Chapter #6Skip to Coffee by: Reset  "Are you sure this looks good?" Claire asked, looking in the bathroom mirror one last time. The two had briefly stopped by the breakroom to grab a pair of clothes Claire had brought with her. It was a simple outfit - black jeans and blue blouse. "Maybe she wouldn't notice if we ran to my apartment first..." Chris had let Claire take control of their body for the moment, not really wanting to dress her or pilot them for the outing with Mandy.
'Claire it's fine, this isn't even actually a date you could go wearing anything,' Chris assured her.
"But I need to make a good impression!" She complained as she searched around her purse, pulling out some makeup.
'Claire, just go, you're probably keeping her waiting. If you waste time putting on makeup I might just retake control,' Chris said. Claire sighed and put it away, straightening her bra before she walked out of the bathroom.
"You better be right Chris," she muttered. "I can't mess this up."
"Ah! Hey Claire!" Mandy called from the front, still dressed in her staff uniform. "Flo didn't give you too much trouble did she?"
"No, not at all! She just put in an order for a new fridge," Claire replied, her eyes perked up and a smile on her face. Flo had actually chastised her a bit for the whole thing, but she didn't want to bring Mandy down. It had to be a good first date after all!
"That's good to hear," Mandy said, seeming relieved. "There's a nice place down the street that just opened up I think, want to head over?"
"Lead the way!" Claire said back with a smile on her face, excited to finally be making some progress with her younger coworker.

Ten minutes later, the two - or three - were seated at a cafe not that far from the store. It was nice out, so they took a seat outside as they drank their coffee. Mandy had ordered a sandwich, but Claire was a bit nervous, so held back from eating. They chitchatted about the weather and work for a bit, but it was all small talk. Claire eventually got up, claiming she had to use the bathroom, in order to take a moment to speak with Chris.
"I don't think i'm getting anywhere good here," Claire complained to Chris as she paced back and forth the empty bathroom.
'Well yeah you ain't talking about anything interesting,' Chris replied. 'Try to find out what she likes.'
"I don't need to do it the hard way with you in here," Claire shot back. "Tell me what you know about her! Does she like sports maybe? Music?"
If Chris had control of Claire's face, he would smirk. 'Actually, I do know something she likes. You know how I watch a lot of anime?'
"You mean those weird, flashy cartoons?" she asked.
'Yeah, those. Mandy's actually pretty into them - it's how we started talking. If you asked her about a show she liked, I bet it'd get her attention fast.'
Claire put a hand to her forehead in frustration. "I don't know anything about that, but fine. I'm going to need your help - you need to take control!"
'You sure? Might not be good for the long term if she dates you for me and not you. I don't want to share your bod forever after all.'
"Just this once! Now c'mon, let's shift before someone comes in here," Claire asserted.
'Alright alright. Just give me a sec, gonna retake the reigns.'  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
