There was a lot of weird s**t going on. Shiloh was kinda determined to get to the bottom of it, but it was also hard when your supposed best friend was like your past abuser and they didn't know anything about it. It was even more awkward when they were apparently reported missing despite being... not missing.

Melancholies to: SHY-LOH!!!! omg! SUSHI were so going to sushi dress nice nerd!!!
She even included a pin and the Yelp page. Bistro Anju.
She met him there, her hair tucked up on top of her head, eyelids brushed with something blue that sparkled in gold tones. "I still got this one," she said. "I picked. I dunno, I just wanted to do something nice with you! I feel like no one's been talking to me lately except you."

Did... did Shiloh have anything that looked nice? He honestly wasn't sure.
After a quick cursory look into his closet, he found out that yes, he did have nice clothes for once. He could only assume they were because the other him and the other jamie (othermie? otherloh...) had a little more money to their name and an already substantial relationship, so they probably did the wild willy date stuff every now and again. At least, he assumed that was why.
Okay, shirt without offensive garbage (check) nice jacket (nice... ish jacket check) everything else relatively the same (check). It was probably as nice as Shiloh was going to get. He was secretly thankful he wouldn't be grabbing the bill, because it looked way too ritzy for his tastes. Melany was way too ritzy for his tastes.
A few bus hops, some walking, some creative finagling... he made it there eventually. Was he ever going to get used to a Melany that was a good few inches shorter than him? Probably not, no. Nor would he ever get used to the caps, or the excitement, or the genuine will to want to do things with him like it was no big deal.
"Really?" He tilted his head, something vague and standoffish still in the back of his eyes, but he was doing okay so far. No panicking. "That's kinda weird." This coming from 'I also blew you off for a few weeks Shiloh Beaumont'.
"Here, we can talk more inside." He was kinda starving... "But y'know, I can grab at least half the bill. I offered to pay first." This was going well, no awkward pausing, he had this. It was cool.

"Hey, it's totally professional. If you stopped by you'd see just how professional it is." He rolled his eyes. "I'm just sayin' I offered."
He tried to ignore how uncanny she was to the old Melany; his Melany. It made sense though, right? They were both Melany, so... his head was starting to hurt again. He suddenly felt severely under dressed, but he shook it off. "That's really weird though." He reiterated. "So it's like, everyone? I mean I obviously texted you, so I guess it's still on..." Surely Melany still would have her own little friend groups and whatever, right? She had mentioned the study group, and she seemed a lot more outgoing than he was.
He pursed his lips.
"There's been a lot of weird stuff happening lately though, I guess..."

"Heeey I might be in the mood for somethin' different, y'know." He didn't seem too mad despite it, especially considering he had no ******** idea what a dragon roll was. It sounded cool though? Or the mango homosmack that Melany ordered along with it. It'd still probably taste good.
Still, he was sliding the phone over as the waiter came by, the pictures being a lot of really goofy selfies of Jamie's over-the-top reactions to everything. The boat was a swan and it looked vaguely realistic. "There was some really funky stuff in there though. Like it started off normal? And then halfway through there were some half naked people on a unicorn or some weird s**t." He snorted. "I'd probably check it out again if it shows up next year."
His eyes suddenly lit up as he recalled other strange Valentine happenings, "There was this photobooth outside of the grocery store too that wasn't there the other day. I think it was some sort of commemorative thing, 'cause it was totally free." He reached over and started tabbing through his pictures. There were a couple random pics between the actually gushy Valentine ones, namely of his turtle and Jamie's crazy a** fish, before he reached a lower quality image of the pic from the booth. "It's creepy though, 'cause it's got ghost teddy grahams in the back." There was a ghost hand behind Jamie's head too, and a few vines sneaking out from under his beanie.
He already felt exhausted, but the chatter was still actually kind of pleasant.

"This detective came up to me at the coffeeshop yesterday," Melany confided, "asking if I knew I'd been reported missing. Like, by who? He said someone at work, but why would work report me missing when I've been turning up every day for practice? It doesn't make sense." She shrugged, and laughed, and said, "And I guess I passed out on him."
She fell quiet for a moment, and her self-deprecating smile faded. "I kept hearing someone calling me," she said. "Her voice was high and clear and cold. She kept saying my name. Over and over. And I don't know how I knew, but I, I knew if I answered her and went to find her, I'd never come back."
