[OPEN] Valentine's Mingle

[passingmod]

Who: Everyone! Open to All
What: Valentine's Day mingle logs
When: any time generally around the holiday
Where: awkward cupid / conversation hearts / repay the gesture

Love is in the air, from chocolated Japan to cherubic America, from Victorian times to the far-off future. There are dreams of romance, candy, timid (and bold!) love confessions, and hearts everywhere.

(ooc: This is a post to keep threads together for Valentine's Day. Separate posts or additional subthreads are also fine, and this one is optional. Since some of the affects have potential to force a character's reactions icly, it may be best to discuss between the players or note your preferences/anything you'd rather avoid.)

[Oh great. Sweets. He didn't like sweets. He gave her a small weak smile before accepting them.] Thanks. [He hoped he didn't have to eat them now. Please don't force it on him...]

[waterfell]

Go ahead.

[Ami gave a nod towards the chocolates. She was going to make him eat them now. The good news was, he'd find out for himself they weren't actually very sweet at all.

Hidden by the roses, there was one more candy heart at the bottom of the package, as though accidentally. (It was, in fact, entirely planted there.)

It was her answer to what he'd said so long ago.]

[decaying]

[He really didn't want to try these but he had no choice. He didn't want to be rude. If this was anyone else, he would have thrown the candy in their face. So instead he just took one and bit a piece. A little corner.]

It's not sweet. [It's actually bitter! What is this witchcraft!]

[waterfell]

[She smirks as she gains her confidence.]

Didn't you once say you don't like sweets?

[Which means both 'so of course it wasn't sweet' and 'I notice what you say'. Besides, it had amused her to sneak that bitterness into what was typically a symbol of love.]

[decaying]

[Kanda could do bitter. He took some more.]

I guess I figured you had forgotten. I got nervous there for a moment.

[waterfell]

I didn't forget. [Obviously. Now that he knows already.

Ami nods slightly towards the candy heart.] That one is also for you.

[decaying]

[He gave her a small smirk before digging about for the heart she hid. She picked it up and, of course, he didn't understand it.]

A math problem? [Yeah. That's not romantic, Ami.]

[waterfell]

[It's only unromantic until it's solved. Sort of like the dark chocolate.]

A math problem. [He should be grateful, really, that it wasn't an even more difficult one, like a required test before dating.]

You'll understand if you solve it.

[decaying]

Solve it? Ami.... [Dammit. What the hell. He didn't do math!]

[waterfell]

Solve it. [She was repeating him an awful lot...]

That's where the answer is. [In math. Of course. Of course it would be hidden in math.]

[decaying]

All right. Thanks.
