[ 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 Gladio Amicia. 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.
[ Have a very reluctant text message, Viktor. While he isn't exactly interested in dating... especially another guy, he's fine with... hanging out? ]
Hey. This is Gladio Amicia. We've apparently been paired together for some event for Valentine's Day.
[ ...That looks as stupid as it sounded in his head. Sigh. ]
Anyway, I'm not looking for anything romantic, but nothing wrong with meeting someone new and getting free refreshments out of it. Of course, if you've got plans, don't feel like this is something you have to do, alright?
[It's February 14th! Early enough before the blind dates have started, Anya was busy.
At the studio, Viktor's gift will be left by his office. He'll find a little pouch filled with heart-shaped macarons, about 6 or 7. There's a neat little card written in Anya's neat and short hand-writing:]
Happy Valentine's Day! Please know that I adore you too.
- Anya ♡
[The macarons have their own little messages instead of the classic Sweetheart Conversations, customized based on whoever Anya's giving them to. This batch reads:]
[...prompto had gotten busy the past couple of days, making it thus a bit difficult for him to print out the photograph he had taken and come around to hand it over to viktor. instead, he makes some time on his sunday morning, and heads on over to viktor's dance studio.]
[he's not sure if they open on sundays, and perhaps he should have checked...? but, nonetheless, he tries the door, peering inside through the glass...]
[that's not at all a concerning message to get first thing in morning, right? even though all it says is "help" in Russian
no way
except it's followed up with another message that is still completely in Russian
(and to explain why she's not using a patronymic for viktor even though that's technically how you formally address someone in Russian, we're going with the fact that Anya is perpetually Way Too Forward - though at least she's not using a full diminutive?)]
( Strange. Haven't people been talking about getting these? You'll find a delivery from Retrospec at your home, or at some place you often frequent. Thank you, says Retrospec. For all you do.
Inside the box there is a single feline plushie. Tied around its neck is a bit of ribbon with a note: ♥ From Yuri's Angels. There is nothing else. The box from Retrospec, the plush kitty, and that note.
Congratulations. You are the lucky mistaken recipient of a Yuri's Angel Cat Plush. What a wonderful day this must be!!! )
[All for the sake of bingo, Viktor is going to be a getting a call from an unknown number. The area code seems to denote that it's from someone/somewhere in the city, at least.
[Mohammed arrives at the dance studio - sorry Dance!!!! Studio - that Saturday in the early afternoon. At the front desk, he mentions that he's a friend of Victor's, and he's expected today. The receptionist nods, turns to the phone, and calls Viktor that he has a guest at the front, name is Mohammed Hefaz.]
"Only if you want. Not necessary at all, as I'm not sure how many people are privy to your status as an investigator. If you'd rather I bring you a copy of our findings afterwards, I'd be glad to. But it would be impolite of me to not at least extend the invitation."
