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.]

They got their heads in the clouds, is what. Think they can just slap some names on some posters, and we're all gonna hook up now. For what, their amusement or somethin'? A sense of self-satisfaction? Whatever. They need to mind their own business.

Did they post any with your name on it?

[she shakes her head, rumbling for a few moments.]

It doesn't work that way- affection does not come so simply. […said like she knows, though she's pretty terrible with her own feelings, honestly…]

[her expression is clearly displeased, but she nods.] There's one over there… [and she indicates it.] I'd understand if we were rated poorly with people we'd never spoken to- heavens know there's enough of us- but I rather liked Minato when I spoke to him…

[aside from the time he maybe-sort of ran away from her after she sold him some cookies? that was weird.]

[charming_jerk]

He's on my bad list, too. And I can agree with that not because of his looks or personality or somethin', but because he's a kid. Saori ain't, though. And I don't even know this Duster person.

[His top three are a whole other story, though. He was definitely attracted to all three. Was he that obvious about it that even the moogles caught on? How mortifying. Or maybe there really is something behind these numbers. He tried to sneak a look for the numbers of those three, but he only spots Reno's. Johnny is in his top three at a 92. His heart practically skips a beat over that. But then he spots something awful: Albel's. Johnny is his top match at a 98. Johnny's face goes from embarrassed to enraged.]

What the fuck?! Albel? I'm a top match with that crazy asshole? This has got to be a joke.

[unyieldingspirit]

Duster didn't sound a bad person, from that letter. [not that that… necessarily means anything.] All the same, it makes you wonder.

[…mm. She doesn't see any particular objections to being estimated as being compatible with someone else- so long as they don't have someone already in mind. Maybe something good will come of that- or some conversations, at least.

She peers at some of the others, ears twitched forwards, and startles away at Johnny's outburst.]

Albel? [has she met him? She doesn't think she remembers an introduction. But her ears flick back as she watches Johnny, eyebrows drawing in. If Johnny's that displeased by even the thought…]

That settles it, then. There's nothing substantial to this- they went and drew lots for us all.

[charming_jerk]

And he's not even on my list at all. This shit doesn't make any sense.

[He huffs as he rips down Albel's results, too.]

How many of these things are there, anyway? They better not have 'em hanging up anywhere else.

[unyieldingspirit]

No… I'd have thought they'd want us to compare, at least. If they were serious.

[she looks around, ears flattening back for a moment.]

I don't know how many there are, but I'm willing to bet the moogles put up as many as they possibly could.

[Twelve be good, she does not want to lose the day to this.]

[charming_jerk]

[A long-suffering sigh.]

You're probably right. Better get movin' then. You want me to take down any with your name on it, too?

[unyieldingspirit]

[she looks sympathetic, moving to bump him with her shoulder briefly.]

I suspect some of them could use a lesson in what it means to overdo things…

You don't have to go out of your way. [she doesn't mind the people on her own lists so much, it's just… why…] I'll try to bring you something later. [a brief pause of realisation] Do you like chocolates?

[charming_jerk]

[That's surprising to hear. He doesn't feel very deserving, after all his griping.]

Oh, uh. You don't gotta do that. Especially after all the stink I just raised about valentine's day.

[unyieldingspirit]

[she gives him a small smile.]

I'd like to show you my appreciation, as a friend. [for the flyers, and, well. being.]

[charming_jerk]

[He sheepishly scratches the back of his head.]

I mean, I guess. Can't stop ya from doin' something nice. Thanks.

[unyieldingspirit]

[she beams, clapping her hands together for a moment.]

I'd hope you wouldn't need to. I'll be by later, then!
