[ 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 May. 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.
His name is/was Augustus. He's tallish, I think, with dark tousled hair and thoughtful eyes. Very serious in appearance but he has a romantic side to him.
[ she only realises what she's written after she sent the message. oh god. ]
I mean!!! Have you met someone who matches that description?
[As he lets Kasen follow him, he heads straight through the pipes slowly with his hopes of leading them to the lecture hall. And as if it grants his wishes, they managed to arrive through a small crack in front of them and once they went through it, they may find themselves outside the said lecture hall, much to Augustine's relief.]
Here we are. I hope your little incident didn't affect your schedules.
[He is right as this whole phenomenon makes any normal routine difficult thanks to their current size and by the looks of it, he is not happy with their current situation as well.]
I just hope this is not permanent like those other changes. Otherwise, any of my lectures may turn into a workload just to finish them.
[He doesn't to start about his volunteer work at the animal shelter as he feels it's not a pretty sight to imagine.]
[Day one with his little crocodile friend was pretty interesting, to say the very least. He's not really sure who to turn to for advice on caring about the little guy, but... Maybe the Professor can help. He's been taking care of a dragon for a month. He's a biology professor. It'll be fine.
Maybe.]
Hey, Professor? Could I talk to you?
[He's not even planning on going to college. Professor's practically a nickname at this point.]
[Another strange creature? And as he takes a closer look at the picture, it looks like a small crocodile-like creature. And like Modeste, it somehow kept its blue body.]
A crocodile creature that can spit water... That's... an interesting creature you have there...
[No points on guessing who sent that creature to Silver then.]
Yeah. I saw them in one of my hallucinomemories a little while ago.
[Although one of them looked kind of different, but that's not the point.]
I know you're probably busy, but could you take a look at him? I've never even raised a goldfish before. His face doesn't change much, and I want to make sure he's okay. It's not like I can bring him to a vet.
[And Sauveterre is both more familiar with the strange animals than he is and also more of an adult.]
Well the cops found the dagger that was sent to me strange but they were frustratingly unhelpful about it. It almost seems like they're conditioned to not react to this?
Of course I do. That's a given after what everyone has been through.
How is the million dollar question for us at the moment. Only knows who really know are Jim and others in the company and we have not seen hide nor hair of them.
[ Well, they've been assigned to a chore team together... Elizabeth doesn't mind—she enjoys spending time with people in general, she's come to find—and the first chore they've decided to take on is handmaking a gift for an elderly person! Or a child.
Luckily, she gotten origami lessons from Hinata, so she has some colorful Christmas-themed paper for that. There's other art supplies too, of course... ]
What should we make, Mr. Sauveterre? I've become quite adept at making paper stars as of late, but I'm not certain they'd be a good gift.
[While he still needs a few moments to remember that familiar name, Augustine is just as happy that they will be working together for the charity drive. As they agreed, they decided to try to take on handmaking a gift for the elderly.
And just seeing the Christmas-themed paper and other art supplies gives him an idea for their gift.]
True. But now that you've mentioned it, I was thinking we should try making a special Christmas card along with some special surprises I'm planning.
[A text comes to you in the late afternoon of February 3rd. The sender's name has been encrypted and errors out and there are no signs of who the message belongs to. Clicking on the profile of this Retrospec user brings up a picture of the Retrospec symbol.]
How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.
You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Celendine Partha. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at Peach Beach tomorrow morning and we'll go from there.
You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?
[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]
[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 1. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head on over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates! Thank you!]

Well, I know what it is now and I regret knowing now. Things got complicated really quickly.

It's an engagement necklace. I know because I had a vision of someone proposing to me with it.

Do you know the name of the person who proposed to you in your vision?

I found this guy in a ball in my room yesterday. He spits water out like a hose.

Does the ball you have is colored red and white?

You made a very good point.
In fact, they seem to act normal when they even see our packages, even with Modeste.
no subject
I don't know how to word it but it's that.
no subject
You do remember what happens if we show the app to someone who doesn't used it, right?
no subject
How is the million dollar question for us at the moment. Only knows who really know are Jim and others in the company and we have not seen hide nor hair of them.
no subject
Not to mention that we're also the ones who see these packages as out of place.
