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!)

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.

[ Giving his twin something of a Look. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Returning that look with a smile. What's wrong? Did he get something wrong? ]

[covenantal]

[ elbows him ]

[tarotcards]

[ rude??? ]

[ kicks him?? ]

[covenantal]

[ well assuming they're at home planning all this garbage, just

kinda

drapes himself across souji's lap to stop him from kicking

and then goes back to focusing on the post. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji is very used to yu draping all over him, so the proper response to this is... ]

[ to start tickling his sides ]

[covenantal]

[ yELLS and almost flings his phone across the room

HEADBUTTS SOUJI IN THE STOMACH ]

Souji!

[tarotcards]

[ OOF, WHY ARE YOU HURTING YOUR BROTHER LIKE THIS it'll take more than just a headbutt to deter Souji though. Even if it gets him to stop for half a second, the assault will not end. He will tickle Yu until the ends of time. ]

Yu.

[ :) ]

[covenantal]

[ This is the worst. Yu actually drops his phone to try and seize both of Souji's wrists. His whole body is trembling because ... he's laughing ... and trying very hard not to. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji finally stops the assault but he doesn't take back his hands, not yet... ]

Do you finally give up?

[complementing]

if I stay for a while to help you guys give advice can I bring a costume too??? just be careful not to catch a cold! who am I kidding you're gonna catch a cold be careful not to catch a really bad cold!

[tarotcards]

Of course. The more the merrier, right? What will you dress up as?

And the cold will be a small sacrifice to pay for love. I'm sure the real Cupid would agree, don't you think?

[complementing]

good question! Aphrodite? (๑ゝڡ◕๑) yyyyes but the real Cupid was also a god and probably immune to the cold note to self: bring thermoses of tea for these two

[tarotcards]

That does go hand-in-hand with Cupid, but does this mean we have to call you 'mom' then?

Note to self: bring extra cupcakes for Minako-san in exchange for tea

[complementing]

eugh no thank you, maybe I should look for some other mythical goddess of love. Suggestions are appreciated and you don't have to use that honorific with me you know! Makes me feel oldddd. Senpai is just fine (๑꒪▿꒪)*

[tarotcards]

Luckily, Google is very helpful. This is a list of some but I'm actually not too sure how you'd dress up like them and be recognisable.

Ah, then Minako-senpai it is. I hope that I will be noticed.

[complementing]

I can't even pronounce some of these names so I think I'm out of luck there...I'll think of something, though, I won't ever turn down the chance to dress up for something (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

what do you think the tea is proof of!!

[tarotcards]

I'm excited to see what you pick. I agree that we should always take every opportunity possible to dress up. We don't get moments like this handed to us very often.

Noticed by senpai with tea. I am more than overjoyed. You have made this kohai very happy and acknowledged (●´∀｀●)

[complementing]

unless we cosplay. And I admit a tiny part of me is interested but I'm way too busy for it...

aw ( ・⌄・)ヾ(・ω・*)なでなで senpai is happy to have such a sweet and thoughtful kohai

[tarotcards]

Cosplay does sound like fun, doesn't it? I know that you can buy your outfits online but there's some certain pride and joy out of making your own, I think.

(｡´∀｀)∩(´∀`∩)

[complementing]

yeah, it'd take a lot of work to make one but it can't be that hard, right? Maybe I'll get some easy patterns from the Fashion Club and go wild with a sewing machine ✧(●ᴗ●)

(　￣▽)ﾉ*\(▽￣　)

[covenantal]

[ DESPITE GIVING SOUJI LOOKS OVER THEIR COMMITMENT TO THIS PLAN: ]

You couldn't be more right. We've been blind. Thank you, senpai. We're lucky to have your input.

[complementing]

[ARE YOU IN OR OUT, YU.] happy to help! (๑ゝڡ◕๑) all I want in exchange is photographic evidence that you two did this, is all btw I noticed someone asked about free food (of course someone asks about free food I WOULD TOO) but if you need cupcakes you know who to ask~
