I, Lovebot

Who: Cupidman, and all of Hinoto-Ri!
Where: Literally anywhere you want. Note the location in your comment!
Summary: Valentine's Day Shenanigans of Ridiculous Caliber
Warnings: Mind-alteration, ludicrous amounts of sap

As dawn breaks on Hinoto-Ri, one might spy a strange sight throughout the city - a red and white angelic robot flying through the air, and periodically coming down once he spots an interesting group of civilians.

"Good day, citizens! My name is Cupidman, and I will be your designated deliverer of love on this fine, fine St. Valentine's Day! In such a terrible world, we all should get along better, and should do the best to ensure this is a fine place to live for your future generations! And, well - those future generations should also be ensured! So I'll just help you take that first step~!"

With that little spiel delivered, Cupidman then fires sparkling pink-and-yellow arrows into random civilians, then takes off to go find more suitable targets.

[ OOC: As mentioned in the mod post, this is a mostly silly opt-in event. Cupidman is shooting people with magic arrows that will cause their target to fall head-over-heels in love with the first person they see for a few hours. Once it wears off, they'll have a hazy memory of what went down - just enough to question if it really happened. If you like, you can start your thread as already having been shot, or leave it open to be shot - just make sure you put something in the subject line if you want interference from Cupidman. If your character is the type who would want to try and stop him from what he's doing, mention you want to challenge him in the subject, but keep in mind that he has to escape to strike again on White Day. Of course, that doesn't mean he has to escape unscathed... ]

Over in the Capricorn district, namely in Central Park, there's another robot-centric strange sight to be seen. This time, an orange robot, though he's not doing anything especially bad. In fact, he's in trouble - he's running from a flying pair of scissors which may or may not be leaking little cartoon hearts behind them. The poor guy is rather panicked, and is yelling for anybody he passes by to help him out, because this is really not a situation he ever wanted to be in.

[prototype_blues]

Some days Blues wonders what the hell is wrong with Hinoto-Ri and why he even bothers leaving his apartment on those days, and today? Is looking like one of those days.

Since he had come to the park to just relax outside, by himself, that isn't going to happen when he hears the yelling robot before seeing him. Then when Cutman ran past? That's when Blues actually paid attention.

And promptly wondered, once more, what the hell is wrong with Hinoto-Ri before he'll make a simple attempt to help the other robot.

By shooting at the flying scissors.

[acutabovetherest]

The sound of the scissors exploding gets Cutman to stop, skid to a stop, and for a moment, pant while leaned over - gotta cool those overheated systems a bit, y'know?

Once he looks up, though, he's rather...surprised. He's admittedly not sure about it because he'd never seen Protoman without his helmet, but the scarf, the colors... A little off, but still unmistakable.

"Protoman?! When did you cut in here?!"

[prototype_blues]

Protoman? Blues arches a brow at that, because he's never seen this robot before in his life. Then again he hasn't seen many humanoid robots before showing up here, and seeing Rock and Roll through a sky light doesn't count. In fact he almost, almost points to himself and ask if the other robot means him.

But then again, it's not like there is anyone else around here shooting rampaging scissors.

"Uh... since last month?" Not going to correct Cutman on the name, and he may as well give him an actual answer. Cutman might take note that Blues doesn't sound anything like Protoman.

[acutabovetherest]

Cutman is suspicious!

Well, as suspicious as he can manage. He's never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, so to speak, but even he can tell something's off here. He steps a little closer, peering Blues over until the other robot speaks - the voice throws him even more than the odd appearance. "What's up with your voice? And where's your helmet? I thought having hair under it was just something that Mega-Twerp did!"

[prototype_blues]

"I don't have a helmet?" Blues just sounds nervous! And awkward! And nothing like that jackass Protoman at all, or at least not as confident or cocky! So Cutman doesn't have to be all that sharp to figure out that he has the wrong robot.

"... "Mega-Twerp"?" And yes, he's not even answering the questions.

Or at least not yet.

"Um, I think you might have the wrong robot. Maybe, or something. Name's Blues, not "Protoman"."

[acutabovetherest]

At this point, yeah, Cutman is pretty sure this is the wrong robot. He's not even buff enough to be Protoman, on top of all the other weirdness! And he doesn't know about the Mega-Twerp. Maybe he'd better go tell Dr. Wily about this.

"...guess I do. Well. I'll cut on out of here, but since you helped me out, I'll give you some advice - keep an eye out. There's a winged weirdo running around shooting freaky love arrows at people today!"

[prototype_blues]

"O... kay, thanks?"

Cutman, you so weird. Blues is going to go now. "You be careful too, robot."

Heck he doesn't even know Cutman's name! That's even weirder.
