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.

Cupidman can intervene later if he feels like getting his jaw punched

Ahh, morning. What a beautiful day full of sunshine and romance and yeah, who are we kidding, Tatsuya's spending it alone. Well...

Not that he actually cared about Valentine's Day in the first place. That sort of thing happened when you intentionally made it a habit of swearing off everyone's advances. Plus, how would Valentine's Day and White Day even work if you were going out with another guy? He never could figure out what the protocol would be in that case and, therefore, thought the entire thing was stupid.

Maybe later he'd try to hang out with Maya but, seeing as how the Maya here doesn't remember him, that would probably be super awkward...but still, it'd be kinda nice...it didn't really help that today was Jun's birthday...

...Wh-whatever, there were more important things to concentrate on! Like finding where those bunch of people, including Eikichi, went. And so, Tatsuya started the day in a way that would help him get his mind off things: exercise, jogging around Hinoto-ri in his track suit, starting in the Pisces district and heading north.

COME AND GET IT CUPIDMAN >(

Pit was outside minding his own business when he suddenly felt angry. Or, rather, something inside of him felt angry, though it didn't stay inside of him for long.

"Who does that man think he is, imitating me in that gaudy outfit?"

The young angel stopped and looked up at his side. Floating just above him was the phantom image of his persona, Cupid.

"Um...what are you talking about?" Pit asked, confused that his persona had decided to pop out and provide commentary. The confusion didn't last long; he realized that he should have long since been used to impromptu commentary.

The phantom angel pointed his heart-tipped arrow upwards. Pit lifted his head and squinted, seeing the flying robot in the air. "What the heck is that?" he asked.

"I don't know, but it offends me! The fake!"

"Why can everyone fly but me," Pit muttered.

"You ungrateful brat! I help you fly!"

"Yeah! For 30 whole minutes! Don't get me wrong, that's awesome, but couldn't it be a little more...permanent?"

"For a level 2 persona? Please, you're lucky you can fly for just 30 minutes! That's more than Palutena could do!"

"Yeah, I know..." Pit shrugged, looking down from the sky. "Anyway what's the big deal about that guy?"

"He's an impostor! Pit, we should show him who the real Cupid is!"

Pit gave his persona a suspicious look. "What are you suggesting?"

"What do you think? Let's buy us a few heart shaped arrows and use them with one of your fancy bows. We'll show them the true power of the real Cupid!"

"..." Pit stared at his persona blankly for a moment. "No!" he interjected. "Absolutely not! There's no way I'm gonna be a Valentine's Day cupid! I grew out of that stage in the 90's. That stage isn't even really canon!"

"But isn't part of your modern design based on that stage?"

"Well, yeah, but not the heart shaped arrows! I fire magic light arrows now."

"What about that darling little Angel Bow?"

"Don't have it."

"Oh! But maybe we can use the Viridi Palm. That shoots hearts, doesn't it?"

"For the last time, I am not shooting people with love. And that's final!"

Cupid sighed. "For a cupid, you're no fun."

"No, I just don't like embarrassing myself for no reason!"

"But you just do it anyway."

"Shut up, Cupid!"

Pit frowned. Even his personas made fun of him! An angel can't get no respect around here. >\

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.

[Nano's just out for a walk trying to get her mind off her best friend and most the people she would normally be giving chocolate to still being trapped god-knows-where. Just minding her own business. But it seems Cupidman is going to throw a wrench - or rather, shoot an arrow - into those plans.]

Hm? What's that...?

[She shields her eyes from the sun, staring up into the sky as the holiday mascot robot soars past. Nano didn't get that good a look, but apparently someone did. Her current Velvet Room Persona, Chirashizushi, pops out unannounced, blushing and eagerly flapping her wings.]

Cupiiiiiid! Mr. Cupiiiiid! Over here!

[Nano is completely mystified, and before she knows what's happening, there's a love arrow sailing through the air toward her. Chirashizushi squeals and disappears, apparently too embarrassed, causing the arrow to strike Nano squarely in the chest. It bounces off, but the damage has been done emotion-wise, and Nano is now thrall to its emotional magic.]

...That was very strange.

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-02-14 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[And close by there is one priestess out getting some last minute things for Valentine's Day. Really it's the best distraction someone can do after three of her friends go missing...and the fact that she can celebrate the holiday.

Hold on, did some weirdo just fly by...and did they just hit Nano?!]


Nano-chan?! Are you ok?!
all_wound_up: (shy)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-15 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yukiko... san...

[Hey, is Nano blushing? That's awfully strange.]

I-I'm fine!
gigglesnortpriestess: (oh!)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-02-15 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Then why the sudden redness? Can robots get sick?]

But you're red! Are you sure you're ok?
all_wound_up: (surprised)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-15 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
O-of course!

[She's having an awful lot of trouble looking Yukiko in the eye, though.]
gigglesnortpriestess: (at attention)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-02-15 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Poor thing...]

You didn't notice that man flying over you earlier?
all_wound_up: (eh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-15 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Chirashizushi was very excited about it... I didn't get a good look at him, but the arrow bounced right off.

[Nano blinks and fidgets, casting about for something to focus her gaze on.]

...is that a robot?

[Latooni was preparing to summoning her Persona when she saw Cupidman firing into the crowd, but his indiscriminate fire hit her before she could react. Instead, she's knocked down by the shock of getting hit, subsequently sitting up with the shock of not actually being hurt.]

...huh.
eyewillprotect: (What...?)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-02-15 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She probably shouldn't have let her guard down, but really, she wasn't expecting to be attacked in broad daylight...

So that's why there's a slightly dazed-looking Aoi just standing in the middle of the sidewalk. What just happened???
]
second_destiny: (Angry)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-15 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[There will be a sudden hand reaching for Latooni's wrist.]

Dammit... Come on, let's get you out of this crowd!
second_destiny: (WHOA WAIT)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-15 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Aoi -- damn, no!

[Asem immediately runs over. He's worried now.]

A-are you all right?!
gforceinmyfaaaace: (say it a third time)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-02-15 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Latooni!"

He saw that, and now he's rushing toward her.

"Latooni, are you okay?"
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (blushing)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2013-02-15 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...Asem, thank y--

[And she lets herself be pulled up.]

Thank you.
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (smiling)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2013-02-15 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah...um, yes, I'm fine, Pit," she said with far too many commas. "What exactly just happened?"
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (shocked)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2013-02-15 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Nano, he got you too?

...he got your Persona, too?
eyewillprotect: (We're totally normal!)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-02-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a couple of confused blinks before she shakes her head.]

I-I'm fine, just a little surprised. [She looks to Asem, intending to smile reassuringly but...

...

...Is she blushing?
]

Ah... A-anyway, there's no need to worry. It didn't hurt or anything, so... I'm perfectly okay!
gigglesnortpriestess: (i'll go along with it....maybe)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-02-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Chirashizushi? Is that your persona?

[And it bounced off? Weird...]
gforceinmyfaaaace: (you two know each other?)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-02-15 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
"That robot up there shot you with an arrow."

Pit takes a moment to think about that. And then...

"...are you feeling okay?"
second_destiny: (Serious)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-15 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Save the thanks until we're safe. Now, follow me!

[Asem turns around and begins making a path through the crowd.]
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-15 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
You sure?

[Asem's head is slightly tilted, and he looks a little concerned.]

You look a little flushed to me.
eyewillprotect: (Things are looking good!)

[personal profile] eyewillprotect 2013-02-15 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure. I'm not hurt in the slightest. But thank you for worrying about me, Asem.

[...Well that was an abrupt change in name usage.]

Still, it's been a while since we've seen each other. How have you been lately?
