Jarven got up. Don't worry, it's only a d---Wait, YES! WORRY! This is a date! You have to get prepared! Jarven looked down at the armor he had been sleeping in. Oh, man. Am I in need of some work, or what?...He quickly left the ship, locking the door before he shut it; for the pilot's sake. He tried to hold his sleepy head and, soon, he remembered that he had bacta gloves on his hands. The metal from the gloves clonked him on the head. Ouch!
Taking off the gloves, he found that most of the damage was healed, but his hands still showed the stress of the beating he gave that wall. He went down the street to find the nearest public data terminal. He typed away in search of sites that could give him ideas for dinner. He found some ideas and instructions and jotted them down onto his commputer's notepad.
He left the terminal and started making his way to the Dragon Palace Casino. On the way, he remembered that the majority of the population had been raptured...He grinned an evil, little grin to himself. Looks like money's not going to be an issue. I have the whole city peruse through for tonight.
He went to a nearby clothing store and found that it had been halfway pillaged. After taking the time to search and contemplating what one wears to a first date, he settled on this combination.

When he got to the alcohol store, he found it had been completely pillaged. Wow. I guess alcohol is essential in any apocalyptic situation. Jarven became frustrated at this situation. He figured that the owner of such a place MUST have kept a secret stash SOMEWHERE. Once again heading off into the normally restricted parts of the store, he found an office. He went to the desk and tried every desk drawer. He couldn't find ANYTHING. In his frustration he quickly shut the last drawer near the bottom right hand side. He heard the sliding of a glass container and the bump of glass on wood. Confused, he opened the drawer and pawed through the few possessions left inside. He tapped the bottom of the drawer, which appeared to be higher up than the other drawers, and it made a hollow sound. Bingo. He punched through the thin slate and picked the wooden pieces out. He reached in and pulled out a bottle of red wine. He didn't know what year it was, but it appeared to be very valuable.
He rushed back to the kitchens of the Dragon Palace Casino and changed into his new clothing. He was highly fortunate to find a chef still working there. His name was Hermano Hemenez Hunior. With a little finangling and the chef's appetite for a good love story, he was able to enlist Hermano into helping him cook up chicken, some bread rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, and finally, a platter of homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Antecedent
6 a.m.
Jarven woke up in his hammock that was set up in the back of the transport shuttle that was the Handwave Express. *Yawn!* The pilot must not have wanted to wake me up. Jarven stretched and settled down again...only to sit up quickly as he remembered what today was about. "Oof!" said Jarven as his weight unbalanced the hammock, which suddenly decided he was unwelcome and deposited him on the floor unceremoniously. Jarven got up. Don't worry, it's only a d---Wait, YES! WORRY! This is a date! You have to get prepared! Jarven looked down at the armor he had been sleeping in. Oh, man.

8 a.m.
Once he had gotten to the casino, he had made his way for the employee refresher, getting a shower, reshaving his fur, and trimming his facial hair, so as not to be so scruffy looking. He left the refresher and quickly looked around for something to wear. His armor needed to be put through a wash. He found a simple white tee shirt and jeans, figuring that they would be good enough for now. He headed back out into the city to go "shopping".He went to a nearby clothing store and found that it had been halfway pillaged. After taking the time to search and contemplating what one wears to a first date, he settled on this combination.

10 a.m.
Jarven was perusing through an abandoned floral shop. All of the flowers on the show floor were dead from a lack of attention and power for the lighting. He went into the restricted, "employees only" section and found their preservation systems. These had been running on a backup generator that was going to give out in 12 hours. He started looking at all of the name tags for each of the flowers. Exotic Dogweed, Space Lily, Tigerdil, Opaque Posies...They were all beautiful, but none of them spoke volumes to him. They were all SO varied that he couldn't tell whether or not she would like them. And then, he found it...the labeling tag called it a "Rose". Never before had he seen anything like it, and the tag went on to list how rare it was. It was a deep red, much like Patricia's favorite dress, so he took it out, and carefully followed the packaging instructions on the wall for preservation. When he got to the alcohol store, he found it had been completely pillaged. Wow. I guess alcohol is essential in any apocalyptic situation. Jarven became frustrated at this situation. He figured that the owner of such a place MUST have kept a secret stash SOMEWHERE. Once again heading off into the normally restricted parts of the store, he found an office. He went to the desk and tried every desk drawer. He couldn't find ANYTHING. In his frustration he quickly shut the last drawer near the bottom right hand side. He heard the sliding of a glass container and the bump of glass on wood. Confused, he opened the drawer and pawed through the few possessions left inside. He tapped the bottom of the drawer, which appeared to be higher up than the other drawers, and it made a hollow sound. Bingo. He punched through the thin slate and picked the wooden pieces out. He reached in and pulled out a bottle of red wine. He didn't know what year it was, but it appeared to be very valuable.
1 p.m.
Jarven now had to find a movie and figure out where to cook up the food. He wanted to have the food cooked up before he got there, so that it was fresh and he didn't have to waste her time. He went to the Red Box Store, which was the latest movie rental fad to have come out in these neck of the woods/galaxy. He sifted through the barely functioning monitor to find a movie. There were so many and he didn't know which one she would possibly like. He picked out 3 movies, just to get some variety: The Adjustment Bureau, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and (The Spongebob Movie. lol jk) The Notebook. He was already nervous and without a clue, so he hoped that his "shooting in the dark" would work out.He rushed back to the kitchens of the Dragon Palace Casino and changed into his new clothing. He was highly fortunate to find a chef still working there. His name was Hermano Hemenez Hunior. With a little finangling and the chef's appetite for a good love story, he was able to enlist Hermano into helping him cook up chicken, some bread rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, and finally, a platter of homemade chocolate chip cookies.
4:45
Taking advantage of a car left open with the key in the ignition, Jarven transported himself and his haul to Patricia's apartment and got up to her room. A little early. I hope she doesn't mind. He rang her door bell, the items in his arms.
