Character Short: Chloe Nietzsche

***Character Short: Chloe Nietzsche*** is the fourth character short of *The Alan 10 Adventures*.

## Plot

*[Alan tapped the Stabilized Simplicitrix, causing it to retract into a band around his hand. He then slid on a white button up shirt, then matching red velvet suit jacket and pants, as well as putting his cowboy boots back on. He tapped the Simplicitrix again, being swarmed with red energy only to appear identical to his human self, having become Intimachi. He paced around the foyer in front of the staircase.]*

Chloe: No tie? Can't say I'm surprised.

*[Intimachi turned his attention to the top of the staircase, his eyes widening when he saw Chloe standing at the top in a tight, shiny, blue dress, as well as black heels. Her hair was done up in a bun.]*

Intimachi: ...Holy fuck.

Chloe: I'll take that as a compliment.

*[Chloe slowly made her way to the bottom, seeing Intimachi's concerned look.]*

Chloe: What?

Intimachi: Are you sure this is... gonna help?

Chloe: *[sighs]* Just... try not to bring it up.

Intimachi: Yeah, yeah, okay.

*[The two of them stepped outside walking towards the Scion, the sun setting in the distance.]*

Intimachi: We're still on for *Phantom of the Opera* next week, yeah?

Chloe: Absolutely. What I want this week, what you want next week.

*[The two gave each other soft smiles before getting into the car. The two drove off and eventually came up to a fancy looking ballroom within the city, parking on the road next to the sidewalk. The two got back out, Intimachi having a slightly worried look on his face as he looked around.]*

Chloe: Worried about the price?

Intimachi: Considering this is for you, absolutely not. It's just... There are a *lot* of people here. I'm not exactly a social butterfly.

Chloe: You danced with Weiss.

Intimachi: That was a much smaller group, and it only happened cause she wanted to get my mood up.

Chloe: Well, now *you* get to cheer *me* up with a dance.

*[Chloe pulled Alan along, leading him into the ballroom. Chloe talked with some of the guests while Intimachi stood awkwardly by her, then the two of them are at the long dinner table off to the side before eventually getting up for a slow dance. Foosteps approached them.]*

Voice: May I cut in?

*[The two of them turned, looking surprised to see Ember there. She wore a deep orange dress that went down to her knees and had a thigh high slit in it, and she wore long black gloves to cover up her arm bruises. She had her bangs curved to wrap around the right side of her face, and had black red mascara.]*

Ember: Hey guys.

Jesscia: Ember?

Intimachi: Wow.

Ember: *[blushing]* Thanks. So, may I?

*[Intimachi and Chloe separated, Ember stepping in and grabbing Chloe's hand, and the two of them began dancing, with Intimachi stepping off to the side and standing awkwardly at the punch bowl. As the two danced, Ember glanced over at Intimachi.]*

Ember: So, why can I smell Fæ on him?

Chloe: With that big, clunky gauntlet, he uses his Incubus form to blend in.

Ember: Smart boyfriend.

Chloe: Smartest dumbass I know.

*[Ember chuckled and the two danced a bit closer. After a few minutes, Ember looked over and saw Intimachi getting antsy from social awkwardness. Ember chuckled a bit.]*

Ember: Mind if I dance with him for a bit?

Chloe: Sure.

*[Chloe motioned to Intimachi and he came over, taking the lead in the dance as Chloe went over to grab a drink, turning back and smiling at the two. Someone approached and put their hand out.]*

Voice: Care to dance.

*[Chloe turned and her smile turned to absolute terror as the person was revealed to be Samael, giving her a dark smirk in return. She gasped and stepped back, looking around to see the room become totally empty aside from the two of them. Samael grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, his eyes glowing.]*

Samael: Don't worry, everything is going to be *normal*.

*[Samael's trigger word echoed as Chloe jumped awake, breathing heavily. She looked around and saw Alan laying next to her still asleep. Breathing heavily she laid back down, getting closer to him. The scene then panned up, showing red dust near the vent in the ceiling.]*
