video, un: Yousoro★

[When the video turns on, You is standing next to a wooden box, about the size of a large microwave oven, her hand resting on its top. She seems to be in the marketplace of Olympia.

She waves at the camera.]
Hi~!

So, this place has months that are pretty much just like the ones on Earth, right? Which means that we're coming up on a very special holiday: Valentine's Day! Seriously, it's right around the corner!

If you don't have it where you're from, Valentine's Day is a holiday all about love, and romance, and celebrating the people you love! [There's the slightest of pauses. She frowns a little bit.] Actually, to tell the truth, it's a little bit different in Japan, but-- but that's not important right now! The important thing is, it's almost here!

And I know that since we're all still uprooted from home, it's probably really lonely to spend Valentine's Day by yourself. Sooooo... I'm gonna find everyone a match! [She beams at the camera, using her thumbs and fingers to form a heart-shape in front of her chest. It's honestly kinda precious.

She breaks the heart shape to tap the top of the wooden box.]
Seriously, I'm gonna do it! I've got a box set up in Olympia, and one set up in Wyver, and you can fill out the form and put it in the box, and I'll go full-speed-ahead at finding you a perfect match! And, we'll all have a big dinner party with your new date!

[Another pause. Her expression turns sheepish.] Actually, if anyone wanted to help chip in money for that... renting the place is gonna be really expensive...

--but yeah, you should sign up! It's going to be great!

Such gifts would never work in Ishgard. There would always be an expectation of reciprocation of some kind. Particularly amongst the nobility.

They say she did. After her passing, they added a heart-shaped escutcheon to the family's coat of arms. Supposedly she carried such a thing into battle.

I'm glad you think so.

Ah, I see.

Well. Do people often find love on this day? Or do too many fail to muster courage in the face of potential rejection?

[ She can't do it. This girl is too earnest to put down over this one because of her distrust for the nobility. ]

Let us hope so.

And you're aiming to help that happen here, I see?

Are you organising a party or ball for them as well? Or just the matches?

Such engagements are hard work. I wish you best of luck and success with it.
