You're all getting dates even if it kills him.
Who: The Barkeep and you!
What: Mordecai Benmont Jiminy, shipper extraordinaire, invites younger members of the group (and those who need dating advice) and gives them pointers for their potential dates. Then, on Valentine's Day, he comes across some of the results and gets Ideas.
When 12th and February 14th. There is also an open prompt after Valentine's Day.
Where House A-08 and By some of the Valentine flyers the Moogles put up
Warnings: None for now. Threadjacking is encouraged!
A. House A-08, February 12th
[Two days. Two days until one of the most wonderful times of the year. The day where love is in the air, when young people reach out to others in search for that special someone. The day that turns Mr. Jiminy into a softy just by watching all the adorable couples walk hand-in-hand in the streets. The only way this would be better was if those couples included the people he knows. The town on Mars was a small place with few young adults, but Aqures Ixen had so many single people; they all needed to be paired up! Like, everyone.
That is why, on the 12th, he invites Ramza, K'Pandolu, and the majority of the Heroes their age to his house to discuss dating. From what he saw, they needed the advice.
Snacks and tea are provided, and in the center of the room is a small table with two chairs on opposite corners. A plain vase with a single rose rests on it. This is clearly for demonstration purposes.]
Alright, then! [He stands up straight, arms folded behind his back, and paces across the living room as he addresses everyone seated on the couches and chairs. He did some more serious rearranging this morning, expected a good audience.] Now that we're all here, it's time I get started with the basics.
First off! [He swivels on his heel and shoots a finger up.] Askin' out someone you're interested in! Best thing to do is to ask 'em somewhere private without pressurin' them into it. Makin' your date uncomfortable is a sure way to cause trouble, and we don't want none of that. Break the question gently, don't get mad if they refuse, and Valentine's is the best time to do this. Most folks are expected you kids to go lookin' for a partner, so no one's gonna bat an eyelash at you. Take the opportunity!
Next is the actual date. Don't be a slob, dress nicely, and give a gift that you know your date's gonna like! Don't be thinkin' that every woman likes flowers and chocolates, 'cause that's the sign of someone who's got problems with understandin' other people. Choose a place where you can do more than just sit around all romantic-like. Last thing you want is to be bored on Valentines!
[He stops and watches the group. Those were some good basics to start out with.]
I'm openin' the floor to questions.
B. By the Flyers, early February 14th
[He was walking back from picking up groceries (and some nice clothes for Ramza, in case the young man has plans for today). He thought stopping by the Observatory before heading to work would be nice. No matter what he was doing, the flyers with the Moogles' matchmaking results grab his attention.
Like, all of his attention.
Look at all those matches. Look at those beautiful, beautiful pairings. He's getting so much inspiration for his writing.
It's enough to twirl his mustache in excitement as he pours over the lists.]
((OOC: If you're alright with the Barkeep including your character in his terrible fanfiction, reply to his Permission post here.))
C. After Valentine's Day, House A-08
[The Barkeep has mentioned to those taking his crash course in dating that he would like to hear how their dates went, and today, he leaves the door to his house open to visitors. While not busy doing housework, he sits in his room, busy writing stories shipping various Heroes of Light together. For research. To see how things would work.
He's not going to let anyone know about those.]

[It would only make things fair. Everyone may perceive themselves as human, but some of them had strange abilities that Mordecai wouldn't say was typical of humans in his universe. And it would give Sparks Nevada a major ego boost.]
