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~

[ Having designed an indoor amusement park has its occasional perks.
In any case, she said a nice thing! There is no way even Shikyoin Hibiki could make that awful! ]
Of course, anytime you wish to yield control, I'm happy to assume it, as well.
[ HIBIKI ]

no subject
[ Arm accepted, however. And she....has been known to surrender to beautiful Princesses.
Case in point, now, as she starts to think. Summon the might of your full movie expertise, Shikyoin Hibiki! What is a genre-appropriate Classic Pastime for a Fun Amusement Park Experience?
The sun isn't low enough in the sky for the Ferris wheel, is it...? The lighting will be wrong. ]
no subject
[Celestia says this with her impeccable air of Royal Wisdom, but her eyes are trailing over Hibiki's head, watching the progression of a funnel cake stand as they start to walk past it.]
no subject
She turns unexpectedly, heading for the stand with no prior warning. ] All of the above is acceptable.
[ ....this stand is emitting a strangely acceptable scent. ]
no subject
Then that is what everypony does. After all, what can't you turn into something advantageous to you if you try?
no subject
[ And there's the rub. Not "everypony" possesses that elite skill.
There is no line for funnel cake. Hibiki steps on up. ] Prepare us one deluxe.
[ That's the best one, right? ]
no subject
[As the vendor moves to start squirting lines of dough into the fryer, Celestia nods to Hibiki.] Exactly. But doesn't that mean you can do absolutely whatever, then?
no subject
....
.......WELL PLAYED.
Hibiki smirks. ] You've some skill at rhetoric.
[ Note the lack of a confirmation or a denial. This does not mean she does not have one.
But it must be chiseled into full brilliance before its radiance is unleashed upon the puniverse. That is absolutely what this pause means.
That, and a chance to appreciate competence. ]

no subject
[ If it's possible to hear a homophone pun, well, there you go. She's attempting to speak pony. FOR YOU.
....what exactly is involved in one of these "deluxe funnel cakes", though? ]
no subject
Now that isn't true, considering how many I have of boring bureaucratic work!
no subject
No, from your lips, such concerns become poetry.
[ things not thought, despite being so good about the pun:
do ponies have lips ]
no subject
[That really isn't a bizarre and inexplicable segue, no matter how much it seems like it must be!]
no subject
"Uh, mister...?" Losing the ability to see Hibiki, the vendor looks around. "Tch. Did they split?" ]
no subject
no subject
This guy has been having a long day, what with all these Valentine's dates. Hibiki is slightly perturbed and still residually confused, but she knows a segue when one is presented to her.
So she gestures to the....Hm. Well. All right, it. Is purportedly edible. So. ]
...Please, indulge.
no subject
[What could be more appropriate for a date than to share such a sweet treat? Celestia can't quite properly beseech with her eyes when she stands taller than Hibiki, but nonetheless her entreaty is shining and earnest.]
no subject
She thinks back to the roller coaster ride. She puts a hand in front of her face to strike a thinking pose, she is thinking so deeply. ]
Well, I suppose this is the premises' most top class treat....
[ She wouldn't have ordered it otherwise.
But how does one consume it? Utensils have not been provided! ]
no subject
no subject
Then....bon appetit.
[ Revolution, she reminds herself as the fork at least snags some treat slathered in chocolate, requires sacrifice....
The lady may sample the spread first, however. ]
no subject
[Flavors are less powerful in this human shape, but the food is no less enjoyable for that!]
no subject
With this...enthusiastic recommendation...however, Hibiki takes a bite herself. And almost drops her fork.
This....warmth.....enveloped in the sweetness of the chocolate......this interplay of textures.....!!
She deliberately takes her time chewing and swallowing, the better to savor, as is elegant. But her next forkful is larger. ]
no subject
[Celestia likely knows the answer, being no fool... and being with no subtle partner at the moment. So she asks to make a little bit of a point, rather than out of curiosity.]
[Good luck telling that.]
