Posted by: Minako
Date: February 8th

[ First there's a mess of blonde hair, as if someone turned the camera on a little too quickly and excitedly before being fully ready, but then Minako's face - with a big smile - fully appears. ]

So, everyone.. Valentine's Day is coming up, and you all know what that means! [ She moves her eyebrows up and down a few times. ] Of course I'm sure some of you already have found that special someone to spend that special day with, but there must be some people who are still worried about what they'll do on that day!

Well, if you're one of those people, then have no fear! You don't have to spend all day feeling down when you can instead dedicate it to finding the love of your life! That's what I'm here to help you with this year. You see, you can sign up for having one or more quick blind dates on Valentine's Day. Just leave me a comment here if you're interested, and tell me if you're interested in one date, or two, or three, or.. well, maybe someone will set the record for most blind dates in one day?

[ She laughs. ]

Anyway, once you've done that, people will randomly get assigned together and you'll be told the location of your date or dates on Valentine's Day itself! It's that simple!

And maybe by now you're thinking, "aw geez, Minako, I know you're a totally cute and super capable girl, but how could even you do all of that all by yourself?!" Never fear once more, since I have a super great partner in all of this who will tell you some more about this great opportunity!

[ Minako seems to reach for something off camera, muttering a few things under her breath at whatever is there, and then Chikusa is dragged onto the video. Not entirely willingly, from the looks of it. ]

[In fact, Chikusa definitely isn't willing, as is obvious by the fact that he is aggressively not making eye contact with the camera. After a few moments, perhaps giving into the oppressive sparkling atmosphere which is around Minako, he grits out a sigh.]

...No more than three dates.

[They have not planned for more than three. He refuses to do more work.]

Also... we need some people willing to clean up ayakashi on that day, too. There's a variant which seems to be getting worked up about this holiday.... So we need cleaners. Tell us if you're interested....

[After a second, he weakly tries to pull out of Minako's grip not too unlike a cat.]

[ Minako doesn't seem like she'll let go just yet, which means there's a lame and weak tug of war happening on camera right now as Minako tries to maintain her near sparkly smile. ]

Yes, let us know! Now how do I..

[ She reaches over to the camera - thankfully letting go of Chikusa - and manages to shut the feed off after a moment or two. ]

I'll gladly support your fine and wonderful efforts -- if you'll do me the honor of giving me a small scrap of your time as a not-blind date that day!

[What else would she expect? He'd ask properly in person but one must strike while the iron is hot.]

[reloves]

[ And the iron is so very hot!

Minako pauses though, obviously thinking as she seems to hesitate for a moment. It's not really about Edge or what happened though as much as it's-- ]

Well.. It'd have to be a real small scrap though, you know! I'm the overseer for this whole deal, I can't just disappear off on a date for too long! There'd be chaos!

All of this sounds great. Is this what you were talking about during filming?

[reloves]

It sure is!!! You got a super duper exclusive sneak peek ahead of everyone else, so you should totally feel special! I don't just tell anyone my secrets like that!

[ Or.. well, she's kind of a blabbermouth when it comes to the not-too-serious stuff anyway, but sshh. It comes from the heart. ]

[sageprincess]

My... this is quite the undertaking!

[Guess who has two thumbs and is mildly terrified at the thought of these two teaming up.]

I do not think I shall be signing up to be paired off, but let me know if there is anything I can do to help. [Besides ayakashi fighting since... kinda need Minako for that one.]

[reloves]

[ Don't worry, Zelda, Minako is willing to show you mercy and not force you to sign up since she already knows about your Very Important Boyfriend now... 👀 ]

You can always help us find more people who could use this sort of thing! I'm sure some people might miss this post, and I want to make sure it'll be a really great day for everyone..! [ She smiles widely. Minako is Pure, yet also a natural disaster in the making. ] Also-- tell me if there's something I can do for your special Valentine's Day outside of all of this. I can always set set up something for you with a certain someone, you know...

[ EYEBROW WAGGLE. Definitely leaning more towards the natural disaster side of her here. ]

Tell your pal he needs to work on his film presence, Minako, and I have a very special request.

Can you sign two people up on one guy's word? And make sure they get at least one of those dates together?

[Sure, he could just ask out his brand-new crush, but on the other hand, this method gives Zhao heaps of plausible deniability. And Valentine's Day is too big a deal for a first date if it's an official first date. "Blind" dates, on the other hand....]

similarly private from here on out!

[reloves]

He's just a little shy!!

[ Which is not.. really true, but in Minako's bubbly rosey view of the world it sure seems to be. ]

But of course I can do that! What can a little rigging hurt if it's in the name of love, right? Can I know the super special reason for it though? [ In other words, hand over those sweet, sweet juicy details as payment. ]

This entire idea is ridiculous, but I suppose I can help in dealing with the ayakashi. If you have set locations planned, it'd be useful to know those in advance to make tracking them down more efficient.

[He's sure not going to be there the whole day, especially if Ren has something planned, but...honestly, even if Ren does have something planned, he's the kind of person who'd consider taking a break to fight some monsters a valid part of a date.]

[reloves]

[ Minako is totally ready to see a lot of super enthusiastic reactions to this roll in, because who wouldn't like the whole blind dates idea?

.. except then she sees this. Total disappointment. ]

I'm not going to deny it's nice of you to want to help with the whole ayakashi thing, but did you really have to call it ridiculous first, huh?! Don't rip on people when they're just trying to make other people's days a little better!

[ Goku is staring at the screen in confused fascination. There's something totally baffling about this whole post. ]

... Chikusa, Minako, you guys are friends? [ Subtly, implied question: Chikusa, you have friends? ]

[kokuyoyo]

[It is very likely that Chikusa isn't using his own phone for a reply here, if only because Minako's is so much closer. He still seems as tired as ever, although maybe that's just what other people look like next to Minako. It's not just him, right...?]

...We know each other.

And that's what she says.

[Chikusa doesn't really argue with people who declare himself his friend. It's a waste of energy, of which he has little and which they have a lot of.]

[reloves]

Yeah, we're totally friends!

[ This is once she's gotten her phone to herself again too, so she's totally 100% heard Chikusa's response and still decides this is the answer to that question anyway. Naturally. ]

No, we're more than that! We're fighting partners in the war for love!

How interesting...but won't it be quite complicated? For instance, I'm not really interested in dating women, so for such a service to be useful to me, it would have to take at least some basic preferences into account...but that's going to be a lot of work to keep track of and coordinate.

You might need more than two people. [Especially if one of them is Chikusa.

But, of course, this is Minako Aino. Komaeda really shouldn't doubt.]

[reloves]

Maybe you'd need two normal people, but we're super good at this! I mean, everyone knows I'm a total expert, but Chikusa is really good at organizing this sort of stuff. It's kind of hard to tell since he's sort of the quiet type, but he's great and super capable once you get to know him!

So.. you know, we can try to make it work out for you! Or maybe if you end up with some girls anyway, you can make it a platonic friend date? You know, to make new friends for Valentine's Day!

How did you get that guy to help out with something like this?

[reloves]

Huh, "help out"? He's practically the one who thought it up!

[ That's a half-truth, since it's more just Minako running wild with something he said.. But in Minako's ridiculous rose-filter mind, it's totally true. ]

I'm just the angel of love lending my amazing personality and cheer for it!

jumping in because I answer to no one

[rockthemonkey]

right its weird right??
chikusa is being totally weird right

[ Goku knew it. This totally doesn't seem like Chikusa's thing. Still, Goku has a new, important mission. ]

gojyo you sign up too
you gotta

[phantomtrick]

I'll help. Sounds like you need it.

Besides, I'm still single. A blind date wouldn't hurt.


[ Hey, he's not opposed to the idea. ]

[reloves]

A cute-looking cat-loving guy like you shouldn't just announce you're single this openly!! Before you know it you'll have at least three girls confessing their love for you here!

[ Minako, did you just ignore the fact he was signing up... Apparently this takes priority. ]

[doodlebuginette]

You know what? Sign me up for a date or two.

[She's not looking to find that special someone, but nothing is going to stop her from having a fun Valentine's Day. And honestly, she just wants to go on a date or two and smile and have a nice day.]

And you can count on me to help out with the ayakashi.

[reloves]

You sound like you're planning on having a productive Valentine's Day! Which is the best kind of Valentine's Day, really.

[ Because who just wants to sit on the couch at home and throw themselves a pity party? ]

We have a huge selection of cute and handsome people who signed up by now, so you'll probably end up pleasantly surprised!

[myblueskies]

[Romeo looks very excited as he turns on his video. This all sounds very fun!] Is Valentines day like Christmas with dates and strawberry shortcake? What's a blind date? Do we got to keep our eyes closed? Can I go on a date?

[reloves]

[ Oh gosh, it's an actual child. Not that this is a problem - if anything, it just makes Minako more excited. Surely he can go on a fun playdate for Valentine's Day if they can find someone in that age range, right? ]

Wow, so many questions at once! It really warms my heart to see kids so interested in Valentine's Day! [ Minako, don't say that as if you aren't literally 16 and still a kid too.. ] Do you know what dates are? Blind dates are a little like that, but you don't know who you're going on a date with until the date is already happening!

[ittenbari]

You're gonna make me go, aren't you?

[reloves]

Noooo, of course not! When have I ever forced you to do anything?

[ Except fetch her ball when it was super far away.. And other things.. ]

Although.. you don't have a special someone in your life, do you? This sort of thing could be good for you!

[spacebolin]

I'm willing to help with ayakashi.

And maybe one of the blind dates.

[Well there's no way this could end badly.]

[reloves]

[ Clearly it couldn't end badly! Especially not with Minako "nosy meddler" Aino, who lets no sign up go without questioning. ]

Interested in a date, huh~~? That's understandable, it's what Valentine's Day is all about! You should be following your heart!!

Text cause she's doing heaven knows what off-screen

[mylanceisbiggerthanyours]

What's Valentine's Day?

[First she's heard of it.

Nephenee, you know not what you have asked.]

[reloves]

You've never heard of the most important day of the year?!

[ Not that Nephenee is the first to ask this, so maybe Minako shouldn't be surprised.. But it's surprising anyway. How could there be places out there where Valentine's Day isn't a thing?! That feels pretty much impossible! ]
