Collins MMBC Intro

July 8th, 2016.

By Bridgeport standards, it was a beautiful, clear day. For July, the heat wasn’t unbearable. Pleasantly warm, a gentle breeze.
Oh, and none of the guests were hit by flying rose thorns, which is always a plus.

…

[Ayele Russo]: What’s up?
[Missy Collins]: Just… thinking.
[Ayele]: About what?

…

[Missy]: …About what Sharwin’s been saying. Y'know. Doing a BC.

[Ayele]: You’re gonna do it?
[Missy]: Well… Iunno. It’s just, now that more normal ones have finished recently, and Lichen’s going off to compete in one in August…

[Lichen Hara]: [very loudly] Somebody call??
[Ayele, Missy (both off-screen)]: Hi, Lichen.

[Ayele (still off-screen)]: Could you please quiet down??

[Lichen]: [still kinda loud] What’s going on out here??
[Missy]: …Talkin’bout BCs.
[Ayele]: Missy possibly getting her own BC, really.
[Lichen]: !!
[Missy]: Oh, don’t get too excited. Who’d even enter? Who’d come date some computer nerd with anger issues and an inability to keep her suspenders fastened?
[Ayele]: Missy–
[Lichen]: [at a normal volume] You’re actually a computer whiz, somebody with a lot of emotions–yes, including anger, but also the sweeter stuff–and a lot of, ahem, experience.
[Missy]: Thanks?
[Ayele]: Not even to mention that one of the sweet memories of high school I have is a kiss to die for…
[Missy]: NOT THE BEST WORDING.
[Ayele]: Shit, you’re right. …Well, you get my point.

…

[Missy]: I dunno about this…

[Lichen]: [very loud, again] MISSY. DO IT. GET A BACHELORETTE CHALLENGE.
[Missy]: Okay, okay!! Maybe. I’ll think about it.
[Ayele]: Haven’t you been thinking about it?
[Missy]: …I’ll think about it more.

[Ayele]: How would we do it, though? Like, we could know a guy, but I don’t think we know a guy. We could enter a sweepstakes, but I don’t think they’ll be doing that for a while after the most recent sweepstakes BC. We could fork out money, but we…
[Missy]: …Don’t have that kinda money.
[Lichen]: Hmm…
[Missy]: Or we could do something a little smaller scale? I know Ian’s been wanting something more interesting than another damn Mentos-in-Diet-Coke video. …That’s a little more my style, anyway. YouTube instead of TV.
[Ayele]: …We still need money, though. We need the funds for a place to do the BC and for the challenges.
[Missy]: Shit.
[Lichen]: Yeah, if only we knew a guy whose section of his family has way too much money than they know what to do with and whose dad is known to be way too generous for his own good…

…

[Noé Hara]: [sigh]

…

[Lichen (off-screen)]: [really loud again] Wow, he heard us from out here?
[Missy (off-screen)]: We hear the neighbors fucking every other night through the walls. ‘Course he can hear us.
