[Located in Aldrect]
It was unusual for an Artificial Personal Lover, an APL, to be activated significantly ahead of time. Under normal circumstances, if they passed all the tests necessary prior to activation, they weren't activated until their User had been selected. They then spent time inputting any information that was deemed necessary, as well as choosing what sort of styles suited their own tastes, getting any minor issues fixed, and off they went. The first two, Alpha and Beta (Alba), were activated early for extra testing, since they were the first two, but since then, it was deemed unnecessary to spend several days activated prior to delivery.
When she was suddenly activated, Dee presumed that a User had been chosen for her. However, she was soon told otherwise. Instead, she'd been chosen to participate in a short experiment, an extra test. The Love Me Corporation, LMC, was interested in seeing how an APL would handle a social situation without having an assigned User. However, initially, Dee declined the proposal. Instead of just accepting it because they created her, she took the chance and made a deal with them. In exchange for her participation, they owed her.
As the persons responsible for the Valentine's festivities, it was easy for the LMC staff to establish her was one of their blind date candidates and match her up with someone. She styled her hair, choosing a dark brunette shade, and it fell to a medium length in waves. Then came her outfit, consisting of nice, tight fitting jeans, heels, a cute white under shirt, and a more formal coat, with the addition of hoop earrings and matching hand bag, acceptable as either date wear or business casual wear, and she was ready. They handed over a reasonable amount of funds and a mobile phone, too, and sent her on her way.
Reaching the fountain in Aldrect, the meeting spot that had been arranged for her date, she began to search for her partner, based on his description. Had she arrived too early or were they already here?
Her only out of the ordinary feature here were pink irises, not typically a natural eye color, which also made it her most identifying feature. She could pass it on as wearing color contacts, if it came into question, although that wasn't the case.
