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.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

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.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

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.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

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.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

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.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

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

<oliver>

[catphishing]

You have?

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

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.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

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

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

what? no, gross. pretty sure i'm the only girl in the school he hasn't slept with, besides casey, but that's only because she hates him even more than i do. it was the worst. he could barely sell it because he was like, so offended that they'd think i was his type.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I'm sorry.
You should have got a better first kiss than that.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

it's fine. it's not a big deal. it's not like i even care about that shit.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Don't you?

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i shouldn't. it's a stupid thing for someone like me to care about.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

It's not stupid.
Everyone wants their firsts to be special, and you do not give yourself enough credit for what a catch you are.
At least now you have the chance for a special first date.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

what if it's a disaster?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

What if it isn't?
You won't know unless you try it.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

okay, but i'm gonna make sure he's not a weirdo first. and if this goes terribly you owe me.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Deal.
Do you want me to be at the store around when he's supposed to be meeting you?
We don't have to make it super obvious.
You could pretend I'm just another customer or that I work for you.
We could have a code word in case you decide you don't want to go and I'll have an excuse ready to get you out of it.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

no, it's okay. i can handle it.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Are you sure? I don't mind.

[Also he kind of wants to know what this dude looks like.]

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

you're not gonna say anything or do anything weird or embarrass me?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I won't even talk to him if you don't want me to.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

okay, cool. you might be wasting your time. he might not even show up.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

He'll show up.
He's obviously into you.
