[ On the morning of the 13th, one day before Valentine's Day, a sudden text message appears from a Souji Seta. Perhaps you've talked to him before. Perhaps you haven't. Perhaps you're wondering why the hell you are receiving a text at six in the morning but look, let's not sweat the small details. Pay attention to the larger ones, like the contents of this very important message: ]
Hello.
Through the tides of fate, you have been chosen to participate in this year's Valentine's Day event: Blind Dating. It is believed that no one should be alone for such an important day and as such, you have been paired up with another lonely soul.
Your match is with Chloe Bouchard. Please contact them to plan out your date for tomorrow.
However, if you and your partner do not know what to do, there will be a booth in Recollé Square for the sole purpose of assisting unsure or confused participants of the event. There will be date suggestions, booklets of pick-up lines, and refreshments.
[It was a day or two after the insane giant moth assaulted Tokyo and somehow the city had survived what qualified as a date between these two. And, at this point Chloe had to ask something, and it felt most appropriate to ask in private.]
Peridot, would I be out of line if I were to call you a mad scientist? I want to be sure.
[Because she could seriously imagine her screaming "It's ALIIIIIIIVE!"]
[Peridot would receive a link to this supposedly private entry on Rachel's on-line journal around the time things start going wrong.]

I ended up having another argument with Stone again. Same old, same old. But she gave me an idea for a Venomummy deck and now I just feel dirty. Then again, if I bring it out during the next competition she won't see it coming. Maybe abandoning my scruples can give me a strategic advantage...

Mid-month sometime.
Figured you two could like...bond over your crazy theories.
[Yes Eleanor is trying to give Peri friends because maybe it will make her less insane.]
