Dates
Invitation
InvitationOccasionally, first thing in the morning, the player may leave their house to find Dawa outside, hoping to invite the player out for a date or play date.
Play
Once the player has become buddies with Dawa, they can schedule a play date together.
If the player chooses to dine at The Round Table with Dawa during a play date or date, it is recommended to order dishes Dawa will like. If asked before ordering, Dawa will sometimes tell the player exactly which dishes to order; other times, Dawa will just give little hints. In the event that Dawa does not specify the exact foods desired, the player should order between three and six dishes, depending on what hint Dawa gives. It is recommended to order each of those dishes from different courses, ex. ordering one Appetizer, Meat, Vegetable, Dessert, and Drink course each, rather than five Desserts.
Dawa's food preferences are listed below. The player is advised to use these preferences only when Dawa does not tell the player what to order. If Dawa tells the player a list of dishes to order or gives a hint, it is advised to follow Dawa's wishes instead. The full restaurant menu can be found at The Round Table page.
