[stresspoint]

I was at a bar. I think I started talking to someone.

I guess it didn't work out that well for us. Shame.

Do I have to get up?

[gorb]

If you can.

Are you still in the bathroom?

[stresspoint]

I'm on the bed.
Give me a minute and I'll check the door.

[gorb]

Be careful. I'm not entirely sure you haven't been drugged.

Check the windows while you're up. Can they open?

[stresspoint]

Drugged? I'd be on the street.

Room 413. The window seems normal. Small, but the room is small.

[gorb]

Too small for a man?

( He doesn't necessarily want to talk to the monkey on the desk but he will if he has to. )

You don't feel drugged then?

[stresspoint]

You're not asking me to climb out of a hotel window.
I can check out like a normal person.

If I were drugged, I don't think they would have turned the shower on.

[gorb]

I'm not asking you to climb out of the window. Stay put.

Do you remember anything about them?

[stresspoint]

At the door or can I go back to the bed?

They had a nice voice. Soft. I think he was probably younger than me.
I guess I must have scared him.

[gorb]

Whichever you'd like. I'll be 15. Try to think about what happened.

Scared or not they shouldn't have left you on your own. You could have been hurt.

[stresspoint]

Bed.
I don't remember what happened. I was drunk I guess.
We started talking. Maybe I looked that pathetic?

Isn't that more reason to leave? They could have been hurt.

[gorb]

Hm.

I'll have someone call the hotel for you, see if there's been any report of an incident. But it's most likely you went somewhere with a coward.

[stresspoint]

I think they probably just realized their mistake.

Pathetic.

[ He must really have been so much of a mess he put them off. Somehow that hurts even though it shouldn't. He knows what he was getting into. ]

I shouldn't have had so much to drink.

[gorb]

I can find them and kill them for you.

( Kidding.

... Maybe. )

Don't beat yourself up.

[stresspoint]

Don't chase innocent people.

I should forgive myself for ending up abandoned and mostly naked in a shower like this?

[gorb]

You should.

Shit happens, Nanami-san.

[stresspoint]

Maybe.

Bring clothes?

[gorb]

... all right but they'll have to be mine.

You'll fit though.

[stresspoint]

Okay.

Fair warning I'm not almost naked now.

[gorb]

I assume your clothes got wet but did you take everything off?

[stresspoint]

Yes.
I was wet.

[gorb]

What kind of hotel doesn't have robes?

Never mind, I'll keep my eyes to myself you don't have to worry.

( It sounds like a rough night anyway. )

[stresspoint]

I don't want to get up.

I'm not worried just tired.

[ And sad. Who fucks up a one night stand this badly? Him, evidently. ]

[gorb]

You'll feel better once you've gotten some rest. One bad date isn't the end of the world.

( Still contemplating murder though, so maybe it is. )

Maybe the next one will be good.

[stresspoint]

One bad date.

[ Is it just one? Isn't this a whole statement on his life? At least from Nanami's perspective in the moment. He scared someone off by being too drunk for a simple hookup. ]

That would mean going back to that bar.
I can't.
