At least it would make the job less unpleasant, and able to further push off the vacation to avoid suspicion.As much as you want to shove your head into the ice blender for listening to all the gossip in every which way about "Stretch Girl", there is some benefit you suppose to hearing what average folks have to say and what they think about the new supervillain in Malton. It would be too easy to just continue withdrawing from the world and focus on being a supervillain without ever knowing or caring about your place in society. Maybe there's nothing wrong with that... you don't particularly care for other people on a good day, but at the same time you don't want Carrie Cross to be forgotten to the world. Secretly, and only secretly of course, you'd prefer if you were a popular social butterfly! But you're not really cut out for that, probably too late to change now that you're twenty and emotionally bitter about the whole thing.
Bah! But if you can't have that, well there's nothing wrong with trying to make new friends, if only so that it makes your job a little less miserable.
<span class="mu-g">"Huh? You wanna come out with us?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Umm... yeah, i-if you don't mind?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"I mean it's usually on the weekend we go out, but I guess we could do something after work? Lemme ask Millie."</span>
Monday you have the idea, Tuesday you wrack your brain over how to approach the matter, and Wednesday you manage to work up the courage to finally ask. Unfortunately in this day-and-age, for most people their job isn't some fun place to hang out together and treat co-workers as friends. Or certainly a wageslave job at Barstucks isn't the place for that, and you aren't the only one who normally tries to just do the job and not want to be bothered about it after checking out and just going home. A few of your co-workers though know each other outside work, and Travis in particular asked you out with them before. Of course you get the impression he's into you and would want things to go the way of dating, which wouldn't be the worst thing you suppose, but for now you're just interested in spending time with these people and getting to know them better.
Ostensibly to better know and gauge how the common citizenry think and feel about Stretch Goals, but then it wouldn't be the worst thing if you became familiar with people other than your two only friends. Unfortunately since it's not the weekend you probably won't be able to spend time with everyone of the usuals outside work, but a few to start with isn't so bad. Travis of course, Millie, Rachel, Quentin, sometimes Davonne. They're the ones who don't just keep to themselves at work, who you're most likely to hang out with beyond job hours.
