♡ Call 002 [video, April 28, evening]

[amorini]

[This evening finds Cupid on her couch again, a box settling into view in the corner of the feed while she makes herself comfortable.]

Wow, okay so- shopping for other people? Totally exhausting.

[As she speaks, she opens up the pastry box in front of her and withdraws a ridiculously decadent-looking cupcake, leaning back on her sofa and crossing her legs primly.]

Feels excellent helping them bring their wardrobe up to speed from whatever the last fashion era they got stuck in was, though.

[Not to mention she gets to dress people up all day. Score!]

But I've been thinking- since I got here, really- that helping people out with their issues might be why I'm here. Soooo...

What would everyone think of a little matchmaking? For people looking for Partners as well as people looking for romance- since really, they're both about compatibility to one degree or another. I'd have to make up some forms and stuff, of course, but I figured I should throw it out there, and see what everyone thinks...!

On top of that- would anyone be interested in an advice broadcast? I figure it'd be possible to broadcast over the network maybe once a week- folks can mail in questions for me to answer on-air, or just call in and ask live! What do you say? Good ideas or no?

[Though really, she'll probably wind up doing them regardless. She sits up a little straighter after a moment's pause though, and leans forward.]

--oh, and before I forget... [She reaches into the box again and pulls out another cupcake.] Got something for you Jack!

[[much as he's very very wary of this individual...]]

I think a partner matching service would be a good idea.

[[about a 3 second pause before a follow up text]]

With no romance attached.

[video]

[amorini]

[How can you be wary of Cupid bro she is pink and adorable.]

Well... yeah. I mean those were two entirely separate ideas. As far as I've been told, partners don't have to be together romantically to function.

[[That's kinda exactly why he's wary of her. That and the whole romance thing. All the red flags of people for him to run away from very fast before his life could get ruined. But he's getting kinda desperate to avoid a certain partnership and this seems a better alternative than another that's been presented to him....

And she might not turn out to be like those creepy girls in his fanclub! Optimism!]]

Which is true. A lot of people seem to feel differently, though.

[video]

[amorini]

[That's stereotyping Bakura! Ruuuuuuude.

But no, she's awesome.]

And that's really their prerogative- but as far as my intended services go, they're completely unrelated to the process.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

[[It's not stereotyping, it's self preservation! And totally not something he'd even mention which makes it totally okay, right?]]

Glad to hear it.

[[no, really. When dealing with someone who calls herself "Cupid" to hear that there wasn't going to be any tricking him into going on a date is a relief.]]

[video]

[amorini]

[It totally is, and mentioned or not, it's still rude!]

Did you want to participate in the partner-matching when I get around to it, then?

[video] The sidelines of this escalated quickly.. :D

[shiromadoushi]

[[Stop trying to ruin his self image of himself as a nice polite boy with your crazy logic talk]]

Yeah. I haven't had much luck with partners on my own. I probably need the help!

[video] That happens sometimes

[amorini]

[Sorry, she can't turn it of.]

Well, maybe you just haven't met the right person yet! That's okay, I'm sure I can help with that!

[video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a slight pause before he replies.]]

Maybe... I might just not know where to look.

[video]

[amorini]

Maybe! Or they're just not here yet- either way, I'll figure something out for you, don't worry!

[Text] (and that should have been text up there too, phhht.)

[shiromadoushi]

Thanks.

[video]

[amorini]

No problem at all. I'll let everyone know when I have things up and running, so you know where to find applications and all that, okay?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it.

[video]

[amorini]

Sure thing, but good luck trying to find one on your own in the meantime- I don't presume to think anyone will sit around waiting on me.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Thanks. I think I need it.

[video]

[amorini]

Just remember- don't try and go rushing into something just because it looks right. Even in partnerships, I think finding the right one probably takes longer for some than others.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

I think at this point I wouldn't mind settling for something that even looked close to right.

[[It's a bit relaxing just using text with someone that doesn't know who you are or what you look like. Makes it easier to say things he normally wouldn't. (It's sort of helping that fangirl paranoia too.)]]

[video]

[amorini]

Hey now, I know it can be tough not being able to find the right person in any situation- but rushing into something that might not be right just because it looks like a good thing? Not the wisest choice. Just cool your heels a little- when it's the right time, and the right partner, it'll happen...!

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

But I'll be useless until then...

[video]

[amorini]

I'm sure there's plenty you can do besides fighting to be helpful in the meantime.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

[[... it's always weird when he hears what he says to others said back to him. It makes him uncomfortable in a way he doesn't quite know how to explain double standards much]]

I guess. It just sometimes doesn't feel like much of it really helps.

[video]

[amorini]

Oh now, don't be like that- no war was ever won by fighting alone...! Believe me on that one.

[video]

[shiromadoushi]

There isn't much here that anyone can do alone...

[[Which... is kinda his problem.]]

[video]

[amorini]

There's plenty to volunteer to do though, as I understand it. There's a group that's helping to fix up the city, there's those people on the Watch, and then S.E.E.S. does a little bit of everything, the way I hear it.

[PermaText] (because I keep forgetting to change it ><)

[shiromadoushi]

I guess...

It just sometimes feels like it's not enough, when everyone else is out doing bigger things and protecting people.
