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!)

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.

[tarotcards]

It's not ridiculous and you know it.

[ are they texting while they're sitting right next to each other? maybe... ]

[covenantal]

It's a body suit. Couldn't we just wrap sheets around ourselves for a more authentic affect in the first place?

[tarotcards]

But that's not a true Cupid outfit, Yu.

Amazon and its reviews wouldn't lie to me about this. The body suit is mandatory for the authentic look.

[covenantal]

Something tells me Cupid didn't wear a body suit. Isn't he typically depicted as a cherub with wings and wearing a sheet?

[tarotcards]

Perhaps, but remember, Cupid is the god of passion and affection. He cannot facilitate love if he can't even love his own body enough to show it. He should not be ashamed to show off his nipples.

[covenantal]

The body suit is mostly going to hide us, though. If that's your focus, then a sheet would be even better for our purposes, since it'd show the most skin.

[tarotcards]

You truly are insistent on this first costume.

Why must you hate on the body suit and its detailed nipples, brother?

[covenantal]

[ are they truly related ]

[covenantal]

What everyone else seems to have against it, I'd assume.

[tarotcards]

[ apparently not?? this is why yu is the worse version of the protag ]

[tarotcards]

[ I MEAN-- ]

Do not conform to the norm, little brother. Don't be a mindless sheep.

[covenantal]

[ that's cold, man. ]

[covenantal]

I'm just saying it'd be better if we went more accurate and even more risque by ditching the bodysuit.

[tarotcards]

If you truly insist on the first costume, then I will struggle no more, as it seems as if I can do nothing to change your mind.

[voideity]

i usually would but
its the fake nipples
theyre killin me
now if it was just the toga sans body suit
thatd be a diff story ;)

[tarotcards]

I have to agree with my brother. I am surprised at all the votes for the traditional outfit.

What's so wrong with the risque? I was fond of the fabric nipples.

[voideity]

its the fabric nipples my dude
fabric nipples aint cute or sexy

[tarotcards]

But they do draw your attention, don't they?

[voideity]

well yes
but the question is
SHOULD they

[tarotcards]

And I'll counter that with another question:

WHY shouldn't they?
