[He's exhausted, but a message like that is enough to have him responding quickly, even if he aches too much to drag himself out of bed to track her down just yet.]

What's urgent?
Are you OK?

i don't know. i don't know what to do. have you ever had a local think you weren't a monster before? or i guess maybe he doesn't care that i'm a monster, but that's even weirder...

[Sorry Oliver, this emergency is not the most serious of emergencies.]

[He'd been dragging himself up, mind starting to wake up a little after sending his last message. He can't relax when Jade might be in trouble. Upon getting the next message he flops right back down with a frustrated groan.]

It happens in the day now I'm a were.
Why is that a bad thing?

he asked me out on like, a date.

[There is no elaboration because that's the entirety of her "emergency" right now.]

OMG.
Is he cute?
What did you say?

oliver!! it doesn't matter if he's cute. i'm a monster i can't go out with a normal person. it's not like i could keep it a secret and then he'd freak out and it'd be awful.

... but i told him i'd think about it and to stop by the store tomorrow and maybe we'd go to lunch.

Maybe he doesn't mind.
You should ask.
But if he's weird about it in either direction you should say no.

how could he not mind? he's gonna mind. do you think it's a trick? like, some weird ask monsters out and then try to kill them thing. it's not like i ever got asked out before i was a monster.

I doubt that.
You're really nice and you're an attractive young woman. Why wouldn't he want to go out with you?

[He can't believe he's typing this. At least through text she can't see how awkward he feels.]

Just make sure you go somewhere public for your first date. If it's lunchtime it should be busy.
If you're worried then let me and Soeki know where you're going to be and if you're not back by a certain time we can come and find you to make sure you're OK.

because i'm weird and not pretty and oh right, a MONSTER. there's no reason for anyone to wanna date me. And oh my god, you can't tell Soeki. he'll freak out or get all embarrassing or want to like, be there to make sure nothing bad happens. or he'll tease me forever, please don't tell him.

You're not weird, I just told you you were pretty, and there are definitely humans who are willing to date monsters.
You do need to make sure he's not creepy about it though.

I won't tell him, but hang on a few minutes while I get up.
He's asleep next to me and if he does wake up you know he'll want to know who I'm talking to.

if it's not some sort of trap how else could he be creepy?

okay, okay, thanks. i just don't want him freaking out about it.

You really don't get what I'm getting at?

I won't tell him.
But you should soon if it goes well.
He'll be happy for you!

no? should i?

it's not worth telling him. even if i don't completely fuck things up, i'm only gonna be a were for another couple of weeks.

If you're going to date a human...
Probably. Yeah.

You don't think he'll like you when you're a shade?

dude, just tell me what you mean.

[It's embarrassing and annoying that she can't figure out what he's talking about, another sign that she's so out of her depth when it comes things like this.]

i know he won't. no one would.

Some people REALLY like monsters.
Like really like them.
You're almost 18 so I think you should know that's a possibility if he knows what you are.
It doesn't sound like he does though so that's probably not why he's interested.

[He's so embarrassed to be the one explaining this. This is not a conversation he ever pictured having with her.]

Soeki liked me when I was a shade.
I didn't think anyone would then either.

oh my god, are you serious? actually don't answer that. forget we talked about this. i've got it. i'll make sure he's not some weird monster obsessed freak.

soeki's different. he's like, dating a demon back home. you're lucky you found him.

Don't worry.
I'm already pretending this conversation never happened.

I know I'm lucky, but that doesn't mean you can't be either.
It's not like I'm the only one here who's found somebody.
If he's from here he's probably used to the idea of monsters even if he hasn't thought about dating them yet.

Edited 2017-02-10 03:12 (UTC)

what conversation?

i guess you're right. maybe. i dunno. this is so lame, but i've never even been on a date before. no one's ever asked me out even when i wasn't a monster. i didn't think something like this would ever happen. it's weird. and i have no fucking idea what i'm supposed to do.

It's not as scary as you think it is.
You just go to lunch, get to know him.
That's all.
If it goes well he might want to kiss you at the end, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to.

dude, i've kissed someone before. i'm not that hopeless.

You have?

yeah. it's kinda a long story but i had to make out with ike to convince the guards that the reason we didn't get teleported away from the school or whatever was because we were fooling around during the wood run.

That doesn't sound very romantic.
You weren't even into each other?
