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!)

[ maybe souji's just better at making fakes than dante, has he ever considered that?? ]

Yeah. Just taking orders and mixing non-alcoholic drinks.

So, sorry if you want something with a little kick the next time you come in. I can mix you a mean lemonade though.

[darkinferno]

[wow RUDE!!!! how dare you even suggest that dante did actual work/i> by making his own fake when he can just buy one???]

makes sense. can't blame him for wanting to run things on the straight and narrow

i guess if i'm looking for a little extra kick i'll just have to supply myself

[darkinferno]

[and immediately afterwards...]

also luke if for some goddamn reason you're reading this 1) what are you doing stalking my conversations and 2) that's called a joke

regardless of the shit we say about each other you know i'm not stupid enough to do that

[Or at least, he isn't stupid enough to say that in a public setting where cops can read it and then follow through on it.]

[tarotcards]

[ see, that's dante's mistake right there. he needs to make things with his own hands to be proud of it?? how can he be proud of someone else's work?? ]

I'm telling Luke

[ mommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ]

[darkinferno]

[simple he's the one reaping the benefits of it and he's the one getting thanked when he buys the booze]

that's fine

i think by now he knows me well enough to know i won't do anything to get his place closed down

[tattletale!!]

[tarotcards]

[ psh, dante needs better ambitions in life than just this ]

Is that so? Well, that certainly takes out the fun of telling on you out to mom

[ nyehhhhhhh!!!! ]

[darkinferno]

[Probably. Definitely.

EH. He'll get there eventually, maybe.

...Ambition is for those who have to struggle.]

i live to ruin expectations

[mom always likes you better anyways!!!!!!!!! :( :( :( :(]

[tarotcards]

That must be quite the thrilling life. Do you at least get paid well with benefits?

[ maybe if dante didn't open a door to darkness on an innocent island then maybe this wouldn't have happened!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[darkinferno]

the pay is nice

benefits could be better but on the other hand there's a special pleasure to be had watching someone realize they've been betrayed by their own mind

[HE MEANS.................

point :( ]

[tarotcards]

Having a job that you enjoy is a benefit itself as well.

I don't suppose you are looking to hire?

[ gj riku for breaking it >:( ]

[darkinferno]

at the moment i'm too busy to train anyone for the grueling pinpoint accuracy the role requires

i might consider an unpaid internship though. valuable experience in the expectations industry

[look he was just fostering growth in everyone around him!!!! just like a good manager should!]

[tarotcards]

Unpaid internship, you say? I'm not sure if I can afford to take something like that right n

sign me up

[ and he started off this seemingly endless journey of kh games like it's been 15 years since it first started. where is our kh3, riku and square?? ]

[darkinferno]

great, the position's yours

lesson 1: learning how to set up and utilize the moment

1/??? idk i'm sorry for your inbox

[tarotcards]

Got it. What's the next lesson?

[tarotcards]

[ And when he doesn't get a reply... ]

Dante? What's the next lesson?

[tarotcards]

Dante??

[tarotcards]

DANTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i'm done and i'm sorry

[tarotcards]

((((；゜Д゜)))!!!!!!

[darkinferno]

[Goddammit Souji you made him burst out laughing in the middle of hanging out with a bunch of ~too edgy~ kids

But oh man, that was good. Thanks for that laugh, Souji!]

[tarotcards]

(´；д；`)

[ ur welcome, souji had fun taking this moment to spam dante's phone after figuring out that dante totally left him hanging like bruh... ]
