Love Springs Eternal (??)

[bright_and_blue]

Who: ERRYBODY
What: It's Valentine's Day, and there are matchmaking notices everywhere. Here's an open log for one and all to post their shenanigans, meet ups, freak outs, and whatever else they're going to do about this.
When: forward dated to Feb. 14
Where: All over Aqures Ixen
Warnings: Ridiculousness.

[Plastering the city are notices matching up all of the Heroes of Light with one another, both the best and the worst. Moogles are having a grand old time handing them out and hanging them up, and are encouraging Heroes to speak with their top matches.

Naturally, reactions to this are mixed. Some Heroes are intrigued, some annoyed, some offended. Despite their feelings or misgivings, the rest of the city is still celebrating Valentine's Day as well, and now the thoughts of love are everywhere.

OOC: This is an open log for everyone to use for Valentine's Day stuff! Feel free to make your own prompts.]

[It shouldn't be any surprise that the Barkeep is drawn to these flyers, Sparks Nevada being a target of special interest.] Aya Brea and Rukia? Huh, looks like the machine's sorta on-spot. [Rukia can be a bit odd for Sparks, but he's certain that can work out. Certainly!]

You gotta admit, they put a lotta work into this!

[So proud of those Moogles.]

[red_planet_blues]

What? [Sparks's reply is a bit fast.] No, this is just-- Y'know, this is all moogle nonsense. There ain't any science behind this.

[Red folds her arms and gives Sparks a hmph. He just won't listen to her! At least Barkeep gets it.]

If by "work" ya mean "meddling", maybe.

[forcegalactic]

They only got our best interests when they got this whole project set up, ain't exactly "meddlin'" if it's a suggestion.

[red_planet_blues]

You 'n I got real different definitions of the word "suggestion", then. The only interests they got in mind is their own gossip.

You've been single since you arrived here, kupo, and I know you're not happy about that. Why not accept the suggestions?

Whoa whoa whoa. Who said I'm not happy? I didn't say I'm not happy. I'm totally happy. I got work. I got a world to save. I got a planet to get back to. Who's got time to worry 'bout dates?

[forcegalactic]

Suuure you are. Between holin' yourself up in yer office and gettin' beat on by monsters, you must be havin' the time of your life.

[An overtly friendly pat on the back, which the Barkeep adds a sigh to.]

All this stress is gonna turn you old fast, Sparks Nevada. You gotta find time to relax and get your mind offa this end of the world business! Look at pretty much everyone else! They ain't losin' anythin' by havin' fun durin' their downtimes, why don't you?

[red_planet_blues]

Nothin', sure. Nothin' but time ticking off the apocalypse clock, is all.

[Sparks couldn't deny that he was tired off all this world-ending nonsense, but he wasn't about to admit that. That would be like admitting defeat.]

Reckon I just wanna get back to Mars, Barkeep. Been way, way, way too long on this planet now.

[forcegalactic]

Sparks Nevada. We got a hundred folks workin' on this. Takin' a day off ain't gonna do a dent in our progress.

Look, I wanna go back home, too, but that ain't gonna happen until we get outta here. I'll get the Force Galactic back, send you right to the point in the timeline you were taken, and it'll be like nothin' happened! Just...don't bring up home again, alright? Halloween was ruined enough for me.

[Serious look. Thanks for ruining the costume party.]

[red_planet_blues]

Okay, okay, if ya get off my back, then I'll--

Wait. What am I bein' browbeat into doin' here?

[Only half paying attention to this lecture, as usual.]

[forcegalactic]

You're gonna take a day off. Find somethin' to do that don't involve nothin' with the law. [Like dating, he implies with a jerk of a thumb towards the flyers.] You're still young, Sparks. Go have fun!

[red_planet_blues]

Ah, maybe, like, tomorrow. When places ain't filled up with couples on dates. Work sounds a lot more invitin' at the moment.
