[ Been a while since Rin herself has made a call, but in all honesty why would she when she can just ask (read: bully) others into speaking for her. That way she doesn't have to deal with a bunch of no-names hassling her for the answers of every little question, but today? Today should be a day for the people of Haven to celebrate and if not, well she tried and therefore no one could say she didn't. ]

Hey, so you remember Jennifer's call about the date nearly a week ago? She said it was February 8th then so you know that today is February 14th, which you know is a holiday in some countries in the world a lot of us are somewhat familiar with. How it's celebrated really isn't all that important, but it's a holiday designated for love--[ The word is spoken in the only form a tsundere can say it in. ]--so I was honestly expecting this thing here to buzz with a billion love confessions.

[ But enough about her poor love life. ]

As a sign of gratitude for reminding you of the holiday, I'd like to hear your opinions on Miss Beth Yao. A number of you have met her and have been told things about her, haven't you? Consider me curious as to your opinions on her. [ A rare, once in a lifetime opportunity for Rin to give a damn about someone's opinion. Grasp it while you can. ] Surely you have to have something in mind after all we've gone through, right? Well, let's hear it. I don't really have all day to sit around waiting on this stupid phone to entertain me, so be prompt with your replies.

[ For those who do know her, a new scar can be seen creeping out from her turtleneck sweater along her neck. She's done her best to cover it up by wearing this outfit of choice, but maybe she underestimates the phone's camera or just doesn't seem to care about it. ]

[ Ange doesn't really know much at all about Beth Yao and it doesn't interest her a great deal either - enough to casually listen when other people have something to say about it, but not enough to bring it up herself, basically. So instead she focuses on the first part of the broadcast, since she actually didn't even think of it herself. ]

Do you even realise what a pain you're causing us here? Soon everyone will start acting all lovey dovey. [ Not that she sounds terribly bothered all the same. But still. ]

[gandere]

Yeah, that would be the reason behind why I reminded everyone. [ Really, she's disappoint in her twin-tailed heroine for not following along. ] Don't you think after everything that they could use a little bit of lovey dovey crap to mix things up?

Well, it's none of my business really what people do with the information. I only felt obligated to bring it up.

[catjokes]

[February 14th means only one thing.

Chocolate.

And Len is a very willing girl and even if she is a cat, chocolate won't kill her so there's one real good option for you here, Rin. Give this very eager looking young child some chocolate.]

[gandere]

What's with that look in your eyes? [ Last Order is the one with the candy, not Rin herself. ] Staring at me as if I've got something delicious to give you.

I don't. I don't have anything. [ Is she lying? Who knoooows. ]

[persuadebyforce]

Oi! What the hell do you think you're doing?! Don't go spreading that sort of thing around! Someone celebrating that sort of holiday in a place like this would just ruin the atmosphere and more importantly, my mood!

[gandere]

Oh no, I should have been more considerate of your mood. [ Pause. ]

What's your name?

[bitetodeath]

What did you do?

[ You know he's observant enough to notice that scar, Rin. ]

video ; private

[gandere]

I told everyone it was Valentine's Day. Lean back and enjoy the hilarious results then thank me later.

[ Intentionally coy. ]

With the lack of chocolate sources around here most people will only become more insufferable knowing the date.

Misaka supposes she could congratulate you if that was one of your secret goals behind this announcement, but first she wants barbecued swan.

[Look, WORST has a sneaky way of doing a "which Rin is this?" test. Rin will never know.]

[gandere]

[ Unfortunately she's spent two years in another world and is wary enough of speaking with strangers. ]

Do I really look like a person who wants to make others suffer? That's sort of a rude thing to accuse me of right away, don't you think?

Barbecued swan though... not a bad choice, not a bad choice at all.

[theshiningone]

Now that you mention it, I wonder how many couples we even have here. Dating in a place like this would be tough, but not impossible.

[gandere]

I'm sure there's plenty of couples here! [ Not that she's going to talk about That Subject with anyone. ] If not, this is a good day to designate some.

Quick--think of people we should pair up!

[video]

[fearguard]

I didn't know it was a holiday, actually. Are there others that should have been observed in the past... eighty odd days?

[gandere]

Oh likely, but who cares about what's in the past? It isn't as if we can turn back time in order to celebrate something that's already passed. Instead, we should focus our priorities on celebrating the good times to come.

[ That's almost too positive for her. ] Ugh--I'm starting to sound sentimental.

[sylvanwood]

I'm afraid I don't know much of anything about Beth... Miss Yao? I'm not sure what I should call her. Ah, but anyways, I'm sorry, since I don't have anything to say about that.

[ She bows her head slightly in apology, but then brightens right back up. ]

But I am curious about that first part. It's a holiday for love? I've never heard of anything like that, though that's very sweet. What sorts of things do you do for this holiday?

[gandere]

[ That's all right. Rin's hardly phased by the fact no one really knows much about her, especially someone who is fairly new to this world. She gets a pass for now. ]

It depends on where it's celebrated. In my home country, it's celebrated differently than where I ended up living the past couple years. Would you like to hear one or both?

video!

[3d2y]

What? It's a holiday?? WHY ISN'T ANYONE HAVING A PARTY? [ he is genuinely outraged by this. parties are serious business.

otherwise, he has no idea what valentines' day is. ]

[gandere]

[ Good question. ] Why not host one yourself?

[ She knows nothing about how dangerous this comment may be. No, all she sees is an enthusiastic guy screaming about a party. ]

[thunder_enforcer]

Valentine's Day...

[ What a place and time to be spending that holiday. ]

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I have nothing to offer regarding your request.

[gandere]

[ It is a strange place, but people tend to enjoy holidays. Not that she will herself as being an Ice Queen is hard enough work as is. ]

That's all right. I just thought I should bring it up in case of someone else wanting to celebrate.

Are you thinking about it yourself?

video;

[protectrice]

A holiday... about love. [Oh, that sounds really nice...] So we should be happy today, right?

[A pause.] I don't know a lot about Beth though... Caroline talked about her.

[gandere]

That's right. Be happy and... uh, I don't know if talking about Caroline can make anyone happy. Are you some kind of joy kill?

[ She's teasing judging by the smile on her face. ]

Did you have a lengthy talk with Caroline about her?

video;

[vorpalstrike]

[...you know, he has a feeling that he's going to need to dig for information at some point. The fact that he at least knows what date today is still a sort of reminder of someone that's back home and not even near him at the moment.

He must be getting homesick to even think of this. Still, this girl looks knowledgeable, so might as well, right?]

Are people even going to prioritize on Valentine things with the lack of resources?

[Because he needed a starter, and that's what she provided.]

[gandere]

[ Coming to Rin Tohsaka for knowledge may be a good thing... provided he can deal with the onslaught of verbal abuse that comes with it. ]

Probably? Have you forgotten that people are desperate to cling to any little comfort they can get of home?

[ Thoughtful pause. ] Or maybe you haven't been away from your home long enough to understand. You look new--you're new, aren't you?

[intendance]

A holiday about love, huh...? It's a shame Inigo isn't here.

[Morgan, that makes it sound like he's your secret love when that's not the case at all.]

Anyyyway, it sounds to me like she's the sort of person in those heroic stories and tales who is on the wrong side because of pure ignorance! Is that about right?

[gandere]

[ Inigo? What a weird name. ]

Who's that?

... Wait, forget I asked seeing as you're one of the very few people who want to talk about this other person. That's the impression I have, but a number of people are willing to tell me I'm wrong.

Well, I'm never wrong so they'll just have to accept that.

Action

[magus_knight]

[Not long after Rin shuts her phone, a pair of arms gently wrap around her waist from behind and a head rest against her back. From the placement, it's easy to tell the person is shorter than Rin. And if that doesn't give away the identity, the voice would.]

...don't hit me. I'll let go in a moment.

[gandere]

[ It's a good thing she already cut the call by this point or else everyone in Haven would be treated to her red face. ]

Harumph... It's fine.

[ But did she really have to grab her from behind? Of all the places to leave her a bit unnerved! ]

action;

[swordedpast]

[ It's late when Archer appears. It's late, because he's gone all the way to Haven North and come back.

But when he slips back into the apartment, he has a small red tinfoil box in one hand. ]

[gandere]

You were out late.

[ After she invited a guest over for dinner and everything. ] Why?

[video] my internet went out when I went to tag into this yesterday I was so mad

[ippotsuko]

I wouldn't complain about people not wasting their time on stupid holidays.

LMAO good job internet....???

[gandere]

What else would I complain about?

[ Please, PLEASE give her a list as she can use a million more things to senselessly bitch about. ]

video

[rebind]

...Who even has time for something like love around here.

[Like really Haven is whackadoodle and crazy every other week. Also he's seventeen and also a fellow tsundere and love psh whatever.]

[gandere]

I don't know, idiots?

[ A shrug. ] Fools make time for all sorts of things. When I first arrived here, they were trying to set up a soccer team and all sorts of games to be played.

[Video]

[sharpeyedshooter]

...Valentine's day, huh?

Then again, it isn't like there's much chocolate to give out here.

[...N-not that Shino would have planned to give out chocolates to anyone anyway. You know how it is.]

I don't know very much about Beth Yao either. Is there any chance you could share what you find out?

[gandere]

[ Does she? Is she in the presence of someone else who is as COLD HEARTED as Rin? ]

I'm sure if someone is persistent they could find or bake some. [ Which is to say if there's a will, there's a way. ] Could anyone tell the difference between imitation chocolate and the real thing when it's been months since they've had either?

Oh, but I'm directing the topic away from your question. Are you interested in investigating this matter or do you intend to use this information to kill her first chance you get? I'm only asking to make sure you'll be all right in the end. It'd be a bummer if I had someone's blood on my hands because they foolishly went after someone because I gave them an idea.

[video]

[tinyshock]

"Misaka has never heard of Beth Yao but Misaka has heard of Valentine's day and Misaka hasn't even been given obligation chocolate." Admits Misaka as Misaka laments the loveless life of a year young clone.

[Weh. Pity. Misery Etc.]

"Misaka does have something in mind after all she's been through, though, if you want to hear it," adds Misaka as Misaka moves the conversation away from both of your miserable attempts at romantic endeavours.

[You are being lumped in there whether you like it or not, girl.]

"Misaka thought she would at least get some chocolates for being cute..." sighs Misaka as Misaka fails to resist touching the topic again.

[It might be fun to note that Last Order is probably in the same room as Rin right now. Using her phone anyway to appease her own boredom.]

[gandere]

[ That's all right. Two can play at this game.

And if she's lucky? When Archer brings her chocolates later, she'll be dumping half of them into Last Order's lap. ]

Oh, is that so? Really, I thought you gathered up enough candy earlier. Didn't you manage to trick some people into giving you something or did you find someone younger than yourself here?

[evocalize]

[Valentine's Day, huh? He missed the memo on the actual date but he's not all that interested with either of those; rather, the subject of Beth Yao has his attention and he can see something along Rin's neck that doesn't look like it was there before.]

I don't have any opinions about her, but she was brought up before in a discussion and I didn't think that she should be killed. [Minato knows that he should ideally ask how Rin's been doing since they haven't talked in months, but it's a little awkward after dying twice- was this what it felt like knowing that someone knew you too well? He ends up glancing briefly at her neck instead before resuming eye contact.] What's your opinion, Tohsaka-san?

[gandere]

My opinion?

[ He's asking, so she should give it though she wonders why he's not bringing up her injury unlike the others. Maybe he doesn't see it? Success! ]

I don't think she should be killed either. In my experience, when someone tells an angry crowd that's been held captive that killing someone who is oblivious to their plight is the way to go about things, it's because that person is bitter. Those ghosts recently... don't you think they were upset too?

[feyecandy]

Miss Beth seemed... well, like people might already have said, but she seemed shocked and frightened to see me use magic. It clearly isn't something she is used to seeing. [He bites his lip thoughtfully.] I tried to give her a flower, and it... scared her.

[A small smile.] Oh, and thank you for the reminder, miss. I should probably come up with something to do for Valentines day.

[gandere]

People are often scared of the unknown. A number of people here will likely have the same reaction as Miss Beth, especially since in some worlds magic is uncommon.

[ Though she doesn't make any indication that she knows a thing about magic. ]

Have anyone special to share the day with or are you just going to treat a number of ladies to flowers?
