skate 02 | video; user: katsuki

[Abruptly, there's the sound of blades cutting through ice coming from the communicators as the figure skater on screen does a quick lap around what appears to be an ice rink. Then, there's a shift in his center of gravity before he's jumping, landing a triple axel with ease. The air of grace disappears as soon as the figure skater catches sight of the camera pointed at him.]

Viktor! [Some might recognize Yuuri's voice before he glides closer, a look of dismay on his face.] You said you weren't recording yet!

Ah, but Yuuri! You were skating so wonderfully, I couldn't resist! [Viktor doesn't sound apologetic, but as the image shifts, he comes on screen, smiling at the camera and holding up his free hand to wave.] Hello, friends of the Eluvio! Yuuri and I wanted to extend you a formal invitation to Eluvio's skating rink, the Ice Palace.

[Yuuri, apparently having resigned himself to delivering the message this way, just sighs with exasperation as he reaches Viktor at the side of the rink.] Um, we're going to be hosting a short exhibition show on Valentine's Day, too. Viktor thought it'd be a good idea, since a lot of people onboard haven't seen figure skating before. And there's going to be food...? [He trails off, looking at Viktor for confirmation.]

[Viktor nods to confirm, flashing another smile.] Horderves and shaved ice. No chocolates! You'll have to make or bring your own. [This last part said with a wink as he brings his finger up to rest against his lips.]

[Viktor's comment makes Yuuri pause.] Actually, about the chocolates, has anyone managed to find a store that sells chocolate molds? I've been looking all over the Shopping Centre for them. [Then, he remembers why they're making the video in the first place, and he blushes as he steers himself back on track.] A-anyway, please come join us for the exhibition! You're welcome to come earlier and see the rink for yourself before then, too.

[With that, he'll give a shallow, polite sort of bow before reaching over to turn the camera off.]


(ooc: As a note, I'll be posting an open valentines chocolate-making workshop log in a few days, and everyone is welcome to jump in, whether you tag this post or not!)

It's a wonderful experience! In person, by the ice, it's very different from watching over the television or a live stream. Like Yuuri says, dates are optional! Much like chocolates, they will not be provided or expected at the doors.

I thought I might check since Valentine's Day was mentioned. Hopefully I can find some chocolate to bring, though. I'd just really like to see the show.

I know Yuuri is running a chocolate making group, if you're interested. Otherwise we'll be looking forward to having you by!

I don't really have any experience, so if they wouldn't mind a newbie trying to learn while she helps....

I'm sure he'd love to have you try, too! I think it's his first time, so you'll be in good company.

That's good to know. Might be a little less embarrassing on my end in that case.

Yes! Learning together with others creates a certain sense of community. I think he's planning on doing this in about two days... on the 10th! Plenty of time before the holiday itself arrives.

Oh good. Give me something interesting to look forward to. I might as well use this time here to learn new skills, right?

Thank you for the offer. And the show in advance!
genice: (wink | we're gonna get good!)

That's the mentality! It's one more of us seem to share than not.

You're welcome. I look forward to seeing you there!
