"Hey! You've reached Skye. Leave a message. I mean, if you want to. Or uh, don't. Whatever."

Hey, relax. It's just a date. Not rocket science.

First, you talk about what you want to do together. It's good to come prepared with a few ideas. Good first date ideas include: a nice dinner together, eating ice cream while you walk around somewhere romantic and chat, a movie-- provided you chat afterwards... you know, that kind of thing. Anything that gives you an excuse to hold hands and talk about stuff.

[corviform]

Y-Yes, we're going to a movie and... dinner.

[ It's easier to let Kenzi pick the movie since he doesn't know much about them after two years. ]

What sort of things should I talk about?

[hackitude]

You know, you don't have to act any differently to how you regularly do. I mean-- she likes you, so that means she already likes how you interact normally.

[corviform]

Is that alright...? Is it that simple?

whommppp sorry it's been a rough couple of days

[hackitude]

It's literally that simple. Don't over-think it. The more you over-think it, the more you're likely to put your foot in your mouth or have some kind of nervous breakdown, knowing you.

no worries

[corviform]

No such thing will happen!

[hackitude]

Yeah, I don't think you'd find anyone in Heropa willing to take that bet.

[corviform]

Who's making bets now?!

[ He's not that much of a coward in the face of a date!

... He completely is. ]

[hackitude]

Uh, nobody. Because the odds are completely one-sided. That's the point.

1/2

[corviform]

S-Skye!

[corviform]

Are you trying to help me or make me feel worse...?!

[hackitude]

I'm just telling it like it is! Hey, the first step is admitting you have a problem.

[corviform]

W-Wha...

[ He sounds absolutely affronted. ]

I don't have a problem!

[hackitude]

... Ahuh.

[Silence on the other end of the line. Can you feel the judgement.]

[corviform]

I don't!

[ Weh. ]

[hackitude]

Oooookay. You just... continue on in denial-land there buddy.

[corviform]

I... I already explained why I...

[ He can only groan in frustration. ]

[hackitude]

You're gonna need to up your game before your date, dude.

[corviform]

My...

[ A pause. ]

I'm sorry?

[hackitude]

It can mean loads of things, but it this case I'm using it to mean your ability to stay cool under pressure.

[corviform]

I can do that! This is... different!

[hackitude]

I disbelieve.

[corviform]

Stop that!

[hackitude]

[Cheekily:]

Stop what?

[corviform]

[ Huffing! ]

W-Why did I even bother?

[ What sort of friend doubts another's ability to go on dates?? Terrible. :( ]
