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!)

[youraffection]

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.

[tarotcards]

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

[twelfthspark]

Please, for everyone's sake, go with the traditional one.

[Pretend she sent her entry to one of their individual inboxes shortly before this. It's a blind date, her participation doesn't need to be public!]

[tarotcards]

Ah

The risque one is too risque, huh

[hjack69]

ehhhhh what the hell im in
also christ kid when did you duplicate
not sure theres enough unicorn meat in the city for two of you

[covenantal]

Yu is my brother. We're twins. Didn't I say?

[voideity]

lmao what a cute idea i love it
also as much as i love risque everythong
(thats a typo but im leavin it lmao)
gotta say traditional on this one

[covenantal]

I have to say, I'm sort of surprised. I thought most people would jump in the chance to put us in something ridiculous. (Yes, Souji, it's ridiculous.) Or just make us freeze.

[megabond]

For your sake, I would prefer you just go with the traditional outfit. It might not traumatize some of the young ones who might pass by.

[tarotcards]

Nothing is very traumatising about Cupid's true outfit, however.

[quaria]

Is this how Valentine's Day is celebrated now?

[ It doesn't show on text, but Setsuna's kind of horrified. He wonders if this is some kind of silly internet challenge... Those have been popular lately. ]

[covenantal]

Here I thought it was tradition.

[complementing]

what a cute idea! (´▽`ʃƪ) kind of tempted to stop by the cupids booth the day of just to see how everything is getting along also, my vote is for traditional because it's the real risque version. You guys would probably only be wearing underwear for it whereas the 'risque'one has a body suit and that's not risque at all, even with the nipples

[tarotcards]

Please stop by. We'd have our own little events at the booth, so it wouldn't be a wasted visit.

I can't believe we didn't realize this sooner. Of course. You're absolutely correct. I was so distracted by the false nipples of the second outfit that I didn't even realize that we'd be stripped down to our underwear underneath the first costume.

We will take an important note of this. Thank you.

[constellates]

cute!! (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ this looks like fun
it's so nice of you to try to bring joy to others
the traditional is more tasteful too btw

[covenantal]

Valentine's Day is a day for love and joy, isn't it? We're just doing our part to share these things.

I guess we'll be going with the traditional. Who'd've thought?

[daemonized]

I vote for the traditional ensemble. Your uncle doesn't want you boys to catch a cold.

[As if one is even all that better than the other, honestly.]

[covenantal]

Wouldn't a cold be worth it to spread joy and happiness to all the citizens of Recollé?

[me_matey]

does this mean free food? this is important

also the second dude looks like he's wearing a body condom.

[tarotcards]

We'll have little cupcakes and candies at our booth if that counts.

Now that I've looked at it again... it does look like a condom, doesn't it? It certainly adds to the risque aspect

[blooming_resonance]

Oh, are there people turning down the opportunity to meet other folks?

Even if it's just for fun, I think it would be interesting. Sign me up.

Ah... but I'd think the traditional cupid outfit works better. The risque one might be too cold.

[tarotcards]

We haven't had any major objections so far. It seems like everyone is on board for it.

Do you think? I would have thought the spandex would keep the body heat in more than the traditional's garb.

[scarlet_devil]

For the love of all that is good and holy, go with the traditional option...

[covenantal]

Maybe we really should just go with wrapping a sheet around ourselves, instead of the body suit. It seems pretty unpopular.

[darkinferno]

so when did you decide to become the network equivalent of tinder?

as for the outfit... make the best of both worlds

use a sheet to drape yourselves like the second example. much more accurate that way

[covenantal]

This is what I've been trying to say. I'm glad someone else understands.

[loudmouths]

first of all, does that costume have gold nipples????

[tarotcards]

Yes.

It's a very nice detail, I think.

[korekara]

RISQUE RISQUE RISQUE I DAAAAAARE YOUUUUUU!!!!!! ill get u both botamochi from homura if u dress the whole day like that

[ honoka is a good friend ]

[covenantal]

[ .... tempting .... ]

Most people have voted against it. It was kind of a landslide, actually. But I'm glad at least one person supports our ambitions.

[orbweaver]

I was going to say risque, but then I saw the gladiator sandals.
Do you need to be overly faithful to those two costumes?

[covenantal]

Souji seems to want to be. I'm open to options. Have something in mind?

[notblayde]

alright i was going to suggest a modern cupid instead but google is just bringing up a diaper and a gun for that which has a certain je ne sais quoi i'll admit but not the class i was hoping for

[tarotcards]

A gun...

Does that mean that modern cupid is part of some underground criminal network?

[trueend]

why does the rick suit have nipples :?

[wait:]

risk**
rsque**
RISQUE*************
😞

[tarotcards]

Because it'd be fairly unrealistic if it didn't. After all, have you seen someone without any nipples?

[mercurio]

WHY NOT BOTH

[tarotcards]

Combine the skintight body suit with the openness of a skirt?

I like your way of thinking.

[glacian]

One should use discretion when fiddling with amour.

[tarotcards]

Perhaps we should have done this secretly?

[ You're doing a blind date but wow, you don't even know you're in one! ]

[borntoolate]

Traditional.
This is obviously a classy event and you don't want to look ridiculous.

[She's glad she's typing this. Iris knows she couldn't say that with a straight face.]


Also I'm counting on you two to find me a cute guy, okay?
Don't let me down.

[tarotcards]

That is true. Maybe I should wear a bowtie as well?

Of course not. What kind of cousin would I be if I didn't match you up with someone cute?

[parodeity]

lmao shit the nipples on the 2nd one
you gotta go with #2 man
do it for the nipple

[tarotcards]

I am glad that someone else could appreciate the fine and detailed nipples of the second one.

Thank you for your very thoughtful and clearly the correct vote.

[mollitumnata]

Both are very festive [ That was the polite way of putting it, right? ]

But wouldn't you be worried of falling sick wearing so little with all this cold? Your enthusiasm is very noble, but please think of your own well-being!

[tarotcards]

Thank you for the concern, but it is a sacrifice we are willing to make. We wouldn't be proper Cupids if we don't have the appropriate outfit to wear during such a special event.
