perfectmatch | week two

Yi Sang and Shoko are taken to the Pompompurin Cafe. It's cute. It's colorful. It's full of love.

Highlights

The curry is phenomenal.
They will be gifted a Pompompurin plush at the end of the date.
The maids will take a picture with Yi Sang.

Yi Sang and Rom are taken to an ice cream parlor. A little old fashioned chic mixed with modern day decor, this is perfect place to get to know each other more.

Highlights

The ice cream is made from organic cream mixed with house made ingredients.
There are other things like waffles and hot chocolate on the menu.
It is haunted.

Yi Sang and Aventurine are taken to a mall. It's oddly American, despite the aesthetic of the round so far. Weird.

Highlights

There is a Pottery Barn, yeah.
There's plenty of food stalls as well.
The fluorescent lighting is out of this world.

Yi Sang and Verso are taken to a mini golf course. It's monster themed. Let's do the mash! The monster mash!

Highlights

There is a bar.
An open bar.
Please get Yi Sang drunk.

Luka and Maya are taken to the aquarium. It's a massive place, filled with all sorts of creatures you can imagine. There's even a mermaid exhibit! Are... are those actual mermaids?

Highlights

Those are actual mermaids.
There is a giant octopus that takes up most of an exhibit.
There's a seafood restaurant!

Luka and Yi Sang are taken to a nail salon. It's time for a manicure! A pedicure! A foot massage. Oh, wait, no, don't make it weird, Yi Sang.

Highlights

This place is lush.
Like cucumber sandwiches and spa water type lush.
The place is booked out especially for these two — there are no other guests.

Luka and Serpilia are taken to a Taco Bell. Yeah.

Highlights

The Mexican Pizza is back on the menu! Never to be taken off again.
They have those chicken nuggets that are pretty popular too. And nacho fries!
And alcohol.

Luka and Yingying are woken up early one morning to go see a sunrise. It's supposed to be romantic, and sweet, and yes, aura farming as fuck.

Highlights

It really is early in the morning.
The camera crews will be really obvious this time around.
But it's still very picturesque.

Luka and Poppy are taken to a planetarium. Large space views, deep soothing narration, comfy recliners — it's everything you could want from a planetarium.

Highlights

The allow snacks inside. Go get some refreshments!
The food stand has plenty of green candy.
There might be some errors(?) in the presentation, showing things that aren't just in the Milky Way.

Nico and Aventurine are taken Go-Kart Racing. Two elegant guys like them, of course the production wanted to see them fumble. But they can make it work, right?

Highlights

There is a snack bar with pizza and burgers.
You will be yelled at if you don't drive properly.
There are.......... kids.

Nico and Shoko are taken to pick up trash at the beach. They will be put in volunteer vests, given trash bags and pick up sticks, and sent along their way.

Highlights

This is NOT a punishment. This is a volunteer opportunity.
There will be sandwiches and juice boxes given out afterwards.
You could literally just bail and walk the boardwalk tho.

Nico and Odile are taken to a painting class. The teacher is a sweet old man who has been painting for years and years and years. The other students vary in ages. Everything is rather quaint.

Highlights

There's no alcohol allowed in the class.
Some of the other students are pretty chatty.
But production will let Nico and Odile get a meal nearby after if they're hungry

Verso and Aventurine are taken to the casino. It's a high end, high stakes kind of casino which is membership exclusive. Thankfully, production got them an in and they're able to enter.

Highlights

It's black tie exclusive, better dress up!
They'll be given chips worth 5,000 credits / chroma to start.
Remember: The House always wins.

[ a spa date calls for a rather simple outfit, though for luka this means he's clad in complete white rather than black. he'll start to walk in with a natural confidence of something he's done countless before. ]

Do you think they're trying to tell you something?

[ what's a taco bell. luka has no idea and all the crew would tell him was that it was a casual date, so he shows up dressed in this. which isn't a bad fit all things considered, but too bad he's a bad fit himself for a taco bell. in so many ways. ]

...this will be a novel experience. [ smile. ]

[ they're not a match, but they're aesthetic as fuck. and isn't that what truly matters? that seems to be what luka has in mind when he shows up dressed like this at way too early in the morning, perfectly put together as always.

he'll offer her his arm as he's done in the past. ]

Isn't this fitting?

[ well this sure is. yeah.

luka stares at where they've been dropped off, expression blank. his fit also as i've doomed myself to this hell with him. ]

Was this your idea?

[ first things first, fit, but instead of the black breaking up the white, it's a baby blue. luka is also accessorized up with a few rings on his fingers and a pair of expensive looking sunglasses on his head. he'll take maya's hand within his own as soon as the crew drops them off (no, he doesn't ask if he can because he's luka). ]

What do you think? [ while his expression is one of this typical neutral ones, if you listen closely... there might be a note of excitement? ]

Verso and Luka are taken on a ferris wheel date. It's late at night and quite idyllic.

Highlights

There is a fair surrounding the ferris wheel, so please enjoy it.
The boardwalk is super pretty as well.
People WILL assume these two are on a romantic date.

[Mission objective: get Yi Sang drunk.

That is, if he can pull his attention away from this place's... everything. He's seen a lot of strange things in his time, but nothing quite compares to the kitschy, lurid brightness of this mini golf course.

Verso squints in the black light. Via the nature of it, the streak of white in his own hair glows, too, hilariously.]

...Spooky.

Verso and Maya are taken go-kart racing. This is the second go-kart date the production has sent people on. Is this a fetish?

Highlights

There is alcohol. Please drink and drive.
There is also a little arcade room nearby, with an air hockey table included.
If you win first place, you get a whole pizza.

Verso and Messmer are taken to a grocery store. Yep!

Highlights

It's one of those nice upscale ones, at least.
There's a hot and cold food bar as well.
Free samples!!

Verso and Nico are taken to karaoke. They'll be given a private room where they can order snacks and drinks and the selection features all music known to man. And then some!

Highlights

The menu highlight is melon cream soda.
There is a really loud couple in the room next door.
The place is criminally understaffed.

Verso and Odile are taken to a quiet bar. Soft mood lighting, low conversation, no interruptions. It's really nice, actually.

Highlights

The staff prides itself on being a place for conversation and drinks. Loud noises are not tolerated.
They don't really serve food but there's some snacks on offer.
The music is soft jazz.

Verso and Ringo are taken to an arcade bar. There are drinks. There are games. There are tickets to be won!

Highlights

Yes, the barcade does in fact give prizes out to winners.
The prizes can be really niche, rare, and specific to your character.
There is pizza, Ringo.
