I Choo-Choo-Choose You

[asano_san]

Who: Asano Keigo and his Valentines
When: Saturday, February 11, throughout the day
Where: The Underground Mall
Summary: One thing led to another after the TFLN virus hit his NV, and now Keigo has to hand out ten Valentine's Day cards.
Warnings: Potential Keigo humiliation?


Keigo wanted to ignore Grell's dare, or whatever it was, to pass out cards to ten people. However, thoughts of what the Reaper next door might do if he didn't go through with it meant that today was delivery day. He found some printable Valentines, so at least that was taken care of. He didn't know if Grell would count "printed on the computer" as handmade, so just to be safe, he added some glitter. There. Totally handmade. And a little lumpy. [As of the thread with Rainbow Dash, the animals all have sunglasses drawn on them in pen.]

The next problem was finding ten recipients. Keigo didn't know enough women, and too many of the ones he did know were off-limits for various reasons, mainly having to do with the threat of physical violence. He even thought about handing them out to guys with lots of explaining, but he didn't want to give friends like Kazuma the ammunition.

What he needed was a place with a bunch of strangers. He could offer every cute girl who passed by a Valentine, and they would be so flattered they would accept. Then he would win them over with his charm and have so many date options for Valentine's Day, there would be a waiting list. How hard could it be?

Keigo went to the Underground Mall. This might not be done before Sirens.

((Open log. Come get a Valentine from Keigo, or just make fun of him and his kindergarten-craft-hour-reject cards. Prose or action tags are both fine by me.))

[Dash is cruising the mall, ignoring the various stares she usually gets for doing so, when she spots someone handing out something.

She flies up behind Keigo, intending to take him by surprise from above.]

Hey! Free stuff! I LOVE free stuff! Gimmie gimmie gimmie!

[asano_san]

[Keigo turns in excitement at hearing someone so eager to take one of his card, and then falls on his butt yelling when she's flying in the air above him.]

[littlepwny]

Woah woah woah! Chill out!

[She winces at the level of noise, covering her ears with her hooves.]

I didn't think it'd be THAT scary!

[asano_san]

You don't just sneak up on someone like that! Nothing good ever comes at me from the sky!

[fightswithpurpose]

[Nelliel has been contemplating just what kind of Valentines' gift would be appropriate to give out to friends. In the end, the shopkeeper advised her that plush toys and a package of "Hershey's Hugs" were the way to go. She's got a very large bag filled with Valentines' Day paraphenila.]

Good afternoon, Keigo.

[asano_san]

Nelliel!

[Now here is someone Keigo doesn't mind giving a Valentine to at all. He gives her one of the "Won't ewe be my Valentine?" cards, which thanks to Rainbow Dash's influence, now has a pair of sunglasses in addition to unnecessary glitter.]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[fightswithpurpose]

Thank you, Keigo.

[She smiles at the Valentine, and even chuckles a bit when she reads the silly little pun on it. Reaching in her bag of goodies, she hands him a teddybear that says "Happy Valentine's Day" on the belly.]

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too. But isn't it on the fourteenth?

[blondandperfect]

[Hattie is at the Underground Mall today; having just come from having her nails done. As she was walking about wearing an expensive looking orange winter coat over her clothes, she happened to notice Keigo wrapping up with Rainbow Dash.]

What in heavens?

[She approaches him from behind, then leans in to talk right into his ear.]

Have your eyes on that one, do you? You're a strange boy.

[asano_san]

[Keigo jumps at the sudden voice in his ear. Then he's so embarrassed he wishes he had jumped straight through the roof and out of the mall.]

I do not! She's a pony!

[blondandperfect]

[Hattie follows Keigo's jump with her eyes, with a touch of a satisfied smile.]

Yes, I did notice that. So let me guess, when you kiss her she turns into a princess, right? So what's your plan of action, Keigo?

[cheerhealer]

Claire had only just arrived at the mall, and was trying to avoid looking at all the different decorations around the Mall. It felt weird to celebrate holidays when they were trapped here. It wasn't out of place for people to be handing out things in the mall, but the girl who rejected whatever the guy was handing out made even Claire feel a little sympathy.

She decided to approach him; maybe he was handing out coupons? Very...badly made coupons. With hearts, glitter, and sunglasses drawn on them. Oh- definitely not coupibs, then. "You know it isn't the 14th yet right?"

[asano_san]

Keigo was trying not to let his latest rejection get him down - She was wearing funny shoes! Who wanted to go out with a girl wearing funny shoes anyway?! - when someone new approached. All right. Here was his chance. He moved to put an arm around her shoulders while he held out one of the monkey Valentines. "I like to be on top of things."

[cheerhealer]

Sorry, Keigo, that will not be happening. She made a confused (and maybe slightly disgusted) face at him, taking a step to the side and holding up a hand to make sure his arm didn't try to wander back to her shoulder.

"Right. Just for reference, you're coming on a little strong." This kid seemed familiar to Claire.

[the_dead_pool2]

[Deadpool had already got his valentine's day stuff on lockdown, and it was actually pretty decent, in his opinion anyway. He still needed to cover the whole flower thing though, he'd have to pick them out today. He is armed considerable less then normal, deciding katannas were a little too threatening. He was wearing much more normal clothes, jeans, jacket, flannel shirt, rocking the Canadian look. He still had a couple of concealed pistols, and a few knives on him. Not being armed was kind of annoying, and he avoided when he could.

When he sees Keigo and spots what he is handing out he points and then breaks out laughing]

Hahahahahahaha You are soooo lame!

[asano_san]

Who are you calling l-

[He spins around to confront the person mocking him, only to realize that it's him.

Keigo shields his face with the remaining Valentines.]

[the_dead_pool2]

[He is still laughing holding his sides a bit, before taking a breath]

Clearly you, spazz-face. I don't see anyone else handing out those lame things.

[He saunters over, this guy was the most beta male he had ever met. Whoa, beta male, someone's been book learning! ]

Pro tip for combat, paper makes a shitty shield. Try something solid.

[thelittlestbub]

[She was only dropping in on her way to work. She had a few things she wanted to check out, and she needed some more notions for her dress and the one fabric store in the mall was the one she liked. They often had interesting things to choose from.

Rounding a corner, she wasn't paying attention and stopped just barely short of bumping into someone.]

Keigo?

[asano_san]

[At this point, Keigo is not expecting much from anyone who actually knows him, so when he turns toward the voice calling his name, he's ready to defend himself. Seeing that it's Jubilee, he has to stop to reconsider his chances.

Probably not violent. Probably not interested in him. At all. But might take a Valentine to be nice.

He pulls out one of the bee ones and holds it out to her. Rainbow Dash liked them, and Jubilee seems like someone who would like awesome things, too.]

Happy Valentine's Day?

[thelittlestbub]

[She grins and takes the card, looking at it before leaning in and OMG KISSING HIS CHEEK.]

Thanks Keigo. What're you doing here?

[theyallwantme]

Takuto was out walking alone for once in a long while. He was finally feeling better after everything that happened in November and now his Senpai was finally comfortable with letting him go out alone, though it had taken quite a bit of convincing. He was wondering through the Underground Mall today, wondering if he should stop for something to eat or buy something for the house. Maybe something to drape over the coffee table?

Speaking of the damaged table, Takuto smiled when he spotted his friend. He waved to Keigo as he approached, wondering just what he was passing out.

"Hi Keigo-kun. What are you doing?" His eyes looked down at the table. Keigo, you have some 'splaining to do~

[asano_san]

Well, if one of his male friends had to come by, at least it was Takuto. He was actually nice and there was a chance he wouldn't make fun of him forever and ever for being so lame he had to try to pick up girls by passing out cards at the mall.

"I'm giving out Valentine's Cards. Do you want one?" He was also so lame that he couldn't even get ten girls to take them and needed to pass one off on Takuto. He held out a fish card. Fish weren't romantic at all, right?

[theyallwantme]

Takuto smiled at the explanation and took the fish valentine. He read it and let out a small chuckle at it.

"It's cute. So why are you handing these out? Are you just trying to brighten up everyone's day?" Of course Takuto was nice. He always thought the best of Keigo...and having a crush on him didn't hurt either.

[deathknellgrell]

[ Grell is in the mall doing a bit pre-Valentine's day shopping. He's evidently been successful, as he's got several shopping bags swinging off each arm. He doesn't know what William has planned, so has determined to be prepared for anything!

It's been an uneventful day, so far, apart from the unpleasantness with the perfume-spraying girl (didn't they all deserve to get chainsawed?), and he's presently inspecting a kiosk full of hair accessories, circling intently around it and bumping into-- ]

Keigo!

[ --his favourite person to torment! ]

[asano_san]

[For once, Keigo doesn't feel a sense of impending doom at an unexpected Grell appearance. This is actually the best time for Grell to unexpectedly appear because now he will have proof that he was passing out cards for Valentine's Day. Keigo only has a couple Valentines left and he holds them out, fluttering the papers at Grell.]

Look! I'm doing what you told me to do!

[deathknellgrell]

Hunh~?

You're - really?

[ A pause.

And then -- ]

HAHAHAHHAHA!
