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~

[ Closer to their level of nobility.. her!! That's pretty much the most amazing compliment you can give to someone who's often called dumb or a clutz or pretty much everything that's the complete opposite of royalty. Minako suddenly looks super happy. (Even though she's just blowing what he said way out of proportion in her mind.) ]
In that case, I can totally help you get more comfortable, if you want! I'm an expert at these sort of things, and you're so nice that you totally deserve the help!
no subject
I... Uh.... guess... Are you offering to mediate..or something of that kind?
no subject
She smiles brightly at the question though. ]
Yes, exactly! I'm not sure if you know, but you're looking at a social expert here! The real deal! [ A dubious claim, but she says it so confidently.. ] If you need some help working it out, I'm sure I can help! It'd suck not being able to get along in a normal way with your own god, right?
no subject
Social expert, huh? That's sure a title. He's unfamiliar with it, and he's not entirely sure she's not made it up, but he'll roll with it...he supposes. ]
That is...true... It is sort of awkward being around each other as things are..
no subject
no subject
How though? I can't really figure out how it's meant to be comfortable.
[ And with Obi avoiding Celestia most of the time, electing to sleep outdoors, exposure to each other isn't really happening. ]
no subject
[ It makes even Minako - super reluctantly - share her problems with her own goddess sometimes, despite her tendency to want to bottle everything up forever. ]
no subject
[ That is a good question. Obi generally just avoids Mistress when he can because he feels constantly awkward around her. ]
Don't talk all that much in general.
no subject
So you spoke when you first showed up here, and then after that.. almost not at all anymore?
no subject
We, noo, uh, we do some talking. We do prayers and stuff on and off so it's not like we don't have any contact at all....
no subject
[ Or so she assumes, since his first instinct is to start talking about how they do prayers. ]
That sounds kind of sad.. I mean, I'm sure everyone needs someone who is willing to talk with them about their problems when they have any.
no subject
[ And this was one that he didn't choose. He's technically sort of fine with that, but he's still awkward with Mistress. ]
no subject
No, Minako. Don't let your mind slip into the gutter now! You're busy talking about something serious..!! ]
Do you just see yourself as a servant then?
no subject
Pretty much, yeah.
[ But he's also basically part cat and does what he wants. ]
no subject
[ Sorry if you treasure your personal space, Obi, since Minako is stepping closer now and getting all up in it. Maybe she thinks that's the only way to really get the message across.. ]
You should treasure yourself more than that! You're important! [ Aspirational life coach Minako Aino. ]
no subject
We are, though. We're servants and tools and stuff.
[ Also, he's not as bad as Mister Jakob. Has she met the guy? He is way worse than Obi. ]
no subject
Which is why she's focusing all her life coach energy on Obi here right now. ]
No, no..! We're-- well, if you want to use a word for it, call it partners! We're working together with our gods, and any good god would think we're important as well!
no subject
But please don't do that, it's just so... A Lot. ]
Really.
[ Excuse his doubt. (It's not like Celestia doesn't respect his autonomy but he's still like this.) ]
no subject
I thought this whole deal was supposed to work like that. Become friends with your god, get closer, have fun together.. Those kind of things! As long as you don't see yourself as a servant or a tool, you'll get there in no time!
no subject
Lucky you then, Miss.
I'm not so sure that's the intention of all this.
no subject
Even if they don't think that's how it works, a lot of us new people seem to agree that it's better to go about it this way. Would you really rather just be some tool?
no subject
[ He doesn't want to be a tool, not particularly. But he also doesn't really care, he's not too bothered about being called a tool. But a royal acting weird and the opposite is just, weird. ]
