EVENT - VALENTINE'S DAY
◣ 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!

It wasn't.
[ It was awkward and probably a little embarrassing on his part and she was nice enough and pretty but he was not ready for this. ]
I was going to head back to the villa when I saw you over here.
no subject
[That's weird and stupid. So they must be magic.]
Aw, you didn't have fun at all? That sucks. I'm not doing anything fun here, though, just waiting until cleanup. Or whatever else.
[Also wow suddenly not missing John, he would have probably signed her up for something like that as a prank and thought it the most hilarious thing ever.]
no subject
[ he was too awkward to enjoy himself okay
which raises the question: why do what he's about to do? ]
Hey-- do you wanna dance?
1/4
no subject
[LIKE AT A PROM OR SOMETHING?]
no subject
Uhhh…
no subject
no subject
[ he knew he shouldn't have asked ]
--never mind. If you don't wanna dance it's fine. I'm just gonna head back.
1/2
[And try not to be blinded as she teleports off to find a place to change.
Not that it's hard, it's just getting a particular card out of her sylladex and swapping outfits but like hell was she doing that where anybody can see her.
This counts as a special occasion, right? It's totally justified, clearly!]
no subject
Sure feels fancier than before.]
'Sup?
no subject
Oh okay.
Bon suddenly feels desperately underdressed. He clears his throat and rubs the back of his neck as he looks at her. ]
That's-- you look uh-- you look really good. In that dress. It's um... it's nice.
[
jade you're hot oh no]no subject
[She miiiight have been a little overeager to have an excuse to dress up. It's just fun, what's the harm in that?]
Figured it wouldn't be appropriate to go out on a dance floor dressed like a waitress, right?
[C-casual as always, huh Jade...]
no subject
[ SUDDEN REGRET okay.
Okay.
Bon holds a hand out toward her and stands a little straighter, trying to look for all the world like this is something he has definitely done before. ]
Shall we?
no subject
[Awkwardness? Who's being awkward, she sure doesn't notice
dogs can smell fear, not awkwardGive her a moment, she's still new to this, he meant for her to take his hand right??? OKAY THEN.
Truthfully, he says it's not hard, but Jade still doesn't want to fuck up and ruin a friend's fun.]
I'm surprised at how little fish there are in this theme, compared to Christmas at least. How do people usually celebrate this thing?
no subject
[ He stops somewhere along the outer edges of the dance floor--there was no way he was taking her to the middle of it--and turns to face her. With a sort of strange determination, he takes the hand in his and places it on his shoulder, takes a hold of her other hand with his left, and then, with a deep breath, places his right at her lower back. ]
In Japan, girls give the boys in their lives--whether family or friends or even the guy they might like--chocolate, usually homemade. In a month from now, on the fourteenth of March, guys return the favor. We call that White Day.
[ He had started to move during his little speech, carefully and slowly guiding her around. ]
no subject
Ah--
His hand is weirdly distracting.
No, come on, Jade--focus! Follow his lead!]
Family or friends even? See, I tried to tell John that it wouldn't be weird if I made a card for him on that holiday, but he had to go all stupid freako on me about "redrom" stuff. I think those trolls made him crazy, yeesh, not everything's about redrom.
[But then--]
Aw, I didn't make anything for you today, sorry.
no subject
It's alright. You didn't know, for one. And I'm not really a fan of chocolate.
[ And then he's turning them, a brief but quick spin around, before settling back into simply moving side to side again. ]
I'm gonna guess redrom means romantic love, then.
