Summary: VALENTINE'S~
The Log:

((The message probably came around noon: hey! the blind dates will be tonight at seven. make sure you dress warm, it was pretty chilly last year. thanks for signing up! Now, for some of you might have come as a surprise: "I was signed up for what?" though others already know it was coming for them. Either way, you chose to see exactly what it was you were signed up for. Perhaps a secret lover wanted to meet up with you and were too shy to ask? Wherever you come from, the roof of Latimir is your destination.

The weather was only so-so. Winds blow over the cold roof, table cloths of low quality shutter at their touch. It seems Greece has a campfires set up in three place carefully protected by metal bases to prevent fire damage, and around each tables are set up. At the very center, Greece is sitting, and when he sees someone approach, smiles, bringing him or her to the designated spot. He'll bring the small dinner when your date has arrived! He returns to his spot, clearly attending a soup at the center of the event.

The table seems to be set with only a paper flower set in a small dish. Your number, in black, fading marker stands upright before you, and your partner's number sits across from you. Around you may be the other guests, whom you may approach and talk with if you see fit.

If you look at the other side of the card, you may find a few hints and tips to get conversation going. "Cats" "I can kick your ass" "Scones" "Flowers" and the like are scribbled onto every card.

It's a bit nerve wrecking to arrive before your date, but don't be too worried. Eventually, he or she will show up, and if you were lucky, your date and you won't already hate eachother. It's funny how things work.



The number matches are as follows:
(13 - 15) (4 - 11) (8 - 9) (7 - 14) (1 - 10) (6 - 16) (5 - 12) (2 - 3) (17 - 18)

Comment here with your number in the subject line. Make sure you look to see if your match hasn't commented already. When commenting TO your blind date at first, add your number too!!! If you want to mingle with other guests, that's TOOOOTALLY allowed! And finally, if you need to "godmod" Greece a little as far as food things go, that's fine!

And finally, if you need conversation prompts, forgot/lost your number, or have any other questions, my aim is Maypie Lord, or you can PM the account!))

Tch... That isn't what I meant.

[bauhinia]

So what did you mean?

[eyeforaneye]

... It's not something I really want to talk about anymore.

[bauhinia]

Sure thing. Let's talk about something else, yeah?

[eyeforaneye]

Such as?

[bauhinia]

How's your studying going?

[eyeforaneye]

I'm able to get a lot of practice, but I still make mistakes. [ Because that's so unforgivable. ]

[bauhinia]

I'm pretty sure that's normal. I'm not gonna fail you for making a few mistakes.

[eyeforaneye]

It's not something to take lightly. One mistake can cost a lot.

[bauhinia]

You're right, but I trust you to keep trying anyway.

[eyeforaneye]

That much you don't need to worry about. I won't disappoint you.

[bauhinia]

See? It's all good. Just let me know when you need new stuff or you wanna practice.

[eyeforaneye]

I always want new material. I have too much free time as it is.

[bauhinia]

Then I'll keep looking for stuff, yeah? And we should talk in English as much as we can.

[eyeforaneye]

[ He pauses, feeling a little chided, and switches to English when he speaks up again. ]

You're right. [ Look at that fancy contraction. Look at it. ]

[bauhinia]

You're doing well. [ Transitioning easily to English. ]

You learn things a lot faster than I would expect.

[eyeforaneye]

"Expect"? [ Maybe he should start carrying a pencil and a pad of paper with him...

No, probably not. He remembers when he messes up, after all. ]

[bauhinia]

[ Japanese: ] Expect. What I think you can do.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Right back to English; he's determined! ]

I see. You did not think I could do well?

[bauhinia]

I didn't know how well you would do. Now I know better.

[eyeforaneye]

I do not practice enough. Some things are hard to understand, now.

[bauhinia]

How much do you practice every day?

[eyeforaneye]

I say things all day, in my head. If I think of them...

I write at night.

[bauhinia]

That's a lot of practice.

[eyeforaneye]

It is not good enough. I do not understand enough.
