the pleasure is all mine

A man in a suit came to my house to see about “investing in my education”. I had to give him this long-winded presentation on why he should give me a scholarship, essentially. He was not impressed by my appeals, and he declined to fund me. Still, I tried to make some pleasant conversation before he made his leave. He dryly mentioned that he would be going to his son’s birthday party later that afternoon, but he had neglected to hire entertainment for the occasion. Apparently his son was a huge fan of superheroes. Lucky for me, I had two superhero roomates who could help me win the investor’s favor.
