This is all getting way ahead of ourselves in the story, but suffice it to say that even at this early point, Valentine Richést was trending, and Bob's plans were ascending.
___
"Hi it's Allie... thanks for the other day… ✨"
Not long after achieving his [Inspiration], Bob was on his lunch break in between University classes, eating hotpot with some friends, including Goku - who was adding MSG seasoning to everything after being hooked from an early age - and Roger - who had lifted his leg onto the bench seat and was critiquing every ingredient - when he felt a *bzzzt* from his phone.
It was a message from... wait, who was this again?!
Oh. That's right! Allie! It was the girl wearing the glasses from the other day.
Ordinarily, he probably would have ignored it as he received many messages from running his Become a Hero Co. and was honestly too busy with his studies and Art of Rizz training to reply to everything. He was human and not that insanely OP after all. But after obtaining his [Inspiration] from the recent Subconscious [Dream State], he suddenly got the feeling that it might be possibly important for him to meet and get to know about this person!
Bob accordingly found a reasonably quiet spot away from the hotpot pandemonium - "The balls are too hard," Roger was explaining. "Not cook enough...!" - and gave her a quick call, since he didn't have that much time to waste messing around with messaging, which wasn't the best medium for Rizz in situations where rapid escalation was required.
No doubt the esteemed readers were keen as always to witness the Art of Rizz in action, which as always happens so quickly and organically for Bob that it is difficult to fully do justice to what is actually going on.
Nevertheless, we would attempt to do so for the purpose of adding to your reading enjoyment ✨
[Disclaimer: At this point, Bob possesses an extremely High Rizz Index, and has many things working in his favour, which makes the following interaction go smoothly. The aspiring noble Rizzmaster should be aware of the higher principles behind the interaction, and not just imitate or copy things blindly.]
*Bob taps 'call'* (Aight, let's start cooking this (hot)plot...)
Allie is studying when her phone rings and she sees the contact name (Oh, It's 'That guy!' lol') *she picks up*
Bob: "Hey... it's Bob. How are you doing?..." These are just words on a page, but Bob, channeling his 9800000000 Rizz alongside his 87500000 level 'Sphere of Intention', conveys a rich, masculine, warm, fun, friendly, and yet genuine and curious tone with just these four words, which immediately signals his care, sincerity and high genetic quality. Such was the power of his Rizz!
Allie: "Hey, I'm good lol. What are you up to?"
Allie could hear the slight people ambience of the hot pot restaurant, which indirectly signalled that Bob was probably a social person - a good sign! She also subconsciously picked up on the care and strength in Bob's tone, and at the same time, the open-ended question immediately allowed Allie to imagine and relive multiple positive scenarios. "Does he mean "How am I doing after that day being 'rizzed'?" Oh yeah... as she began to relive that memory, positive endorphins began to circulate! Or how am I doing now? Oh he cares... This feels good."
Bob: "...Well right now, I'm on my lunch break, and pretty happy actually, since I got to talk to you..." 😛✨ Bob with his exceptional Level 86 Empathy talent, resonated and put himself in her shoes, giving time for her to relive her previous glorious Rizzed experience, before replying.
*Allie snorts* - as her rizz meter slightly increases
*Bob continues*
"Thanks for the message, you're totally welcome, I just did what anyone would do."
Bob's tone conveyed that he genuinely wasn't expecting anything in return, but also that he was open to getting to know her better, which was the truth.
Bob: "What are you up to?" (Here he subconsciously mirrored her question, via his [Automatic Response] ability). "I mean, what do you normally do when you're not getting hit on by guys whilst minding your own business? 😛✨"
*Allie's rizz meter and interest meter rises*
Allie: *laughs* "Uh, I just study and hang out with my girlfriends...?! It's seriously so crazy though..."
Bob came across as a sweet, fun and caring guy, and Allie considered that, since she wasn't ever going to get this kind of genuine human experience as Ice Queen Sally, it would be worthwhile getting to know him better too...
Before long, Bob and Allie were chatting like old friends, and had arranged to catch up for a date...!
___
Meanwhile, the Grand Dark Rizzard Itvasme Dio was in his laboratory, cackling.
Yes... at last, after years of experimentation, he had finally perfected a secret weapon - a secret formula which he had dubbed C2H6O.
Apparently, when added to various drinks, this could lower the Anti-Rizz Index of Ice Queens, making them more amenable to being rizzed, and then...
- He licked his lips - ...After some hustle and a brief tussle, The Dark Rizzards would reign supreme!!!
___
Bob's idea was to figure out how or if Allie was connected to dispelling the Shadows in his dream, whilst Allie of course wanted to find out more about him as per Auntie Bing's instructions. If he was beneficial to their cause, then she would ask Auntie Bing about the next step. But if not... then unfortunately, well then it probably wouldn't end well for him...
___
*In the Winter Palace*
Sally kowtowed as she gave her report.
"Auntie Bing, during my Undercover Mission as Allie, I have managed to secure a meeting with that person who rizzed me from before, Bob..."

BONUS: Owing to popular reader request, the author decided to release another excerpt of Valentine's Video which may hopefully provide some positive energy ✨✨ ✨
"✨~~~Helloooo lovelies and legends~~~ ✨" *Valentine, radiating rizz powered by Bob's 9800000000*5 Rizz Stat, dances onto the speakers stage, immediately melting innumerable hearts into gooey puddles of Anti-Rizz, and making Normal Normans immediately give up on life having witnessed this gold standard of Rizzified manliness.
The audience immediately buzzed with anticipation and delight, feeling like they had just sunk into a hot warm bath, and the atmosphere was tingling with anticipation.
"First of all, thank *you* ✨ That's right, thank *you*. Every single person, every one of you here today, be it in this full-to-capacity hall, or doing life and watching this wherever you may be... you are contributing to the world just by living, breathing, and existing.
Consider this.
For 4 billion years, every single one of your ancestors on both sides found a partner.
Every single one was healthy enough to reproduce.
Every single one was blessed to live long enough to do so.
Every single one of them overcame the many challenges of living, and succeeded in passing on their genetic material to the right partner at the right moment, to create the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that have resulted, astoundingly - in *you*.
So as we begin… thank *You* for just existing ✨✨✨
*applause*
