[ 06 ] Action/Dictated

[heirofficium]

 [ Happy Valentine's Day, Paradisa. Sirius is about to leave (to go find one Miss Alexandra Russo and spout what they both know is the worst romantic bullshit at her, no doubt) when two boxes propped up at his door fall on his feet.

Upon picking it up, he finds that one is a heart-shaped box full of chocolates and the other... well then. ]

For me? Aw, Paradisa, you shouldn't have... 

[ A beat, as he gazes upon the depressing little cake. ]

You really shouldn't have.

[Alex]

Let's go into town tonight, just the two of us. Dinner's on me.

[ There's a smile to his voice as he talks. ]

[/Alex]


[[ Open to planned and unplanned chocoshenanigans! He's going to either wandering the halls, hanging out in the lobby or hanging out in the kitchen. :3 ]]

Sirius

[delincuente]

I think I could go for that.

Alex

[heirofficium]

Hoped you'd say yes. 7 o'clock? Meet at the gate?

Sirius

[delincuente]

That would be perfect, Mr. Black.

[Insert bad imitation of his accent.]

Alex

[heirofficium]

Is that supposed to be me? Really?

[ Laughing at you, Alex. ]

[therealrisette]

[At around the same time as her neighbor discovers them, Rise opens her door to find her own heart-shaped box of chocolates! And a cute little cake!

Well, the cake isn't as cute as it looked at first glance. Why would someone leave such a sad-looking cake on Valentine's Day? ... And why did someone leave chocolates and cake for her, anyway? White Day isn't for another month.

Or maybe Valentine's Day is different in the castle? Oh, well. No use dwelling on it. There's chocolate!

And a cute neighbor guy across the hall, too! Once Rise finally looks up from the unexpected gifts.]

Oh, hi!

[Rise steps out, still in her nightgown, and with her hair down. She looks amazingly well put-together for someone who just rolled out of bed. Because she didn't. She never leaves her room without at least fixing herself up a bit.

She looks at the matching box of chocolates and gives him a sly smirk.]

Guess we're both hot items this year.

[She punctuates with a wink, of course. This still strikes her as a bit strange, but she's not going to question it too much.]

{ooc: Enjoy one of your many Valentine's Day gifts, Sirius. >:3}

[heirofficium]

[ Sirius looks over when the girl speaks, and his face brightens considerably once he gets a full once-over. Cute Asian girl in a frothy little nightie? Happy Valentine's Day indeed.

He sidles along the wall toward her door to move closer, offering a wry smirk. ]

Hot items? I'll say.

[ He offers his hand genially, nodding his head politely. ]

Sirius Black. Who might you be, luv?

[therealrisette]

[Rise can't help but giggle at Sirius' distinctly Western charm, as she offers her own hand. She knows how she was instructed to invite a handshake from a foreigner, not how to respond, so she leaves that part up to him.]

Rise Kujikawa. I guess we've been neighbors all this time, huh?

[Chocolates and a chance encounter with a charming stranger? Best Valentine's Day morning ever.]

[heirofficium]

The pleasure's all mine, Rise.

[ Handshake? Psh. He'll do you one better by kissing Rise's hand. Take that, cultural differences. ]

I s'pose so. I have to admit, it's a crime we haven't met sooner.

[courageous_wit]

[chuckles] I'm guessing you got the same gifts as the rest of us.

[heirofficium]

[ MOST DRAMATICALLY DOWNTRODDEN VOICE. ]

Aw, thanks for making a bloke feel unimportant. The boys of Hogwarts must really love you, Granger. [ sarcasmmmmmmmmm ]

You got them too, I reckon?

[courageous_wit]

Oh, yes, I'm quite popular with boys. I can hardly keep them at bay most days.

... And yes, I did get them.

[heirofficium]

Oho, is it just me or have I met my match?

[ Excuse him while he laughs for a bit. ]

So, have you any plans for today?

Action forever.

[lupinotuum]

[ Likewise, Remus has found his own box of chocolates, courtesy of the castle and has now parked himself in the kitchen, dutifully ignoring his actual breakfast in favour of chowing down on chocolate that seems to never run out.

So far, there have been no incidents, but Remus feels rather odd. On one hand, he feels rather angry and upset at a certain someone, whom he caught this morning flirting with at least two different girls and is quite possibly chatting up a third this very moment. Remus knows he really has no place to be upset and shouldn't be using the chocolate to drown his sorrows, but whatever. It's chocolate and he won't deny that the "light-as-a-feather" feeling it gives him is making him feel a whole lot better.

So there you go, Sirius, feel free to interrupt him while he's inhaling his chocolate. ]

Re: Action forever.

[heirofficium]

[ Unfortunately for the poor sod, Sirius himself comes sauntering into the kitchen, grinning when his eyes fall upon his friend. ]

I've been looking for you!

[ He sits down and holds out one of the chocolates, smiling. ]

It looks like the box replenishes itself, but I wanted you to have the first of these. You know- chocolate addict and everything... It's double chocolate, I think.

[lupinotuum]

[ Remus glances up when Sirius sits across from him, only a mild amount of irritation evident in his expression. Sirius wasn't exactly the first person Remus wanted to see at the moment, regardless of the fact that he craved attention from Sirius more than anyone else.

He raises his eyebrows and sniffs a little, sitting up. ]

That so? Thought you were too busy...

[ He shrugs, before his gaze falls onto the little offering. Obviously not one to refuse such a thing as chocolate, Remus reaches to take it from him, offering a little smile as thanks. ]

I've got my own, but thanks.

[heirofficium]

[ He laughs a little, almost pityingly. It's almost kind of cruel to be this oblivious to the problem. ]

Come on, Moony, why so sour? You should be out gadding like the rest of us.

[luxe_can_kill]

[At the lobby, Mitsuru was walking down the stairs. The sound of her high heels could be heard from a distance. She has her box of chocolates on her hand, and she seems to be heading down to The Lux]

[heirofficium]

[ Oh, hello. Those are some attention-grabbing shoes there. Don't mind Sirius, he's just going to look at the rest of her, about-face and follow after her discreetly. ]

[luxe_can_kill]

[Mitsuru got in to The Lux and sat on bar stool. She's been a frequent customer ever since she went here with Pixy. No more alcohol though. Never again. She places her box of chocolates on the bar surface and ordered a drink]

I'll have my usual black cherry seltzer with a lime twist.

[She got used to the bar scene by now. Alone on Valentine's Day again, but at least she's not worrying about running the Kirijo Group and dealing with annoying board members. She just got no one to give chocolates to, which is the tradition in her country.]

Dictated

[staggeringego]

[ A laugh. ]

How could it not with such a handsome rogue as yourself? Really I'm surprised the castle didn't take a fancy to you sooner than this.

Re: Dictated

[heirofficium]

It's a good thing I'm a very forgiving guy. I'll look past the castle's blindness to its own feelings and forgive it.

[ Let's be real, they both know he's spouting utter tripe. ]

Did you get some too?

Dictated

[staggeringego]

[ You and him both, Sirius. ]

'Course. Imagine it's this years gift for the special day, don't you?

voice (for now, i presume :3)

[goingrogue]

Woahhhhh Sirius! I knew you were a total hottie. I mean, your voice-- It is so much hotter than your text. I think I'm going to need to take off some clothes over here. Talk at me more, studmuffin.

oh totes for now ~

[heirofficium]

Roxy? That you, babe? [ He laughs a little. ]

You sound right killer yourself ~ Where are you, Duckie? Come have some chocolate.

:333

[goingrogue]

You know it! I am swooning all over here, just so you know. But if you're asking me to see the true hottie face-to-face? I am all over that. Just name the place and I'm there.
