<strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>JD<br/><br/>A lot of girls in Allison’s position might have suspected that it was just flattery to say that JD would pick her every time.  Certainly, for girls who would hang out with a nymph, it was common for the nymph to get picked for the first attempt and one of the other girls to get the retry.  However, Allison did seem certain that JD genuinely wanted her, which was why Allison warmed up so quickly.  How she knew that was another question entirely.<br/><br/>“For the most part, this has been a really great university,” Allison said.  “There’s a few things, but, there’s a few things everywhere.”  A faint shrug gave her a delightful little jiggle.  “Like, if you go scuba diving on one of the other islands, make sure you know which areas are safe.”  That was just common sense to her.<br/><br/>However, the mention of the mean knuckle sandwich gave Allison more of a smile, as if Allison was daring JD to go for it.  “The one I mentioned before hasn’t caused any problems for over a year.”  She had brought it up as an example.  “I wouldn’t go alone, and bring your brass knuckles or whatever,” she said, “but if you go off trying to find that panty thief and make him confess, I agree it’ll be pretty impressive.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Tian Lei<br/><br/>An e-mail came over from Luke’s manager at Shaw Brothers Studio:<br/><br/><hr/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Status update: expect heavy delays due to various bureaucratic oversight.  The higher-ups like you, but they’re not as interested in another standard wuxia story retelling old fables.  The success of Shang Chi has the execs thinking we need something new and exciting for Americans, and there’s some concern with the Chinese market about having the lead actor being from Taiwan.  Between focus groups and everything else, these things can take months to work through all the red tape.<br/><br/>Some of the discussions have suggested cross-genre romance stories, like a bodyguard charged with taking a rich young woman on foot cross-country because she has a phobia of getting into vehicles.  Even then, you’d definitely do for the star but we’d need someone who can handle herself for the combat scenes and wouldn’t come across as another damsel in distress.<br/><br/>Would love to have more definitive or imminent news; patience is the name of the game.</tt><br/><br/><hr/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Clio<br/><br/>From some distance away, for a split second, Clio and the nymph locked eyes.  There was always that moment in cheesy movies where they wanted to show love at first sight, and movies accompanied it with slow motion and music.  Reality was much harder to notice, and yet, still the nymph smiled as she kept an eye on Clio.<br/><br/>Clio wasn’t struck with any sort of supernatural lust, just whatever she might feel just from seeing a nymph, but the nymph was definitely smitten.<br/>
