004 ☾ [Action] & [Video] Auction & Missing Friends

[moonbeams]

[The video feed cuts on, And Usagi's cheerful face is only partially obscured by what looks to be a very elaborate dessert drink -- likely one she's helped whatever cafe craft herself. So it reminds her of home.

She offers the camera a wink.]

I hope everyone's having fun with the auctions! [There's a pause, and she lifts a hand to scratch the back of her neck sheepishly.] It looks like we made a lot of mistakes... It looks like a lot of people didn't sign themselves up, we're super sorry! Next time we'll make sure nothing like this happens again.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't make the best out of the situation! We're raising a lot of money, and you might have a lot of fun on your dates! So don't be too down, okay? [She offers another, brighter smile, though the expression falters slightly as the video ends.]


[Once the feed is off, Usagi slumps slightly in her seat, her chin resting in her hands as she blows bubbles in her mostly forgotten drink. Despite keeping busy with the dating service, she can't help but feel sad at losing a few of her friends.]

Michiru-san must be with Haruka-san. hey'll be okay together, won't they? [she mostly murmurs this as her brows knit.]

I hope Naru-chan is okay... [she sniffs, still feeling a rather bitter pang of guilt from the words Nephrite's words had created months ago. Maybe if she had been a better friend, Naru wouldn't have disappeared as well.]

I don't mind being signed up to this thing. It was for a good cause, and there was food involved.

What's that thing you're drinking? It looks good.

[moonbeams]

Hehe. That's really nice of you, mister! A lot of people are still upset with us I think...

[She blinks down at her drink]

It's a peppermint cream soda float! It's really tasty, you should try one sometime!

[filchedfruit]

Some of us don't come from places where people date. Putting an auction on top of that just made things more confusing.

[ back to the drink]

Where can I get one?

video; private

[sinfullysublime]

I am glad to see the auction going so well. [ a nod as he feigns a smile. ] But I do have a request. If possible, may I please have the card that had been filled out on my behalf once it's over?

[moonbeams]

Umm... What do you need the card for? [She sees no reason to deny the request, but that doesn't mean she's not curious.]

[sinfullysublime]

I would like it as a souvenir of sorts. Silly, I know, but this had been a rather interesting turn of events. It wasn't as bad as anticipated... not to mention it's for a good cause.

[Video]

[wieldstheglaive]

[Yeah that auction... some one will just be over here blushing about that whole concept. ]

Usagi-chan, do you really think an auction was a good idea? It's so...

[EMBARRASSING! ]

Have there really been that many complaints?

[moonbeams]

Hehe. I thought it might be fun! It was mostly Minako-chan's idea. I thought she'd know best for sure!

[She nods though, sombering up a bit.]

Mm. A lot of people were unhappy. I feel pretty bad about it.

[wieldstheglaive]

I know you were just trying to make everyone happy.

[Poor Usagi-chan... She hadn't meant to make her upset. ]

Maybe if you explain that they will cheer up.

[Having gotten over the initial shock, Ciel tries to be diplomatic about this. Usagi was of the female persuasion... and he might have been too harsh with her earlier]

It.. was a big misunderstanding. I do hope that we can put it all behind us.

[moonbeams]

[A little harsh perhaps. Usagi is a bit hesitant to answer the video.]

Hm... Mm. We made a lot of mistakes. [She does feel as though they could have done something, even if the blame can't really be placed on their shoulders.]

[no_souls_here]

You did have help making them. [He offered]

[the_most_talent]

Usagi-chan? [She spoke quietly, noting that something was off]

Are you sure you're all right?

Was anyone cruel to you over this auction thing? [Because if they were, Makoto wants names. She'll make them apologize to you 8/. She also missed the people who had left but didn't realize that's what was on the other girl's mind]

[moonbeams]

E-eh? No, no Mako-chan! [She smiles, it's a warm, comforting feeling to know Makoto cares that much.]

Some people were angry, but Mianko-chan and I made a lot of mistakes. We'll just have to apologize a lot!

[the_most_talent]

They better not have been. [She's got your back Usagi-chan!]

Mistakes? It seemed pretty straight-forward to me. Did some people not know how to fill in the application forms?

[mister_foppish]

[Ohoho...Miss Minako Aino's partner in crime, is it? My, my..!~ This is going to be rather interesting.]

Could be worse ways to start off on being welcomed here, I suppose. Some people might interpret being sold off as a "date" against their will as human trafficking, darling. Better be a bit more careful next time.

[Permavideo] 2/2

[mister_foppish]

Getting the wrong idea when it's supposed to be for a good cause isn't up my alley, however.

[Strangely, he doesn't really mind.]

Besides, I think it's kind of fun. If people don't have a sense of humor then that's their problem!~♥

[offrillsandswords]

Do they have to be called dates and not friendly get togethers?

[moonbeams]

Hmm.... I suppose they can be called whatever you want them to be! As long as they're fun, right?

action;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Minako sneaks in with covers over her head. She may have gotten out of bed, but it doesn't mean she ain't taking the covers with her where ever she goes. She's still healing from the last battle, even if her arm is slightly better.]

Of course, as Aim-chan once said a couple weeks ago, they are destined to be together. [She moves in a little more, moving the covers so they slightly cover Usagi to.]

I'm sure she is safe Usagi-chan.

[moonbeams]

[Usagi nearly jumps at the sudden appearance of her friend, But manages not to spill her drink all over the table.]

M-m-minako-chan! [She clutches the right side of her chest, eyes wide. Wow that was a shock. But well... Minako's words are not lost on her. A warm, if sad smile flutters onto her face.]

You're right.. I really hope so.

[ukidokiotaku]

Words don't mean they didn't send them. They just thought it would be private. Ah, they are such shy people. It's wonderful.

[moonbeams]

I don't know.. a lot of the information seemed wrong somehow! A lot of people were angry. [She lifts her fingertips to her chin thoughtfully, brows knit.]

But maybe people will see the bright side of it.

[watchesthesea]

[Kairi smiled slightly, she didn't seem to mind this whole thing.]

It was for a good cause, right

[moonbeams]

Mm! It is! And even if the dates don't turn into true love, at least you've made a new friend, right?
