IV/Pearl | 02/06 | Afternoon

[ineptus]

Tea for Two is a little corner cafe that doesn't look very impressive on the outside and is pretty small on the inside, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in environment. You might expect it to be more like a little bookshop than a cafe with the comfortable reading chairs, the corner benches and the quiet atmosphere, but it's definitely a cafe. They only serve tea, drink wise, and have a stellar selection of both hot and cold options. Everything is organic, including the small number of snacks they offer.

Your badges are colored midnight blue and display "IV" and "Pearl" in white letters.

[rebelia]

[ Is this Leia's doing? It must be. There's nobody else he talked to about the blind dates, and who would sign him up for a date?

With the gift bag of goodies from Mabel in tow, IV looks both ways before entering Tea for Two. He's never been, but the atmosphere is cozy enough from a brief scan as he glances around for his mysterious match. Given his track record, he's probably late.

He holds the badge his palm, name side up, in hopes of being spotted without wearing it. In spite of his efforts to look calm, he can't help the slight glower. ]

[spiritpearls]

[ Pearl is nervous, but excited. Her first blind date! Clearly this was going to be magical. Especially with a location as cute sounding as Tea for Two. Needless to say, Pearl has Expectations for this date.

She's waiting inside, standing near the door to wait for her date. She's wearing a simple lavender dress with a white cardigan and flats, along with several bracelets. Her badge is displayed on her cardigan with her name.

You're in luck, IV, because Pearl is waiting with eyes raking over each person as they walk in. When she sees IV enter with a midnight blue badge in his hand she practically bounces over. He's... interesting looking? Maybe? Is that hair natural? ]

Hello! Are you here for the blind date? [ Gesturing toward his badge with one hand and pointing at her own with the other. ]

Vector/Yuto | 02/06 | Afternoon

[ineptus]

The theater you're going to isn't the biggest and the best, but it's affordable and has a great selection of movies to choose from! Their snacks are delicious, their chairs are comfortable and it's not super packed so you're sure to get a good seat. The question is do you really want to watch whatever they're showing. Predictably it includes some romance options for the upcoming holiday, but maybe you just want to sit in the back and spend some more quality time getting to know one another instead!

Your badges are colored pale green and display "Vector" and "Yuto" in glittery black letters.

[darkduelist]

<sub>[Yuto leans on the nearest wall, arms crossed over his chest as he's watching people passing by. He doesn't know who decided to send him on this "blind date", but he'll find out sooner or later.

Right now, he's waiting. And the moment he sees the person he's supposed to meet here, he'll tell them that he has no intention to go on any dates with anyone. Simple as that. He doesn't want to be here, after all. Who knows, maybe the person he's supposed to meet will in the same situation. It would be even better that way.

But what if it's somebody he knows? Well, it doesn't matter. It'll still be the same. Even if it will be a bit embarrassing to him.]</sub>

[jyajyaaan]

[Vector almost laughs out loud when he realizes with whom he has been set up with. Out of all the possible candidates...-!!

Ok, time to play it good.

Tugging his dark shirt in place and making sure that the red bead of his necklace sits right, he heads over to the other duelist - and ambushes him with an friendly almost tackle-hug from behind.]

Yuto! Hi! Fancy seeing you here! Did you sign up for the blind date game too?

Rio/Leia | 02/06 | Afternoon

[ineptus]

As with everything in CERES, there's more selection here than you probably ever needed. Cuisine choices inspired from every corner of the world, browsing the selections hand in hand with your partner, food made right in front of you; This is truly an ideal place to get your romance on!

Your badges are colored plum and display "Rio" and "Leia" in black letters.

1/2

[journaler]

[Well, here she is. Mabel has been secretive about who she's supposed to be meeting--even now, on the day of the big event! All she knows is that she's supposed to be here, at the food stalls, looking for this mysterious person via a name tag like hers. Clever, she has to admit.

Dressed for the occasion, she looks down as she walks, and reads her tag upside down as she tugs at it with her hand. It's pinned proudly to her orange jacket.

"Leia."]

Hmm...

[journaler]

[This might take a while, she supposes. She'll look around some more, but predictably, since she's literally surrounded by food, she's... quickly distracted.]

Oh, wow!

[Catching sight of a crowded restaurant opening where a chef is showing off his abilities for a cheering public, Leia dashes towards the commotion with a grin stretching her face. It smells good, too...

What is he cooking?]

Cain/Gundam | 02/06 | Afternoon

[ineptus]

This little frozen yogurt shop is a bit chilly, but it's sheer cuteness has to make up for that. You're looking at pastel colors everywhere from the wall color to the puzzle-piece shaped tables to the marshmallow chairs to sit on. The far wall is lined with yogurt dispensers in an impressive selection of flavors, most with vegan alternatives, and on your way to check out is a buffet bar filled with toppings. Fresh fruit and nuts, syrups, sprinkles, you name it. If it belongs on or in desserts, it's there. So grab a bowl and make some kind of masterpiece. (Just remember you're being charged by weight here!)

Your badges are colored deep pink and display "Cain" and "Gundam" in white letters.

[hamham]

[Frozen yogurt wasn't something he'd ever really had before, so going on a blind date to a place that served nothing but just honestly seemed like a bad idea. He's not even sure how this happened, who signed him up, or anything like that, but here he is anyway. When you're told that you're being expected, that sort of makes you feel bad if you don't at least show up.

Sorry to his date, he's not exactly dressed for the occasion. His normal clothes should be just fine for something like this right? Yeah. Gaudy pink badge in place, he's waiting outside the shop about five minutes early.]

Weiss/Trunks | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

There isn't a lot of seating in this small restaurant, but luckily you've got a reservation. The decor is somewhat stereotypical of an Italian restaurant, olive branches over here and slightly avant-garde or surreal paintings of tomatoes over there, but it's nice none the less. There are some small two-person tables inside the restaurant, but you're free to request one of the tables outside too if you prefer that kind of dining experience. Their menu is small but the food supposedly makes up for it. There's also a tiny wine section on the back if you're old enough to drink.

Your badges are colored deep sky blue and display "Weiss" and "Trunks" in black letters.

[multiglyphs]

[ weiss, as usual, arrives early. incredibly early, actually, which — while prompt — leads to that awful moment of sitting at your table alone, watching as others around you arrive in pairs and cozy up.

it's a nice venue, at least. the low, cozy lighting helps accentuate the feel of privacy in the area, though in her white dress (along with the rest of her pale features), she stands out like a sore thumb.

she tries not to worry, to glance up at every person that walks into the building. but she does it anyway, because what was she thinking there's no way she can do this. ]

Integra/Richter | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

Don't mind the shady company in this bar. What's important is the drink selection, the nightlife atmosphere and having a good time with your date, right? Right...

Your badges are colored orange red and display "Integra" and "Wilber" in black letters.

[keep_hope_alive]

I am going to get that girl back for this nonsense.

[He knew that the name he gave that day would bite him in the ass one day, but he never expected this.]

I guess that's why it's called a "prank".

[He sighs deeply but, what can he do. He certainly doesn't want to be here, but he also doesn't want to stand up whoever he got paired with. Whatever the case, at least he's a good story to tell when his date arrives.

He waits at the bar, nursing a glass of schnapps on the rocks as he searches for his date.]

Mizael/Patchouli | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

A futuristic styled cafe, the decor here is probably more fitting of CERES than most places. Sleek lines, blue lighting and white everything, this place is staffed by people who really try to work the robot thing, including talking in a super monotone voice. It's meant to be playful but it might be a little unnerving at times. Their menu has a huge selection of beverages from coffee to hot beverages to smoothies...you name it, it's probably on there. They've also got some pretty strange and outlandish sounding flavors...

Your badges are colored rebecca purple and display "Mizael" and "Patchouli" in white letters.

[tachyonme]

[To say that this was about the last thing Mizael had wanted to do today would have been a understatement. He didn't even know how he'd gotten involved in the first place. He certainly hadn't signed himself up...although he can certainly think of a couple people who might have, and he's going to give them a piece of his mind once he figures out which it was.

Still, he didn't have a door to slam in the young girl's face, and he doesn't want to come across as the sort of person who would never show up and leave someone waiting.

So at the appointed time, Mizael can be found waiting inside the doors of the appointed place (which is nice, if a little too much like Astral for his taste), and he even dressed up somewhat (if he has to do this, he is going to put a little effort into it). He is not, however, actually wearing his badge; nope, he's just holding onto it, where it can be seen but isn't actually attached to him.]

Rock Lee/Maya | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

There isn't a lot of seating in this small restaurant, but luckily you've got a reservation. The decor is somewhat stereotypical of an Italian restaurant, olive branches over here and slightly avant-garde or surreal paintings of tomatoes over there, but it's nice none the less. There are some small two-person tables inside the restaurant, but you're free to request one of the tables outside too if you prefer that kind of dining experience. Their menu is small but the food supposedly makes up for it. There's also a tiny wine section on the back if you're old enough to drink.

Your badges are colored forest green and display "Rock Lee" and "Maya" in white letters. They are covered in green glitter.

[niceguypose]

[A somewhat spiffed-up young man soon arrives in the establishment. Rock Lee has gotten a bit of a makeover. For once, his jumpsuit is at home. He is wearing a getup that somewhat resembles... the one on the right, maybe?. He's wearing a trendy-looking green button-down shirt with a white undershirt (he was convinced to leave the top few buttons unbuttoned), tucked into a pair of black slacks. He's also wearing sleek, street-chic vest and a red scarf. His hair has also been neatened up, shined and trimmed a little, but it is still very much a bowlcut.

This is it... This is the most trying moment of his youth... the blind date. He has already made all of the preparations that he could... He may have even hidden some surprises around the restuarant itself, shortly after learning that it would be the location.

Rock Lee may be unsure on how he feels about obtaining a new romance with Sakura gone, but he is determined to give this blind date challenge his all. He arrives very early to make sure everything is alright. And luckily, someone probably put the idea in his head that he shouldn't do anything too sweat-inducing like pre-date push-ups and sit-ups. Instead, he tries to stand as still as possible, practically vibrating with anticipation, and he tries to pass by the time by examining the fascinating tomato-based art. There is one mishap though, as he spends a good chunk of that time trying to figure out where he misplaced his badge. He will have probably found it and stuck it on his shirt by the appointed time that the blind date starts, however.]

Kousetsu/Souji | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

Niteo is a happening night club found in the Entertainment district. With loud music from the in-house DJ constantly playing and what might be slightly over-priced drinks, this is a great place to hang out for the older crowd. Why not try out a little dancing?

Your badges are colored medium sea green and display "Kousetsu" and "Souji" in white letters.

[spes_phthisica]

[Souji still isn't very sure why he has been signed up for a thing like this, and honestly he's feeling a bit awkward and nervous about the whole thing. He certainly doesn't want to disappoint anyone, after all! If someone has signed themselves up in good faith, truly wanting someone to do romantic stuff with, then it would be pretty sad for them to end up with someone who isn't interested in that kind of thing.

Still, he has dressed himself up in clothes previously okayed by Kashuu as not completely embarrassing, put his hair up in a ponytail, and is now waiting patiently by the entrance to the club. He's bouncing a bit nervously onto the balls of his feet, fiddling a idly a bit with the badge as he waits. Occasionally he glances curiously through the door, not sure why the place has to be so very loud, and what exactly they're meant to do in there at all. At least the music is kind of catchy?]

Levi/Wolfwood | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

The theater you're going to isn't the biggest and the best, but it's affordable and has a great selection of movies to choose from! Their snacks are delicious, their chairs are comfortable and it's not super packed so you're sure to get a good seat. The question is do you really want to watch whatever they're showing. Predictably it includes some romance options for the upcoming holiday, but maybe you just want to sit in the back and spend some more quality time getting to know one another instead!

Your badges are colored medium slate blue and display "Levi" and "Nicholas" in black letters.

[terroristpriest]

[Valentine's Day had picked up business around Niteo, patrons who weren't celebrating coming to dance away their problems. Frankly, Wolfwood didn't really get it but what kept him busy made his life easier, and if he was any closer to getting that motorcycle he was saving up for, he could deal with the headache that was red and pink hearts, flowers and their pollen, and the cheesy love songs. At least, as long as it didn't involve him.

It was much to his chagrin that he awoke to a knock on his door, and a chipper 12 year old handing him some kind of gift basket explaining his situation. Protesting had done nothing, and it hadn't clicked that this wasn't by mistake until he'd received an encouraging text from some damned Top Knot.

Like he'd just needed a push to get involved in this shitty messy. (Like he'd ever want to in the first place.)

It was that mess that had found him inside the theater by the snack stand, his badge pinned halfhearted and crooked to the lapel of his jacket as he surveyed the patrons with an ever increasing frown. Clearly she'd be around to witness - she was a nosy little brat, she wouldn't be able to resist - and Wolfwood was determined to catch her first. Whether she'd leave the theater with any hair was another matter entirely.]

Trucy/Leon | 02/06 | Evening

[ineptus]

The Mignon steakhouse is very popular and usually pretty full, but luckily you have a reservation! The seating is primarily booth seats, though there are stools lining a bar at the back wall of the restaurant. The atmosphere is warm with wood tables, padded wood seats, a sort of "log cabin" interior and dim lighting, and the windows are tinted to help keep this feeling. The menu is impressive (your waitress suggests starting with their famous bread sticks) and offers a good selection of alcoholic beverages for those old enough to drink.

Your badges are colored silver and display "Trucy" and "Leon" in black letters.

[babermetrics]

[Leon's a couple minutes late, but only a couple; he's not going to keep a date waiting. Rude! But time had gotten away from him a little while he was getting ready, and here we are, sliiightly after the scheduled time.

He's never been here, of course. Moreover, he's never been anywhere like here. This is so Western . . . But he feels at ease at once, to his relief. The atmosphere's good and comfortable in a sort of alien way. (A literally alien way, but that's beside the point.) And the nice thing about having a reservation is that he doesn't have to feel awkward about trying to figure out where to sit or shouting for a "Trucy" in this crowd; the hostess just asks for his name and then leads him back into the forest of booths.

That twelve-year-old really deserved a gift basket or something for setting all this up.

Leon follows the waitress through the aisles, taking in all of the decor and sneaking peeks at people's food as they pass the (many) occupied tables. That's so much food! Man, this's gonna cost me . . . looks good, though. Who eats that much beef at once? Probably not girls, right? They're idle thoughts as he keeps his eye out for booths with lone girls sitting at them, assuming she'd gotten here first.

Hope she's cute . . .

He's not dressed up fancy or anything; it's just not him, and while he wants to impress his date, he's pretty sure he'd end up looking kinda stupid if he tried doing it by dressing up totally differently. But he is put together more carefully and less casually than usual. Hopefully that'll be enough for the mysterious Trucy.]
