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. ]

[Shun would consider that "common decency", really. But this whole "setting up romance" thing is something he's discussed his reservations with before, considering his own boyfriend has love as one of his domains.]
That sort of connection is supposed to happen naturally. Throwing people at three random other people in the space of a day isn't going to create anything meaningful. I suppose some people might get some entertainment out of it, but people enjoy all sorts of ridiculous things.
[There's not necessarily shame in it being ridiculous - some people embrace that, and Shun's not too fussed about it - but he's still going to point it out.]
no subject
Even though she's annoyed at the attitude anyway. ]
That's exactly it. It's just fun. Do you know how many people might feel alone or left out, especially on a day like Valentine's Day? I'm just giving people the option to have something to do or new people to meet to take their mind off that. It's not even something anyone has to do, the option is just there. Who knows, maybe someone might meet someone during it and actually end up dating long term for real, but even if no one does, at least people had fun.
[ At least it's a more serious reply than most, even if it's kind of on the cold side. ]
If you have such a problem with it, then just ignore it instead of complaining about it. Some of us are actually trying to do something for other people's emotional states as well.
no subject
[Speaking from experience. He's been in that position himself.]
If I had "such a problem", I'd be using stronger words than ridiculous and not offering to clear out the ayakashi around it. You're taking a strong opinion out of one word and the fact that I disagree with the overall method, but the fact is that if I did have a problem that strong, I would have ignored it.
no subject
[ That's.. definitely not how that saying goes, but Minako ever properly remembering a saying would be a small miracle. ]
If you're going to offer help in that kind of sour way, I don't even need it. There's plenty of other people who offered to help out with the ayakashi and who won't totally ruin the mood of the day.
no subject
You can feel free to put your pride over the safety of others, but I was mostly asking out of convenience for knowing the locations. I'll be around regardless of what you think of it.
no subject
[ Because she's at least not going to cause a huge fuss on the day itself to keep him away or anything.. It'd just ruin the mood. And he is doing something that's good for everyone, she supposes, even though she doesn't like anything of what he's saying. ]
no subject
[Even if ayakashi are more of a legitimate threat than just a normal interruption, he is essentially already volunteering to prevent other interruptions. He'd be undercutting his own work by interrupting dates.]
no subject
[ Then all she has to do is try as hard as possible to ignore him if she happens to run into him on the day itself. ]
