He likes this bar that is why he has arranged to meet her here. It's his first date bar. Ever since to move to this city, he had to find a comfortable place to go out to and meet with friends. It was just within walking distance on the city's most fashionable high Street. It has just gone five in the afternoon he was drinking coffee and the bar was quiet. He didn't like drinking on its own and is far too early to drink anything alcoholic unless of course you were an alcoholic which he most assuring wasn't.

She walked in and stood by the door moment hesitantly as if at any moment she may change your mind and exit outward again. She scanned around the empty bar and their eyes met. Hello you look quite a lot why your photo which is lucky as a lot of people you meet off these sites look nothing like their descriptions. “Would you like something to drink”? “Yes okay I'll go to the bar”.

“Now Malcolm it's your first day and the first thing you need to know is not to get the red and white wires mixed up”. “Red is a fluid in and white as a fluid out, okay that is a most important thing other than that everything else is secondary just keep the place tidy”. “If you get the wires mixed up we'll end up with the dead client a week or so and that is not good for business”.” Okay Mr Tibbs, let's wake this one up”.

“Hello Mr Tibbs how is your experience”? “It’s okay no need to talk yet just nod your head you’ve been hooked to the machine good few hours now and it may take a while your motor skills to return”. “Now you've chosen the 21st century relationship experience”. “Now that's good it tends to be a shorter experience than the mediaeval romance package but it has the advantage of not lasting a lifetime but then again if you choose peasant in the mediaeval experience you’re usually dead from overworked by the time your 35 anyway or if you choose Regent usually dead of syphilis and by the time he hit your early 50s”. “The package isn't very popular with the ladies, either as they spend most of their time barefoot or pregnant whichever class are born into”. “So chances are you'd be interacting with a VR replicant rather than Real person anyway”.

“Now the 21st century experience is much different”. “How do you like the way your first date is gone so far”? “Well she seems very nice will it last this relationship”? “Well we don't like to give everything away Mr Tibbs but your experience will probably last between three to five years”.” Oh only that long”? “Yes you have studied this period in history at all haven’t you”? “Well no I mean history records what happened in 2020 but I have always considered it a pretty dull period”. “I just wanted to experience companionship as our ancestors lived back before we became completely unisex”. “Well really being honest with you, you did not really choose the best period for this”.

Still at least you’ve not chosen the celebrity package which is also sometimes also called the brain-dead package, the typical relationship experience is about six months you would be shaded orange and you would appear on the cover of a lot of cut-price tacky magazines written for the largely illiterate population. Typically those relationships would end with a lot of recrimination and arguing outside nightclubs and a short period in rehab or a suicide bid.

“Now you've chosen the average citizen of the male designation”. “You'll find in this period watching violent combat sports are frowned upon but the watching violent movies and play violent games on the computer is very acceptable”.” You'll probably work in some dull boring office clerking job if you can find a job at all when leaving university”.

“Your father would not have been able to give you any advice about 21st-century relationships as they differ quite strongly that the relationships of the preceding 2000 years”. “This is not his fault as this change happened at the time called the 1960s when a lot of very forward thinking scientists decided to tinker around with biology to the first time”. “The people of this era are living in the after effects of this major sociological event and don't know how to adapt”. “Luckily in our era we’ve done away with romance and love but people like you do insist on trying out these silly notions that are why the VR romance experience pods were developed”.
“Well that is all very well but I came here to experience love and intimacy”. “You sad individual don't you know true love is impossible now, it's a biological fact that only the men and women of the past could experience the heights of emotion that had been robbed from muted world”. “Tell me have you ever considered the Roman era”? “Well I've not really thought about it”. “Well you should you can experience the past in flesh and blood, all manners of sickness and disease joy, anger and regret emotions of which you can barely dream”. “It is so much better than these VR experiences of the pitiful century”.

“Why be a 21st-century office drone when you could be a Roman gladiator for real”. “Wouldn’t that be dangerous”? Yes but that's all part of the thrill to live and die by the sword”. “Yes but I really came here to experience love not to kill people, the most transcendent of experiences which surely unites the tribulations of all ages”. Does the era really matter that much for an experience transcending biology and mere function that operates unto the highest form of art and passion? Now that is why you should choose a more primitive age can you not see, science has destroyed love? To live vitally is to live in ignorance. “Poor deluded fool you can have anything within here all you,ve got to do is put on the goggles and play the game”. “Do you want plugging back in”?
