34 - Love is in the Air
Who: Everyone!
What: An enterprising pair of shinki is trying to spread love throughout the Far Shore with exciting blind dates.
When: February 14
Where: Hot romantic spots throughout Tokyo
Summary: Blind dates on Valentine's Day? Sounds like fun (or possibly a disaster, but everyone needs some good disaster stories.) That's not all that's going on, though. Ayakashi are looking to chow down on the negative emotions that a romantic holiday can generate, and those who aren't busy with their own dates might be sucked into helping out followers who need help to make the day go well.

In Summary:
What: An enterprising pair of shinki is trying to spread love throughout the Far Shore with exciting blind dates.
When: February 14
Where: Hot romantic spots throughout Tokyo
Summary: Blind dates on Valentine's Day? Sounds like fun (or possibly a disaster, but everyone needs some good disaster stories.) That's not all that's going on, though. Ayakashi are looking to chow down on the negative emotions that a romantic holiday can generate, and those who aren't busy with their own dates might be sucked into helping out followers who need help to make the day go well.
The Dates
- Those who have signed up -- or whose friends and colleagues have signed them up -- for dates will get cards with specified times and meeting places inside for the big event. The cards don't list their dates' names, but instead have a matching symbol to allow everyone to find their proper partner. If anyone tries to stand up their date, they can expect a small and angry owl to harass them until they give in.
- Date One: The Romantic Brunch.
Couples will find themselves with reservations (and pre-paid coupons for the prix fixe menu) at a swanky French restaurant with a wide balcony overlooking the lake in a central Tokyo park. They can dine on dainty pastries, sweet milk coffees, bowls of grapes and hothouse strawberries, and a selection of fancy chocolates and petit-fours-- plus, some of the trees in the park are blooming in holiday-appropriate red and white! - Date Two: The Aquarium.
Couples scheduled for this date have tickets to a rooftop aquarium in Ikebukuro: brightly colored fish, animals including penguins, seals and pelicans, a small petting zoo and plenty of shadowy, secluded nooks to cuddle in make for a fun lunchtime date. The tickets even include admission to the one o'clock penguin and seal show! - Date Three: The Amusement Park.
This date sends couples to spend the evening enjoying themselves at a seaside amusement park. Ride the roller coasters! Take selfies with the costumed attendants! Share an overpriced ice cream cone while you watch the fireworks after sunset, then wind up the night with a ride on the colorfully lit Ferris wheel with a romantic view of the Tokyo skyline.
Ayakashi Menace
- There's more than just romantic couples out to enjoy themselves today. Romantic holidays can be tough for those whose love lives aren't so rosy, and as always, those negative feelings draw in ayakashi who are ready to ruin everybody's day.
All across the city, besides the usual ayakashi, characters might encounter the following:
Flocks of dove ayakashi whose mournful call induces self-doubt, suspicion and paranoia in everyone who hears it. Are your friends really your friends? Is your lover betraying you? Shouldn't you hurry up and stab them in the back before they can do it to you? These ayakashi are small and agile, difficult to catch but easy to destroy once they're caught... if you can overcome the urge to turn on your allies first.
Long-fingered shadow ayakashi, large and powerful, and capable of sneaking around by blending into genuine shadows. These ayakashi draw those who are alone into their clutches, filling them with resentment and despair. Anyone battling them needs to watch out for the humans they might already have influenced, who may become unpredictable and violent as the ayakashi influencing them grows more desperate.
Cute teddy bear ayakashi, that influence anyone they cling to into greedy obsession: they need attention, affection and gifts, and they can never have enough. When attacked, the teddy bears turn out to fight a little more like a grizzly bear than a stuffed toy, so gods and shinki beware!
Praying for Love
- Those who aren't busy with their own dates might find themselves busy taking care of other people's instead. On a day like this one, everyone's praying that things turn out perfectly! Prayers gods might hear include:
"He's just got to ask me out! I made him the biggest box of chocolates... please, let senpai notice me!"
"Does she really like me? Please, give me a sign."
"I got concert tickets for our date, but it's supposed to rain. Please let me find a way to make this work out anyway!"
"The restaurant I wanted to take him to isn't taking any more reservations for tonight. What can I do? I can't cook!"
Wild Card -- players are free to make up their own romance-adjacent prayers for their characters to fulfill.
In Summary:
- Enjoy your dates
- Fight some ayakashi
- Make sure to answer prayers for a good Valentine's Day
- Have fun~

I hope we have proven useful to you on this task.

Somewhat fittingly, the girl is only looking at Ovelia when she says that. "I can't believe people really came to my house because I prayed! I'll leave extra offerings at all temples I visit!" ]
Here, as well.
[ Hibiki presents the girl with two tickets to the current smash-hit romantic film, now playing in theaters. The theater in question is in the area. ] Your smile is my only reward.
[ "Oh...thank you!"
Hibiki smirks. She wasn't lying. That movie theater...is her shrine. ]
no subject
[ Or, to put it more accurately, Ovelia's admiration of Agrias is what lead her to being willing to offer her aid to people that had intimidated her previously. If Agrias could face such things with a brave face, so should she. ]
no subject
Hibiki files that goddess's name away for further investigation. ] Then, we'll take our leave. May your love be as blessed as this day has been.
[ "Yes! I...I'll do my best!"
Hibiki, to her credit, refrains from offering an opinion on the girl's best. ]
no subject
She shall be fine, I am sure...
no subject
That will depend on her, from here.
[ Will Ovelia's point about the girl's feelings carry the day? Or will her beloved be unmoved by the idea that "it's the thought that counts"....?
Hibiki will have to spy on it later. ]

[ Hibiki pulls a small, gift-wrapped box of chocolate out from her jacket and offers it to Ovelia. ] Here. My gratitude.
no subject
I... I could not possibly take such a thing. I was not of much help
no subject
[ And Hibiki may also like to give presents. That is neither here nor there.
She tries to sound gently encouraging. ] Take it.
no subject
I... Milord is too kind, to think of me as useful to you, after being so rude in our first meeting. Thank you...
[ Her hands were trembling. Given she lacked Hibiki's flair for the dramatic, it was hard for her to hide the sincerity in how overwhelmed she felt. ]
no subject
[ ...And for not knowing how to handle people tearing up, so Hibiki decides to simply place the box gently in Ovelia's hands: the flawless Prince. ]
Enjoy.
no subject
I shall try.
Thank you, again...
no subject
[ This is Hibiki being respectful. Or perhaps passive-aggressive. Or perhaps both. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She says, by means of explanation, but that's rather obvious just looking at the pieces of chocolate nestled in here. In addition to a heart, there's a rose, a fleur-de-lis, a crown....
...this last piece of chocolate is shaped like Hibiki's head, but it is the thought that counts, and she did have these custom-made. ]
no subject
These are very much... to your tastes, milord. [ Ovelia hummed, closing the box again. She'd enjoy these later, perhaps while reading good book with a cup of warm tea... ]
Thank you again, for having faith in my ability to be of value to your efforts.
no subject
[ Here, let's leave this building...
She's feeling secure enough in Ovelia's reaction to try making a further offer. ] May I escort you anywhere?
no subject
no subject
[ Take her hand again, and they can teleport! ]

Joyeuse Saint Valentin, mademoiselle.
no subject
If at any time you are so inclined, I invite you here to partake in tea and a good book. My Goddess keeps a truly extensive library within the temple's basement.
no subject
[ No one would ever provide Shikyoin Hibiki anything but the Best, correct? How charming! ]
