week three | dates
Here we go again.
You all better kiss.
You all better kiss.
Luka and Maya are taken to the beach. Yep, it's a simple beach date here!
Highlights
- There's a little beach bar with fresh coconuts!
- It's not as crowded as you might expect.
- They will have time to pack a picnic beforehand if they want.
[ oh, the beach! luka hadn't been sure what maya had planned and he would earnestly go wherever, but this is...nice. quieter in a way he usually doesn't get and it would be sea themed, wouldn't it? he is of course dressed appropriately as always. ]
It's not the moon. [ he says dumbly with a small smile, getting used to the sensation of the sand beneath his feet. ]

Luka and Nico are taken to an antique store. It's after hours and the shop is rented out just for them to peruse so they can take their time and browse all the knick knacks.
Highlights
- The shop is larger than you might expect! Deceptively big.
- You might find some things from your home world.
- There is an old man at the counter who is half asleep.
[ they haven't spoken much since the first week, but with same-sex pairings being more common and odile mentioning their theoretical compatibility, here they are!
this is not an outfit to go knick-knack shopping in, but luka had no idea what to expect tbh. ]
There's so much clutter. [ how do you even start to shop in a store like this, he doesn't know what half these things are. ]

Luka and Yingying are taken to rooftop bar. It's trendy. It's vibrant. It's worthy of the gram.
Highlights
- They make trending cocktails from tiktok.
- The bar food is mid.
- The view is great.
[ fit as always, we glam it up. bars really aren't his scene but since its with yingying, its fine. he'll take her arm as always, looking out at the lights and the vibe. ]
Maybe I'll be the one feeling sleepy this time~. [ he's kidding but if he actually manages to drink this thread.... ]

Luka and Verso are taken to Medieval Times. It's dinner and a show, baby!
Highlights
- Check out their website for more.
- It's actually kind of peak.
- The food is good.
[ this is gonna be some hell of a location for both of them. luka's dressed more like a prince than someone who's here for a show and greasy chicken, but ain't that just reality.
as they walk in, he looks at the crests on the wall. ]
Are there actual horses here?

Luka and Serpilia are taken to Akihabara. Wait, weren't we in some nebulous non-specific country of choice? Don't think about it too hard!
Highlights
- Lots of little stores to get lost in.
- Watch out for all the otaku.
- But there is a maid cafe nearby!
[ it's not taco bell! fit as required. ]
This looks more familiar, at least. [ he looks up at all the lights as he says this, with a wry smile. ]

Edamura and Maya are taken to a gachapon arcade. Pull, pull, pull!
Highlights
- They will find things from their home worlds in the machines.
- Each machine costs a 10 yen coin.
- You can get coins at the counter if you need.
[. . . WAH!!]
[it's instinct, the way he dips his hand into his pocket to search for spare coins. he finds none, and a brief flicker of disappointment crosses his features. . . before he realizes that they can just get coins at the counter and starts meandering in that direction]
If we try really hard, do you think we can clear out the entire house?
[bean]

Edamura and Rom are taken to an arcade. It's loud, it's chaotic, it's incredibly fun.
Highlights
- There's slushies.
- And giant stuffed animals as prizes.
- Please game responsibly!
[. . . somehow, this feels targeted!! but he doesn't seem too bothered as he roams from machine to machine, at least openly curious. video games aren't his thing but he does not hate them]
I bet arcade games are a bit more difficult to stream online. . .

Edamura and Shoko are taken to a classic style izakaya. There is beer. There is karaage. There is takoyaki. Enjoy! Wait, didn't I say that last week?
Highlights
- It's the same exact spot as last week.
- But the food's still really good.
- They will remember Shoko.
[time to wash away all those greasy cheesy pretzel memories with a nice serving of sake and sashimi!!]
There's something to be said for trying something new, and something to be said for enjoying old comforts. This week, we're definitely the latter.

Edamura and Odile are taken to a crowded mall. It's almost like there's a holiday coming up soon. But... there isn't, right?
Highlights
- This is pre-Christmas level crowd.
- But the deals are ah-may-zing.
- Don't get split up!
Edamura and Furina are taken to an improv class. Which Al is only requesting because she knows I do improv irl. That means this class is only a drop in improv class instead of improv 101. You're just here for the day~!
Highlights
- The class is fun and physical.
- The teacher is kind and helps them get comfortable with the others.
- You do play zip, zop, zap.
[IT'S TRUE I DID KNOW!!!!]
[despite his career (. . . "career"), Edamura has actually never been to a class like this before. thank goodness the teacher is giving them a demonstration instead of just throwing them into the deep end]
. . . have you ever done something like this before, Furina?

Edamura and Serpilia are taken to a coffee shop. It's just a chill little neighborhood spot. They grind their own beans and make their own pastries.
Highlights
- The baristas are happy, genuinely.
- The place smells amazing.
- There's some nice spots with cozy couches and armchairs.
Edamura and Ringo are taken to play extreme bumper cars. Be careful, don't die.
Highlights
- The prizes are really great stuff. iPads and video games and just generally really expensive shit.
- It's every man for themselves!
- Best two out of three?
[this is not quite as frightening as bungee jumping, but he still looks a bit dubious as they wait in line, watching everyone bump chaotically around the course. a few people look like they might get thrown from their vehicles? hello???]
Are. . . they sure this is safe?

Edamura and Messmer are taken to the Pokemon Cafe. They will be given Eevee and Pikachu ears to wear. They will eat so much food.
Highlights
- No really, the food is great.
- It's just all Pokemon themed.
- Edamura, you know Pokemon, right?
[closes eyes. he is Japanese. of course he knows. he was probably a Pokemon kid! but he is not a Pokemon adult]
[adjusting the ears on his head (SIB CHOOSE PIKACHU OR EEVEE FOR MESSMER) as he stares at the giant mascot waltzing around the cafe]
At least it's nostalgic. . .

Rom and Aventurine are taken to a cocktail bar. Low music, low lighting, low ... energy? It's a nice place for a chat.
Highlights
- There isn't much in the way of bar food.
- The drinks are high class.
- Rom might get some Looks for being out of place.
[ LOOK ... look ... let it never be said that Rom is a bad undercover ghost rumor investigator ... he can fit in just fine when he puts his mind to it okay!!! Which is to say he isn't completely blended in, but he's at least relatively dressed down for the occasion. He even left the hat at the estate! Just his usual unruly fluffy hair for the night.
Still. He's looking around a little curiously as they enter. He does absently pull a chair out for Aventurine and indicates for him to sit, but as he pulls out his own seat, he gives a brief laugh. ]
I may need to follow your lead while we're here, Mr. Aventurine. This isn't really my kind of joint. [ Obviously. ]

Rom and Odile are taken to a tea shop. It's regal, it's fancy, it's got 1000 different teas (or more!).
Highlights
- It's definitely an oooooold shop. Passed down through generations.
- They have their own specific brews as well as the classics.
- Bring some back to the estate!
[ ... this feels weirdly nostalgic, but like, in a neutral way, not necessarily a good way. Rom's demeanor is the same as ever, but he does seem to glance around a little more than usual as they enter. And as Odile begins to peruse the teas on offer, Rom leans in to ask, ]
I don't suppose you'd be able to recommend something for me? Something not too earthy or bitter.

Rom and Ringo are taken to a classic American 50's style diner. The vibes are peak. It's retro af. Truly goated.
Highlights
- They can play music on the jukebox.
- Even the waitstaff is dressed on brand.
- The milkshakes are amazing.
[ Oh? He's never been in this sort of vibe before -- it's not bad. Sure, he stands out like a sore thumb, but even the waitstaff seem more amused than they do miffed. Rom smiles as he hands Ringo a menu across the table before flipping open his own. ]
I suppose we won't go hungry while discussing matters, at least.

Rom and Poppy are taken to an arcade. It's the exact same one Edamura and Rom went to.
Highlights
- Plushies.
- Slushies.
- And more!
[ You know what -- he's not even mad that it's his second time here. The location is fine, and already knowing where all the ghosties are hanging out makes this more relaxing than having to scope out a new date location. Rom's even relatively dressed down today -- no hat, no obnoxious longcoat flapping around -- and almost looks like a normal person as he looks to his companion for the night. ]
It's a nice change of pace, isn't it? The N64 at the estate was fine, but modern arcades have that special something you just can't get from retro games.

Rom and Serpilia are going out to afternoon tea. It's at a faaaaaancy hotel with a faaaaaancy restaurant with the faaaaanciest afternoon tea service.
Highlights
- Please dress appropriately.
- They will judge your hat, Rom.
- The sandwiches are scrumptious.
[ HE DRESSED APPROPRIATELY OKAY!!! For as generally tactless and my-pace as he tends to be, Rom isn't completely blind to social convention, and there's not much he has to gain from standing out too much here, so. He will try to fit in. Yes, he's still in all-black, but at least it's proper nice clothes. Yes, he let the show's stylist slick his hair back. Yes, unfortunately, he is also wearing the eyepatch, but don't worry about it.
He'll even pull the chair out first for Serpilia as they approach their table, his voice kept a little low to fit the ambiance. ]
... by any chance, are you familiar with these sorts of places, Miss Serpilia?
[ Because he sure isn't. ]

Nico and Maya are taken to a science museum. There is a section on dinosaurs, a section on airplanes, a section on space. There's even a planetarium! A 2-for-1 date!
Highlights
- This will be at night, of course. It's just open very late.
- There are less kids as a result.
- Oooh, what if they have a wine bar?
Nico and Ringo are taken to the Cinnamoroll Cafe. It's sooooooo cute!
Highlights
- The curry is blue.
- The karaage is delicious.
- The drinks are also delicious!
Nico and Rom are taken to a wine bar. Specifically, they're taken to the outdoor patio to drink and enjoy the warm night air together.
Highlights
- The weather really is nice. Think warm spring evening.
- What if there's a secret menu and on that secret menu?
- There's blood.
[ Another 'nice' date, another occasion where Rom will actually behave and dress appropriately ... Yes, he's still in all-black, but he's at least sorta fitting the vibe for the most part. No hat!
Anyway, he gives a little cant of the head as he hands Nico one of the menus across the table. ]
I'm not sure if this is something rude to ask, but -- are you able to drink what's on offer here?

Nico and Serpilia are taken to a jazzercise class. The host is upbeat, the tunes are pop, and the vibes are immaculate.
Highlights
- They will be given spandex to change into.
- There are apple juice boxes for after.
- This is a night class, of course.
Nico and Poppy are taken to a paint-your-own-pottery class. From clay dragons to regular ol' mugs, they'll have their pick of the litter when it comes to picking out things to paint!
Highlights
- It's a chill vibe, though there's no alcohol allowed.
- The teacher plays light pop music in the background.
- They have to wear cute aprons!
Yi Sang and Maya are taken to a clown class. A class to teach you how to be a clown. A class for clowns. Clowning around in a class. Can a class clown clown a class classily?
Highlights
- They will have to change into clown attire.
- And paint their faces.
- Bring back balloon animals to the estate, please!
...
[ Maya, who.
For some reason.
Has her smile frozen on her face long before she has any paint applied to it-- ]
Seriously....?

Yi Sang and Odile are taken to the hot springs. It's a real nice one, at that.
Highlights
- There is a co-ed hot spring for them to share.
- Or they can rent a private room with a private hot spring!
- Either way, have fun!
[ There is a co-ed for them to share... Odile has little issue with being in the nude for activies such as this, how natural and regular they are in Ka Bue, but if Yi Sang finds discomfort in it they can both have a towel.
... They probably should given it's televised but the censors can work that one out-- Regardless Odile will exhale softly once they hit the water, resting her head back against a rock and closing her eyes. ]
If you begin to overheat, don't linger. I have a high heat tolerance.
[ Given her preference for spice. ]
