16th Screw [Action]

[Today, Nano can be found shopping around for discounted chocolate, marked down after Valentine's Day. She had already made and delivered plenty of obligation chocolate for her various friends in the days leading up to the love hotel event, so it's a little odd to see her out and about buying even more of the stuff. And a lot of it, too, from the looks of things. Her hand basket is almost overflowing with the stuff as she makes her way through the aisles, humming cheerfully to herself as the key in her back slowly turns of its own accord. And... is she blushing? And giggling to herself? Something is clearly afoot here, but at least so far, she hasn't mentioned it to anyone.]

M'gann...? What's wrong?

[Happy as she is, she always has time for a friend.]

[hello_mgann]

I had a really crappy Valentine's day, so now I'm going to get a bunch of oreos and sit in my room and cry. Alone of course.

[all_wound_up]

O-oh... is there anything I can do to help?

[She's pretty sure there isn't, but she has to ask anyway.]

[hello_mgann]

I'm sorry Nano, the last few days have been really hard for me. You haven't met a guy named Conner around town have you? Muscular guy, dark hair?

[all_wound_up]

No, I'm sorry, I haven't.

[hello_mgann]

Figures. He's my boyfriend, and I know he's in town but he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. I was really looking forward to spending Valentine's day with him, and not only do I get kidnapped, now I can't find him at all.

[all_wound_up]

That's terrible! How could he not even call you?

[hello_mgann]

I know, I just keep thinking I've done something wrong or said something I shouldn't have. I just don't know.

[M'gann is beginning to tear up.]

[all_wound_up]

Oh, M'gann... I'm so sorry.

[Nano immediately sets her basket down and opens her arms.]

[hello_mgann]

[M'gann is now full on sobbing.]

I thought we had something special. It's like I'm being ripped away from home all over again.

[Nano just nods, hugging her friend and patting her on the back. Go on, cry it out.]
