Sender: The Little Mermaid (The Little Mermaid) | Roxas

Recipient: Everyone except Kotori

I know a lot of people have been busy right now, but I was wondering if anyone had time to answer a few questions.

Specifically... does anyone know much about going on a date? And what to do when on a date? How is it different from just spending time with friends?

[A little later, two specific individuals will get notifications to their journals.]

Sender: The Little Mermaid (The Little Mermaid) | Roxas

Recipient: Lea, Isa

Hey.

I just wanted to let you both know that I think Sora's gone back home.

you sure?

[twilightskey]

I can't find him anywhere, and his name isn't coming up in my journal.

[eternalea]

sorry Roxas. let me know if you need anything alright?

[twilightskey]

I will.

I just... wish I knew where he went. It would be one thing if I knew he was going back to Destiny Islands, but...

The date itself depends on the person since not everyone likes the same things.

As for how it's different, with a friend you just want to have fun and hang out. With a date, it's that, but a lot more intimate and romantic. Like being close, holding hands, kiss.

[HE KEPT IT G RATED OKAY though he would totally say more. But let's not scare off the kid.

Anyway, he's adding an additional message sent privately to him.]

[ PRIVATE MESSAGE TO ROXAS ]

It's Kotori isn't it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Roxas would have replied back publicly, but then he noticed the private message. Oh boy...]

How did you know??

Forever locked~~

[rokubro]

[Wow way to make it THAT EASY.]

Just a guess, thanks for confirming.

[Not complete BS, but he's not going to tell him what he knows.]

[twilightskey]

Oh.

Well, I guess there's no real need to hide it.

I've just never done anything like this before.

[chatwithdeath]

On a date, you intend on typically courting the individual you're taking out. The idea is to entertain your companion while showing off - getting to know them while proving to them you could provide more like this experience. It can end with mixed results.

Now, there's nothing wrong with making an outing with someone you fancy a little more special, but you need to remember, if you intend on being with this person, you shouldn't feel the need to impress them.

[twilightskey]

Wait, I don't get it.

How am I supposed to show off but not impress them?

[chatwithdeath]

Stick to activities and places you know they would like and find things you both would enjoy. I don't think you have to do much for her already, but you could try making her something.

[twilightskey]

Making her something?

That might be a good idea. I think she'd like that. But what should I make?

[forachange]

I don't think dates are very different from spending time with friends, except you love the person in a different way.

My friend Mokey told me about how I was in love once, but I guess we decided I wasn't really? We went on a date, though! We held hands and sang sweet songs.

That was me and Lou, not me and Mokey.

[twilightskey]

That sounds like a lot of fun.

That's all you really did? Hold hands and sing songs?

[forachange]

Well, yeah, and it was lots of fun!

But... I don't know if it counts, because I wasn't really in love with Lou.

[twilightskey]

Oh.

How did you know yo didn't love him?

[blazeoflife]

Well, back in my world, the local cafe at the mall was a good place to start... But it depends on what you know they like?

Being in love is kinda different from just being friends... like, you wanna spend time with them especially, you know? Make them feel special by paying attention to them!

[twilightskey]

Yeah, a lot of people are saying that. I think she would like a cafe or restaurant. She really likes food.

Isn't that what it's like to be a best friend?

[blazeoflife]

Cant blame her, food is delicious...

[He couldn't help but wonder where he'd take someone here in the Index.]

Kiiinda but no.

I mean like. Picture your best friend.

Now try to imagine kissing them.

[Dojima ended up staring a long time at this message, nearly putting his quill to the journal and then pulling back to get more coffee, or do some case work, or ANYTHING ELSE other than respond.

He wasn't good with things like this. He was never good with things like this, but he felt like he owed it to Roxas to reply and not just try to ignore it.]

[Finally, after about a day, Roxas would get a private response]

Who are you talking about?

[twilightskey]

[By this point he's had a couple conversations, so he was surprised about the reply sent his way.]

You mean for the date?

It's Kotori.

[detectiveforhierophant]

Ah, I see.

[It would be a few minutes before Roxas would get another response from Dojima.]

She's a good girl, I can tell.

[Ugh, what was he doing...]

I'm not very good with things like this, but I hope you both have fun.

[afterthemoon]

Are you sure?

[twilightskey]

I think so, yeah. His name isn't in my journal anymore and I haven't seen him.

[afterthemoon]

I see.

We can only hope he found his way back home, then.
