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. ]

[ 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!

[myblueskies]

Yes! Mister Adrien told me about them! You go and do fun things and eat strawberry shortcake and you might need to be a grown up because after people go on dates they get married and that's a grown up thing but I could just not get married after, I don't know if that is an actual rule about dates!

[So you don't know who you are going with?] That sounds like a good way to make a new friend!

[reloves]

Don't worry, you definitely don't have to get married after a date. It's just like you said.. a nice opportunity to meet other people!

[ Even though there's definitely love and sometimes more involved, but sshh, she'll let the child stay pure. Especially when he's being so cute, unlike most kids Minako has met. ]

I guess blind dates are kind of about seeing whether you get along with each other or not, you know? If you have fun on the date, then you know you should get in touch more often with that person afterwards!

[myblueskies]

Okay! Because I think you got to be bigger to get married. [It will be nice to make a new friend. Especially if they got on and could get in touch with that person more.]

It's a really good idea! You and Chikusa are really nice to plan for everyone to have fun like this!

[reloves]

Aw, you think so? You're so cute!

[ Unlike certain other children Minako has dealt with. ]

We just want to make sure everyone has a fun day! So if you sign up and end up having fun, then that's enough of a reward for us.

[myblueskies]

[He pulls a face at that, he's not cute! Cute is for babies and puppies!]

I bet everyone will have fun! And make lots of new friends so it's a really good thing that you are doing!

[reloves]

[ Nope, it's totally too late. You're cute now, Romeo, and everyone will know it!! ]

I hope so! And even though there may be bad ayakashi around, there's already a lot of people who said they'll help fight them so everyone else won't be bothered by them on their dates.

[myblueskies]

I'll help too! We can keep all the bad ayakashi away so everyone can have a good day!

[reloves]

Oh, do you fight ayakashi already?

[ It's surprising, but then again.. Nanako is a god, and she seems even younger than Romeo. ]

Isn't that dangerous for you..?

[myblueskies]

Of course! [Not many. But he will fight ayakashi if they need to be fought!] I'm a shinki so it's my job to help my god! I can't let her go into danger alone!

[reloves]

[ Oh no, that's so sweet.. ]

It sounds like your goddess is really lucky to have you with her. [ And for once, Minako proves she can be gentle with kids - she smiles softly. ] Good job on being so brave. If you end up needing some help at all during that day, feel free to look for me, okay? I'll be around!

[myblueskies]

I'm lucky to have her too! We are a good team!

[He smiles, happy at the praise and then nods at the offer.] Okay! If you need help just tell me too! I'm Romeo!

[reloves]

I'm Minako. It's nice to meet you, Romeo!

[ Definitely not going to ask for help from a kid, Minako's way too prideful for that.. But she'll be nice and not say that. ]

[myblueskies]

It's nice to meet you too miss Minako! I hope all the dates go really well! Are you going on a date too?

[reloves]

[ She shakes her head. ]

No way! I really like dates, but it'd be kind of weird if the person organising all of this went on one too, you know? Then there wouldn't be anyone around to make sure everyone else's dates are doing well! It's a very important duty!

[ That, and some other reasons that are more awkward to explain. So it's easier to stick to the simple one. ]

[myblueskies]

It is! You should still have fun though and find someone to go on a date with another day!

[reloves]

Well.. If you're going to put it like that, how could I protest?

[ Minako is pretty love-obsessed, after all.. ]

Don't worry, I'll make sure to find a date for myself too sooner or later. People are lining up already, I'm sure!

[myblueskies]

I hope you do and you have a really fun Valentines day!
