Case 51 - Turnabout Match

[little_thief]

[Phone; filtered from drones]

Okay, everyone!  I've run all of the applicants through my sophisticated date-matching process, and I am pleased to announce that your matches are ready!  You've got over a week to meet each other and talk about your prom plans, so here's the list of happy couples:

Ciaphas Cain and Rorolina Frixell!
Ranma Saotome and Natsumi Hinata!
Aaron Taylor and Ruri Hoshino!

...And that's it!  Thanks for using Kay's Dating Service!

[Phone; filtered to Flay Gunnar and Calleo Crowe immediately after the above call]

Hey, you two!  I didn't want to announce this one in front of the whole town, 'cause I know this kind of match-up can be kind of sensitive.  But you guys are the last couple.  Flay Gunnar and Calleo Crowe.  Make sure you get to know each other, and I'll expect to see you both at the dance next weekend!

[Guess who's got two thumbs and is totally dumbfounded that Kay found a match for him? THIS GUY!]

O-Oh... Ah, I guess I'll have to call him? I never met him. What's he like?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he said he swings both ways, so I figured that counts. He seems like a pretty nice guy! I think he's one of those 'hero of justice' types. So... maybe a superhero? Or a cop, I guess. That'd be a pretty fair bet.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Superhero? Cop?]

Ah.

Is he... how old is he?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, I forgot to ask. In his 20s, maybe?

[instaboobs]

...you actually found someone?!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yup! Told you I would!

[instaboobs]

...uh...

S'it too late to back outta this?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You'll have to take that up with your date.

[Over SHana's phone all you can hear is giggling. All of it.]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

What? I thought I did pretty good!

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I'm just imagining Aaron on a date. You did fine.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

He really needs to loosen up. I hope he has a good time at the dance.

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

You really set up a dating service for this?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yup! I think things went really well!

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

...How can you say it went well if the dates haven't even happened yet?

[roadroller]

You got Ruri-chan a date!? Yes!! ♪

[So she really did want to go... and now Rin doesn't have to do it herself!]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Of course! We leave no customer unsatisfied!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Who... who is Ruri...

And why did you have to announce that to the entire town?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

She works at the cosplay cafe with me. She's nice, I think you guys will get along!

And I figured it'd be easier than making like eight phone calls separately. Besides, it's not like it'll be a secret who you're taking once you're actually at prom anyway, so it's not a big deal.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

... Yeah... just....

[[She's right. He just didn't want to be outed as having to use a dating services... though she kinda ambushed him on it.]]

[piealchemist.livejournal.com]

_{[Ohhhh she forgot about this.]}

Ah! Um... I'm really sorry, but it turns out, I ended up being asked by someone! _{I should have called back, shouldn't I...?}

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You should probably give Mr. Cain a call and let him know so he can find a new date.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

All right, Kay!

Now, uh....who are these guys?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Beats me! I only really know Aaron and Ruri.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

....You only know Aaron and Ruri...huh? So you've never met the others before...
