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!)

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

[me_matey]

now youre speaking my language, m8y. free sugar is the best kind of free food

[tarotcards]

That is true.

And we do want visitors to our booths. Wearing the Cupid outfits with no one to see them would be disappointing.

[me_matey]

what? not into costume play?

[tarotcards]

It has never actually crossed my mind before.

[me_matey]

a young guy like you? i refuse to believe it

[tarotcards]

I'm as innocent as they come. Pure as the driven snow.

[me_matey]

sure jan

[tarotcards]

Is that disbelief I'm reading in your text?

[me_matey]

i prefer to call it healthy skepticism

[tarotcards]

But look at me. Do I really scream deviant?

[ audience eyes at the cupid outfits ]

[me_matey]

homeboy u r a teenager

[tarotcards]

Swank? Juggz?

[ what are these fancy terms ]

[me_matey]

redtube.

[tarotcards]

I don't see what's so wrong with a red themed version of YouTube

[ is he really this innocent or is he just joking around ]

[me_matey]

ya dont? well u should probably see for urself

[tarotcards]

Perhaps I should. Maybe during my lunch break at school tomorrow?

[me_matey]

lemme know how that works out for ya homeboi

[tarotcards]

Of course. You'll be the first to know.

[covenantal]

We'll be directing lovers to good spots across the city to have their dates. Besides that, like Souji said, we'll have some small goodies.

It is a little unfortunate looking.

[me_matey]

unfortunates a word for it, sure
