video ♞ blind dates

[tarotcards]

[ In the midst of all the text entries in the network, there is surprisingly a video entry posted in Retrospec this afternoon. When clicking on it, a pair of identical twins (tarotcards and covenantal will appear on screen. ]

Hello, Recollé.

In light of Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we’ve figured that we should host an event.

After all, it’s not Valentine’s Day without dates and unexpected confessions.

[ He says, copying almost word-by-word what a certain uncle said (asides from the 'awkward dates' part because look, he doesn't want to deter anyone from signing up). ]

Or without Cupid helping out. Which is, of course, what we’re here to do.

[ A pause as the two twins look at each other. ]

...Cupids? Or is it just Cupid?

[ A thoughtful pause, and: ]

Cupids.

[ And a nod from the other. They then both face the camera once again. ]

As we're such good and kind Cupids, we have decided to help everyone find their one true love. Therefore, we will be hosting a blind dating event, where no one will be alone for Valentine's Day this year.

Just text us your details and we’ll help set you up with the date of your dreams. Or, you can always give us a friend’s details, too.

[ Said completely deadpan. … is … he serious? Is he joking?? It is impossible to tell. ]

We’ll randomize everyone’s information to find them a date, and let you know on the 13th.

Then on the 14th, you can experience the date of your life. We won't just leave you completely hanging, though. We'll have our own little Cupids booth in the city to guide any unsure or confused little lovers.

[ Then, in unison, the twins both bow their heads and say: ]

We hope you enjoy the event.

[ A few minutes after the broadcast, a little extra text is attached: ]

Which outfit is better? Something more traditional or risque?

It’s important, so please be honest.

( ooc: Souji’s dialogue is in dark blue and Yu’s is in gray. The blind date event details are over here! OOC sign-ups are mandatory to participate, even if there’s an IC sign up here. The deadline is on Feb. 10 at 11:59PM EST so please get your comment in before then. Please reply to this entry as text-only, please! Also, Souji’s player (tarotcards) will reply to all tags tomorrow so apologizes for the delay! Feel free to ask Ichi (Souji) or Pip (Yu) if you have any questions over here!)

i was going 2 say this is a great idea
but then i saw those costumes
youre not serious about that part right?

[covenantal]

Why wouldn't we be serious? As we said, it's an important decision.

[youraffection]

ok first of all
ur gonna freeze its gonna be the middle of feb
2nd theyre both terrifying
thats like antiromantic

[covenantal]

You underestimate our determination. Besides, they're very romantic. Maybe you need your eyes checked?

[youraffection]

dude
no
ok so u seem like a decent guy
i cant let you do this 2 yourself
romance is overpriced dinners and flowers and being able to pay for someone you think is pretty awesome
it is not bad wigs and weird fake fabric nips
it just isnt

[covenantal]

I thought romance was sharing something special with someone you care about.






[ is being dressed as cupid not special for all their lucky participants? ]

[youraffection]

and if you really care about someone?
ur not gonna wear that

[covenantal]

What would you suggest Cupid wears, then?

1/2

[youraffection]

tbh almost an

[youraffection]

wait
scratch that
ive got that sinking feeling ur gonna take me literally
whats wrong with a clean pair of pants and a nice shirt? or do you wanna be fancy?

[covenantal]

Cupid wouldn't just wear nice pants and a shirt. I don't think you're trying very hard.

[youraffection]

4 your info i happen 2 have awesome fashion sense!
and frankly ur in no place to judge me after posting that

[covenantal]

I see. Teach us your ways, sensei. We may have to rely on you, as we're clearly incapable of picking reasonable fashion for ourselves.

[tarotcards]

Of course we're serious. Valentine's Day isn't complete without properly dressed Cupids.

[youraffection]

i think youre prob is calling that "properly dressed"

[tarotcards]

But that's what they wear, Yosuke. I am only trying to be as accurate as possible to the source material.

[youraffection]

i think youre going above and beyond the call of duty here...

[tarotcards]

Of course not. Going above and beyond would mean actually being naked on the streets, since that's how he's most commonly depicted in paintings.

Unless that's what you're suggesting us to do.

[youraffection]

what
NO
DEFINTLY NOT THAT
wtf
plz dont do that

[tarotcards]

But isn't that what you meant? Why else would you have such a problem with a good costume?

[youraffection]

I DONT WANT 2 SEE U NAKED

[covenantal]

Are you sure? You're sending some mixed signals.

[youraffection]

THERE R NO SIGNALS
MIXED OR OTHERWISE

[tarotcards]

Yosuke.

I'm getting very mixed signals here. You don't want the fabric nipples. You don't want real nipples. I don't know what you truly want anymore.

[youraffection]

NO NIPPLES
HUST WERAR A SHIRT
*JUST
WTH
