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... ]
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

Huh? No, I don't. I just go wherever. What about you?

["And are you restraining yourself and not charging headfirst into the fray?" he wants to ask.]
eyewillprotect: (Your cheerful council president!)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-02-25 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
I've been assigned to patrol the Leo district, myself.

[And for the record, no she is not.]
second_destiny: (Serious)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-25 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Leo Ward? I don't think you'd find much action there. Must be pretty quiet.

[He's secretly thanking the chief of police for that assignment.]
eyewillprotect: (Feeling down.)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-02-26 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Whereas she on the other hand...]

It's true. But... in a way, that's good, too. It means that even at night, there can be peace sometimes.

[At least she's trying to stay optimistic?]
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-26 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. And preserving that peace is just as important as tracking down aggressors. Especially during war.
eyewillprotect: (Sorry for my father...)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-01 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... I'm glad I can help at all, even if it's just a little. [Swallowing that disappointment...

It's then that the waitress comes, and Aoi quickly orders maccha tea and a small cake along with it. Afterwards, she quickly picks up the conversation again.
]

What about your work, Asem? How is it going?
second_destiny: (Serious)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-01 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asem places his order, too.]

Slow. It's bee pretty quiet lately, I think partly due to people not being around.
eyewillprotect: (Feeling down.)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-02 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Her expression falls a little.]

...We still don't even know where they went. I hope they are safe...
second_destiny: (Sad)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-02 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Me, too. Some of the people who went were friends of mine. If they end up getting hurt...
eyewillprotect: (Komaki please stop.)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-04 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
...We'll just have to be here for them when they return. I'm sure the hospital will be able to handle them, and some of us have healing powers as well...
second_destiny: (Serious)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-04 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe...but I'd prefer they didn't get hurt in the first place. I've already made a vow to protect the people I care about, and I'm not going to falter.
eyewillprotect: (Ojou.)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-05 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Mm. It would be great if they were all able to make it through safely.

For now, I'll keep praying.
second_destiny: (Sad)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-05 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's all we can do at this point, huh.
eyewillprotect: (Feeling down.)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-06 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
The pain of being unable to help directly... It may just be the star of fate we were born to bear.

[Being forced to stand still like this certainly brought with it its own burdens...]

Ah, I'm sorry. That may be too gloomy to talk about on a day like this.
second_destiny: (Sad)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-07 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I should be sorry. I'm the one who brought it up first.
eyewillprotect: (Default)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-08 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should move on to a different topic, then?

[Hmmm...]

We've spent some time together, but I still don't know very much about you. What kinds of things do you like, Asem?
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-08 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Yeah. Um...

When I was in school, I was a member of the Junior Mobile Suit Club at my school. My dad's a mobile suit pilot and designer, so I was hoping I could take after him. And I like the subject, so I figured it'd be a good way to spend my time.
eyewillprotect: (Hmm?)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-09 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Mobile suit? What are those?
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-09 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...Wait, I never told you? Mobile suits are humanoid combat machines.

[Read: Giant mecha.]
eyewillprotect: (What...?)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-10 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Humanoid... combat machines?

[She can't even imagine them.]
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-10 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Giant robots. Big enough for people to sit inside and pilot them.
eyewillprotect: (What...?)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-11 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
...

Excuse me?

[You'll need to explain that one in greater detail there.]
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-11 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...just like I said. My mobile suit is a giant robot that I can get in and control from a cockpit. It's got weapons, and some strong armor.
eyewillprotect: (They wouldn't... Would they?)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-03-12 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...Those are real?

[She'd heard of such things in the movies Komaki sometimes told her about, but...]
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-03-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Er, yeah. At least in my world. Do those exist only on TV where you're from?
