VALENTINE'S DAY EVENT - BLIND DATING [OPEN]

[tarotcards]

WHO: Anyone and everyone! Even those who didn't sign up for the event!
WHERE: Anywhere in Recolle
WHEN: Valentine’s Day - Feb 14
WHAT: The log for the blind dates event! Awkward dates and disasters within.
WARNINGS: None!

It’s finally the fated day: Valentine’s.

Some of Recolle’s citizens might be going out, spending the day with their loved ones, while others might be sitting in bars, crying into their drinks. For a number of “lucky” ones, they might have gotten dragged into a blind date!

The Narukami twins have done their jobs. All the matches have been released. Partners have been assigned. Messages have been sent out. Now all that needs to happen are the actual dates. So, run free, everyone. The entire city is there to be their playground. They can go on their own respective dates, join up with other couples, spy on others, sabotage some, anything is fair game. After all, it’s not really fun if someone’s not crashing on another person’s party, right?

( ooc: As promised in the OOC sign-up post, here is the IC post for all the blind dates and related events to occur. This is an open mingle post, so multiple threads can happen anywhere and everywhere. Indicate if the thread is closed if you’d like to keep it private, however! Feel free to use the post as a general mingle as well. Anything is free game here! For any questions, please direct them over here and we’ll try to get back to you ASAP. Have fun! )

I learned from the best~

[ There's only so much he can do with his current level of cat herding experience, so Ryoji leaves the task of seating the rest of the cats to Souji, while he himself settles down with his lap cat, leg cat, shoulder cat, arm cat... And they're falling asleep... ]

Oh... I'll never be able to move or get up again. This is where I die.

[tarotcards]

[ It doesn't take long for Souji to herd all the cats to their proper seats. Luckily, some of them are small enough that he can fit multiple cats to a single chair or to sit even on the table. It truly is paradise. ]

Is that so? Then I guess that means I don't have to buy you any of the sweets or drinks they serve here...

[ Hm, if that's what Ryoji really wants, then sure. Souji can save some extra money. ]

[appraiser]

You're going to hasten my death? So cruel!

[ At least feed him; just pop a piece of jerky in Ryoji's mouth like he did for the cats. But the deal they made was a fully paid cat cafe visit, and Ryoji's not going to let him skimp. ]

A knight's duty to his prince should at least be to grant him one wish before he dies: I want to try the catnip tea. Lift the straw over here.

[tarotcards]

[ Souji definitely has every intention to pay for at least five different cakes and drinks for Ryoji so have no fear, Souji saved enough from his job for the date. He's been waiting for this. ]

Ah, your majesty does have a point. Then so be it. [ He places a hand against his chest, bowing his head. ] I, Souji Narukami, your loyal knight, will serve to you till the bitter end. Whatever final wishes you may have, I will grant every single one of them.

Beginning with your catnip tea.

[ And Souji does exactly as Ryoji requests, lifting up the drink and positioning the straw for Ryoji to drink ]

[appraiser]

[ Souji's ready compliance to what was supposed to be a joke takes Ryoji completely by surprise, so that he almost recoils from the cup in his face. But he's not one to back off either, so as embarrassing as it is, he takes a sip: the tea is minty, faintly of lemon... and could use an extra cup or two of sugar.

At least somebody at this table would enjoy it though, so in mid-sip, Ryoji sticks the tip of his tongue over the end of the straw to hold the tea within it, and lifts the straw out of the glass, letting two drops fall onto Souji's hand.

Cats on the table, pushing their faces at Souji's hands. Cats off Ryoji's lap, finally granting him freedom. It's a good trade, he thinks. ]

[ If there's one thing to know about Souji, it's that he's willing to roll with any joke. It's hard to throw him off on anything, so better luck next time, Ryoji. He does chuckle, though, when Ryoji drops a few drops of his drink onto his hand and all the cats start gathering. ]

You should pick out a few items on the menu to order, for both yourself and our feline companions.

[appraiser]

[ With his free hands, Ryoji jiggles the menu out from under one of the cat's paws and props it straight up so Souji can read the back while he scans the front... or at least the top half of the front, seeing as another cat steps over his arms and plunks itself right in front of the menu. It meows at him, and Ryoji meows back. ]

Let's see... They have the classic purritos. Oh, but potato sameowsas sound good too. Maybe we can split it? As for drinks— [ He pardons himself as he lifts the cat's paws to see the list of drinks below ] —it has to be the pumpkitten spice frappé! While they're still having winter flavors!
