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!)

Please trust us when we say we're merely reviving ancient and important tradition. We're happy to instruct anyone who wishes to learn.

You could bring chocolates to share with your date, something I'm sure you'd both enjoy.

[quaria]

I see. That is admirable, then. I believe it is important to remember and honor traditions.

I will be glad to receive more awareness. Though, I will not actively participate... I am honestly not a good date.

[ He's fine eating popcorn at the loser corner. ]

[covenantal]

Thank you. We're doing our best. [ setsuna don't listen to them don't let them take you in with their shenanigans ]

Ah, is that so? I think you'd do fine. Everyone who hasn't already met will be getting to know each other, after all. You could always consider it a way to make a new friend.

[quaria]

[ It's too late, he's buying it... Also, what the fudge, get these smooth twins away from him!? ]

I do not necessary need a date for that, do I? I only need to speak with them, such as... what we are doing now.

[covenantal]

That's true, and of course I consider us friends. Still, this could be a fun way to keep meeting new people, right?

[quaria]

[ *necessarily, sorry for that previous typo ;;

And, ah... Even Yu called him a friend. It's rather fortunate they can't see Setsuna's face right now. ]

Thank you, to you as well...

I have already told your brother, but I will be seeing you two soon.

[covenantal]

Of course. We'll be glad to have you with us.

[ Setsuna seems nice. And it's clear Souji likes him, so that's enough for Yu. ]

[quaria]

[ Souji's really lucky to have such an amazing sibling... Setsuna is glad for that too, because it means these two are never lonely. They have each other. ]

Until then, I am here to read your lessons about tradition.
