Hellooooooo everyone!

It's January, and you know what that means-- February is next month! Which means... Valentine's Day is right around the corner!

Last year, we had a really fun time all having, um, a fun series of, uh-- you know-- dates! A lot of people met each other and there was great food and drink and everything like that.

So, I'm gonna do it again! I've set up the boxes in Olympia and Wyver again, so drop your names in for a great Valentine's Dinner!

(ooc: You is doing her Valentine's matchmaking again! Info and signups here.)

I remember last years event was quite fun. Your cooking and show was incredibly impressive as well. I would be happy to attend again.

[ayes]

I'm glad you had a good time, Mr. Edgeworth! I hope we have an even better one this year!

let me get this straight

thesa station is going to crash into earth
there's this storm coming
all of elnysa is at risk

and people want to go clothes shopping
and go on dates?

wth is wrong with u people?

[ayes]

nothings wrong with us!
but like

its still important to keep morale up right
we should still try to live normal lives

Looking to keep morale up, You?

I'll sign up again. Of course, given the situation, some of us might not make it to Valentine's Day.

[ayes]

yeah! you bet!!

also you shouldnt say things like that!!! speaking of morale
everyone is going to make it to then and we are going to have FUN

[hellzone]

I'm helping! [ Yoshiko cheerfully volunteers herself, with a big grin. ]

[ayes]

I really appreciate it, Yoshiko-chan!

Though, are you sure you wouldn't rather, like... get matched with someone? I took care of this all on my own last time. [Beat.] Mostly. I had a little help.

[hellzone]

I don't think many people here would be a good fit for me. After all, who among us is truly fit to be called my little demon? Most would tremble in the presence of Yohane!

[ or, more likely, they'd just think she's fucking weird. And that's the big reason why Yoshiko doesn't really want to sign up and would rather help You out instead. ]

[ayes]

[There's a long pause.]

Didn't you... go on a date with that vampire girl?

[hellzone]

[ yes she did. And Yoshiko isn't even bothering to hide the fact that she's blushing something fierce as You mentions that vampire girl. ]

Diva's different.

[ayes]

Really?

...what makes her different?

[hellzone]

She's...well to start with, she's okay with all the 'little demon' stuff. I know that you and the rest of Aqours are as well, but there are totally some people who aren't.

[ayes]

That's not that different! Plenty of people probably find it like... your charm point! I bet we've got loads of fans back home who think it's cute.

[hellzone]

But we're not back home, are we.

[ There's a pause before Yoshiko sighs. ] Arrrrrgh, I just need to get over myself! Things are fine!

[ayes]

[Okay. There's a pause.] I'm kinda... getting the feeling that I stepped into something that's bugging you, Yoshiko-chan.

[hellzone]

It's just...she's a real vampire. Like, an actual drink your blood, has fangs, really cool, lives for a super long time vampire. And I'm not. Diva can totally do better.

[ayes]

Yeah, I know. I was a little worried about that, honestly. I thought she might, um, want to eat you! But she got really offended at that.

[A breath.] It's kinda up to her if she can do better or not, right?

[christmasmint]

[She'd be upset if this didn't seem to coming from a girl. Riley thinks she means well. She doesn't have it in her heart to discourage a kid's fun in light of the current circumstances or ever really.]

Can't date, but I can help set up. What do you need?

[ayes]

uhhhh
okay well money to help rent the place (if we still can) will be good
i did all the cooking and performances last year but if someone wants to help with them i wouldnt say no

are you sure you cant go on a date? itll be fun!

[christmasmint]

I can work on that depending on how this shakes out.

[Aka if she's still alive or not.] And I'm sure. I don't really do fun.

[ayes]

well ok if you say so
but i think youd have a good time if you came!

which part did you want to help with?

[christmasmint]

I can make an appearance if it will help.

It'd be best if I sent some money your way. I haven't cooked anything better than edible in years.

[ayes]

money definitely helps!
dont worry i can do all the cooking, i like to cook and bake a lot!

i just want to make sure everyones having a good time

[They could all use it.]

[christmasmint]

I'll make sure you get the money then. [Her good times are long over, but she can't not indulge any girl.]

[ayes]

thanks a lot! dont worry, im fine with doing most of the work
i like to cook a lot, especially for something fun like this

its just expensive

[christmasmint]

I can try if you're overwhelmed at any point. Otherwise, you'll get the money.

[ayes]

okay, thanks!
do you like to cook too?

[christmasmint]

I did. I liked to bake too.

[kikoku]

This is some sort of holiday about dating?
[This is much less up his alley than the last new holiday he learned about here!!]

[ayes]

Sorta, I guess! It's a holiday to be with your loved one, so... it's real romantic!

[kikoku]

Ah, I see.


... I like Halloween better.
[This surely comes as no surprise given who Law chooses to be as a person.]

Does that mean you're dating someone, if you're having this event, then?

[ayes]

Huh? Me--?! [Were this video, he'd see her go red in the face.] No, not at all! I mean, I'm just doing it to help other people out, you know? M-make matches and all!

[kikoku]

Hmm. You don't think it's hypocritical of you? How are people supposed to trust your judgement when you haven't found one for yourself?

[Is he doing this mostly to bully You? Maybe.]

[ayes]

It's not hypocritical at all! You've just gotta know a little bit about romance, that's all!

Maybe I just haven't found the person for me yet!

[kikoku]

No, you're still young, I'm sure you haven't.
[A small concession, he doesn't want to teaser her too badly]

I'm just wondering how you can know anything about romance at your age.

[ayes]

[A frustrated noise.] Nn... it's pretty simple to know how people might be compatible, you know! Romance isn't that hard.

[kikoku]

[There's a long pause in which You is free to assume a deep frown is creasing Law's face because that's what's happening.]

... I suppose we all have our own skillsets. Matchmaking happens to be in yours.
[Law hasn't even mastered platonic relationships let alone romance.]

[ayes]

[She feels

judged somehow.]

I don't think it's really that weird or anything.

[kikoku]

It's not. [He's the one who's weird, it's fine.]

Will you be cooking for this event? You mentioned that was another talent of yours.

[ayes]

[Thank you for the change of subject.] Oh, yeah! I'm gonna make dinner and a whole bunch of dessert pastries! I did it last year, too.

[kikoku]

I see.

[Hmmm.]
I don't suppose the dates part of this event is optional?
