[ainosenshi]

It's so clooooooooooooooooooose! [Don't mind the small fangirl freakout okay.]

Now, if you need some help, I'd gladly offer my expertise on the matter! My friends don't call me the Goddess of Love for nothing! [She taps the side of her nose.] I've got a knack for true love!

[No! You were super cool about it when you posted on the network as Venus, Minako! The magic was good! Unless...]

3/3

[ainosenshi]

[No. The magic was good. Everything was good. No one knew.

She offers him a smile.] Are you going to sing to me every time we talk?

[thneed]

[ What? :D Venus is a different person. ]

Hahaha. I don't, do I? Did I sing last time we talked? [ Thoughtful pause ] Maybe I did. I get a little addicted to the karaoke place.

Re: 3/3

[thneed]

I could sing at you every time if you wanted. I'll go ahead and prepare a collection of Minako songs.

[ainosenshi]

We were both at the karaoke place the last time we talked. Yeah, it's pretty much every time. Not that I mind...

[/chinhands]

[thneed]

As long as you don't mind!

Are you really an expert in love?

[ainosenshi]

I've had a lot of experience.

[thneed]

What do you mean by that? Matchmaking experience?

[ainosenshi]

You bet!

And my name means "child of love," so it's engrained in my bones. I have a knack for it!

[thneed]

Hmm. Well then!
Got any dating tips?

[ainosenshi]

What kind of tips are you looking for? You've got the cute part down, so that's one to check off.

[thneed]

[ cute? no i am super manly minako ]
Heh... Um. Just any, I guess. What's something good to always do on one?

[twinknife]

Now this is more like it! Girls getting all excited, making chocolates - guys getting antsy, looking forward to the big day... This is how it should be!

[ainosenshi]

Boys should be just as excited! Us girls expect chocolates too!

[twinknife]

What is this, equality between the sexes?? You girls already get white day, don't you?

[ainosenshi]

I'm not sure if they celebrate White Day here! I'm assuming things are based on American holidays!

[twinknife]

What are you, a returnee...? It's fine to just do it the normal way, isn't it? White day is an important part of a man's romantic life too, you know!

[ainosenshi]

Ugh, no, I've never lived in America! I'm assuming that they celebrate the American version here.

[/chinhands.] How much trouble do you go through for White Day?

[twinknife]

Oh well... y'know.... enough? Like it's gotta be... white... and it needs to be .. proportionate?

Anyway it's not about the trouble!! It's about the chance to answer their feelings! What guy wouldn't look forward to white day if he got chocolates from the girl he liked on Valentine's day?

[ainosenshi]

I never thought about it that way...

I always go into so much detail for Valentine's day that I forget about White day until it's literally the day of!

[geminated_man]

Say there was a girl I wanted to maybe hook up with one of me friends. Or if that fails, me. Exactly how does one go about that?

[Private]

[ainosenshi]

Does the girl in question have feelings for your friend?

[Private]

[geminated_man]

What if I say, "not yet"? But she will have done! ... In the future! Just... Not right yet.

[quarkylass]

But what if I want to get everyone a gift? Not that I have anybody I like in particular!

[ainosenshi]

There's nothing wrong with getting everyone a gift!

[sossery]

Who's Valentine?

[ainosenshi]

Valentine's day is celebrated after Valentine, or Valentinus as he was once called. It was said that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry! Also, he's said to have healed the daughter of his jailer, and before he was executed, he's said to have written "From your Valentine" to her as a farewell.

BUT, the day was first associated with love back in the Middle Ages when Chaucer was around, when the tradition of courtly love flourished! Several years later it had evolved into a day where lovers expressed their love to each other!

[sossery]

You know a lot about this.

lawl don't mind me

[ex_caping139]

...Though you are lovely, young one, you don't resemble Freyja. How did you come by such a title?

this is beautiful

[ainosenshi]

There's several goddesses of love, silly!

My friends call me it!

[notjohnsmith]

Don't remind me!

[ainosenshi]

Who's the special someone in your live, Kyon?

[notjohnsmith]

Who said there was someone?

[leadthebeats]

Oh, so that stupid holiday's coming up.

[ Yeah, she's just going to ruin things already, sorry Minako.. ]

[ainosenshi]

[Excuse you.]

It's not stupid! It's a chance for lovers to express their feelings on a special day!

[leadthebeats]

So you honestly want to get rejected.

[ She's joking for the most part, but her deadpan tone says otherwise. ]

[you_have_heart]

What is Valentine's Day?

[ainosenshi]

[Minako takes a huge breath and repeats what she said earlier to Merlin.]

Valentine's day is celebrated after Valentine, or Valentinus as he was once called. It was said that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry! Also, he's said to have healed the daughter of his jailer, and before he was executed, he's said to have written "From your Valentine" to her as a farewell.

[you_have_heart]

[Loki starts clapping slowly]

That was quite impressive.

[freezespirited]

Goddess of Love's a pretty big title to live up to.

[ainosenshi]

It's difficult, but I manage.
