8th Love // [Action]

[ainoakuma]

 [Flonne has returned to working more than she should, but how could she possibly pass up such a wonderful holiday like Valentine's day? So in the mean time of working more than normally, she's also been using the kitchen space of the cafe to make some chocolate. It took her a while to get them right, but she eventually ended up with a good batch. Despite home life right now, she's very cheerful this time of year.

It's a little early, but she felt it was better to deliver chocolate a few days before the actual holiday. It was still that time of the year anyways. So you might see her while at work as she hands out her chocolates to those who come or she might just be handing it out randomly. Aside from the designated chocolate she made especially for her co-workers/boss/friends, she seems to have made too much anyways.

Look forward to this love freak approaching you dressed like this and red pumps to match and handing you chocolate as she wishes you an early Happy Valentine's day.]

Happy Early Valentine's day! I hope you enjoy these!

[OOC: If you're a random person or someone Flonne doesn't know much about, you'll get just normal square chocolates. If you're good friends with her or co-workers, she'll give you small hearts. Laharl will get a big heart chocolate from her, but that will be found in a bag sitting in his room; She snuck it in his room while he was away to avoid confronting him with a note saying, "Happy Valentine's Day, Laharl-san".]

[Fai was kind of glad that he hadn't been the only one that used the kitchen for once. The thing was a little too clean when it was just him since he very rarely made a mess. But he still had to work there some more and couldn't help but notice that she was working once again more than he assumed she would. He was starting to wonder what was up, but knew it was never a good idea to get involved.]

Very pretty dress you're wearing today.

[Fai had been doing his bit to try and get into this holiday business, which he only just discovered a short while ago and was currently hanging up decorations to celebrate.]

Keeping yourself busy, aren't you?

[ainoakuma]

[Oh man... You have no idea, Fai. Things didn't pan out so she's back to working a lot.]

O-oh, Thank you. I've just had so much to do around here lately. I hope you don't mind me borrowing the kitchen.

[And with that, she grabbed a bag containing a small heart shaped chocolate with a few misc. pieces inside, wrapped up with ribbons keeping it closed. She offered it to him with a smile.]

For you.

[behindthefakesmile]

I don't mind at all. It's free to use for staff after all.

[Since otherwise it wouldn't get used all that much anyway. Though he had to admit he wasn't expecting to actually get anything for the holiday because he knew usually what it mean and thinking about it now... He still owed someone a present.]

Ah, thank you. [He will gladly take it however with a smile and will have to think on how to repay later.] How very kind of you.

[ainoakuma]

[He doesn't have to. It's a gift. Enjoy them, Fai!]

You're very welcome! I hope you like them.

[Hikari had started to enjoy her little trips to the cafe. They had very nice treats after all and it was always a nice place to go to next to the tea shop. SO here she was waiting to get a seat when she saw the other. She wondered if she was one of the people who worked here.]

Ah, so it is Valentine's Day coming up then? [She wondered if she should think about getting chocolates for those she has met or not now.]

I guess I should get shopping after this then.

[ainoakuma]

That's right! It's in a few days, but I didn't think it hurt to be a little early.

[eighthchild]

You must like the holiday to be early then?

[It wasn't her favourite holiday personally, but that was just her.]

[ainoakuma]

Yes! It's one of my favorite holidays. Love is truly amazing. We don't need a designated holiday though to spread some love.

[redsnowangel]

[Zelos might be camping out in the shop since the blizzards started, because hell if he's going out in that weather. Still, he did promise Fai he'd help out, so here he was, trying to help out with the decorations.

Either way, when his break came along, he wondered over to said love freak.]

Hey cutey~ You're looking lovely today.

[ainoakuma]

[These two clearly work way too much...]

Ah, thank you! [And going off to grab a bag before returning and...]

Happy early Valentine's Day!

[Inside of the neatly tied bag was a small chocolate heart and a few misc. chocolates as well.]

[redsnowangel]

[Yuuuup, they clearly do.

In Zelos' cause, when the choice is working or dealing with blizzards, the obvious choice is to camp in the upstairs area of the shop so he doesn't have to go outside. Fai's even made it vaguely bedroom-like!

He does look a little surprised as she presents him with the bag of chocolates though.]

Aw, for me? I'm touched! That's so sweet of you, my little cutey~

[Assuming she doesn't pull away, he's just going to give her a little kiss on the forehead.]

Did you make these yourself?

[ainoakuma]

Of course! I couldn't make chocolate and not make some for you too.

[Does that answer your question? But she shows not signs of backing away, so he'll get away with it.]

[beautifulmidboss]

[In Midboss' mind, Laharl and Flonne avoiding each other had been going on far, far too long. But was sneaking along to Flonne's place of work to talk to her interfering too much??

Well, too late to ask himself that now, he thought as he wandered into the cafe.]

[ainoakuma]

[There was really no reason to sneak.. Really... She wasn't avoiding Midboss after all.]

Welcome to Cait-- Oh! Midboss-san, what brings you here?

[beautifulmidboss]

[This was Midboss. When did he ever do anything directly?]

I thought it high time I came to see the place for myself, of course.

I hope you are well?

[ainoakuma]

O-Of course! I'm surprised you haven't visited before.

[shslprogrammer]

[Chihiro is just chilled at a table by the window. Laptop out and trying his hardest to work on something, typing in a few commands for his Alter Ego to do while he tried to work on something else. After he finished typing up some code be looks over slightly.]

E-Excuse me?

[ainoakuma]

[And before you is this love freak offering a small bag filled with chocolates.]

Happy early Valentine's Day!

[shslprogrammer]

[Oh dear lord, he really does not know how to react to all of this. He is not use to it at all. Sure men would think that he was cute and frail like a girl, but he never really got anything on the holidays.]

A-Ah, Th-Thank you. Though why are you giving it to me? I-I mean it is Valentine's day soon but I didn't think people gave chocolates to people they didn't know that well.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Minako was someone who enjoyed this holiday and had been going out of her way to not only find the arrows but also to go above and beyond and actually use some of them that she finds to bring love to people who she felt needed it.

For now she was going to the cafe to see where she could use the arrows today when she spotted the other.]

Ah, hello~ You look like your celebrating Valentine's Day.

[ainoakuma]

[She knew that Minako would be and that's always a good thing. Flonne definitely approves of her endeavors.]

Ah! Hello, Minako-san! I sure am! It's the best day of the year!

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

I'm glad someone agrees with me that this is the best day.

[Some people might not understand it, but she gets her.]

So have you been giving out treats to your special loved ones?

[neverfeltthatway]

[Armin looks up, surprised - he'd simply been passing her in the street, he hadn't expected this girl he doesn't know talk to him, much less give him... whatever it was she was giving him? He hesitantly reaches out to take the chocolate, confused and a little flustered.]

Th-thank you. U-umm... I'm s-sorry, but w-what is Valentine's Day?

[ainoakuma]

It's only the best day in the year! It's about love and friendship! It's usually a way to spend time with the one you love, but it's a good day for friendship as well. I know it's a few days early, but I couldn't pass this time of year up.

Love is an amazing thing!

[neverfeltthatway]

O-oh. [Armin pauses a moment, looking a little puzzled.] I agree, but... do you really need a special day set aside for it? Shouldn't every day be a day for love and friendship, to spend with those you care about?
