âOh, youâre on,â Merrick laughed. Alma might actually give her a run for her money - and Merrick liked to pride herself on being flirty enough to get people interested while coy enough to keep them wanting more. Not that she really expected much to come of it - she was still waiting on her own meet cute, the guy whoâd actually sweep her off her feet and take her away. âIs that a famous idea? Iâm sure half the staff would also think to do that - and then weâd all be fighting to get it into the editing team first. We should invite the personalities instead - they rarely steal my ideas, and theyâd give us some actual competition.âÂ
đ
âMer, you know Iâm always down to shit like that, so count me in.â Alma was always happy to be part of any of the shenanigans Merrick had in mine for any of her articles or to star in any of her TikToks if she ever asked. And why not? Speed dating could be fun. She wasnât exactly looking to anything really serious and this one gave her the chance to get away from dating apps that were useless. âAnd yeah, bring them on. That will make any bets even more interesting, I bet. Just donât be surprised if I end up hooking up with any of them by the end of the night, yeah? Because Iâm sure those will be much better than Calvin.â
merrickawoodâ:
â
âI think itâd be fun,â Merrick shrugged, but sheâd always liked dressing up and trying out new things. Every experience was an adventure, even if it seemed a little out of her grasp. âWe could make it a group night, though - the speed dating. I bet I could con Mason into going, telling him itâs a competition to see who gets more numbers. Jokes on him, though, because I always win,â she said with a laugh. âIâm sure some off them would wanna make it a segment - or an article. Getting them to turn off âcontent brainâ isnât always easy, yâlnow?â Â
đ
âA competition to see who gets more numbers? Even if itâs just to con him into joining us, I want in. We should even set a prize for the winner.â A laugh escaped Almaâs lips at the idea of a bunch of people from Hoopla trying to win something ridiculous. It could be fun and Alma wasnât against trying the whole speed dating thingâwho knows if that would end up in her getting laid with someone decent? âIâm going to give you one of my famous ideas: tell them theyâre absolutely forbidden to write about it and do it yourself. Tell me that wouldnât be a great article, maybe even as good as the one about cult members on Tinder.â
masonzedlerâ:
.
âYep, fair enough,â Mason laughed; he knew most people would take offense but really, what was the point of that? They both agreed he was right and that was pretty much all that mattered.
âNo, the breakroom is awesome,â he said, correcting her only slightly. âThe cereal bar is nice when itâs not stale, but the couches and giant tv? Prime. I was talking about how I hate writing scripts.â
He shook his notepad at Alma, the pages ruffling against the binding. It really was full of nonsense notes to show heâd tried to put together something cohesive before handing it off to one of the actual writers upstairs.Â
âI can cook and talk, but Iâm not good at scripts.â
đ
Alma raised her eyebrows at the description on the breakroom upstairs. The fact she hadnât visited it yet was outrageous. âI still have to see it with my own eyes. I might convince Merrick to show me around and all of that because Iâd love to spend a few hours there.â
But as soon as Mason spoke of his problem with scripts, she kind of understood the issue. Alma wasnât any good at itâany attempt of coming up with something decent whenever they had to something similar in high school was frustrated and someone else had to come to rescue herâbut she doubted she could help him. And despite having that problem, his show was quite good.
âYour show is great though. Have you thought about improvising if nothing comes up and see what happens? Or isnât that allowed?â
merrickawoodâ:
â
âThey would have drooled over my place,â Merrick sighed, shaking her head. The pros and cons of owning something like a house so young were somehow always the same thing - worried someone would want her just for her property, and knowing she had some place she could settle down with someone when the time came. âIâll have a look around - we are not going to the place that also plays DnD on Sunday nights this time, though I have entertained the thought of learning how to play. I happen to think Iâd make an amazing warlock.âÂ
đ
âDnD? Isnât that the nerdy game by excellent everyone likes to dress up as creatures from the Middle Ages or something like that? Because thatâd where my limit is,â Alma spoke, shaking her head. While she knew little more than that, it wasnât something she wasnât exactly interested in. âBut if you find a speed dating event anytime soon, count me in. You should bring a few more people from the office. You know, just to see all the chaos of it.âÂ

âOh yeah,â Mason said as something in his brain clicked and the recognition took over. âYou did something with your hair. I think. Or Iâm a piece of shit. Both could be true.â
He put his notebook down and leaned back in the plastic chair a little bit, hearing it squeak against the floor. He did have a nicer break room upstairs: couches and chairs with cushioned seats.Â
âI wander sometimes,â he said with a shrug. âIâm supposed to be writing scripts. I almost never use them but itâs for proof of concept or some other legal HR thing. Problem is, I hate it.â
đ
If Alma had to guess which one of those were true, sheâd say both because they werenât exclusive. âI got a haircut recently, but Iâm leaning towards the second.â She wasnât against telling it how is it and it was true Mason had that kind of reputation, so she doubted it was the worst he had heard.
âReally? Come on, whatâs to hate about it?â Alma asked. Although she had never been there before to visit some of her friends upstairs, she had heard wonders about the break room up there. âIâve never seen it so I donât know what Iâm talking about, but Iâve heard the seats are great and the cereal bar is to die for. Assuming people havenât told me lies about it and itâs not just a myth. Are you trading all of that for a smaller break room with not much than black coffee, Mason?â
merrickawoodâ:
â
âListen, if I didnât already have a fuck buddy to fall back on, I probably would have invited him home. Can you imagine him having your address?â Merrick shuddered, giggling as she did. A cult would probably love her place, too - big and roomy and right next to the beach. Her roommates would murder her if she had to evict them for a cult to move in. âWe need a palette cleanser, big time. We should find a speed dating night or something - imagine the hooks we can throw there. Maybe itâs time we start our own cult.âÂ
đ
A chill ran down Almaâs spine at the thought of Calvin having her address, although she doubted they could have done anything in it. Small and not that near to the beach. What would a cult do with a crappy apartment like the one she was living in currently? âMy apartment is crap, so I donât think a cult would have done anything with it. Itâs not a great spot even for their meetings, not even to start our own cult, but Iâm down for that speed dating night and see what comes out of it.âÂ
keikohqâ:
Keiko bit her lip to keep from laughing â solely from her own experience with the statement. Tinder dates were the worst and never go according to plan, so she understood; it was just funny because no matter how many times she has said she was done⌠she would end up swiping two days later out of boredom. âHow bad was the date? I wish I could hold you accountable, but I say that same thing every week and run right back to the apps. Itâs tragic, actually.âÂ
đ
âBad level: the only thing nice was dinner itself and thatâs it,â she answered to Keikoâs question. In hindsight, she dodged a bullet and that was what made it amusing. âApparently he was a cult member whoâs recruiting on Tinder, which makes me glad that didnât go further. Remind me that the next time I mention something about signing up for another dating app.â
merrickawoodâ:
â
âOh my god,â Merrick was about to lose it - âif you tell me his name was Calvin, Iâm going to absolutely lose it. Works at the pier? Very into tie die, which you were willing to overlook because he was just so gorgeous it might have been something you could ignore?â That had been the cult hooker for her, at least, though the idea that there were more of them was just as entertaining. âEven if it wasnât him, that means theyâre on tinder trying to recruit. Talk about flirty fishing, honestly. This is the best thing Iâve heard all dayâÂ
đ
âShut up, that was him.â Alma couldnât believe both her and Merrick had a date with the same guy, the same person who was apparently looking for new members for a new cult. Things would have been less amusing if she had ended up sleeping with him after dinner, but at least she could laugh about it with a friend. âThe only good thing about the date was the dinner I got out of it, but I canât believe I almost had sex with him. He has those vibes all over him, right?âÂ

âThe model has finally arrived,â Ford looked up from changing lenses as he saw them walk in for their staff photo. âTwelve minutes late⌠Donât tell me there is other diva behavior I should be expecting.â The brightened smile on his face proved to show his words were playful.
đ
âIâm here!â Alma spoke with a smile on her lips as he stepped into Fordâs studio. For some reason, someone told her to get her staff photo done and he wasnât even sure why when she was just working the gift shop. âNot sure why someone would want a photo staff of the cashier at the gift shop, but hey, if I need to model Iâll be happy to do that.â

âBabe, if youâre trying to date someone, you canât use Tinder. Thatâs strictly smash or pass territory. Dating is for shit like, I donât know, Bumblr.âÂ
Mason said, lifting his head from his notebook. He squinted at the girl in front of him, a slight frown tugging at his lips. He knew he was in the break room of the gift shop downstairs from his office, but he liked to think he at least recognized most faces.
âAlso who even are you?â
đ
âI wasnât trying to find a date date in there, everyone knows thatâs for fuck buddies, and unfortunately, the guy didnât even pass the test for that. Hell, he didnât even try,â she turned her face to find Mason Zedler, the host of one of the video series Hoopla produced. Alma was a big fan of the series, but what she didnât understand was why he was there, in the break room of the gift shop.
âI canât believe Iâve been here for two years and you donât even know who I am. Iâm Alma, the cashier of the gift shop,â she introduced herself and signalled to the door that led to the shop, âbut my question is: what are you doing here? Isnât there an even nicer break room upstairs?âÂ
merrickawoodâ:
âOkay, but, like, I need to know the details,â Merrick said, grinning from ear to ear. Dating disasters were her forte - the last date sheâd been on, she had literally been asked to join a cult, and half the articles to her name were about such insane antics. âI promise I wonât write about it. Or, I almost promise. I promise I wonât name you?âÂ
đ
âAs long as you use a fake name for it...â Alma cleared her throat before she started telling the details of her last failed Tinder date. âHe was cute, hot and all of that, like I would have slept with him if he hadnât be a weirdo,â she started. Just the memory of it gave her chills. âLike all he talked about was about mindfullness and people he hangs out with that sounded more like a cult of those you write about. Like, go to hell, I donât have time for all of that.âÂ
open starter, at the coffee shop during a break / @hooplastartâ
âI swear Iâm done with Tinder,â Alma spoke after she set her coffee on the table. âLast nightâs date was a disaster and Iâm done with all of it. Please hit me in my head if I ever mention the idea of signing up for another dating app.â
