Chapter 1

Meet Eider Marmalade. He just moved to Sunset Valley. He is really hoping the girls are cuter here than they were in Twinbrook. He thinks that getting a job at the theater might help him meet some of them. Pretty girls, that is.

Outside the theatre, he decides to get to know his coworker Yumi Sekimoto a little better. He jokes about working at the theater in order to meet girls, and Yumi finds this quite funny.

He is not impressed when she begins to freak out over nothing, and he moves on to greener pastures.

He tries a pick up line on Jamie Jolina, and she returns his flirts. He is excited to find that she also has the flirty trait.

"So, what's your sign?"

"Libra"

Jamie and Eider have compatible signs! Who'd have thought?

Eider wishes to have his first kiss with Jamie Jolina, and she doesn't disappoint.

"I'm thinking of having a party on Wednesday. It's my day off. You wanna come?"

Working until nine every night doesn't leave much time for parties.

Jamie would love to come to Eider's party. She jumps into his arms before running off to take care of some business.

This turned out to be fortuitous, because Eider has his eye on someone else he wants to meet.

Let's see, pickup line then ask for her sign. It worked last time. Another Libra! Eider is thrilled to find another girl with a compatible sign.

They flirt for a few minutes. Her name is Zelda Mae.

Then Zelda Mae makes an excuse, and sneaks off behind the bookstore.

It seems she only wanted to scare this poor little girl.

Meanwhile, Jamie shows up at the theater again, and Eider offers her soothing back rub. He thinks about what it would be like to woohoo with her.

Jamie was quite pleased, but the look of things. Eider decides he would like to ask her out on a date. Maybe if things go well, she will come back to his place with him. And then, who knows?

Eider wants to flirt with her some more, but is accosted by someone making a political speech. Eider tries to listen politely, but is getting pretty bored. And Jamie is walking away. The date will have to wait for another day.

Suddenly he sees a way out. He has to meet a vampire. Even this woman will understand that meeting a vampire should take priority.

Eider approaches Dallas Fortune. Hmm. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.

What do you say, to make friends with a vampire?

Eider decides silly faces should do the trick.

It's getting late, but Eider isn't tired yet. He heads to the local dive bar, because he wants to learn to play the guitar, and he can't afford one of his own. He practices his concert faces. Nope, too sad.

How about this one? Nope, too angry.

He is hungry, so he orders a drink.  The bartender looks away and squints as she lights the drink on fire. Eider gulps it down and heads to the bathroom.

Nothing is more important that talking to Zelda Mae when she calls, even bathroom breaks. He tells her about his up coming party, and she agrees to come.

Monday and Tuesday are workdays; Eider dons his ratty theater shirt and heads to work. By the end of the day on Tuesday, he has been promoted to Roadie.

Tuesday after work, he runs into his coworker Pauline Wan in front of the theater. He asks her sign. He is either obsessed with signs, or he figures if it worked twice, it'll work again.

It worked again. He's getting this down to a science. He tells her about his party, and she says she'll try to make it.

They dance for a while, and he decides he wants to ask her on a date. But for now, it's getting late, and Pauline says she needs to get home. The date will have to wait for another day.

Eider heads home, and eats a gallon of ice cream for dinner. Tomorrow is Wednesday, the day of the big party. Eider can hardly wait.

Notes

Eider has wishes locked to go on a date with both Jamie and Pauline, and he has a wish to woohoo with Jamie. Should be fun :D
