Ruby’s Diner (created by the amazing @aurora-borealis514 ) is going to be a staple locale while the Boedell’s are in Strangerville) You can find it HERE

MICHAEL- “Sorry the vegan place was closed, I hope this was okay?”

JAYLEN- “It was fine, i mean it was a tomato salad, you can’t really screw that up. So now what are we going to do, so far this date is really lame.”

MICHAEL- “Sorry that I am not entertaining enough for you, so you want to go back home?”

JAYLEN- “That is not what I meant, it isn’t your fault, but the entire day has just been a waste, from the moment I woke up. First my mother was yelling at my dad for some inane reason, then my brother decided it would be a good idea to flush his void critters in the toilet, which made a mess, that mother made me clean up!  I can not wait until I am away at college and not have to deal with all that shit. Plus, I ran out of my favorite eyeliner!!!”

MICHAEL- “You look perfect, Jaylen. But I am sorry you have had a bad day. Maybe I can make it up to you.”

JAYLEN- “Really, so you do have a gift?”

MICHAEL- “Well, it is not anything new, it’s something I wear. Kind of like a family heirloom.  I would like you to have, Jaylen.... A necklace.”

He shows her the necklace. It seems to be glowing somewhat, and is very old looking.

MICHAEL- “This is a necklace of protection.  The wearer is protected from supernatural forces.  I would say in this town it would be practical for you to wear it.  I heard that there is a bunch or vampires out at the old plane crash site.

Jaylen looks at the necklace and then pushes it back towards Michael.

JAYLEN- “You really think I would wear that?  It’s hideous, Michael. Who in their right mind would make such an ugly piece of jewelry.”

MICHAEL- “It wasn’t created for aesthetics, Jaylen, it was created for protection. You don’t have to be so rude, I was just trying to make a gesture of friendship.”

JAYLEN- “Well, sorry, it is hideous, and your gestured failed.  You know what, I think i do just want to go home and end this a day.”

MICHAEL- “Okay, let me pay our bill.”

JAYLEN- “Go ahead, I am just going to walk, I really don’t want to ride in the dirty truck another minute.”

MICHAEL- “Jaylen, it’s getting dark and you live clear up the hill...”

But it was too late, Jaylen was already up and heading for the door.

With that Jaylen leaves the diner, and Michael sitting there.

MICHAEL- “Okay….your welcome?”
