if you're backstage waiting to catch me when I get dragged off.
Deal! But if you bomb, we're claiming political asylum in the alley! Go!
Only if you're riding shotgun in the getaway vehicle.
Shotgun is my permanent address! Don't trip on the cord!
Shotgun's yours. But the only stage I care about is my living room floor with you.
Living room floor?! Is that a formal invitation or a floor-sitting ultimatum?!
It's a formal ultimatum with very soft padding. Come on, getaway driver.
An ultimatum?! Oh, you are playing with fire! But fine, lead the way before the dachshund mutinies!
The challenge
Fire's the only way to test the flooring, captain. Let's make a run for it.
Wait. Actually... let's just stay right here for a second.
Stay here? That wasn't in the pirate manual. What's caught your eye?
Nothing. I just wanted to see if you'd actually stop when I said so.
You tested the emergency brakes. I'm impressed. But my place still has better lighting.
You didn't blink. Most people flinch when the plan changes.
I never flinch when it's you changing the plan.
Oh. Okay. Lead the way, captain.
Good choice. Let's see if your luck holds out in the cab.
The decision
My luck always holds out when there's a cab with squeaky suspension involved. Let's move!
The box score
A second date: chemistry 80 and trust 67 carried it (a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry most). 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 +28.9 against an ordinary date: friends needs +6.5, a second date +12.0.
“I never flinch when it's you changing the plan.”
Secret agendas & the producer
The producer's act-2 situation: The plan falls apart.
- Chud the crusher: Find someone adventurous
- Sable Quist: Test whether the other is sincere

You didn't predict this one.
