There was an open mic at the bar on campus. Karyn, after bringing it up way too many times, finally convinced you to go. The two of you sit at a dimly lit table next to a window. The city is dark outside, the traffic lights making it seem like a wonderland. Your jacket is draped around her shoulders as she talks endlessly over some bar food you two are sharing.

Karyn: "Like, oh my gawd! You were amazing on stage! See? I told you I'd cheer you on. " She smiles. "Anyway, we should totally go to one of those parties! They're running late enough, hehe. Your Percy the Panda costume would look great at the costume party, but I wouldn't mind seeing you in a toga." She looks dreamily at you, taking a quick moment to breathe.
