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!

Who... who is Ruri...

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

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.

... 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.]]

Don't be shy, I'm sure you guys will hit it off!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Sure... I'm sure we will.

I'm going to head out and... umm... do some chores. Thanks.

You'd better try to sound more excited about it than that when you meet Ruri. She'll think you don't want to go with her! But yeah, see you later.
