[listen it's important, she knows how the romcoms go]

it will not be the complete same
you cannot copy the [ummm. she actually doesn't know the word in english but?? yu said he knows japanese right?! so]
the doki dokis
right ?
that you get when you are with someone you like
but practice is good if you both agree

1/2

[covenantal]

[ "the doki dokis" ...... ]

[covenantal]

Yeah, probably not. But I should still treat it like a real date. I'm grateful to Karkat for being willing to do this with me. Most people would probably refuse.

Still, I don't really know what you do on a date... do you know what he likes?

[constellates]

[she won't mention that this is a totally romcom sort of set-up and therefore karkat could not resist]

i know a lot of what he likes
movies are good
and he likes it when people are sweet
because he does not expect it
even though he is very worthy of it ?
it might make him blush a little
(that would be cute)
but do not take him to movies
because that is bad first date idea since you cannot talk
and chatter is half the fun !
i think ?

[covenantal]

I think you're right about not going to the movies. I was going to take him to a café I like, at least. You're definitely right that chatter is half the fun, so I'll have to give us the opportunity to do that.

Can you think of anything he might like besides movies? I'd like to plan some sort of activity we could do together.

Should I bring flowers? I don't know if I should bring something.

[constellates]

take him to a cute cafe
like a cat cafe or one where you can share a parfait
that will be sweet
( that is a joke ? )

he does like cats and jokes

flowers would be nice
very classic ?
for a real date it does not hurt to bring nice things
if it will make the other person smile
you should

[covenantal]

The café in question is also a bakery. I don't remember if they have parfaits, but they might. Sharing one would be pretty romantic.

(And sweet. （*’∀’人）♥)

Does Karkat like flowers? How do you know what to bring for someone if you're just getting to know them? I wonder if I should bake something instead.

[ overthinking it: this guy. ]

[constellates]

romantic and sweet is very good !
do that and he will be very happy even if he will blush
very cute

flowers are very classic and are in movies
i think he would like them
if you would like to bake that is also sweet
anything with thought
that is what matters

[covenantal]

Ah... that is pretty cute.

I like to cook, so baking something would create a gift that I put time and effort into. I feel like that would be more thoughtful.

I wonder if there's a park nearby that café. Maybe we could take a walk?

[constellates]

you could bake
and put them in cute shapes
or use icing to put cute movie words
sayings ? lines ?

[give her a second she's googling]

*quotes

a walk would be good so you can talk
and see if there are ducks to feed
do ducks like cookies ?

[covenantal]

... cat-shaped sweets?

I'm not sure what movie quotes I'd use. I don't watch many movies.

Bread, I think. But that sounds like a fun idea, taking a walk and feeding the ducks. Do you think he'd like it?

[constellates]

the best shape for sweets

you should ask for what movies he likes
if you go on a second test date you can watch a movie

it is a very good date plan
it is simple and sweet but you can talk to each other
karkat will have fun
and it will be sweet for him to go on a date that he likes
i have been waiting for this too

[covenantal]

True. (^・ω・^ )

Should there be more than one test date?

Waiting for this? Why?

[constellates]

one should be ok
or else it could be misleading
do you like romcoms ?
that is what happens in romcoms
test date but someone gets the doki dokis ! oh no !
so maybe just one

karkat is my best bro
and i want him to find love
this is not that
but if someone could take him out on a date and be good to him
that would still make anya very happy too

[covenantal]

You mean romantic comedies? I don't really watch movies much, so I'll take your word for it. I ... don't want to mislead Karkat like that. One is probably for the best.

[ pardon him while he tries to picture anya saying "best bro" aloud but anyway ]

I see... I'll have to go above and beyond my best to make sure he has a good time, then.

[constellates]

yes that is a romcom
karkat and i watch them a lot
but i think one is good and then you can ask him for advice !

do not be nervous
be yourself
that is the most important advice for any date
test or not
i promise that you are good enough
please have fun

[covenantal]

Alright. That's what I'll do. Thank you, Anya.

[ there's a pause after he texts that that makes him wish he'd read through everything she was saying thoroughly before starting to reply. maybe the delay will seem suspicious, or concerning.

but he's a little stuck on i promise that you are good enough. ]

... how did you know I was worried about that?

[constellates]

? ??
i think sometimes romance makes people uncertain
their knees get weak and their heart aches like when they feel nerves ?
and you are asking to do romance with karkat and he is helping
so i think being uncertain is a possible feeling
but you do not need to feel that way
because you are a good person and so is he
so i think you will have a lot of fun
