Valentine's day
Summer 14th, Year 5 Now... How did a 24 year old man, married for three years like himself had gotten dragged into being in a blind date event? This really didn't make any sense to him... Before he had knew it, he was getting canned by Gladice, telling him he just had to be a filler at the Blind Date because they were missing a Straight Male. When he had told her to go see Keith instead, she had made that huge story about Keith still being in a shaky relationship and other thigns he had just zoned out off. Point was, he was now sitting at a table looking out for a Bouquet of Forsythia, waiting for a girl that would surely be disapointed to be paired up with a married man... Oh well. At least he could always entertain her. He wasn't such bad company, afterall.
No, the bad company, was obviously Neil, who was sitting a couple of tables away. He had already pens and paper taken out and placed in front of him on the table, right next to his picture of Bouquet of Hollyhock so he would know what to look out for. Whoever was the girl stocked with him, he was ready to interrogate her until she died of exhaustion! He wasn't the best reporter on the island for nothign, after all! He would know all their secrets! All their lies! Everything they were hiding from the world! then, of course, share all his information with Romane. It was too bad that the cop couldn't come this year. To make up for it, he would just have to interrogate whoever he was paired with twice a much as he would usually do.
Oh, but Neil wasn't the worst! Oh no! Far from there. There was an horror ever more horrifying than Neil! Who could it be? Well, it was Scholteheim Reinbach the Third, of course! He had been into a depression even since his fiance, Shinju, had went missing! He had waited for her at the church for over 45 hours, but she had never come! After investigation, he had realze that she had disappeared! Obviously, someone had been jealous of him and kidnapped his dulcinée. But who? Who could have done something as horrifying as that? He had no idea... What he knew, however, was what servants were supposed to guard her. To punish them, he had ordered their children to be whipped! Ah! Gaston would see how right Reibach was when he had said that the servants should reproduce together in order to use their children as leverage, and he was right! Those servant would never disobey him again.
So now, he was doing everything he could to find where his precious Shinju was. First off, he had looked under every bed of the mansion. She wasn't there. Then, in every closet! Still couldn't find her. Now, he was leaving it up to fate and the God to guide him toward her. Which was why he was at the Valentine's day Blind date looking for a Bouquet of Peppermint. Surely the gods would pair him with someone who could find where his fiance had been brought.
Another man, albeit way less horrible than the previous two, who was also looking for a bouquet of flower, this time, some Oleanders, was Kevin. Of course, he was already in a relationship...or two... or three, but who was he to be a single man, man? He loved sharing the love! And Benedikt didn't care if he was seeing other mans and he didn't care enough about Hansel to even think about what the German was thinking. That, and he was sure he was sleeping with someone else lately, anyway. So there he was, wearing his usual sun glasses, stripped button up s**t and black pants. He also had his cane with him today, ready to play the blind card to score himself a pity ******** if the man he was paired with was good looking enough. So yes, Kevin wasn't there for a relationship, but just for fun. Pure, raw, animistic fun.
One last man looking for a bouquet of flower wasn't a man at all! It was the Great Sierra Mikain, AKA Popcorn! Of course the little girl had placed her as male looking for male! How else would she be able to score herself a hot stud who would be ready to have lot of kinky yaoi naughty sex with other males in front of her as she watched and film? Oh, she just hopped that whoever had the bouquet of Galax was a hot little flaming twink! Oh! Maybe a big manly bear? A Fabulous bishunen? Ohhhh~~~ This was so exiting! She wondered how big their p***s was... she loved to drew them and the bigger the better! God, she loved that event.
And that was it for this narator's characters searching for flowers... but! Ah, there is a but. There were also people HOLDING Flowers! By a not-so-surprising twist of fate (AKA Random Generator), None of the people already present at the festival where holding the flowers that someone was looking for. This was why Freja was sitting all alone at a table with a bouquet of white violet in her hand. She didn't want to come again this year, especially since the last time she had went on a blind date all hell broke loose, but Lotte had forced her to go out in order to meet a man who she would date and have a child the real way with... Not wanting a second child, the woman had checked the Woman/Woman division. No way she was going through all that child making process again!
Another woman, who, unlike Freja didn't have to fear for children happening due to her age and a certain operation she had done in the past was Judith... OMG WHAT THE HELL IS JUDITH DOING THERE! QUICK RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN! RUN! EXPECIALLY WHOEVER IS LOOKING FOR WHITE ZINNA! RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!!!! D8

Dawson walked about looking from face to face. He knew none of these people. He was a shadow in a room full of candles, flickering from wall to wall. With reproach he sat at a small table away from the majority of other guests. Dawson wasn't much for parties, let alone a party with this many people and the intent of finding relationships. However as he looked around, the atmosphere seemed blurred. These people were not in love but in lust. Many were drunk it seemed at stumbled over one another. They hugged, they kissed, and they groped one another in ways that made Dawson blush. However, these people only seemed to be half of the party. The other half was laughing with true joy, and love. Those were his people. Dawson was here for a relationship, not relations. Sex was not on his agenda for tonight.
With a sigh Dawson lay the small bouquet of Galax on the table and leaned back in the wooden chair. Its hinges squeaking only slightly. Must be old.. He thought bored, scared, nervous, he didn't know what he was anymore. He covered his face with his right hand and let out a yawn. Insomnia plus social gatherings made him amazingly tired. He entertained himself by picking up the bouquet and plucking away at the small bound plant. He had a strange feeling about all this. He felt something in the pit of his stomach. Something wasn't right, he shouldn't have come. He knew tonight he'd be just as sleepless as ever, and that his nerves would be shot.

 Popcorn was getting bored. Oh so very bored. Bored, bored, bored. No mater where she looked at, she just couldn't find anyone in her liking! There wasn't any girl with ginormous breast that she could (Freja had her back turned to her) nor any homosexual that she could tell! Well, maybe that weirdo with the strange haircut and the fop costume. There was a limit as to how long queer meant 'strange' before it meant that the man was sleeping with people of the same sex. Now, normally, she would have been all over Reinbach like a flea with honey... on in this case, a pile of manure, but... she just didn't felt it. Her carny instinct told her to stay away from him, so she did.
Fortunately for her, the moment she turned away so to not stare at Reinbach anymore, she cought a gimps of greenish plats that looked close enough to lily pads to be Galax. Yes! That mus ha've been her date... But... was he gay? Oh, darling~ Who was she kidding! Darling those hair! Darling those arms! Lips gloss is one thing, but darling those nails! He was a gay as could be! Yes, yes, YES! Without wasting a moment more, she ran toward him, jumped on the table and glomped him in a hug! "Hiiiii! You have the ugly flowers! I'm looking for the ugly flowers! We are so paired together!" She let the man go, knowing that if she kept that for any longer, she would have smothered him. She sat on the table, right in front of her date, keeping the largest grin a 14 year old girl could have on her face. "Sooooo...... What's your name? I can keep calling you Uglyflower guy, but that's just mean." She waved her little legs above the table in exitation. Oh yes, siging up for that even had been the best thing she had done in years! Except maybe putting a web cam in Lucia room and taking all those films of her changing~

Dawson had been keeping to himself when suddenly he heard the high pitched squealing of a young girl as she tackled him out of his chair and onto the floor. A bit stunned he stood to his feet and watched the girl climb onto the tables. She talked and talked, but her words didn't quite settle. Once he'd connected the dots he couldn't help but laugh. Dawson actually doubled over in laughter. He corrected his posture and finally got a word in. "I'm so sorry but, YOU are my DATE?" Saying the words aloud made him laugh again. "Oh God.." He tapped the little girl twice on the head before picking his chair back up and sitting down. "I'm Dawson and listen honey, this isn't a game for me, and your just a little girl so...I'm just gonna go.." He said standing back up. "Well this was a waist of my time.." he said more to himself than the girl. "Why don't you just run on home?"

Oh! He was so cute! So cute! He was all flustered to be with her! Could it be that he knew who she was? She had become that popular already? But the circus had just open... Sure, they had been there for almost a year not, but with all the preparations, they had barely made any show... WELL. She must have been just that great! Ah! Phileo would hate her once he learned that people knew who she was on the street and he was still a big nobody! "Yes! I am your Date!" She exclaimed, before jumping up and standing on top of the table. She brought her arms together above her head, half expecting a spot light to illuminate her. "The Great! The Magnificent! The Spectacular!" Ah, of course, as she introduced herself, spotlight or not, she made various acrobatic moved on the table. She was so used to it by now, that it just came automatically with her introductions. "Sierra Mikhain!" She then turned quickly in Dawson's direction, making a buddy christ smile at the man. "But you can call me Popcorn."
Then... She noticed that her sweet homosexual prince charming wasn't there anymore! Where was here? Oh! There he was! Only a couple of feet away, walking in some directions that wasn't toward her... what had he just said? She had been too busy introducing herself to listen... something about home.. Oh! Was he bringing her to his place? Surely to show her all his gay porn! It was a known fact that people of that sexuality always had a huge stash of it! Awesome! From the Table, she ran toward the edge of it and jumped, landing on Dawson's back and holding him tight. Seriously, those last 10 years in the circus had paid off. "Let's go to your home! I just can't wait to see it! Is it pink6 Do you like pink? Or are you that tall and brooding kind of guy?"

Another ordinary day for an ordinary man! Finnian had decided on a whim to join the blind date thing – and why? Because, to be pretty frank, he was bored. There wasn't anything to do as a superhero in this town and he was through waiting for someone to be in need of rescuing! ..What? NO! That didn't mean the man was going to go out and put someone else in danger! That would be just.. just unthinkable! He felt like a villain even pondering it! So, he stopped and cleared his head for a moment, simply walking into the garden in his normal everyman disguise, with his eyes out for a bachelor button! As he surveyed those who had already come, thoughts felt they were safe to enter into his pure mind once again and continue on their previous trail. That is, he was out here for a reason – to find his love interest! Of course, what was a superhero without someone to protect?! He needed a beautiful girl for villains to kidnap! And that was what he was looking for today with fate (or a Chinese lesbian) to set him up!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Tugging behind him the same girl as last year, Benedek Traiylor had decided to come to this festival's event once again. Why? ...Well, blasted, the man couldn't remember. He just knew someone had signed him up, he was shoved outside with Emery on her harness behind him, and he sort of.. wandered around distractedly until one of them (again, don't bother asking; they both probably have no clue) had pointed out a trail of people heading to the garden. In a flash, Benedek had suddenly remembered that he had a note in his pocket from Benedetta with instructions on what he was to do. After chewing on the paper for a moment, he glanced at the paper for a.. very long while until he took the time to read it. Oh, he was looking for an olive branch? He frowned as he noticed that his ability to read meant one horrifying thing – his high was wearing off. He looked back at Emery and said in an unusually snappy tone, “..Just.. look for that one.” He jabbed a finger in the direction of a nearby flower, the very same one listed on the paper for Emery while he dipped into his pocket for a baggy of various candies. His eyes narrowed as he scanned them sluggishly, smacking his lips idly in thought. Which one did he feel like next..?
~ ~ ~ ~
Walking into the garden with the bouquet of oleanders, was none other Jacob Waldroup. Of all people, it may have come a surprise that this member of the Waldroup family had decided to come participate in a blind date event. Nevermind that he was a priest now, it was more the fact that he was here to look for a man. ..No, not for a relationship. Goddess, why would he do that?! He only needed the Goddess in his life! Even if no one said he couldn't get into a relationship – the local religion apparently didn't believe in celibacy – he.. he really.. No. Just, outright, no. He was there to meet a gay man and start his one true life path of correcting his own mistakes by practicing on others! Yes, if he could turn an openly gay man straight, then he would be able to fix himself, right?! So.. so this would help him! Yes, Jacob was going to be saved~!! He was giddier than Kade a 'male' who will never ever be compared to him ever again in any way shape or form, even silently, as he went to stand somewhere everyone could see him with his bouquet.

______________She had decided to show up to the Blind date at a separate time than her older sister Mindy. She was hoping that the crowd would fill in more before she would go. That way she wouldn't be found. Though there were only a small amount of people. Mae wore a nice short lavender colored dress to match the bouquet of nettles she was carrying. She looked down at the odd flowers and smirked. Whoever it was, she hoped they were decent and kind. And didn't disappear out of nowhere. . Screw you, Micah!_____________An olive branch? Mindy starred at the strange item she was given for the blind dating. Last year, her set up wasn't so successful. An immature boy with the mouth of a sailor. She had never spoken to him again. Not that it was intentional. Just how fate went. . They were not meant to be. . even as friends. Mindy walked around the place and wondered when others would show up. She could tell her sister was trying to hide from her, so she figured it would be smart to ignore the girl. While waiting, walked over to a bench and sat down. One leg crossed over the other as she picked off an olive and stuck it in her mouth. Who said she couldn't eat it? Olives are edible. ._____________She wore her hair up for once in a nice perfected bun that had a braid wrapped around it. Just like a true ballerina. There was a single hollyhock flower in her hair to help her blind date find her even faster while at the same time she held the bouquet in her arms. Aniela wore her infamous white dress and slippers, feeling more comfortable in them than an evening gown. Her bright blue eyes shifted to the different faces of the blind date goers. One pair had already found themselves and seemed content. Then there was a male with a cap and long red hair that sat at the table with a picture of her flowers. She thought that her date was supposed to find her, not the opposite. Aniela approached the man with a nervous smile when she saw paper and writing utensils on the table he sat at.
"Hello, I'm Aniela Vanni. I believe I'm your. . date tonight." _____________Arwen showed up in her usual kimono, of course she had washed it before coming to the blind date event. She didn't remember entering the event but apparently someone really wanted her to. The red poppy bouquet really stood out against her dark shaded kimono design. Her dark hair made them stand out as well. The woman searched the crowd for whoever could be her date for the night but then remembered that person was going to find her. She then saw that there were chocolate little shops around and suddenly became hungry. It had been a while since she had chocolate to enjoy. . Perhaps Hans will take her out to go and eat chocolate fondue someday after work.
Oh, Tatum. The fashionista, the diva of the fashion world. Destined to become the queen of it one day. She had showed up in black dress pants with red pumps, a white t-shirt and a black vest. Her hair was in a stylish up-do as usual and her body was decked with a shining silver necklace, bracelet and rings. No sunglasses though, not today. Tatum was a little confused on why she had to look for her date but she assumed that perhaps the guy would be giving her the bouquet of white violets. Though it hadn't taken long for her to find the one with the flowers. Only problem was, that it wasn't a man at all. . Tatum looked the woman of long violet hair sitting at a table all by her lonesome self. She walked up to the woman at the table and tossed down the picture of the white violets. She placed her hands on the chair and leaned forward on them.
"I'm your date, lovely. I don't normally. . swing this way but I think I can make an exception." She paused and gave a friendly smile. "I love the color of your hair. It's just like my assistants. Such a vivid shade."

Valentine's Day had come around once again, and both of the Koyama women were there, as they usually were. However, this year only one of them was anxiously awaiting meeting their blind date. Nanami was in search of a conversation partner yet again, and since her realization, she had decided that maybe it was time to jump back into the dating world once again. Maybe that was why she was feeling a little nervous, the first time she had actually felt physically unnerved walking into the festival area. It had been a good seven years, afterall, she was rusty. And so she walked around silently, searching for a Mimosa. She had to look up what that was, but it was a cool sounding plant, and she figured it wouldn't be too hard to spot. And so the redhead stood off on her own, scanning the growing crowd for her date.
Haruka was there, but she hadn't entered the blind date thing, not this time. She just seemed to have awful luck when it came to these things, and so she elected to just hang out on her own. Maybe she'd run into a friend or an acquaintance and would have someone to talk to. But for the time being, she was standing off a short ways off from her mother. She was curious to see who Nanami ended up with, and as always, she was ready to come in and help her play the "I was a teen mother" card, if it wasn't going well.
Mei hadn't been to the Valentine's Day festival in a few years, and really, she had decided to come again on a whim. She had been stood up the last time, but at least she got some pretty flowers out of it, and so she was giving the festival another try. This year, the Chinese woman sat off at a table, her hands neatly folded on her lap, looking for a bouquet of Gerbera. She didn't recognize the name, not even after punching it into her electronic dictionary, but thankfully, she had had Mindy show her how to use Google, and now she had a general idea of what to look for. In the meantime, she glanced around anxiously, silently hoping she got a nice girl to talk to, or someone who spoke Chinese.
....Shinju was probably stupid for coming to a festival right after she managed to get out of Sonata household. Sure, she had been a free woman for a few weeks now, but still, she probably should have continued to stay low for a little while longer. But her run in with Reinbach had only convinced her that she really needed to go out and meet new people. Maybe if she got a boyfriend, the guy would leave her alone for good! And so the blonde walked into the festival... and spotted Reinbach right away. Moving as far away from the man as she possibly could, she silently cursed her awful luck, and moved her bouquet of forsythia so it was blocking her face somewhat. Yes, this was her way of hiding. Hopefully the man was stupid enough to not notice her, and she could move on and meet her date. And then, maybe, get the hell out of there.
Alex had been forced into the blind date thing again, and so the tall man walked into the festival area, pushed by River, of course. The woman had made sure he had made it to the festival in time, and he had to admit, she was pretty forceful when she was motivated. That was a trait that would probably come in handy at work some day. Anyway, once he had reached the festival, he shook River's hands away from his shoulders (she had been literally pushing him, though it was probably more for her own entertainment than anything else) and gave her a sharp look. "I'm here, now leave," he told her. He didn't need her getting in the way and making things worse like the year he had gotten taped to another guy over Freja. He waited until the blonde turned away in a huff, and then he looked around for his date, who was supposed to be holding poppies. He didn't have to look for very long before noticing a woman holding a bouquet of the vibrantly red flowers, and he strolled over with long strides. "Are those poppies?" he asked, just to be on the safe side, though he didn't need much of a confirmation. "I'm Alex. Nice to meet you," he introduced himself, holding his hand out for Arwen to shake. She certainly was attractive enough, though he had to wonder about the kimono. Who wore a kimono in this heat? Or, you know, outside?
Frankly, River was a little startled to be shaken off like that, but when she spotted her brother talking to the pretty Asian woman, she lit up. Not only did he find his date so soon, but she was hot! Well, this was a good day for River, and so she hurried off to go buy a box of chocolate to munch on while she watched all of the couples.
Of course Rory and Natalia were there. They hadn't gone to Beach Day because they had decided they were too lazy, so there was no way they were going to be missing two festivals in a row! That wouldn't do well at all! Of course, they weren't without their mistakes. Nat had completely forgotten to sign up for the blind date service, and so she was merely accompanying her best friend until they split up. Fair enough, she wouldn't be able to lurk if she had a date to deal with. And so the dark haired girl took a seat at one of the tables, all while teasing Rory about the girl he was probably paired up with.
Despite his roommate's best efforts to make him nervous, Rory was actually looking forward to meeting someone new. The last time, he had enjoyed himself greatly, just talking to someone who didn't insult him every few moments. And so he listened to Nat's harsh words without much care, all while he glanced around for someone holding a hibiscus.

When Shinju shoved her face in her bouquet of flowers, this did the right kind of movement for Yoakim to spot them. There you go, this was the unlucky woman he was paired with. He sigh before getting up of his chair, knowing that he would just disappoint her, but eh, at least he could make this moment enjoyable. He walked toward…. Whoever that woman was, he couldn’t really tell with her face stuffed inside those flowers like that… What was up with her? Bah, maybe she just really loved the smell of them flowers… ”Hello, Forshytia? You’re paired with me…” Now that he was that close to her, he felt like he actually knew who it was. Oh well, he would be aware of her identity soon enough now.
It was only when Kevin saw the man holding the bouquet of Oleanders did the man realized the error of his way, or rather, of his blind act. How in the world was he suppose to meet his date if he was suppose to find someone holding a certain kind of flowers, if he couldn’t see the damn flowers themselves? He frowned at the thought, more so angry at himself for not having thought it through carefully, than the fact that he couldn’t be doing his favourite lies right now. That was a beginnings error. How in the world could he have let himself do it? Once he returned home, he would have to ask Benedikt to kick him in the face or something like that. Hell! Even better! He should ask Judith to do so. She had always known the right thing to say and do when he made stupid errors like that. She had that power; making grown men cry. God, he loved that woman. Too bad he was gay.
Anyway, it was time to act. Standing up from his table, he approached the man holding th oleanders… Strange, he looked familiar. Had he sued him in the past? Then again, it wasn’t like there was a whole lot of people on the island for him to meet. He had probably just seen the boy, because he really was just a boy. Even younger than Benedikt, around the island once or twice. ”Ah… Excuse me? I believe we are supposed to be together…” He said in a soft tone. He had figured that a boy his age would prefer a calm and soft older man rather than a confident one. Either way, he could always change his act midway as he became more ‘comfortable’ around the him… or something like that. He would figure it out later. ”I… ah… I’m not really sure how this is suppose to work… You see, this is my first time doing… well… Uh… This… yes, uh… you know… Dating… a man…” Of course, for him a shy and calm act equal Yoakim, so he had decided to act just like his ex…. Well, acting like him like he was now, not like he was when they were dating. Hell, to act like that, he would have to punch his date in the face and yell at him for taking so long to show up. ”Uhm… Anyway, I’m Kevin?”
Oh My! Oh My! His date? Already? Just like that? Poppig out of no where in front of him without him having to look for her? Was she… could it be? He clothes, he skin, her face? Yes! She was a ghost! He was dating a ghost woman who could manifest wherever she wanted! Oh, this was simply wonderful! Thiis was his first time meeting a real ghost! A poltergeist! One named…. Wait a minute. ”Did you say your name was… Aniela Vannie? The Ballerina? I had head you had died!” So those rumours had been true! She had been killed 2 years ago in that incident at the mansion and had now returned to the world of the living and the dating scene as a ghost! Oh, this couldn’t be bette! The front page of the newspaper would be the best one in years, he could tell it already! A large grin appears on his face the more he thought of the story this night would make. Oh, he just had to make sure she didn’t run away or anything. With a normal person, he would just have thrown her in a jail at the police station and interrogate the hell out of them ( a technique created from the joint efforts of him and Romane), but you couldn’t really do that well with a ghost, now could you?
Freja couldn’t help put to let a small gasp come out of her lips when a scary, yet attractive, woman threw pictures on the table and was now staring at her, hands on the chair. Oh, she knew what that meant! Freja was accused of murdering someone and this woman was a police officer, hence the scary, and she would soon shove a light in her face until she confessed of crimes she had never committed! Oh, she knew this would happen one day! She had seen in one of those ‘movies’ Celeste loved to watched. The woman had assured her that they weren’t real, but it was happening! Right now! Right in front of her! TO HER. Oh, she was doomed. She would never survive Jail. All those women dancing around halfnaked singing about telephones? No, this really wasn’t a world for her!
She could feel her bottom lips starting to throbe, when Tatum finally spoke. She was her date? She liked her hair? Oh… Well…. Good! She wasn’t going to jail (yet)! Yay! ”Oh! H-hi! I’m-I’m F-Freja… Y-yes… It-it is l-lovely… Uhm… S-s-swing-g?” The purple haired woman looked around her. There wasn’t any swings that she could see… She thought the only ones on the island where at the playground, not the garden… And what did it mater if they were swinging this way? Was she afraid to hit someone while doing it? Oh! What a nice goodlooking scary looking woman she was! Being worried about the well being of everyone around her. ”Ah Y-yes.. I… I don’t s-swing th-this w-w-way either… It c-can be… Dangerous somet-times…” Way to go Freja! You’re making small talk! Oh, this was going really well. She was nervous and stuttering like there was no tomorrow, but at least she wasn’t in the middle of a fight like the last time she had came…. ”T-Thank you. I-I L-like yours too!

________________________________________She was surprised that the man had heard her name before. She started to smile thinking that he may have been interested in ballet and heard her name somewhere. The was quickly corrected when he said that he heard she died two years ago. Her smile dissipated and she turned her head to look away a little upset that the very subject she didn't want to run into was brought up. Glancing at him from the corner of her eyes she could see that he was completely delighted at the fact that she was dead and he was talking to her spirit. Her hands gripped the bouquet tightly trying to retain her anger.
"No, I'm not dead. . I don't know where you got that from but I am not deceased. In fact, I find that a bit offensive Mr.-" She paused and faced him again as if that was her questioning what his name was._____________She looked up to see a male with. . blue hair. He was tall too, compared to her anyways. She wondered if all the men on the island were tall.
"Yes, these are poppies," she replied to his question.
So that was her date. He's cute. .Already a good first impression. She started to smile when he introduced himself to her as Alex and held out his hand for her to shake. She was relieved that he wouldn't be hounding her like a dog, unlike a few certain men on the island. The woman placed her hand in his and gave it a delicate shake.
"Likewise. .I'm Arwen. Arwen Koyama."
She felt a sudden pang of guilt in her gut when the Hansel's face came into her head. she knew how he felt about her and how much he has helped her out upon settling in Nirvani. Even if she hadn't answered him on his offer for a date, she still felt like she owed it to him, but instead was out on a blind date with a gentleman name Alex. A really cute gentleman. .
Her eyebrow rose when the girl had no clue what she meant about which way she went when it came to dating. Tatum decided to let it slide and just not bring it up. And why is she stuttering? I hope that's not how she normally talks. I'm not sure if I could handle that for a long time. Maybe a few minutes but. . Tatum watched as the woman started to look around as if she were nervous or. . sidetracked. How could someone become sidetracked from me? Then seeming to get what Tatum meant she said that she didn't swing that way either. . That didn't make any sense to her. Was the match up a mistake for them? Freja then thanked Tatum for the compliment and said she liked hers too.
"Thank you," she said slowly, confused by the female. "I'm Tatum. I run the fashion store in town." She pulled out the chair and sat down with the nervous wreck. She crossed one leg over the other and placed her hands one on top of the other on her knee. "What do you do?"

   Aleksey arrived with his letter. Cause Goddess knows he was not good at reading English. If this was war and his life depended on his understanding of the English language he would be dead with the second wave of troops. At least he understood the concept of the letter. He had signed up to meet a pretty lady~ And now he was to find this.. Madder.. Oh he hoped the person wasn't mad in the head! Maybe it was a plant, that seemed about right, what with everyone around him carrying flowers and such. Well the woman were, mostly. Aleksey sighed lightly and stood in the middle of the gathering to try and spot someone without a date. All the while a, way to fat to fly bumblebee was buzzing lazily around Aleksey's head. The Russian was dressed up rather nice, in a suit though he still wore his scarf around his neck. He just stood there and waited patiently for this Madder person to come his way. ___ Integra had met up with Una who had also signed up for the Blind date disast- festival. The beautiful, big boobed whore woman was carrying a bouquet of Mimosa.While Una, who had been having her ear talked off by Integra the entire way, was carrying a bouquet of lucernes. Hopefully she could find a good date this year.

Nettle. Now where would that be? Hayden had heard of that plant, it was a pretty easy one to spot... easy enough to confuse it with a mistletoe or anything like that. The male had decided to go all out for this festival. Hopefully this time... things didn't get weird. For a bit he hadn't seen anyone with the plant he was looking for. Though then, it just stood out. There she was. "A nettle I presume?" asked the artist with a kind smile as he approached the woman. She was rather stunning. Huh, so far so good.
Romane had been pretty specific about going out when you had a child... So Rachel, almost about to leave the boy with his father, was met with an adamant redhead wanting to stay with the kid... Well it went something like that, the point was she left her child in good hands. Hopefully. But tonight the blond was out, holding a madder bouquet and looking quite nice. Now who would her date be?
Blind dates, oh dear. Julia was a little skeptical, but finally decided to go with it. It could be fun for all she knew! Besides, she dressed up for it! So with a bouquet of lilacs in hand, it was all a matter of waiting.
Another year~ Ilya had to wonder who her date would be this time. Her last years had been pretty... egh... so to say. Maybe this year would be better? She had a bouquet of peppermint with her, though she couldn't help but ask herself why peppermint? Weren't there other flowers? Oh well... they were sort of pretty? Not prettier than her tonight anyways.

 C A S S I D Y ::: F L Y N N Okay, so Cassidy knew she should be helping out with the whole moving-in process, once she realized something was going on, she didn't want to miss out. Besides, maybe she'd get a chance to meet some new people while here, which is always a good thing in her book. Walking a bit closer to the event, she saw that it was for Valentine's Day. She sighed, giving herself a face palm. Wow. What a genius. All the girls appeared to be holding flowers of some sort, making her feel a little strange, seeing as she lacked them, but still smile a bit, as she did love flowers. It was sweet being able to see all these people doing... whatever they were doing... but whatever it was looked romantic; Something she knew Arlette would love if she was here. Shrugging, Cassidy walked off to the side and just stood there. I feel kind of like a stalker... She thought to herself with a slight chuckle Oh well, at least no one here knows me yet.

Hm, no bachelor's button anywhere that Finnian could see.. Where were those pretty blue flowers..? The man scanned the growing crowd again, frowning slightly in disappointment as he saw various people starting to find eachother. It wasn't like he was the only one left, but.. He still felt a little awkward as he waited for his date to arrive. His superhero guise off, the man's confidence had disappeared as well and now he simply shuffled his feet, feeling truly ordinary in the worst way possible. Maybe she had decided against coming? She could have gotten sick or – well.. No! No, bad, Finnian! He couldn't lose hope! Had this disguise really gotten to him?! Finnian Buckley was a hero, gosh darnit, and heroes didn't lose faith in others! They rescued people! Suffering people! Like.. that girl standing idly to the side of the festival all alone with no flower to hold! Time to save her (and himself) from loneliness in the meantime to get back into the superhero feeling!
He smiled and walked straight towards her, stopping just before her with a small wave to make sure she saw him. “Hello, fine miss, I see you are alone! I presume you're waiting for someone? Ah, I see, it must be rather ordinary for dates to take a long period of time to arrive at the everyday, normal location for their mundane and average date.” He nodded, happy to know that to be true, even if she hadn't said anything. He went on hopefully to the girl, “I'll have to keep you company while we wait, miss. You never know who may be eying a helpless young lady like yourself for evil.” ..Ahh, Finnian – he really was wonderful at socializing.

Benedek's eyes scanned the candy in hand, still just as indecisive as he had been a few seconds prior. The man was so used to just jumping from one to the next that he didn't get the opportunity to really think on what he wanted to feel next, so once he had it.. well, it was hard not to take a bit of time on it. But, he should hurry, shouldn't he? The colors were starting to fade and he suddenly felt every ache and pain that everyday life gave. Down. He hated this feeling – loathed it – and he was just getting more and more irritated every moment he didn't have something in his system. “What?” He snapped at Emery when his eyes trailed over to her, pursing his lips in annoyance. Had she done anything? He didn't know, but, he.. he was just angry and he didn't like how she just stared at things. Why hadn't she left yet?! His fingers rolled up around the candy in hand, bringing his hand to a fist. He didn't say anything to her, simply stood there tensely, staring down the redhead before his eyes darted off to the right, then the left, and.. then right to a woman standing by herself.
..Ah, olive branch. He shook his head at Emery and started to walk off, grabbing what looked to be a piece of hard candy and sticking it on his tongue as he headed toward the woman. “Hello.” He greeted in a not-so-friendly manner, pausing to suck on the sweet in his mouth for a moment. “Olive branch. Me, you, date.” He told her quickly, taking a deep breath as he pocketed his array of treats. He hesitated for a moment, looking at her thoughtfully before he pulled his hand back out with what looked to be a jaw breaker, “Take it?” Well, it was more enjoyable when he was high with someone else, wasn't it? And if he was to hang around the woman, then.. May as well.

Even with how.. 'prepared' Jacob had thought he was, the man still nearly jumped out of his skin when someone approached and spoke to him. He tensed up, his eyes widened, and he pulled the bouquet closer to him as though he were guarding it from someone, like one of those footballs he used to help guard to the goal post. He looked up at the slightly taller male and stared for a few moments, gathering his thoughts up. He seemed pretty.. nice. Calm, relaxed – not flamboyant and pushy like Kade or, well, too.. average. Quiet and the hair helped too – in fact, had the man been a girl, this would have been exactly Jacob's type, give or take a few things. ..But, he was a man and.. Jacob wasn't supposed to think like that anymore. ..Not that that was any problem right now. Nope, he wasn't even thinking about it! His face had went from nervous to somewhat relaxed to thrice as nervous as before as realization dawned on him, dropping the bouquet just as he figured it out. Him. Oh, Goddess, he needed to get out of here – now!
“Uh–!” He started as he went down to the ground to frantically scoop the flowers back up, unwilling to litter even when he so badly wanted to get out before the other noticed who he was or – would he even remember? Oh, Goddess, he hoped not. He was about to turn with a quick, muttered goodbye, when something else hit him as odd. ..Hang on a second. “You're gay?!” He thought – but – this didn't make sense! Why was he doing a gay dating thing if he was – unless he wasn't and – oh, Goddess, he knew it. It wasn't Kade! THIS guy turned him gay! Any panic fled in favor of rage as he stared up down the other.

She was not dead? But… he could see her right in front of him! How could a not-dead girl be there? Oh, there was many flaws in Aniela’s logic from where Neil was standing. Obviously, the poor girl hadn’t realized the state she was in yet. Maybe that was why she was a ghost. Would she stay one until she accepted her own death? If that was so, he should question her as fast as he could before she did and then poof’ed away! Oh, he would ever forgive himself if that happened before he had the time to ask her 30 questions! That was the very minimum amount of questions one should ask to make a good story, after all. ”Murrow! Neil G. Murrow, Reporter extraordinaire, Editor in chief of the island newspaper! You have no idea how wonderfully delighted I am to meet someone like you.” Dead. ”So! Tell me, do you often roam this place? What are you doing lately? Scared anyone yet? Any regrets in your life? Is there someone you’d like to take vengeance upon? Are you an angry woman? Or more the kind to cry at night? Every night? My! Answer me! So many people are interested in you, miss Vanni!” Could a ghost still be called Miss? He didn’t know, but might as well stay with the usual polite form of the English language.
+++++++++
”Th-the Fashion s-store?”, Freja asked, with a mix emotions of surprise, confusion and admiration. She didn’t know they had anything fashion on the island, but then again, she did’T know half the things that were on the island, since she was usually working in her own shop, or it was late night where everything was closed. That didn’t give her much time for shopping or anything like that. It was usually her sister, Lotte, who would do those chore. As for the admiration part of her mixed emotions, it was because the woman was running a store! All by herself! Oh, of course, Freja was also doing it, but she knew that without the help of Teddy and Una, she would just be a complete failure who would never get anything done. Not her fault if she knew that he shop would get so popular as to attract up to 3, 4 and even sometimes FIVE customers in a day. ”Ah, uh… I own th-the Magic S-Shop… new the t-town square? It’s your one place for everything Occult~” Hey, at least that was one sentence she could do without any form of stuttering!
+++++++++
Before long, three servants where trying to talk to Reinbach, who, was busy asking other servants to shoo them away! Who did they think they were? Miserable lowlife servants! Talking to him? A God of beauty in search of his missing fiancé? She should be flailed! Of course, what he didn’t know was that two of them had spotted Shinju and the thirdway was pointing toward Ilya and her peppermint. After ordering the two who had spoke the name of his love without the proper address to have their tongues cut, he finally looked in the direction the third one had been pointing at. Oh? Those were Peppermint6 Well! He should have talked Sooner! Which was why Reinbach was nor ordering him to be locked in a room full of mice. That would teach him!
Then, in all the Sonata Fashion, he ordered his servants to go fetch Ilya for him, which they did. Four servants ran toward the woman, picked her up in the air, ran back toward their master and sat her down on a chair. The pompous man looked her up. Well, she wasn’t bad looking. Not bad at all. Oh, of course, she had nothing againt his Shinju, but for a peasant girl, he supposed, she must have been regarded as attractive. “So, you are the lucky woman to be paired with me, isn’t that fabulous? Now, please. Tell me your name, age and cycle of ovulation. “ If he couldn’t find Shinju to get him an heir, he would need to use the next best thing, which was that woman. Whoever she was.
++++++++++
Now, Kevin had seen various reaction on the people he dated when he met them, but… this boys? He was pretty sure it was the first time had met someone who looked afraid to be there. Last time he had checked himself in a mirror, which was this morning, he had thought he was rather attractive and in no way ugly enough to scare a men like this boy was being scared. Maybe it was his first gay experience? Oh, wouldn’t that be just cute. Kevin would be more than happy to take his virginity~ Ah… yes… I believe so… It is rather new too…” He had to stop midway in his sentence as the boy dropped his flowers and then completely changed his attitude. What was up with that moodswing boy? It was just like….oh. Ohhhhhhhhh. Was he? Yes! YES HE WAS! He remembered now. Oh, this would be so much fun in the end. God loved him too much.
He took a shocked stance, which he changed into anger just as fast as Jacob had done it previously. He even had his left hand shaking in rage! ”YOU! IT’S YOU! YOU ARE THAT BOY!” He snapped at him before Jacob at the time to say anything. He was probably just as naïve as before~ ”Yes! Yes I am gay and it’s all your fault! Even since you… you and you gay gene slept on my couch…oh God. Oh I’m going to be sick…” He bent don, bringing both hand to his mouth and secretly shoving one finger down his throat to give him a gag movement. It wasn’t enough to make him actually puke, but at least, he wouldn’t be faking it (too much).
