Ah, excellent. I tried to find as many objects as would complement the lovely shade of your hair's coloration. [Explanations ahoy!] But yes, I expect that you will attend a social function in my company.
...
I am not, however, exactly sure what qualifies as a "date." These novels seem lacking in that kind of detail.
[There, literally, was no way this could go well.]
[Fuuka had to give a sigh. At least he was trying even if this wasn't exactly the best way to win someone's affections or something. Although, she does hope that this was just practice and nothing else. Otherwise, she wasn't sure how to approach him afterwards]
I appreciate it? I think it does match my hair color a little and I think I'll find a use for them! [Somehow. As she gave another look, it seemed that the only way to make any use of them would be cooking them. While she might not be the best cook around, even she can tell that using these items would be....tricky.
Oh what to do...]
Well, a date refers to a meeting between two people. So I suppose this can be a date as long as it isn't romantic?
[He reached up to scratch his chin. If he was disappointed at her insistence that it be non-romantic, he gave no sign. In reality, he preferred clarity there.
Admittedly, he lost clarity as easily as people lost socks in the dryer.]
Yes. this is a practice venture, Fuuka. I barely know if you are someone I should be pitying after all.
[...that really was a romantic topic, believe it or not.]
[It was lucky that Fuuka had picked up on that. She remembered how Equius had once mentioned that pity was a form of romantic attraction in their world and how much confusion that created!
Still, she couldn’t quite tell if he was talking about the ‘pity’ from his world or from the humans.]
I don’t think you should, I am just trying to help you out and sort out the differences in romantic attractions?
[She asked in a question. After all, if she wasn’t even sure, how else could she phrase it?]
Well, [Dab dab with a towel.] It is as you say. You are attempt to assist me in understanding. This is not e%actly an actual romantic endeavor. It is...
What is the term?
FLARPing? No, no. We're nto trying to kill each other. It is roleplaying. I have attempted this once or twice in the past.
[Roleplaying he says. While the idea of roleplaying out a relationship wasn’t the best choice she could make, she also wanted to help Equius out. She gave a small sigh to him.]
So you want to pretend we are in a relationship? [Yeah, this doesn’t suit too well with her] I’m afraid I don’t really think that is a good idea. No matter what, it’s just not right to do that!
Err, no. I am simply proceeding through the motions of courting you. I would prefer not to exceed a single meeting of this nature. It would have implied too much. But if not, we will need to find some other method.
So you’re suggesting that we only go out on a ‘date’ just once? [She still didn’t really like the idea of dating someone for the sole purpose as an experiment. At the same time, it was just only one date right? It couldn’t hurt right?
... ah, well. [Pause, hadn't she refused? Humans were so mercurial sometimes.] In that case, we can decide upon an appropriate venue later, yes? Would you care to decide where we should go?
The croak beasts are too vulgar. If we must do something of that sort of nature, I would suggest perhaps Jade's place of occupation. The ... highwind I believe it is referred to. They serve drinks there. Should you wish outdoors appreciation afterwards, we could go for a walk. I am told humans like to move their limbs in this way.
So are you guessing that we go out and have a dance at the restaurant? I don’t know about the drinks. [Pause] Nor am I too excited about the dancing myself but I wouldn’t mind just going there and just talking there before going for a walk afterwards.
I think it would be better that way!
[That and Fuuka is pretty unsure about this whole thing anyway]
Dance? No I... yes, yes. Walking is preferred. That was what I was referring to. [But he wasn't good at actually saying that in a simple, easy to understand fashion.] As for drinks... hmmm, if you are thinking the Highwind serves alcoholic beverages, I do not believe this is the case. Its specialty is... hot chocolate?
[Okay, Fuuka had to admit, as much as Equius was trying, she couldn’t help but think his attempts were cute]
Then walking it will be? As soon as we finish some hot chocolate, we would do some walking around the park! I know there is an amusement park but I also heard it was haunted at the same time.
[As she looked at the directions, she couldn’t help but suddenly feel nervous. Not because of the date itself, more that she was worried how it will end.]
Of course. I am not prone to being sneaky in general.
[Whether it would turn out well or absolutely horribly would remain to be seen. regardless, he arrived precisely on time at the Highwind, standing at the doorway and glancing in to see if Fuuka had gotten there ahead of him or would be along shortly.]
[Fuuka was usually one to arrive on time and that was what she did. Not another second to lose, she approached the doorway to look for a familiar creature whom she had talked to moments before. As she did so, she couldn’t help but wonder how this ‘date’ will turn out.
Outside of a few friendly outing with her friends, she never really been on a ‘romantic’ date before. The most it ever gotten was cooking with Minato a few months ago but still…]
[Considering Equius? It was likely to be horrendously awkward. When he saw her coming, he nodded and stood up a little straighter, trying not to sweat profusely. he was only a little successful.
Someone needed to get this boy some antiperspirant.]
[Just as she looked toward his direction, Fuuka had to raise an eyebrow. Was it just her imagination or was he sweating? A lot? Whatever the case, this was going to be one awkward date.]
Oh, that's good! I was worried that I would be late! But you didn't wait too long did you?
[What was this? A movie all of a sudden?] And would you like a towel as well?
[Alone with a potential mate, seated next to each other in the dark with a bucket... Fuuka would be wise never to suggest it. She'd see the most horrifying display of stammering imaginable.]
A towel? yes, I could probably use one.
[He took out a piece of paper and scrawled one, pulling it out to dab at his forehead before holding the door for her.]
Thank you for the suggestion. I have not needed to tarry long.
[Sooner or later, she will mention the bucket once she sees it. But until that time, Fuuka was never none the wiser. Instead, she just gave a him a smile before pointing to the entrance]
I think they might have a few over there? I don't think they would mind giving you a few towels and especially when you're just using a piece of paper.
[Which looked awkward if anyone were to look at him right now. Once she entered in, she looked back at him.]
It's not a problem, I'm glad that I can help and especially on a 'date' like this?[Yup, totally not awkward]
[Well, the towel that popped out of the piece of paper looked quite real, quite fluffy and quite blue. Gotta love that Drawing Life power of his. He honestly should have opened up a premier towel shop.]
We needn't concern them. And let us make the most of this excursion that we can, yes? I would hate to waste the opportunity and not perform admirably as a temporary faux paramour.
[That said, he held the door open for her. It seemed only right if he was drawing from the pity field.]

The amusement park is indeed covered with the spirits of the dead. However, that is the intention of their theme, as memory serves.
no subject
Then it sounds like that shop is our only choice for a date. Shall we go there now? Where is it anyway?
no subject
An hour should be sufficient to meet, yes?
no subject
Of course! So...I’ll see you there?
