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 ♪ ]

Sweetheart!

[Grabs onto his arm.]

Wanna help me get some chocolate?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Darling, you're not going to be able to fit in your armor if you keep eating like that.

[But he's not necessarily pulling away]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Eh, it's magic. It'll be fine.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't know if you're referring to your armor or your stomach.

[But sure, let's grab a random box that is lying around]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Both? It can be both, right.

[Grabby hands for half the ribbon on that box.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Grabs the other half of the ribbon]

And if it's not chocolate?

[crossmyheartandhope]

All yours, I guess.

[Pulling his half of the ribbon.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well.

What if this is in it? What then, Hurricane?]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Oh.]

[My god.]

[He just starts laughing.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Tosses the box at him]

On brand for you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Catches it!]

Man, how can I say no to that?

Guess we better find one for you, though.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

As if they could come up with any plush that would suit me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess we better see what they got then. Kinda sounds like a challenge to me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're going to regret saying that. And I so am going to enjoy the look on your face when you do.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, what's the worst thing that can happen? We get some dumb gag gifts, no big.

[Going for another couple of boxes.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What's the worst that can happen...?

[Seriously?]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...besides finding like an actual, disembodied human heart? But I'm pretty sure no one's gotten one of those, so.

[Holds a box out toward him?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[TOO SOON, HURRICANE, TOO SOO---

No, it's not. He just said the same thing to Nemesis]

Then on three.

[crossmyheartandhope]

One. Two -

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Three!

[And giving the ribbon a tug!]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Also tugs!!]

[And inside is... this. What looks like a very soft, chibi version of Intensity's assistant. With a heart. Awww.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Thanks. He hates it.

Fuck how can he steal this without looking like a bleeding heart.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh my god, dude. Check it out.

[He scoops it out of the box and waggles it Intensity's way.]

You better grab this one. Fair's fair, right? I got the ninja.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Don't act like you want it. Don't act like you want it. Don't act like you want it.

Huffs as he BEGRUDGINGLY takes it]

If you insist, Darling.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Gotta each have one, right? That's the spirit of Valentine's Day, or something.
