    I like how everyone assumes ☑ That you'll look into her husband's activities for her when you're probably just gonna say you will and then blow it off

    That's because that's what she wants you to think.

    At first, she's gonna have the character say that, and go off, not actually doing it, but a twist of fate will have her end up actually having to look into the husband's activities.

    You sigh (deeply). You could tell her it's fine, but you know she wouldn't buy it anymore than a book without a shirtless man on the front. You tell her that you've got it. She asks how. You've always been good at knowing things because everyone knows you're not a gossip so they say things around you that they normally treat as secrets. You tell her that you're good at getting info and don't elaborate just because you do want her to keep giving you blackmail material. Not that you'd ever use it, right? Anyhow she seems to like your plan. Maybe you shouldn't have said anything. Either way, you already said it so you have messed yourself up. Oh well. You order a slice of pie and a coffee for her and ask her why she actually thinks her husband is cheating. He's coming home late. He works in tech you ditz. He's coming home drunk. He works in tech you fucking ditz. He's spending a lot of time on the weekends alone. He works in-- actually, that one is a little weird. They were inseparable two years ago. Like Jeanne and Nate were always doing everything together and feeding into each other's flaws in this uniquely terrifying and mutually dependent ways. In some ways some space to be their own people rather than JeanNate is kind of a good idea. With that in mind she added that they're not doing the horizontalized softshoe recently and that he's been more possessive of the ice cream. That seems to be all of the (useful) information you can get out of her.

    It's getting to be evening now. You tell her not to get home late or whatever just so that you can leave now. She agrees that she doesn't want to seem like SHE'S the one with an infidelity problem. Yes, that's so unlikely.

    You should...
    [] Go home and go to sleep.
    [] Go home and get on your battlestation.
    [] Call Matt.
    [] Call someone else.
    [] Go out on the town.

    When you finally roll out you immediately know what you're going to do. Find another place to sit down and collect yourself. Jeanne mingles out into the crowd of commuters walking from work as you duck back into another cafe. This one's quiet and you're quickly seated. After ordering something at random you lean yourself over, hands before yourself, fingers interlinked like a model parent would. You sigh (heavily). Okay, time to call Matt you decide.

    Ring. Ring. Ring. R--

    Hello, speaking? Whoever you want it to be. Oh, he didn't thinking you'd be calling that fast. You like being prompt and you want to make it up to him. He's willing to listen. As you talk to him more, you realize that you really have no business talking to him. He's not exactly your kind of person and ultimately you don't feel that same... feeling word... um... spark? Either way you're wondering if you were just flustered and got hit by the suspension bridge effect before. Well, either way, you just have just managed to set up a meeting with him without paying attention too much to what he was saying. Nice autopilot. He says he needs to go so you hang up.

    You have about two hours before the meeting however, so you should...
    [] Head home and get changed.
    [] Scout out the place, kill the chef, replace him with your own chef, etc.
    [] Hang around here and get to know this charming establishment.

    Kill the chef and feast on his chef organs to absorb his chef powers.

    You reach the place with about an hour to spare. It's a nice little sit down place, some kind of a Chinese place you assume. You peer in from the street at first to get a gauge on the mood of the place. You know stuff like, can you stay here for an hour without ordering? The door is propped, so you think you seem a little weird staring in. You walk in and survey the landscape, it's kind of empty, you walk slowly. It seems like they don't do carry out or anything, it's just a proper restaurant. Not like a place you'd take someone, but somewhere you'd take your friends. You walk up to the counter and ask about how seating works. The guy there is a little confused at you at first. Then he simply tells you to sit wherever your little heart desires. Condescending or just weird? You smile sheepishly at him and ask if there are any recommendations before you go and what takes the longest to make. Quizzical once more, he pauses (briefly) before answering that there's some fish that takes an hour to make and the best thing to order is some beef dish. You nod along and thank him before sitting down.

    Now that you're seated, you should...
    [] Get right back up and order you fool.
    [] Wait there awkwardly.
    [] Try to get into the kitchen, you are really concerned about this chef.

    Ty to walk into the kitchen, because poor chef may be in a predicament.

    You sit down at a table on a slight slant with mismatched cutlery. You immediately get back up and walk back up to the counter. The man looks at you (unapologetically) like you're insane and asks what it is that you want. You tell him that you're going to order the fish that takes an hour. His jaw drops slightly. Just slightly, and then he rings you up and asks if you want anything else. Nope. Nothing at all. You nod along and finish. You catch a glimpse of something as you turn from the counter. Your neutral expression warps into a combination of a frown and a gape. You recognize the chef walking by the door as it flips open. You'd know that shitter anywhere. Anton, you son of a bitch, what are you doing working here?

    You should...
    [] Hide.
    [] Hi.
    [] High tail it out of there.
