[Akko should really be at her job today. But. Well. As it turns out, antique and oddities shops don’t take all that kindly to clumsiness. So, Akko’s out of a job. So maybe it’s not so much that she should be at a job as it is she should be looking for a job.]
[But there are more days to come where she can do that. So, the invitation to go for a walk sounds nice enough. She’s certainly willing to accept any and all excuses not to keep trying to scrounge up part-time work.]
sure! did u have somewhere in mind to go?
[That seems a very Diana thing to do. Why do anything for its own sake seems to be a philosophy of hers, anyway. But Akko’s happy to play along and maybe even trick Diana into...having fun!?]

[If there is one thing Akko can never say no to, it’s food.]
don’t have to ask me twice!
[Except…]
but uh, do u mind if i pay you back later for it?? (*ﾟｰﾟ)ゞ
[Someone got fired.]
[...]
[...Again.]

[There's really no telling if he would even get the truth if he asked either. So, we're all better off remaining in ignorance.]
i could go for something to eat! we can save diplomatea for another time
u been anywhere good??

[Food is amazing and chief among one of Akko's favorite things, so Diana is #nailing this whole socializing thing.]
great!!
we can figure out what we want along the way
[One might think it would make more sense to plan a walk in the direction of a decided upon restaurant or cafe, but in typical Akko fashion there's very little thought put into it. In fact, she's already out the door of her apartment and on her way to Diana's as she sends that message.]

[Honestly? She's come to expect this behavior out of Akko. Her more spontaneous behavior is a sharp contrast to Diana's meticulous style. And that's fine.
She prefers it that way, especially now that they're Bonded.]
There you are.
Did you have anything you specifically wanted to eat today?
[She's feeling generous.]

[Akko lets out a long hm, contemplating all of their potential options. The quality of food seems to vary a lot from place to place, especially depending on the price point, but she's not overly concerned with that.]
Well, it's almost lunchtime, so we should probably get something actually filling and not just junk food, right?
[That's probably the responsible decision, which Akko is semi-willing to compromise on with Diana, who is substantially less like to consider ice cream a suitable meal.]

[Hey being hungry again in an hour just means more snacks, ok. There is nothing to lose there.]
[But! Akko is pretty surprised to hear Diana suggest more or less just winging it since that is so very rarely her style. It's not an altogether terrible plan though and Akko smiles wide.]
A city this big? [Akko throws her hands up for emphasis.] There's gotta be hundreds of options!

[Dramatic readings? Well, Sypha can do that. She may not be the best person for it, but she figures that if she can borrow even an ounce of Akko's enthusiasm and do her best preacher impersonation, she can probably fake it well enough for an easy payday.
Standing inside the shop, getting her thoughts in order as they prepare for work, the Speaker Magician smiles down at her young friend.]
...Are you ready? Got what you're wanting to say in your head?

[Diana knows the kind of foods she likes, and is pretty set in her ways for those. What she's more interested in today is the kind of food that Akko happens to enjoy.
Though Diana has noticed that her preferences are pretty... broad.
Honestly, she just thinks that Akko will eat anything "as long as it tastes good."]
I'd like to try something I've never had before.

oooh yeah!
there's gotta be a lot of options for those around the city right??
[Because if those crepes were any indication, Aefenglom's sweets game has to be pretty decent.]
oh wait maybe we should go to a bakery
they gotta have ones where you can sit down and order, right?

[Wow, honestly... Cannot! Believe! The! Audacity! That anyone would call Akko out like this...]
[But it's true. She's really down to eat anything as long as it tastes good. Well. Maybe if she doesn't know all the ingredients in some cases. Then that can get into some mind over matter issues. But that is neither here nor there!]
Something you've never had before? [Akko blinks, clearly a little surprised by the suggestion. Not that Diana is beyond wanting to explore, she just tends to not be quite as adventurous as Akko.] Well, I guess we should start off by eliminating the places you've already tried around here! So, where do you usually go out for food?

I was born with it in my head already!
[...Labeling it as enthusiasm may be a bit more generous than is necessarily deserved. It's a little questionable that Akko did much more than just glance over the provided notes for what they're supposed to be acting out. There's a high likelihood that this is going to end up more improv that following the script.]
What about you? Are you feeling nervous?

Nervous?
[Sypha has to laugh at that. Akko sure is something. She's a completely unique flower, if there ever was one.]
Hardly. I haven't ever acted before, but how hard can it be to recite some lines?

if there isn't, can they even call this place a city??
[She thinks they cannot.]
u wanna meet up somewhere to start looking?
[She thinks they cannot.]

You're not just reciting some lines, Sypha, [Akko says with a furious shake of her head. Her ears twitch a little as she leans in a little closer.] You're captivating the attention of the masses here! You really gotta bring your best to this and make sure people are paying attention. And then you gotta make sure that while they're watching you, they're feeling good! They need to feel inspired!
[That's not exactly how inspiration from advertisement works, but Akko is a little stuck on the theatrics right now. As much as her perspective on things may have somewhat shifted and changed, there's really no making Akko let go of her dreams of performing.]

[Sypha blinks at this. She's...okay, Akko, you're really taking this seriously and Sypha is just a little bit surprised by how vociferous an argument this is.]
...Are we putting on a play, or are we advertising, Akko?
[Chill!]
...Are we putting on a play, or are we advertising, Akko?
[Chill!]
[Chill??? Who dat?]
Both! [These two things do not seem mutually exclusive to her.] The play is the advertisement.

Akko...I don't know if the employer wanted a full scale theater performance.
[And Sypha sure doesn't. But she also knows that Akko won't be dissuaded, so she'll at least try and get some things hammered out.]
...What do we even have to make some stage effects?
