[Oh no, it's HER again. Just look at that jerk, all happy and smiling in her crisp little business suit and pencil skirt, pretending to be a professional just because she's sitting at a desk, UUUUUUUUUGH.]

Good morning!

[She's way too chipper for morning hours.]

This is just a friendly reminder for a couple of things. One, tomorrow night is the holiday party, which includes a hot spring bash for the ladies beforehand. No guys allowed.

[She wags a finger chidingly at the camera, so don't even think about bringing your gross peeping tom antics, perverts.]

It's going to be at the Fairy Tail HQ, and you can dress as warm and comfortably as you'd like since it's pretty informal. There's also going to be a date auction! We're going to be handling that part of the night a little differently than what you're probably used to, but I promise, it's going to be fun. You should come only if you're comfortable with the idea that one of your friends might have signed you up for the auction, because I'm pretty sure half of the offers I got weren't from the actual volunteers.

[She shrugs; what can you do?]

On the plus side? The proceeds are going to charity -- specifically, more extracurricular programs for the public schools in Attleton, like sports and arts and music. It's supposed to be relaxed and fun, so if you're going to pitch a fit at the very idea of going on a harmless date, just avoid that part of the party. There's still plenty of other stuff to enjoy!

[She waves her hand back and forth dismissively.]

There's going to be plenty of food, live music, probably some dancing if you're not too shy, games, and maybe a sprig of mistletoe here and there.

[Minako winks.]

So you should come! And make sure to thank Fairy Tail for letting us host a party there. Now for the second reminder!

[She leans forward, blue eyes glittering eagerly.]

I've been promoted as the owner of the Aphrodite Lovematching & Arcade, so there are going to be some exciting new changes and improvements! If you haven't signed up for our dating service and tutorials, give it a shot! We have private lessons on how to slow dance, behave at a nice restaurant, and even offer practice dates so you can get some experience in before asking out that special someone.

But don't forget! We're also an arcade with the hottest games, and we're looking to expand our selection. So if you've got a game idea you'd like to pitch, or even better know how to make, we're hiring! We'll pay a commission for game scripts, especially for dating sims, and we'd love to hire anyone who knows how to make games. I'd also like to include a VR suite where you can run through with a laser gun and defeat enemies with your friends. It'll take a while to build the extra wing, but trust me, it's going to be worth it.

[She leans back and folds her hands on the desk, beaming.]

Which reminds me. Whoever won the StarDate device from the newspaper puzzles? Call me. If they're going to compete with our matchmaking, I want to know if we need to step up our game.

[There's a little flash of fire in her eyes. As long as people are falling in love, she can't be TOO mad, BUT THIS IS HER JOB THEY CAN'T JUST TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER!]

That should do it! Questions? Suggestions? Let me know, and I hope I see all of you at the party tomorrow night!

[he'd slept in. Cloud almost never slept in... but he still had to have something in the morning. which is why with a warm cup of coffee, sunlight pouring into the room despite the cool weather outside, the blond flips through entries in the device to catch up on events. now that everything seemed to be returning to normal, Cloud intended on going out and looking for places to stay.

with work finalized, he's got a direction. just gotta wake up after some coffee and-]


...??

["Good morning!" someone was a ball of sunshine today. Cloud's listening to the video and glancing back at it here and there as she relays information. some kind of date auction for charity?]

(Not interested.)

[but...it was a good cause either way. hopefully it went well for them. not that he'd be partaking or so he thought. he picks up the device after taking another longer drink of his morning cup, faint glowing blue eyes having a little more life to them now that he was a bit more awake after listening to this.]

You guys got any racing games? [like motorbikes and snowboards?]

[damn. ... this might get dangerous for him. he had work to do. but he could treat it like a rare day at the Gold Saucer or something. he was curious, admittedly.]

When I've got some time, I think I'll stop by.

Congrats on the promotion.

[well it's not like he's going up there for the auction or anything, so...]

I'll check my work schedule.

[he's quiet as she seems to be skimming through something. blinking curiously, when she comes back and looks rather mischievous, he can't help but slightly narrow his eyes]

...

Someone, huh? [on one hand, he shouldn't. on the other hand, this wasn't his home world so what else would he be doing? cautious chocobo is cautious]

A secret admirer? But who would even...?

[know him? Cloud quiets down a little bit. good job, Minako. now you got him thinking about this.]

I know you invited me to the hot spring party, but... Are you absolutely certain it's okay for me to be there?

[Anastasia wants to go, but she's nervous about doing so. Perhaps she's afraid there will be people who won't approve of her being there?]

[There appears ship-happy blonde #2]

Oh, the party and auction are combined then. All right.

Ah, but to answer your question, that was I. I don't think you need to worry about that; like most doll-run businesses, I expect it's largely for the benefit of the, ah, other ones. No one of significance was on there, last I checked.

[Private]

I won it for Zexion, figuring he might need every advantage he can get. You know, keep a finger in every aphrodisiac pie.

[Did he sign him up for the auction? Probably not; he has reasons.]

I certainly am, so there are no worries about that.

Though I never met Maribelle before. I don't even know who all will be there...

[Now she's thinking there's a chance she'll be outright denied at the door rather than just not having anyone's approval.]

[this girl's got a lot of ambitions and pleasant thoughts. his expression is stern and cool, but...knowing Cloud, he'd get wrapped up in this whole thing anyways.]

Not interested.

[... but he'll be there.]

It wouldn't surprise.

[And, hey, that's on a Friday, which means he can go! Thanks Winter. Thinter.]

Oh, go right ahead. I'll look for you tomorrow at the fated spot.

[Silly Minako. Everyone knows machines can't love.]

[Whoop! He should've seen that coming. He likes Minako and likes the idea of an auction, but in his experience, they don't work out in practice. Funnily enough, the best date he had was by explicitly asking out a heathen to church a day after an auction. He didn't get bid on in the last one either so there's that. But just saying "no thank you" would make too much sense.]

You're welcome! Ah, no, it ah...well, you know how it is. Men pursue, women are pursued. Flipping the script like that is a novelty too far for me.

I look forward to it just the same, of course.
