Hello, Recollé!

Have you ever stepped in front of a mirror and went "man, I look good today"? Have you ever been constantly complimented on your appearance by your friends, family, and people on the streets? Or have you ever thought that you should get paid every time that you make someone swoon?

Well, if any of those happened to you, then look no further!

Sponsored by everyone's favourite social media company, Retrospec, Recollé will be hosting its Mr., Miss, and Crossdressing Retrospec™ Pageant!

Sign yourself up or your friends* to show off your good looks! Don't think you're the modern day equivalent of Aphrodite? Don't worry because personalities can put up a good fight too! Let that inner beauty shine out!

Feeling nervous about all the competition and afraid that your chances of winning are too low? Don't worry, we got your back! Because you can join multiple sections of the pageant!

Think you can rock both a suit in the Mr. section and a cute skirt in the crossdressing section? Then sign up for both! A drop-dead gorgeous dress in the Miss section but a rugged biker look in the crossdressing section? Then go for it! There are absolutely no limitations on sign-ups! Just sign up quick because the event will be held one week from now on March 25th, so don't miss your chance of a lifetime!

All winners will receive one chance to remember, but keep in mind, this event is open to the public, so don't let some random person take away your opportunity to remember something important!

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today and have the world see you for how beautiful you really are!

* Please make sure the person you are signing up really wants to go through with the event. Moderators of the pageant cannot check with everyone to see if they willingly signed up. Thank you.

( ooc: this is the ic sign-up post for the beauty pageant player plot! ooc sign-ups are here! it is not mandatory to tag this post to join the event, but it is mandatory to comment on the ooc post, so head on over if you wanna join! )

What do you think of this swimsuit? Do you like laser cats? Would you wear this? This is of critical importance for me to know. Thank you for your time.

[ The first thing that should be obvious to anyone viewing this video is that Yosuke Hanamura (

youraffection) is not alone. The second thing may be that he is having a very bad day. It’s a shot of him literally tied to the bottom of the school’s flagpole with several layers of rope that Eleanor Lamb (

notyourutopian) has just finished tying off. Standing off to one side is Yukiko Amagi (

burningblossoms), holding up a small sign stating: 'Local Boy learns a valuable lesson about consent.' She doesn’t say anything yet, but there’s a grimly satisfied look on her face as she looks at the camera.

Yosuke groans, trying to duck his head and hide his face. But let’s be real, who else would it be?

Eleanor gives the ropes a firm jerk once the knot is tied, to make sure they won't come loose without help, and then steps a bit to the side, her hands on her hips as she not-quite-glares at Yosuke. ]

So, Yosuke. What have we learned today?

[ Yosuke grimaces, what’s left of his dignity probably properly trampled under their shoes by now. ] Are you kidding me...?

[ Eleanor glances from him to the camera to Yukiko, then back to him. ] The sooner you answer, the sooner this is all over.

[ Yosuke sighs, hanging his head. ] "Ask first"...

Mmhmm. Ask first because...?

Because if I don’t someone’s going to steal my phone and take embarrassing videos--hey, wait--are you live streaming???

( Boy we sure are livestreaming! This can only end well... )

Minako's Valentine's Day Festa!

(a.k.a. I clearly don't have enough sugar in my system, let's fix that)

So the 'Kami twins are planning a super cute blind date thing, but is there anyone who doesn't wanna do that but still wants to spend Valentine's Day in a relatively not depressing way? Because I was thinking of requesting the RU Cooking Club's kitchen the day of to make stuff. Chocolates, cookies, truffles, macaroons, cupcakes-- the works. Maybe some traditional Japanese treats too, if I can find the right ingredients.

We could eat everything we make during a movie marathon or board game tournament, or you can leave right after you make your goodies, whatever you want.

[ooc: If there's enough interest I'll put up a log later!]

[ 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!)
