Who: Romantic couples ♥
Where: Wherever romantic couples are sold
When: Day 91, morning

[ Good morning, idols! Isn't today wonderful? The sun is shining just a little brighter today, the hotel seems just a little more vivid in color today - and for good reason, it seems!

There are balloons and decorations going from outside of your dorm down to the lobby, all heart shaped in a variety of colors, with cute words like Smarties. Things like "KISS", "LOVE", "XOXO", etc - there are even a few blank ones if you just want to write your own messages on them, should you get a sharpie to do so. You can detach them from their places - in fact, there are several gathered up at your apartment's entrance with heart-shaped half-pound weights, as if encouraging you to take them with you!

When you take them, you'll feel just a little bit encouraged - to be honest, to be brave, to be bold, and perhaps even to give the balloon away to someone else. It doesn't really do much else - that little bit of encouragement isn't even all that much, just enough to give a little pep to your step. Even so, it's nice! Giving things to people is nice!

Speaking of giving things to people, there are heart shaped boxes flooding the kitchen and lobby. Cute! They're filled with chocolates or other snacks or matching accessories, jewels and diamonds or even maybe this specific horse? Everything you can find in the boxes are ~50 points in the shop, although highly limited to snacks and accessories and bizarre novelty items only C would appreciate as Valentine's gifts. (Though miniature, so they can fit in the box, you know. The Furby army is miniature.) There's a catch though! In order to open these boxes (and therefore find out what's inside), you have to follow the instructions on the tag: two or more people must help open the box by tugging the ribbon. If you don't do that, the box won't open, no matter how much you try to pry it; if you cut the ribbon off the box will still not open, and if you try to break open the box, the. . . insides will just be destroyed, but go off, I guess?

At the café, the menu has been transformed to ♥ Valentine's Day ♥ themed food items. Largely, you'll just find the featured items to be red velvet in flavor, and everything heart shaped from food items to the very plating itself. Cute!

The themed menu and gifts will stay around until the end of Day 94, so you can take your time with this. (Heart Games will be placed out of time when they run, so you do not need to take that into consideration before playing.) Happy Valentine's Day ♪ ]

[Watching her drag the balloons to the lobby.]

By whatever fucked up calendar their using, anyway.

[rollplayinghouse]

...It's been like three weeks since mistletoe, hasn't it? At the very least, they seem to have an accelerated schedule.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So then another two weeks of trauma before they bring out the next set of chocolates for White Day.

Bah humbug.

[rollplayinghouse]

Does that mean you don't want any Valentine's chocolate?

[sort of. deliberately casually]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If it's just chocolate, I'll pass.

I'm very specific about my sweets.

[rollplayinghouse]

Oh? What kind of sweets do you like, then?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Come now. It's no fun if I just tell you.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Then give me a hint.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The main ingredient in sweets is not always sugar.

[Motions for her to come closer]

[rollplayinghouse]

More Japanese style sweets, then?

[she comes closer]

Or are you being more figurative?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hmmm. I wonder.

[Leaning down until they're almost nose to nose]

Got any offers from your other boytoys today?

[rollplayinghouse]

[turns a little red, and turns her face down to not quite meet his eyes]

No, not at the moment. Why does everyone think the moment a romantic holiday appears I've suddenly got a packed schedule? It's a lot more complicated than that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

When you told me you were interested in six people. And you're the one that makes it complicated.

[rollplayinghouse]

It's complicated because I don't know that I'm interested in all of them! Not... that way.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Would you be opposed if any of them did ask you out today?

[rollplayinghouse]

[...]

Some of them, yeah.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just laughs]

Well for the ones you don't find objectionable, I'll give them a fair chance to prove themselves. They'll probably need the handicap.

[rollplayinghouse]

Oh, you'll give them a chance, will you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't need the help of a fake holiday.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Maybe I want to spend the fake holiday with you, though.

At least, some of it. You probably have some other interests yourself, right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are you asking me who I'd be handing real chocolate too amongst all the obligation chocolate?

[rollplayinghouse]

Sure, something like that. Though you don't seem like you'd express yourself with "just" chocolate either.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No, I don't.

[Leans in even closer, this time just by her ear]

So if you want to celebrate this farce, you should stop by my office after dark.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She reddens automatically, a flush crawling down her neck even as she tries to keep her face impassive]

...I'll plan for that, then.
