(no subject)
O ho ho ho ~~~ ! Romance has certainly seeped into the summer air, hasn't it? Can't you feel it in every single one of your pores? A new active agent, perfect for every* complexion!
*Expect for that of the people staring the way of poor, innocent, defenseless Haruhi. Perverts don't deserve nice skin anyway!
In light of, shall we say, a feeling that a lot of you will need it soon, your humble host has decided to share his 1.5 tons of refined wisdom and give you a few pointers on...
OR: How to Cook a Delightful Meal for a Special Someone
In Your Otherwise Tragic Existence from which HOnly a Sudden
Injection of Enthusiastic Passionate Feeling Can Save Your
Tormented Soul Lest You Should Otherwise Hecome a Tragic
Villain with a Questionably Fashionable Mustache!
Serves two star-crossed lovers on a diet.
o1. Realize your personal chefs are unavailable to perform their most sacred of duties.
o2. Weep.
o3. Understand that you are a prince/ss, a scholar, and the subject of great trial before a cruel fate, and accept your duty with noble resignation.
o4. Stare at the oven.
o5. Stare some more.
o6. Keep... staring...
o7. Actually, at great risk to his personal safety, Daddy has already undertaken this experiment at length and observed that the stove does not eat children in its free time. ( We have allowed a wishgrant in its vicinity for that purpose.) But even so, don't you suddenly feel a greater kinship with the Wise Commoners, now that you've immersed yourselves in their fine technology? Truly a miracle, isn't it?
o8. Place a thinly chopped onion in a bowl in such a location that best flatters your personal sense of feng shui. Please take extreme care with this step, because the onion will prove highly relevant in the future.
o9. Inspect your nails. Did you remember to use an especially shiny polish today?
10. Realize there are only five more hours until your special moment.
11. Weep once more. With feeling. And blame it on the chopped onion! See, Daddy told you it would come in handy.
12. Reapply your lovely, new, (this time) waterproof mascara, because you cried earlier, and failure is no reason to not look your best.
13. Wonder whether the gods have grown jealous of your beauty and decided to punish you.
14. Remember that the gods rarely punish main characters!
15. Be very sad for your secondary character host-types who will never be as charming, elegant, and awe-inspiring as you are.
16. Review your opinion about strategic retreats. Accept their virtues!
o3. Inform your Special Someone that mere men dine on courses, but you two, ah, no-no - since you would never dare offend its purity, tonight you will dine on your true love alone.
Bon appetit!
[ ooc: I tried to match them up to get some interesting personality clashes/mixes, so I hope that worked! And I left the usernames for people to find each other OOCly / easier contact. No obligation to make it a romantic date, naturally! And, er, the following should receive a very simple, unsigned white card in their mail, or on their doorstep, with something like 'Tempt the Fates' on one side.
The card should include indications to come alone at random locations in the City, some time in the early afternoon. Different location and hour combo / pair!
