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!)

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

[tarotcards]

Yes.

It's a very nice detail, I think.

[darkinferno]

that's what body paint is for

[covenantal]

[ he thought you were on his side ]

[darkinferno]

[he's on the side of whatever gives him the most entertainment honestly]

[loudmouths]

...a nice detail??? Really?

Your taste is pretty questionable, then...

[tarotcards]

How is an eye for realistic details a questionable taste? Being a perfectionist is very hard.

[loudmouths]

HOW IS ANY OF THIS REALISTIC

[tarotcards]

→ Valentine's Day
→ Cupid is a symbol of Valentine's Day
→ We are hosting a Valentine's Day event
→ We are Cupid
→ We must dress up as Cupid
→ Cupid is typically naked or in a sheet
→ ?
→ ??
→ ???

Does this make sense now?

[loudmouths]

CUPID ISN'T REAL SO IT CAN'T BE REALISTIC!!!!!

you could just as well dress in a suit made of heart prints and still be cupid!!

[tarotcards]

You mustn't say that about Cupid. He's very real and if you say otherwise out loud, he might strike you down for blasphemy.

[loudmouths]

"Strike me down," huh???

With what, exactly?

[tarotcards]

His arrows of love, of course.

[loudmouths]

Ah.

I should have seen that coming.

[tarotcards]

You should also see and understand the fear behind these sharp arrows. If he's feeling particularly cruel, he may have you fall in love with your worst enemy.
