[Action - somewhere in town - locked to Lym]

[Max may have taught Bart to be a conscientious speedster, but that didn't mean he always succeeded in being one. He'd had his speed back for a little while now, but after over six months without it? He still can't get over the urge to just...run. To recklessly enjoy it without a care in the world.

Unfortunately for him, that isn't the smart idea or him or others, as running right into Lym and knocking the two of them into some daisies is about to remind him.]

1. [Around Town]

Hi there, you're looking nice today~

[Those flowers had gotten to Ako after all this time, and daisies and mints were on her mind. She was looking at you with an adoring look, blushing. She was fidgeting her fingers a little, hoping to steal a kiss from the person she had a puppy love crush on, and a soft smile was on her face.]


2. [Around Town - Black Muse Version]

[There's a tall figure wandering the town, giving people a look here and there. A small floating gem-like fairy was next to her, and she was silent for the time being. The little creature coughed and came up with the opening line.]

Cure Muse would like a kiss, dodo. For what reason I dunno dodo.


3. [Around Town - Yellow Muse Version]

[There's a sound behind you, as a soft footfall was heard.]

Excuse me... can I have a moment of your time?

[Behind you is a honest to god magical girl, her yellow costume shining in the sun. She seemed familiar or not, and her cheeks were pinked.]

You're looking nice and I've admired you from afar... I'm uh, Muse.

[947 Beulah]

[Happy Valentine's to Rin! She has received a package of cute clothes from her PVs Invasion! and I can take off my panties! Yes, including several pairs of panties. As she holds up a pair of them, she is surprised. Surprised at how long it took her to realize just how gross it was that she was wearing used panties, that is. This is a pretty cool regain in her humble opinion.

Male housemates (and Len) will find that Rin has hand-made some choco for them, totally failed at it, and tried to hastily hide her attempts by distracting them with heart-shaped boxes of chocolates on the table. Len's is legitimately huge, but Yosuke and Teddie got a reasonably expensive box too. Just don't ask about the pot of chocolate-scented ashes in the sink.]

[School + YO HOUSE + Anywhere]

[Rin decided to wear the first outfit from "panties", as well as one of the pairs of panties. With purple contact lens in her eyes and her hair in cute little ponytails, she thinks she looks special today! It's time to give out the choco she's been walking around yesterday to buy. She got enough for all of her positive male CR. (Don't worry, Lucas, that still includes you too.) School doesn't seem to be canceled, so she'll start by giving it to teachers and classmates. After that, she'll just try to track people down at their homes or in town. Not male CR? Feel free to meet her on the way. She'll be trying to sing one of her songs. It probably sounds really different as a human though - and possibly, she's stumbled through a lyric or two. It's been a while.]

( Sadistic Love )

ACTION: 1448 Mitchell (Closed to Megamind)

[Roxanne woke in a bed. This was pretty strange, as she -- tried not to share a bed with Endiku. It just felt weird-- and the couch was comfortable enough. Working on mockups of the paper late into the night, she often fell asleep in the comfiest of chairs anyway -- and managing the bed and the stairs while she had those huge moth wings (which since dropped off, though a pale green tinge to her skin is all that remains of her terrible surgery) had been a pain, so staying downstairs was the best ideas for the last week especially.]

[But she wakes up in a bed this morning, and is pretty bewildered for it. However, she realizes she recognizes this room. This isn't 'her' bedroom at the Shamhat house, no; this is... Megamind's?]

[Sitting up, she scans the room; she's been here before, on a few occasions. But there's a photo, of her errant villain-turned-lover, and her, together, on the nightstand, she knows that used to star Amy Pond, his not-wife... So that meant the sleeping body in the bed with her-- with the touseled black hair was... now her husband as far as Mayfield was concerned?]

[Yeah, things just got really weird.]



ACTION: 1448 Mitchell

[After dealing with the new set up, cleaning up and getting dressed, she headed downstairs to start breakfast. Last she'd be aware, Megamind's kids were drones, but they still needed to be fed, and she was still a housewife. She'd have to check to see where her gear ended up.]

[So she gets breakfast started, checks the mail -- and finds a package with her name on it. Well, then. A reward for enduring being a giant bug for a few days, huh? She tears it open, and finds her old Metro City press pass; it brings a smile to her face, and she leaves it on the table for a moment while she goes about finishing up breakfast before the kids get up.]


ACTION: Mitchell Street

[Time to get to know some neighbors, see who else is on Mitchell Street.]


Phone; filtered away from drones.

Looks like Mayfield decided to legitimize my relationship! [little laugh] Good for them I guess. Anyway -- looks like I've moved houses. Sarah, Isla, you want to come over sometime? We're overdue for work on the paper anyway... and since I'm a lot less like a bug and feeling better, we should work on that.

If anyone wants to donate any information they care to share, we'd really appreciate it. Anything you can think of, that people should know about, mysteries and information, warnings and groups, let me know! I was hoping to have this better formed by now, but life always seems to get in the way here in Mayfield...

A: action, around town

[For all that plenty of people seem to be acting strangly today, Estonia seems more or less unaffected as he hunts people he knows down to give them simple, but genuine Valentine's Day cards. The theme of them seems to be friendship, over anything romantic, but it's his way of appareciating his friends here in Mayfield.

If he doesn't see you at school, he'll be coming to your home or place of work to drop the card off.]

B: phone

[Whoops, spoke too soon. He was affected by those irises after all.]

I think it's ridiculous that people in love have to hide it simply because of unfortunate geographic locations. Judgements on courtship in general are more than a little irksome in general, but absolute secrecy? I have no desire to play any part in conforming to that.

I love Ukraine. And Russia, if you're listening, there is not a thing you and your stupid pipe can do about it. I'm not scared of you. [And now there's a dramatic hang up. Oh dear.]

C: 946 Beulah Street, evening

[Estonia is multitasking. In the kitchen, he seems to be preparing an exciting and exotic dinner for two, while his housemates, regardless of droned state, are being subtly kept out of the kitchen and dining room for the evening.

Gosh, it's almost like he has a date or something.]

[Somebody sent him flowers? Oh goodness me! Slick is just a-giddy with excitement. Skipping merrily to the flower vase, he daintily picks up a carnation and sniffs in its lovely fragraokay who am I kidding Slick immediately sets the flowers on fire.

Unfortunately for him, he may have caught a little whiff of the smoke from the vase before dumping the ashes outside...]

[action, Febuary 14th]

[IF YOU ARE ABOVE THE AGE OF 13, Slick will approach you brusquely, without any sort of provocation whatsoever, and will shove a small, carefully wrapped box in your hands without so much as a greeting.]

This is for you.

[Meanwhile, if you're under the age of 13, Slick will instead hand you a black suit, a fedora, and a suspiciously-wrapped L-shaped package.]

We don't have much time so I'll keep this short. I'm your new dad, call me Papa Slick, and you're part of my Crew now. We've got a heist planned for noon, here's your suit and your hat and your gun. Meet me in the car when you're dressed. Oh yeah, bring an apron, I'm gonna teach you the best places to stab a guy.

[Well this isn't terrifying at all.]

(February 14th: Action / Erim’s Workplace / Around Mayfield, Technically? / Open to Residents)
[Erim had been wandering around when a woman had ushered her into a building; standing before her, she now demands to know why she’s late. The silver haired female hasn’t even the time to ask a question before she is seated in a chair at a desk in front of a mechanism.]

[Letters on raised metal circles, attached to small metal bars, go inside the black metal. They seem to beckon fingers to press them, and hesitantly she does. An a appears on the paper sticking out of the machine. Some form of magic? Spying notes on the desk, they read, “Rewrite the official schedule,” “Type out an abriged version of the Henderson report,” and other things that mean nothing to Erim.]

[So she begins to write. Anything, everything. Her past, the history of Estpolis—the world from where she originates. What else does she have to do today, anyhow? Taking occasional breaks when she sees others doing the same, someone even has the kindness to buy her lunch when he notices she didn’t bring her own.]

[At the end of the workday, she receives a bouquet of carnations, “For a job well done.” Apparently, what she writes doesn’t matter as long as she shows up.]

Lovely—perhaps being here isn’t entirely inconvenient.

[Stepping out the door of this place, the once-goddess gives the faintest smile and inhales deeply. Flowers have always been a favorite of Erim’s. A small weakness, if you will, ever since she named the priphea in the Gratze Empire.]

[If you’re below age eighteen, you will be treated to the utmost maternal love; if you’re eighteen or above, you will be treated like a dearly beloved sibling…]

[But of course, Erim won’t know why.]

[Phone]

Valentines day, the day of love, the day of giving chocolates to those you like and telling them your feelings.

[Somethings a bit off, Almaz isn't his usual happy self, in fact considering his normal personality the tone he has while saying these things is way off. He should be a lot more upbeat and sappy about it.]

Worthless! It's all worthless! In fact, I Almaz von Almandine Adamant the Dark Hero shall make sure to ruin all of your happy day of love! I shall take all your chocolates and eat them myself!

Mwahahahhagougihsdflkhss

[Unused to trying to laugh evilly he starts to hack and cough a bit. Not wanting to look more silly he hangs up the phone.]


[Action A: Hastings Boulevard

[Almaz's first target was going to be Mao so he wasted no time heading towards his house. Along the way he did silly petty things like opening mailboxes and raising the flag when there was no outgoing mail. Take that mailman! Feel his evilness!]


[Action B: Around town]

[[Pretty much like everywhere else Almaz is attempting to do evil, though it's really pathetic evil and more like bad teenage pranks gone wrong. He might have teepeed your house, or messed with your mailbox, maybe let the air out of your tires or something else annoying but ultimately harmless.]

(OOC: Almaz is effected by the pitcher plant, do hid normal heroic tendencies have been reversed to that of demon, though he's still a Disgaea character so ultimately it's harmless.]

Hello, beautiful~

Someone as pretty as you shouldn't be alone on a day like this.

[Teddie is approaching random girls and flirting with them shamelessly, trying to get a date. Clearly he is deeply under the effects of- yeah, no. Who am I even kidding here? This is just Teddie acting the way he usually does. He's not under any flowers effects at the moment, but feel free to approach him with all of the horrible lovely bouquets you like.]

[Anyone near the park today might see a woman sitting on one of the benches, humming to herself. That in itself is not strange, but there are shadowy hands sprouting from the ground and nearby trees all holding different flowers, and swaying in time to her melody. Occasionally, she is presented with one or more of the flowers for inspection. Those unlucky flowers are then shredded, and there is a growing carpet of petals at her feet. Sometimes her humming rises into actual lyrics.]

Petals fall and flowers wither,
Voices call 'Come now! Come hither...'



[OOC: Yep, this is choose your own terrible, terrible adventure. Pick any flower effect you like. Fair warning though, pitcher plant and hyacinth are likely to be dangerous choices. You have been warned...]

[Feb. 13/14, ACTION, around town]

[So by now, you should know that the mint's effects include the need to hit on everyone in sight till they give you a kiss, right?

Negi has been sniffing mint since the 13th, and now he's wandering around town putting the moves on everyone that...well, moves. Yes, boys and girls, for two days only, the Kissing Machine is in town and completely aware of his actions. Wherever you are, whoever you are, you are not safe, because he is sidling up right next to you with a rather charming smile.]

Ah, hi. Has anyone told you that you're very beautiful yet?

[Yes, fellas, that is a ten-year-old hitting on you. If it helps, he can kiss very well. Just ask Yuna.]

[A: ACTION | Around town | Mint]

[No matter who you are, whether or not she knows you, and as long as you're legal - Hawke might approach you at some point today with a devilish grin on her face and a raised eyebrow. HAAAAY BABEH. :3c]

Nice weather we're having, isn't it? Very snowy. And cold. But as long as you have someone to keep you warm...

[B: ACTION | 918 Bilko Boulevard | White Daisies | For Fenris (but his housemates are welcome to tag as well!)]

[Sometimes Hawke likes to swing by the 'Danarius' household to visit Fenris (and, previously, Bethany's drone), have a drink, and read some books with him. This is one of those times - except today, there are some daisies growing in the hedges out front. WELP.]

I found some more... quality literature for us to go through. [Naturally, she has a few cookbooks tucked under her arm. :|a] Perhaps we could turn this into a cooking lesson, hmm?

[C: ACTION | Grocery store | Milkweed]

[After getting a good whiff of some milkweed, Hawke finds the urge to flirt with and kiss everyone in sight, as well as her cute little crush on Fenris, diminished, replaced with a great desire for milk. She can be found in the dairy section, holding a gallon of milk in her hands and frowning at it.]

I know everyone says "don't drink the milk," but does that actually have any weight to it? Is it really poisoned, or is this just some bizarre anti-dairy propaganda? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Action // Around town // ROSES // locked to whoever responds to this option first.]
( Cut for the set up. )

[What a lovely day, the birds are singing and love is in the air. Claire's currently enjoying a nice relaxing walk through town.]

I don't know why I had the sudden urge to leave the house. I knew I had to pick somethin' to pick up at the store...but I completely forgot what it was. This is gonna bug me until I remember. Then again, there's no harm in getting some fresh air. So maybe it's a good thing I can't remember...

[Whatever happens he will feel a deep sense of regret for days to come...Randomly stop him and say hi?]

[It's a beautiful day, and Hungary couldn't have been happier. This is the nicest her flowerbed has looked in a year, which makes the vicious guarding of it for the past few weeks all worth it.

It doesn't hurt that she's been gifted with an equally beautiful arrangement of blood red roses, as well. Hopefully, her happiness is as contagious as the pollen is.]


A: Action right outside 456 Stone st [Hungary's elbows are propped on the windowsill right over the flowerbed, on her face an expression of utter bliss. She's in a good mood, so she'll certainly be sweet this time. She'll even let you step on the grass.]

B: Action about town [Could be the bakery, or the flower shop, or shopping anywhere, really. Someone is looking for an extra special gift for that extra special someone. Also, she's on a horse]

[voice]
Tara!

We definitely need to talk, dude! Where've you been?! I even went through your house the other day! Anyway, that's gonna have to wait a bit 'cause it's Valentine's Day, and I've been waiting for this for a way long time!

[The only thing he might have done differently without the iris, was, maybe, remembering to filter it to her. There comes the sounds of fumbling noises in the background before a soundtrack of some sort begins to play...]

OK, here we go. One. Two. A-one two three --

You can't fade away
The way I feel for you there ain't no word I could say
What I'd do for you, and every single day...

By your side is where I'll be
Endless love and faith you'll see
When I walk you walk with me
Tara!
Together let the light shine! Together let the light shine... Together let the light shine~

[If Tara isn't properly mortified yet, Beast Boy caps this off with a --]

I love you, Tara!

[action]
[And then Beast Boy is triumphantly riding down the streets of Mayfield on his shiny new moped (when the heck had he ever owned this?!) with a giant bouquet of flowers.]

This is the best day ever!

[Naturally, he drives about as well as a 14-year-old could be expected to drive and promptly crashes at least 7 times. Maybe into you.]

This is still the best day ever!

[His bouquet is in pieces by the time he gets anywhere close to his destination. But there's a bunch of simple, elegant daisies growing in a flowerbed which he promptly plucks out of the ground.]

[A: 1648 Albright Lane (Locked to Housemates)]

[Cain is much better now than he had been, healing of a clone quickly bringing him back to where he had been, and his smile is perfect for paving over the rest of the cracks. One would be hard-pressed to know anything had ever happened.

This morning finds Cain in the kitchen looking at the new vase of flowers contemplatively, while wearing a breathing mask he's fashioned himself out of a pillowcase. He'd seen what others had been going through and spent the latter part of the day analysing what seemed to cause what effect.

He's currently making breathing masks for everyone else in the house... hope those weren't your pillowcases he destroyed.]

[B: Phone (Locked to Anyone who recently arrived in Mayfield and Anyone in need of a friend)]

Good morning, my name is Cain Knightlord. I know that I've met one or two people who are new here, and I thought I would extend my greetings to everyone. I know you must all be confused, it's pretty overwhelming and scary... but it's good in a lot of ways. There are people here who will always look out for you, because we know that sticking together and making friends is the best way to get through this.

If anybody has any questions, or just fancies a chat with a friendly face, then look no further! ...Unless it's during school hours, and then we might have to reschedule.

[C: The Park (Open to All)]

[There's a small boy in the park today, sat out under one of the trees in the spring sunshine with a newly fashioned breathing mask across his face.

He has armfuls of cloves from the nearby grocery story and string, which he's fashioning into head-dresses, bracelets and necklaces. Come and ask why he's taken up making jewellery out of cooking ingredients?]

[ACTION, back-dated to Feb. 13, locked to Millie (bridesearches)]

[Miku is strolling along this neighborhood today, for some reason. Up until now, she hasn't been really affected by the flowers all that much, nor does she even know that there's something going down. While she is a bit wary, it's not enough to stop her from deciding to stop and smell the roses. It's not like anything bad's going to happen when she does that, after all.

And...well, it's Valentine's Day, one day from now. It makes her both sad and happy at the same time, as she crosses the street to pluck a rose from a nearby bush. She's happy because...well, it's going to be Valentine's Day soon, and what kind of person wouldn't be? Yes, even when they're, for all intents and purposes, a single singing robot. But at the same time, she's sad, because a certain someone isn't here to spend the holiday with her.

She closes her eyes, breathes in the scent, and opens them again.]

[PHONE, Feb. 14]

Ah, hi, everyone! Happy Valentine's Day.

[Strange, Miku sounds...chipper. Yes, she usually sounds chipper, but today, it's a different kind of chipper. It's the chipper tone of someone who has fallen head over heels in love.]

You know, I know a lot of love songs. If you want to hear one, come on over to 1332 Benny Road, I'll sing one just for you and somebody you like! I'll even make leek juice for you, too.

Hmm...oh, yeah. I'll give you all a sneak peek! [Uh, oh.]

( when i get home my wife always pretends to be dead )

So, how was it? There's more where that came from! Like I said before, come to 1332 Benny Road. I'll sing for you and whoever else you bring along.

[filtered to Millie]

...um. Hi, Millie-san. Can we go out on a date soon? I think I can get us a discount at the Neutron Diner.

[Snow Villiers isn't always a fast learner. But when he is? You had better watch out.

See, he's just learned a thing or two about Valentine's Day from a certain green kid and now? He intends to celebrate the holiday the only way he knows how: being a huge dork and doing something spectacularly romantic for Serah.

But he can't do this alone. So it's time to make a phone call or two.

PHONE - FILTERED TO HOPE ESTHEIM AND RIKKU]

This might be just a little short-notice---just a little---but I'm gonna need your help with somethin'. It's kind of a big deal, and I wouldn't ask just anyone. I'm not catchin' you at a bad time, am I?

[ACTION - ANYWHERE

As Snow gears up for his inevitable surprises for Serah later on in the day, he's gonna be around town picking up as many flowers as he can. He's not much of an expert on flowers, but he's pretty sure that Serah would love pink and purple, right?

What he doesn't realize, of course, is that the pink carnations and purple hyacinths might give Snow a different sort of Valentine's Day surprise altogether...]

[action, in town]
[Like half of Mayfield, Grimsley has received a heavy whiff of mint up his nose and hasn't been able to control himself.  ...Unlike half the town, this in no way deviates from his normal behavior at all.  Near about sunset, he walks around town with a faint coloration to his cheeks, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands.  Women will be approached and offered a red rose and a charming bow.]

A lovely display, isn't it?  ...Sunset?  Ah, I was referring to your fashion of dress.

[Men will be offered a white rose and an easy smile.]

I do believe we outnumber the fairer sex of the town.  Even so, I'd hate to see anyone spending the day alone.

[Bad pickup lines ahoy.]

[action, assorted]
[Earlier that day, somewhat less sleazily and without any flower effects (yet), Grimsley will be knocking on the doors of his female acquaintances with a fresh bouquet and a box of chocolates.  He is, if anything, a gentleman.  Off-hand, he visits Charlie and Rarity's houses in particular, but will likely be swinging around Sara's, Hilda's, Sheppard's, Tsunade's, and a few others as well.

Feferi receives a box of chocolates almost as tall as she is.  Shura receives a much more subdued offering, but still packaged and displayed beautifully.]

[The phone line is picked up rather suddenly, as if the speaker didn't know he was going to be talking on the phone a second ago.]

Kaylee, I think you're beautiful. You're confident and fun and the fact that you know more about machines than I do turns me on.

I like you a lot. A lot.

[Suddenly the line is silent except for a small puff of breath. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on. Then the phone is promptly hung up.]

[Call him back and ask him what the hell that was all about?]

[Action: Morning - 306 Miller Road]

[Chrome has been holed up in her room for the last three days and is finally starting to feel the affects of hunger. She's mostly gotten used to that though, so there really is no reason to leave her room again except to find something more suitable for defending herself (if it comes to that) than the broom handle she filched from the closet.]

[With this thought in mind, she steps out of her room and almost trips over a vase full of flowers.]

Who...would leave flowers...?

[She picks them up, holding them away a bit in case they're poisonous or something. They seem harmless enough, so she brings them towards her face and takes a breath.]

Hmm....smells like peppermint candy....

[She places the vase by her bedside before turning to continue her mission out into the rest of the house.]

((ooc: Come on. Say hi to her, housemates. I dare you.))

[Action: Later in the Day - Around Town]

[If you happen to be out, you may notice a young purple-haired girl wandering around in a nightgown carrying a rake. Feel free to talk to her -she's feeling very friendly right now.]

[At least until the flowers affects wear off.]
