Happy Valentione's Day, everyone! Your character is now seated across from another, and the table is set for a romantic dinner! Or, you know, a not-so-romantic dinner. (They can be seated side-by-side, too, if you're into that.) Prompts are enclosed.

1. THE DATE. No frills — actually, all the frills. You're seated for a classy romantic dinner for two, and it's time to get to know each other better. Optional love potion (or aphro, we don't judge): the food might be spiked with a little something, and your partner's looking more and more attractive by the minute...

2. THE ASSASSINATION. One of your characters has accepted a contract killing — the other is their target. Are you aiming to discreetly slip some poison into their drink, or are you just gonna whip out that magitek blunderbuss of yours when your dinner partner is least expecting it?

3. THE NEGOTIATION. It's a business meeting, and one of you has something that the other wants. Time to talk it out and see if you can't work out a compromise... or put a better offer on the table.

4. THE TREAT. Nothing romantic, but no funny business, either. You're just friends out to have a good time. Maybe you can order that smoked raptor he really likes, or ask for some haddock dip just for her. Try not to destroy the restaurant when you inevitably argue over the check!

5. THE WILDCARD. Do whatever you want, man, it's not like decommendations are a thing.

As always, post your characters and list your preferences! Use RNG to determine your fate, or choose your own! Just finish your meal before it gets cold, okay?

[ serves up sin for Ser Francel this year, the end ]

[the ward's thirteenth will have to get his tassets resized at this rate...]

[ there will be an intense sparring session later, never fear! ]

[ahem.]

[ sin and all the frills for Janlenoux's Ever and Always brother, needless to say! ]

[ser adelphel is no longer under the effects of battle fever...!]

[ Halone was merciful this day ]

(OTA - Up for shipping or gen, it's all good!)

[ Why the hells did she agree to this. That one time has been just that. One time!!! One bloody time— and then they were?? Seeing each other??? How. She's not going to call this dating because it absolutely isn't, regardless of how good looking he ends up being- which is a lot. They're just- friends with benefits who like poking at each other. With body parts. Sometimes.

And she's frustrated just thinking about it.

Which might be why she's on her fifth main course meal- a luscious steak, her favourite, trying to ignore any looks cast towards her. ]

Do I want to know how you're affording this?

[ Did he rob some poor business' coffers? ]

[There is definitely a look being cast at her from Nero's spot across the table. He is unamused... but mostly unamused with himself for having put himself in this wallet-emptying position in the first place. She was gorgeous and vivacious and exciting and also ravenous. That last bit, he'd thought it had only applied to other appetites...]

I know I certainly want to know how I'm affording this.

[She is eating so much food. His Ironworks salary can only go so far. But food cannot be unordered and uneaten, so he jabs resignedly at the grilled fish on his plate and sighs.]

But perhaps I should have been forewarned of your love for meat.

[He punctuates the statement with a quick lift of his eyebrows.]

Stop complaining, I can pay for what I eat.

[ She can't help herself, and she eats when she's feeling nervous, anxious or horny. Possibly all three. With a narrowed-eye look shot in his direction, she gulps down her final helping with her drink, and grabs a napkin to wipe her mouth.

Peeking over it with her ears flicking, she stares quite pointedly at the Engineer who... somehow, managed to get her back again... and again. He wasn't as unpleasant as he usually was, but-

Burp. At least this one goes into her napkin, before she sighs and grabs a mint off the table to pop into her mouth for a palette cleanse. Thank goodness for a healthy metabolism. As she lowers the napkin, the smile on her face is practically angelic. ]

You're sweet, aren't you?

[ Her ears wiggle. ]

Which means... you're going to have an even more delicious dessert prepared. And I'm not going to say no!

[ And it had better not be a treat in his pants alone or she'll break him. But, she does get up and move across the side of their table and moves to wrap an arm around his shoulder, leaning in to whisper in his ear- ]

If you're not going to finish that, I'll take it, so you'd best not leave me waiting, aye?

[ Nero, your competition is your meal. ]

(OTA, for either shipping or gen! Comes in Warrior of Light or Regular Adventurer With Echo varieties.)

"Daaakkii~" Bakura greeted cheerfully with a small wave and huge grin. He'd gotten his friend's message for the dinner invite, but hadn't thought a thing of the date set for it, just that it sounded like a fun idea. After all, he and Dakki were really good friends, and without his fanclub around to make his life difficult, he hadn't paid attention at all to the valentines day everything going on around.

He had taken some care to actually dress up a bit, since it was a bit of a fancy restaurant she had picked. His usual frumpy sweater and jeans had been swapped for a nice (if a little oversized for his light frame) button down and slacks, and he had taken a bit more effort to get his hair... not to be a giant poofy mess on top. (The button down instead of sweater had helped a little there.) So he didn't stand out too badly in the restaurant.

The idea had come together rather quickly, once the apparent goals of the walkabout had been worked out and Dakki had become familiar with the locale they'd been deposited in. There had been this nice restaurant that everyone said had great food, and everyone was blending in without issue, and she'd been thinking about making a bold move. It had been so nice having Bakura as a roommate, and they got along so well, and she liked him quite a lot... so why not ask him on a date? Even if she didn't quite manage to ask that in so many words, he did still agree to come to dinner, and she was sure that things would work themselves out.

Keen to do things properly, she had arrived before him and was already seated at a table, which the waitstaff happily showed him to. "There you are! I'm so glad you could make it! It looks like we've both dressed up." She had traded out her usual armor and bodysuit for a short-sleeved blouse and a nice pair of slacks. That counted as dressing up, in her estimation. At least a bit.

"Un!" Bakura nodded, sitting down with a huge grin. "Even if it's not a super formal sort of place, you still need to look like you're supposed to be there, right?"

"Right, of course! And we are definitely supposed to be here." She says it with a giggle and a grin. Ah, traveler jokes. "It's not too formal, but I've heard that the food is really good! I thought you might enjoy checking it out with me."

"Un!" Bakura nodded again. "Especially if it's not a style either of us knows how to cook yet!" he grinned. "Might be a good reason to go looking for cookbooks later too, right?"

"That's the idea! And maybe we'll get some ideas for new things to try ourselves?" It had been so fun practicing cooking with Bakura. At least when there was the downtime to do so.

Since they've been settled for at least a few seconds, a server comes over, bringing both glasses of water and menus. "Oh, thank you!" Aah, and now to pick something...

"We can add another shelf next to the games for cookbooks from everywhere we've been too! Add to the souvenir collection~" Bakura grinned before starting to look though the menu.

"That's a great idea! Aah, this is the first chance we've had to get things like that in a while, hasn't it?" She opens the menu, skims it idly... but there's an unfinished thought in her queue that she ought to finish up with, first. "It's the first chance we've had to do this, too, isn't it?"

"Eh?" Bakura blinked, looking up again before looking thoughtful. "Aaa, it is, isn't it!" he laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Most everything else has been cafeterias or street vendors and the like, hasn't it? Closest was that one up in the skiing resort-- aah, but you weren't on that one, so that doesn't really count, does it?"

"It has, it has! And we kept ending up on opposite sides, too..." She tips her menu inwards, giving a little bit of a wistful sigh. "It's nice to spend more time together than just between jaunts. Really nice..." Is this how you express this sort of thing? All she knows how to do is be honest... so there is some honesty.

"Un! A lot nicer to have your friends as your teammates when going out on things like this!" Bakura agreed. "All that splitting up... and being split up even if you wind up on the same sides, depending on where you land," he all but sighed, shaking his head. "Wonder if there's a sign up sheet we're just missing, something to let the DM know we want to be in the same game," he mused idly.
