I, Lovebot

[lovelovearrow]

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... ]

...Those are real?

[She'd heard of such things in the movies Komaki sometimes told her about, but...]

[second_destiny]

Er, yeah. At least in my world. Do those exist only on TV where you're from?

[eyewillprotect]

That's right. It's a little strange to think that they would be... true.

[second_destiny]

People keep saying that. I guess it's a big sci-fi thing or something.

[eyewillprotect]

I only know about it from what my friend tells me, but... I think that is the case at least.

[second_destiny]

Is your friend a big fan of sci-fi shows or books?

[eyewillprotect]

I wouldn't say a big fan exactly, but she watches those kinds of things from time to time.

[As opposed to Aoi who hardly ever watches movies and tends to stick to the classics more often than not.]

[second_destiny]

Oh, okay. Most sci-fi fans I knew used to be really into them, so I guess I just kind of figured.

[eyewillprotect]

I hear about it among the students every so often, so I always assumed it was just something popular with other high schoolers, myself.

[second_destiny]

[Shrug.]

Not all that popular where I'm from. Our Junior Mobile Suit Club only had four members.

[eyewillprotect]

[Wait...]

Even though you have real ones?

[second_destiny]

When they're real, they're taken for granted.

[That's all there is to it, in his mind.]

[eyewillprotect]

That... does make sense. Even the reaction to demons here is much different from what I would have expected.
