[After a series of texts early that day, Yuri spent the rest of his morning trying valiantly to figure out how to hide his name from the network. There was a very serious matter he needed to ask about, and he didn't want to think of the consequences he'd face if anyone knew he was the one asking.]

What the hell are you supposed to do on a date? A first date if that matters. Something like that has to be special, doesn't it? So...what do people expect? Do you have to dress up? How do you know who pays for everything?

I really don't know anything about this junk so I'll take any advice people have got.

[Viktor would never let him hear the end of this if he knew.]

Yeah yeah, no evil lairs.

We like the same sport. We've been to international competition for it, but I don't know if he wants to talk about that here... It's going to be hard to break back into it in a new world.

[carbonfrozen]

is there anything here that you could use to play that sport of yours

not for real, just to impress him and show off the tricks you've picked up since you got here

[beautiful_monster]

Maybe... He might like just seeing the powers I've gotten here better.

[carbonfrozen]

so show them off

this is the first date, right

but you two know each other

you don't gotta impress him too much and go overboard but a little flair always helps, trust me

[beautiful_monster]

Yeah a little would be okay. I don't want it to just be...you know. Just about me. He's got to have fun too.

[carbonfrozen]

all right so what kinda stuff does he like

maybe you can do that together

[beautiful_monster]

He likes skating, and music, and...me? He owns a motorcycle at home, but I don't know if he likes the mechanics of them or not.

I can ask.
