The Reluctant Tutor

Hook Line and Sinker

Hook: This is an encounter for a male character with an academic (eg., physicalist, historian, etc.) background. While at a bar, a waitress shows him a great deal of attention.

Line: Finally, she asks if he can come to her apartment later that evening, and is very friendly when asking. A few minutes later, her sister, a nearly identical twin, shows up for work, and does the same thing.

Sinker: The PC will be in for a big surprise when he arrives at the first woman's apartment; after she leaves him in the living room and says she's going to be back in 'something more comfortable', she returns wearing a sweat suit and carrying several books and notepads. It seems that she recognized the character from work he had published a while back, and wanted him to help tutor her for an upcoming test. She apologizes for any inconvenience it may have caused. If asked about her sister, she says that they are both in the same class, and have a running bet as to who will do better on the test.
