It's getting pretty close to Valentine's Day around here. I hope everyone's ready for whatever weirdness the castle is planning this time around.

Or, maybe you have some romantic plans with your significant other? Let's hear 'em!


[Once-ler]

Where are you?

[/Once-ler]




[Crowley]

"Ino's Piece Of Ass", huh.

[/Crowley]



[Giotto & Tsuna]

So. How about we go get some hot cocoa in town? I know a great café.

[/Giotto & Tsuna]


[and after all of that is taken care of -- you might be able to catch her out by the edge of the forest, later in the day. she's pushed aside all of the snow to clear a small circle, and she's set up a small stone tablet with a name etched into it against a tree. in front of the tablet there's a small bowl with some incense, still burning.

she's just sitting quietly on her knees and watching the incense burn. she's also wearing all black ... what's up with that?]

[ Suddenly regretting his choice of words, but oh well, marching on]

I thought it was appropriate.

Crowley

[ino]

I'm sure Gale appreciated being labeled as a piece of ass.

[so dryly]

Ino

[onlyanapple]

I'm certain it's a title most people would be envious of him holding.

Ino

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm in the kitchen. [Oh hey!] Why? Are you back from your trip? 'Cause I've got your Thneed for you. It was a great idea, just wishing for the tufts.

Once-ler

[ino]

Yes, I'm back. And thanks, I thought so too!

[in the kitchen?! jesus christ he really has lost it] I'll come meet you.

[The mention of Valentine's Day and castle "weirdness" caught Rise's attention, even more than the fact that this is someone she hasn't met before. Last time the castle decided to do something "weird", she ended up less than ten centimeters tall for almost three weeks! And it's only been a week since!]

... Does the castle usually do something on Valentine's Day?

[Yes, she sounds very worried...]

[ino]

The castle takes pretty much every holiday as an opportunity to matchmake. And since Valentine's is a holiday entirely dedicated to romance ... well, you can probably imagine, it ramps things up a bit.

[originalcopy]

[Groan]

Oh, son of a bitch I totally forgot about Valentines Day...

Let me guess, the Castle just loves to pull shit for this holiday.

[ino]

You say that like there's a holiday the castle doesn't pull shit for.

[foin]

How bad does it get?

[ino]

It varies by year. Mostly, though, there's a lot of accidental kissing.

[Primo + Ino]

[not_mafia]

[normally he would be all wHAT WHY DO WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR THAT but OH LOOK WHO'S INCLUDED IN THAT FILTER so he is 100% okay with this]

Sure! I'm up for it if Primo is.

[Tsuna & Primo]

[ino]

I'm sure he will be. He mentioned wanting us all to go out.

[luxe_can_kill]

Valentines Day is celebrated in this world as well? [Oh no] I'm a new resident in this castle, I am not aware that holidays from my world are celebrated in here...

[ino]

I'm guessing you're from Earth, right? Most of the holidays celebrated here are from Earth.

[the_effect_she_has]

... what's Valentine's day?

[ino]

It's a special day you're supposed to spend with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Basically, it's a holiday about romance. And if you don't have a significant other, you can use that day to confess and hopefully hook up!

Action

[whistles_the_blues]

[A robot in sunglasses may be walking by as she's sitting quietly. He stops for a moment to try and figure out just what's going on. It looks like it may be best not to interrupt her, so he'll just stand aside and wait for her to move before he approaches.]

[ino]

[well, she doesn't appear to be getting up anytime soon ...

but still, she can tell when she's being watched, and after a moment, she'll at least lift her head to look back at him curiously]

Ino

[wilder]

[Oh man is Ino back?! Well...time to quickly cover his ass]

Just for the record, I swear whatever happened to Once-ler was an accident. A very drunken accident and I had no idea anything would happen.

Zelos

[ino]

[ ... huh]

You think this is your fault?

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

What sort of things have happened in the past?

[ino]

Oh, just stuff like enchanted candy and chocolate, and getting locked in a room with someone else the castle wants you to make out with.

Ino

[rose_of_battle]

If it's anything like Christmas, I'm not going anywhere near the castle.

[She pauses.]

Besides, Cloud's gone...

Sheena

[ino]

Oh? He went home?
