Action: Not really
When: Now!

Valentine's Day is coming up! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

For those of you who don't know, that's a holiday for lovers where you exchange gifts and do something special together. It happens every year on February 14th!

Anyway, since it's coming up, that got me thinking, what'd be your ideal date? Well. What's your ideal date out of what we got available? Or I guess what would make for a good date?

No, why settle?!

Let's go with a G R E A T date. So? What is it? Hmmmmmmm? °₊·ˈ∗♡(ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)♡∗ˈ‧₊°

[A slight delay before:]

I'm asking for a friend.

lounging on the sofa together surrounded by pets watching ancient aliens and having eating contests

[Does that sound oddly specific? Yes. Is she missing someone so much she feels like a part of her heart's been carved out with a spoon, and is this just making it worse? Oh yes.]

Asking for a friend

Right. Sure. Subtle.

[Utter deadpan,]

A dear friend of mine introduced me to 'Netflix and chill' and I have to say, nothing's quite beaten it yet.

[Thank you, Shatterstar.]

That's really specific, but I don't think there are ancient aliens around here. Or many sofas. 〈(゜。゜)

You don't have any way to prove otherwise. SO answer the question!

What the hell is Netflix?

[nulliverse]

its criminal not to have any forms of media here
if were supposedly part of a program ourselves the least they could do is offer us some of our own to watch
although i have to admit thatd make piss poor entertainment

you asked for my ideal date
it happens to be very specific in nature
but i did gather that you were looking more for ideas here

i just havent any

[nextlineis]

Thanks anyway, I guess.

[alwayscomeback]

...Sure, why the heck not.

[He's just going to be bitter and alone for the holiday anyway. Someone might as well enjoy it. ]

Did you ask your friend what the datee in question enjoys doing? If they want to make it something special, making it personal is a good start.

[nulliverse]

i know, im no help at all
ive been asleep or something practically since i got here
im still sussing the place out myself

is that a regular thing
earth holidays being celebrated here?
the last place i lived had its own

[nextlineis]

[How bitter will it make him to know Joseph's got not one, but two people to spend it with?]

I know a couple of things they like. But some of it wouldn't make good date material. Definitely not for everyone involved anyway.

[GOD, CAESAR, GET SOME HOBBIES.]

[nextlineis]

I don't know.

I think there's a lot of people around who are from Earth or have been around people from Earth, so they're probably more likely to celebrate them than other holidays. I don't know if anybody else is celebrating Valentine's Day, although THEY SHOULD. （*’∀’人）♥

The best dates definitely start with lots of good food!!! You can't have a great date without great food, especially if it's a big homestyle plate for two people to share from together!! (ʃƪ ✿˘ ³˘)♡∗ˈ‧₊°

But you have to do lots of other romantic things too!! You should definitely tell your friend that what's most important is making the person you're with happy, so every date will be a little different — you have to think of them first!!! But some things are always good places to start, like going to a quiet place with a scenic view, or walking through the park holding hands, or dancing! Things that will let you stay close to the person you're with, that's absolutely the best thing of all, because they're the reason you're on the date in the first place!!!!

[nulliverse]

i suppose theres not much likelihood of there being adrift in space holidays is there
so it makes sense in its own way

unfortunately my valentine was left behind in that last place i mentioned
so ill have to abstain this year
unless someone gets their hands on a good deal of chocolate
then ill be more than willing to eat my feelings in honour of the day

[alwayscomeback]

[SUPER bitter. ]

That bad, huh?

Okay. So are they adventurous? Quiet? Give me something to work with here.

It sounds like you could use some help narrowing down ideas for just one date! ♡✧。 ( ◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

[nextlineis]

That's too bad on every front. You're probably going to have to settle for paste.

[nextlineis]

[Now here's the conundrum. How to talk about what Suzie and Caesar are both like without giving away that there's two people involved or giving too much away that they'd be easy to identify. Damn. Suzie and Caesar are both pretty different. He stalls.]

I don't want to out my friend...

[C'mon Joseph, think. There's definitely things that they have in common that won't maybe be too obvious. Stay generic.]

But I do know they're a little hopelessly romantic. They need a little convincing to try new things, but they usually have fun once they give it a shot. And I don't think they care about stuff all that much. I mean having things. They don't care about that.

[ragazzina]

No, silly! I'm offering ideas to help you, isn't that what you asked for?

[SHE IS A HELPER, SHE IS HELPING.]

Just because I know what I'd like best doesn't mean it's the same for your friend and the person they want to take out!!

Great date? Crap food, some movies, laughing and maybe some necking if you feel like it.

[She misses Hector something fierce.]

[nextlineis]

[AND SUCH A GOOD HELPER AT THAT.]

Well then maybe you should tell me why you like what you like best and then I can see if that's true for my friend and their special someone!

[pain_train]

okay so like

mardi gras parade and i got fucking wasted off my ass and lost all my clothes and we did body shots and then he gave me a piggy back ride and we jousted with a bunch of other people and won so that was probably the best day ever

[ragazzina]

Mmmmm, let's see! σ(≧ε≦ｏ)

I haven't really gone on too many dates but the ones I think about most would be dinner and dancing. Because eating with someone makes me feel close to them, especially if there's flowers and candlelight and maybe even some music. So there's plenty of time to talk, but it's okay if that person and I don't want to talk, either, because there's something else to do and enjoy...

And then dancing is like dinner because I'd get to dress up for both and feel beautiful, but dancing is lively! There's music and laughing and moving around, and it's fun to get tired out like that. It's fun to be in a crowd of people but be the center of someone's attention, too!! My older sister was always like that, men would look at her like she was the only person in the world and it was so romantic! (ʃƪ ✿˘ ³˘)｡ﾟ+.✧♡

So I think that must be nice too!!

I don't think the crap food would go over so well, but the rest doesn't sound so bad. ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ»

I'm not sure that makes the best date material for most people... 「(°ヘ°)

[Frankly, he's not actually sure about 98% of what she's said.]
