Setting the Date: Celeste Academy Post-Poll (Patreon)

 With a bouncy animation, the screen loads to show Carida's first heart search result, Natalesca.

Wow. She's. Handsome. How did she get those sparkles on photo? Is that an attunement?

"...wondrful (😂)" Oh my god? What a delight?

Carida stares at her profile for a moment longer. Natalesca is pretty uncommon as a name, but it feels like she's heard it before.

"Sohee? Have you heard of a Natalesca?"

She hears munching. Carida was just about ready to march in and protect her cookie dough.

"Natalesca? Like Natalesca von Luntesque? If yes we've rescued a sister or two of hers before."

"What?" What does that even mean?

"The Luntesque royal family gets into a lot of trouble. Especially the princesses, they don't sit still. I swear Estell has a thing for the princess we rescued but I reckon she doesn't have a chance."

There's no way that a princess was on Wondr. Right? Unless… no way.

"Why?"

"I just have a Natalesca on my heart search. Do you know her face?" Carida starts walking over to show her the profile pic.

"Oh nah, I just know the ones we rescued." Sohee takes a look anyway. "Wow, she's hot. Not my type though."

"Too sparkly?"

"Just a tad."

Carida swipes to the next result. 

Whitney. And she knows who this one is - Whitney Tharion, the rich girl who gets a small dorm building for herself and whoever she wants. What's she doing in the heart searches?

Sohee, still in Carida's personal space, looks at the profile. "Wow, a Tharion? Is she even going to respond to a message?"

"I dunno," Carida mumbled. Why did Wondr match her up with Whitney Tharion? She specifically wrote 'no plebs', which Carida definitely counts as.

Carida swipes again. Lindsey…? 

"Huh, someone I don't know. She's a cute bean." Sohee's already pulling up her phone to check out her MagicMotion channel.

Lindsey is really cute as well. 'Must be okay with filming', though? She's not really sure if she's ready to have a camera in her face while she fumbles around on a date with an internet celebrity.

Carida swipes through my profiles again. Who should she pick..?

…

...No, yeah, she's definitely going to see if Natalesca is a princess.

How many people can say they've gone on a date with a real life princess?
