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... ]

"W-what?! Feelings? I didn't say that! I can't have feelings for you, you're going out with Rune!"

This is why she usually doesn't talk, to be quite honest.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"But you got hit by an arrow! That's supposed to give you feelings!"

The narration is not sure why Pit is so insistent on Latooni having feelings.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"Um...why, exactly?" she asked, having grown up in a laboratory with no opportunities to absorb pop culture until like a year ago.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Because that's what Cupids do! They fly around hitting people with feelings arrows that give people feelings!"

Eloquent as always.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"I...see," she said, even though she didn't.

"Wait, do you do that?"

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"No. I go around kicking butt!"

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"So then not all Cupids do that," she said, in spite of her previous success with using logic on her crushes.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Yeah, but, I'm different. I'm only based off a Cupid. That was all in my early design, anyway."

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

...

"Pit, are you a robot?" Because that would be far too ironic.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"...no. I'm an angel!"

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"I probably shouldn't ask about that earlier design thing then, right?"

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"It was the 80's. Video game design was simpler back then."

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"I should...probably just go home and take a cold shower," she said, sighing. "It's kind of what I usually do."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Okay. Um, you don't...need me to walk you home, do you? You know, in case that Cupid up there tries to shoot you again."

He doesn't have a club on him, so he can't deflect attacks, but he'll try his best!

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I...um, I don't think that will be helpful, but thank you for the offer.
