EVENT - VALENTINE'S DAY

[thalassino]

◣ VALENTINE'S PARTY ◢

✗ The host club's doors are closed for most of the morning, locals scurrying in and out with an odd flair to help set up for the big event. That sure is a lot of pink and red being carted inside. They must be going all out for this Zelos fellow. Who knows why.

Residents that wander around the plaza for any reason will find a local approaching them, hyping up some aspect of the party that might appeal to them. The lights, the music, the dancing! The chance for gossip! Here, if your date goes poorly, we'll treat you to a drink. If your date goes well, we'll treat you to a drink. If you just want a drink for the sake of it... hey, you get the picture! It's something for both the single and taken alike, and the people of the city seem to be more than happy reminding you of this fact whenever they can.

✗ When it hits noon, all characters who have signed up for blind dates will receive an anonymous text. They will be wished a Happy Valentine's Day, congratulated on their upcoming date, and be asked to arrive at the host club between 5:30 and 6:00 pm. They will be given more instructions upon their arrival. And wear something flattering~! <3

✗ On their arrival to the club, blind date participants will be given a mask to wear. Once they put it on (and ONLY when they put it on), they will be given a number and escorted inside. The tables are covered in tableclothes of varying shades of white, red, and pink, elaborate flower arrangements in the center. While you are waiting for your date, feel free to enjoy the berries and chocolates set at each table, all appropriately cut into hearts and fish.

The meal itself will be three courses - an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The menus offered will be quite broad, noting quite well for allergies. Everything just seems to be very... pink. Even well-cooked meat and dark chocolate delicacies has been given a splash of decorative color in favor of the holiday. Is that candy on the top? Oh well. It doesn't look like a "CALL ME XOXO" heart will really kill you.

Masks will be difficult to take off until at least one course of food has been consumed. It seems like someone wants you to enjoy the spirit of your "blind date"!

A NOTE: The masks will block both identity AND, in some cases, a person's gender, until they are removed. Gender identification will be up to the players!

✗ At 6:30, the club is opened for everyone else. Feel free to adventure up to the bar or glance around at the couples. They might be a little unrecognizable, what, with those strange masks on. They look so familiar, but you just can't place who is who. Oh well. Mingle a bit and solve the mystery with those around you! Have a drink. Talk about your love life or lack thereof. A bartender is always there to lend you an ear.

✗ At 7:00, the tables are cleared, the lighting is dimmed down, music is turned up, and the center of the club becomes a dance floor! Plush red couches line the edges for those that have had a rough night, and small tables of chocolates, sweets, heart-shaped h'orderves and various colors of roses dot the area. Locals are working alongside the host club and maid cafe to make sure things are kept in stock. No getting close to the bar if you're under-aged or we may just have to end your evening right here and now!

BLIND DATE - CLOSED TO PARTICIPANTS

[thalassino]

[There are 12 tables arranged in a circle on each side of the floor, with one slightly larger table at the apex. Each has a number. Sit down and enjoy yourselves~]

TABLE ONE

[thalassino]

TABLE 1
Angelo & Asuka Langley Sohryu

[beauchevalier]

[When Angelo arrives at the club and sits down at his table, he half wonders why he has to wear this mask. But oh well, he'll take it for what it's worth. Once his date arrives, the person will see he's dressed up, smell the cologne off of him (but it's not a bad scent), and has a silk black hairtie in his hair. He's also half bored as he's munching on the berries at the table while sipping on some wine he ordered from one of the waiters. There's half hope his date will show up eventually or else he might consider leaving.]

TABLE TWO

[thalassino]

TABLE 2
Dr. Franken Stein & Jade Curtiss

[circumsutus]

[Stein had not signed himself up for a blind date. Still, he can do his best to enjoy himself. He didn't bother to get dressed up for this, and the mask+glasses combo is a bit uncomfortable, but this is a good way to meet new people.]

TABLE THREE

[thalassino]

TABLE 3
Ryuuji Suguro & Honey Kisaragi

[secondcoolest]

[ One day he will find out who signed him up for this.

Unfortunately, Bon was rather duty-bound to show up. The last thing he wanted to be was the insensitive prick who stood someone up for a date, even if this wasn't something he'd ever do on his own.

But now he was here already, and his date wasn't, and he was just sort of awkwardly picking at the berries on the table (avoiding the ones shaped like fish) while he waited, barely resisting the urge to rip off the mask and leave. ]

TABLE FOUR

[thalassino]

TABLE 4
Selphie Tilmitt & Naoto Shirogane

Here We Go!

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie was a bag of nerves. Soon as she signed her name she wasn't sure. But this has to be the night, it has to be - she meets the man of her dreams here and now or never. Or so she hopes.

Her plan was to hide who she was as much as possible - because Selphie feels that it must be her, how she looks, something that's keeping her from being attractive to men. So she turns up in a red cocktail dress, her hair in girls, and her make up delicately done.

Sitting at her table, Selphie picks up berries and chews on them nervously, glancing around every so often to see if her date even shows up*

TABLE FIVE

[thalassino]

TABLE 5
Denzel Crocker & Duke Pantarei

[radiantwingedone]

[ Well.

This was odd. But the locals didn't try to take his book, but let him take that and the notes with him to the assigned a table after getting this mask on.

Duke will be reading here, assuming it was some sort of host club theme or something. ]

TABLE SIX

[thalassino]

TABLE 6
Hijiri Minase & Fai D. Flourite

[akumanotrill]

[Hijiri was rather excited about all this and he quickly donned his mask and sat down at his assigned table, waiting for his 'date' to arrive.]

TABLE SEVEN

[thalassino]

TABLE 7
Davesprite & Rolo Lamperouge

[heartstoppingly]

[Rolo was rather bewildered really... He didn't sign up for this... Why did he have to do this? Also, he knew nothing about dating!

Yet, still he'd gone to the host club at the assigned time. It was ingrained in him to follow orders after all so he couldn't ignore the instructions and he was soon given a mask and escorted to his table.]

TABLE EIGHT

[thalassino]

TABLE 8
Shiro Fujimoto & Ky Kiske

TABLE NINE

[thalassino]

TABLE 9
Mithos Yggdrasill & Minako Aino

TABLE TEN

[thalassino]

TABLE 10
Izumo Kusanagi & Ryoko Asakura

TABLE ELEVEN

[thalassino]

TABLE 11
Laharl & Namine

TABLE TWELVE

[thalassino]

TABLE 12
Dwight Hendrickson & Washu Hakubi

TABLE THIRTEEN

[thalassino]

TABLE 13
Zelos Wilder, Ganymede, & Hisoka Kurosaki

The largest of the tables, along with the most comfortable chairs. The locals have went out of their way for the leader of the host club and his.... ahem, lovely dates.

6:30 ONWARDS - OPEN TO ALL

[thalassino]

OPEN BAR

[thalassino]

[Minors will not be served alcohol, but instead various fizzy and fruity drinks of romantic colors. No faking your age around here, mister!]

DANCE FLOOR

[thalassino]

Re: 6:30 ONWARDS - OPEN TO ALL

[pierrotdemonique]

[ He's been here from the start, really but buggered if anyone really knew why. You may have seen him around during your date, he may have walked by your table or sat down looking cute but declining any offer of scraps. At any rate, he's sitting on the bartop which is possibly the best observational spot anyone can get for a little dog.

But he's pleased. Tonight was a success and his darling belles looked absolutely adorable. You can tell by the way his tail's wagging though his face looks as impassive as ever. Far less expressive than his normal form, to be sure.

He's mostly here for observational purposes... both to see how his girls did the entire night and how those blind dates he signed certain people up for worked out. You're welcome, Bon and Shiro. ]
