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!

In the wrong way, unfortunately.

[He shook his head, smirking a bit.]

And yourself?

[circumsutus]

Only a few weeks. [Not long at all.] It's been interesting getting settled in.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Certainly. Though its more a problem of the idea rather than any living situational issues.

[circumsutus]

Is there anyone else from your world here?

I just got back from a two-week hiatus. I'd love to continue, but if you'd like to drop that's fine!

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Unfortunately so. Two people as of now.

[And what a headache they could be.]

I suppose there are those from yours here?

oh let's keep going~

[circumsutus]

Just some of my students. I doubt any of them decided to sign me up for this.

Yay~

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

None with minds so devious? Or scared of the results?

[Even with the mask, he looked an interesting fellow; Jade's type of person with the lab coat. The screw in his head was a marvel, though.]

[circumsutus]

More the second than the first.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade chuckled.]

I can respect that.

[circumsutus]

Oh, you can respect that? [He's far more used to fear than respect.]

Wow, I'm so behind on all the things. I'm sorry

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

You seem surprised; did I say something wrong?

[His voice is filled with amusement, though.]

that's okay

[circumsutus]

Most people don't respect a teacher because he scares his students.

You are too kind <3

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Fear is sometimes essential. Reactions are entertaining and doing something out of the norm can certainly be refreshing.

[circumsutus]

It certainly can. [Stein is well known for doing things out of the norm.] So, tell me about yourself.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

There's not much to tell~

[The other had told worlds about himself already so Jade figured it was only polite.]

I'm a soldier for an army not from this world, as many of us are.

[circumsutus]

Just a soldier?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Soldier, scientist, naught past that.

[circumsutus]

What kind of scientist?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade chuckled.]

Many say it depends on what I have in front of me; macabre, most would say.

[An enigmatic answer, for sure, but honest in some regards. Jade dabbled in this and that and the other, and some things were better left unsaid for certain.]

[circumsutus]

Biology?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

You could say that.

[circumsutus]

You don't show your hand easily, do you?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I prefer to shy my cards until otherwise proven necessary.

[circumsutus]

Now, where's the fun in that?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

It's fun for me. I'm not exclusively responsible for others' entertainment.
