[ On the morning of the 13th, one day before Valentine's Day, a sudden text message appears from a Souji Seta. Perhaps you've talked to him before. Perhaps you haven't. Perhaps you're wondering why the hell you are receiving a text at six in the morning but look, let's not sweat the small details. Pay attention to the larger ones, like the contents of this very important message: ]

Hello.

Through the tides of fate, you have been chosen to participate in this year's Valentine's Day event: Blind Dating. It is believed that no one should be alone for such an important day and as such, you have been paired up with another lonely soul.

Your match is with Karkat Vantas. Please contact them to plan out your date for tomorrow.

However, if you and your partner do not know what to do, there will be a booth in Recollé Square for the sole purpose of assisting unsure or confused participants of the event. There will be date suggestions, booklets of pick-up lines, and refreshments.

Happy Valentine's Day.

- Cupid

R U KIDDING ME
I KNOW THAT GUY

[tarotcards]

Do you now?

I guess it wouldn't be as much of a blind date anymore and just a regular date now.

[youraffection]

THATS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR

[tarotcards]

Yes you did.

You signed up for a date on Valentine's, right?

[youraffection]

yeah i did
a DATE

[tarotcards]

Right.

And your date is with Karkat Vantas.

[youraffection]

i cant go on a date with him!

[tarotcards]

Well, you can't exactly choose your date, Yosuke. That defeats the purpose of a blind date.

[youraffection]

itd just be weird! i wanted 2 have like a legit and GOOD valentines day

[tarotcards]

Don't be like that. Karkat looks like a fine gentleman for Valentine's Day.

[youraffection]

thats not the point!

[tarotcards]

Then what is?

[youraffection]

the point is i was hoping for something kind of iconic and cool u know??
like valentines days different here
and ive never had one that didnt end in obligation cards and weird heartshaped chalk
whats it take for a guy to get a legit letter in his locker
all perfumey and stuff
and like flowers and sharing ice cream or something

[tarotcards]

I see.

[ okay, souji's actually... feeling bad now. he was kind of just joking in a teasing and fun manner before this point (with everyone else being all flustered and whatnot), but now that he knows that he's disappointed someone, someone who might be his friend (are they? he's not sure)... it definitely tugs at him. ]

I'm sorry, Yosuke. I really am.

[ even if it's not really his fault, since this whole thing was randomized... though he feels like it is since he should have been stricer on the preferences ]

Don't lose hope, though. I'm sure you'll get something like that in your locker or to have a date like that soon enough.

[youraffection]

yea not likely

[ SIIIIIIIIIGH. ]

its ok
i know u guys are tryin 2 do a good thing for people
someones gotta be in the bottom ring

but hey
did you sign urself up?

[tarotcards]

Your luck will change. I'm sure.

And I did sign up, though I wasn't originally planning to. We ran into a bit of a snag and had an odd number of sign ups, so someone had to volunteer.

Guess I'll be really busy tomorrow.

[youraffection]

just plz tell me youre actually wearing clothes

[tarotcards]

Of course. I'm not a caveman, Yosuke.

I'll be wearing my Cupid's outfit.

[youraffection]

oh god
souji
no
plz
do us a favor

[tarotcards]

But they're acceptable clothes for Valentine's Day.

[youraffection]

they are acceptable close NEVER
dude just trust me on this 1
im here 2 save you guys from urselves

[tarotcards]

I'm not sure, Yosuke. Without the Cupid's outfit, I just don't know what to wear to my date.

[youraffection]

ok let me ask u this
do you want ur date to have a good time
do u want ur date to ever talk 2 u again

[tarotcards]

Yes
Yes

I'm not a monster
