... See, all of ye are gushin' about the holiday comin' up, tis of course your right to, ye won't hear a peep from me about it.

But, nary none did remember our current location, apparently settled upon an interdimensional hellmount.

So I'm gonna say it.

... Tits Up Special on Saint Valentines Day at the shop. Even if none of us get turned into frogs or fairies or frozen in our seats or lobbed headlong screamin' into Tarterus...

I'm bettin' money one or ten of ye poor bastards out there is gonna want a free pint come the 14th.

More talk about Valentine's Day? Saint Valentine would be honored or perhaps...dismayed.

[There's tinge of humor there.]

I'd think he'd wonder why we decorate everythin' in fennel seeds, but that's beside the point.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

That and sugar. Everything here is awfully sweet.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Cos it's an addictive substance and cocaine's illegal.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

[Congratulations. That wins an actual chuckle from Augustine. The vampire appreciates the wit and sarcasm.]

Are you positive it's illegal? I've seen enough questionable folks to state otherwise.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Oh wot, when Twitchy Charlie across the street tells ye it's legal, so could ye pop on down to the corner store dumpster an' pick up his 'medication shipment' for him?

Aye.

'Course. Silly me, how could I have forgotten that stipulation when it's for Twitchy Charlie's 'back pain'.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

[Wat? Thank goodness this isn't video. Augustine is absolutely perplexed.]

...I suppose we all have our vices.

[Augustine isn't certain what happened here but suddenly they're talking about Twitchy Charlie? This conversation is sailing towards the cosmos already.]

I know that I most certainly do.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Aye, human condition and all that. Tale as old as time.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

Twice as old if you feel like getting biblical.

[No apples of wisdom for him, thank you.]

Nevertheless, what sort of travesty do you expect to unfold next? Perhaps we'll be turned into delightful candy treats and consumed by our beloveds.

[Augustine pauses momentarily as he lets that slightly disturbing thought sink in.]

Nothing says "I love you" like devouring your beloved's immortal soul.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Nae, something far more predictable and ham fisted.

Get shot up to hell by a flying baby with a gold bow and arrow, I assume.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

...I almost prefer my idea over this flying baby nonsense. Although, I can envision that happening if whatever governs this world allows it.

[Augustine seen some very odd things in his heydays but nothing quite like what this fellow is describing.]

Has that happened before?

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

I don't remember what last years Valentines Day was, I spent the entire thing with me fiance, missed the entire debacle, whatever it was.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

Is that how you plan on avoiding the malevolent wrath of Cupid this year?

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Aye, seems like an excellent idea. Can't get shot by a baby if ye stay in your house all day.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

Fair enough. I know Theodore mentioned that I should woo some poor woman to be my valentine.

I'm actually considering it now if it means avoiding the dangers bound to come.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Well I know there's a few folks out there who appear to be in some romantic distress due to the approachin' holiday.

One of 'ems a cat.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

A feline? You don't say.

Is he some sort of "beastman" or "mutant"? I have seen such creatures in my world but most of them are quite feral as a result to the Ether's presence, the magic flow.

May want to put the antidote batch I made last month on special, chief. Some of those old love potion recipes include things like mercury and the like, and some dumb sod is bound to get the target of their affection poisoned.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

I can't tell ye that, haven't a clue.

Can tell ye he's a blond, if that sweetens the pot.

Re: Video

[feckinboomstick]

Oh damn, yer right, they do, don't they?

We got any updated books in the back to put towards the front with a more modern recipe in 'em? Maybe somethin' without lead and mercury and phosphorus in 'em?

The population here don't need to lose any more IQ points.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

A blond cat? [Augustine can't help but chuckle at that.] Felines aren't exactly my style.

They're too sensitive to the supernatural.

Re: audio

[feckinboomstick]

Well then I'll warn ye away from the other lonely heart.

He's a cat too.

There's some deputy guardian cryin' out for company as well. Fair enough lady, don't know terribly much about her.

Definitely not a cat.

Re: audio

[immortalrose]

No cats. No dogs either or anything else remotely furry, please.

Oh? A deputy guardian? Does she have a name?

[notquitedracula]

All I have is Gandolfi's book, and he wasn't exactly the sort to make love potions. I don't know what we have in the shop - I'll dig around and see what I can find. If nothing else, I can probably find something in the castle library... or just ask a succubus.
