[Linda comes onto the network today actually dressed casually rather than in her patrol uniform; she's wearing a red T-shirt under a gray sweater jacket over jeans and boots. her hair is pulled back in a braid, and the ever-present engagement ring is on her hand. today of all days, she wants to be wearing it. because despite the dome and her relocation, she's still counted the days, and she knows that if none of that had happened, this would be it--this would be her wedding day. and having realized that, it's a thought she can't get out of her head]

Hey, is anybody free today? [her tone is casual, but there's something a little anxious in the way she's standing. she has her hands in front of her and is unthinkingly playing with the ring as well] I'm off, and I don't want to spend the day sitting around alone. I'll take you to lunch--my treat. Or...I don't know, a walk in the gardens, or even some games in the arcade? Maybe a drink at Pugsy's tonight. Sound good to anybody?

[she smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. still, despite the feelings she's fighting, she's determined not to spend today moping. she's going to distract herself with new friends and fun instead]

Never a day goes by that I am not eager to take a stroll around the gardens or put on the old nosebag with good company. But I could not, in all good conscience, allow you to pay. It would not be preux.

[He should probably introduce himself, oughtn't he. He tips his hat to her.]

Bertie Wooster, at your service.

I can't promise I'd be real good company, but I go to the diner about every day if you'd like to join me today.

[Una's been busy. She feels terribly drained, but is putting on her best brave face, and smiles at Linda.]

I'd be happy to join you for a drink.

Una Persson. A pleasure to meet you.

Sure, I'd like to hang out some time. I don't get a lot of people at my shop around lunch.
