[from here]

[laughs] That's smooth, dude. So you did want to ask her?

[im_impulse]

Yeeeeeees? I mean, I wasn't really thinking it in words but when she said she'd wear a dress I kinda felt like she'd look nice in one and she doesn't talk that much but I talk a lot so maybe if she felt uncomfortable I could talk extra for her so she'd have fun! So I guess I kinda did?

[comesquickly]

Then hey, at least you get to go with the girl you wanted to ask! Might as well make the most of it, right?

[im_impulse]

*more nervous tie tugging*

If I can find her. What if she got lost? What if zombies attacked her before she got here? What if she's here but allergic to peanuts and I get her those little sandwiches with them in it? What if she wants me to slow dance!?

[comesquickly]

Man, you are so nervous right now, aren't you?

[im_impulse]

It's not my fault I don't know how to dance and she knows stuff like kung fu and body language! I don't think she's been to lots of these dances and I don't wanna mess it up for her!

[comesquickly]

Dancing can't be that hard, right? So the slow part is kind of hard, but otherwise you just put your hands on her waist and, y'know, move in a circle.

[said with all the wisdom of a teenage boy who has only attended a couple high school dances]

[im_impulse]

But what kind of circle? Does it go clockwise or counter-clockwise or am I supposed to kinda loop around and what if there's another couple nearby, I can't just vibrate us through them!

[comesquickly]

I dunno, you just sort of circle in place? I think? Just don't overthink it and you'll be fine!

[im_impulse]

But I have to overthink it in my mind or else I won't think and my body might do something weird and she'll notice because she can totally read my body language!

[comesquickly]

But if you're spazzing out about it, your body's gonna do something weird anyway, right?

[im_impulse]

*grabs his hair and tries to smooth it down*

But I don't want it to do weird stuff! I'm bad enough at saying stuff before I think without my feet getting in my mouth before I--aw, you know what I mean!

[comesquickly]

Dude! Take a breath! She obviously likes you, or else she wouldn't have said she'd come to the party with you. So she already knows that stuff about you, right? So just be yourself!

[im_impulse]

*takes a few dozen deep breaths in quick succession and kind of looks a little woozy from it*

I guess, I don't know. Is there any other things I should do in case things get weird and ninjas don't attack at exactly the right time?
