002: //[Video] Pushed back to the 14th//The Lovers effects...

[i_want_to_be_your_dog]

[The video starts with a young man that appears with an apron, he is holding a big plate with several cupcakes on it and all were decorated, the kitchen behind him is impeccable he is somewhat of a clean freak, apparently he was a very good and organized cook. He cleared his throat by softly pressing his hand to his neck.]

I'm sorry if this video is an inconvenience for you lovely ladies, but today is Valentine's Day, I made this for all of you, I took the liberty to make enough for every single lady on Prospero. I took the numbers from the contact list on the phone, of course. I have only meet some of you but I'm very pleased with all your delightful company.

[He took off the apron and left it folded on the back of the chair.]

I wish you could at least try one, I'm not such a terrible cook, I always try to please all the princesses on this day, as some of you might already know, I work for a young girl that always got terrible tasteless sex toys for valentine's from her fiancee...

[He said everything with a smile but he couldn't help to twitch in anger as he said that last part.]

So I believe every girl should receive a gift on this special day, a nice and lvoely gift as themselves. Maybe it's a little silly from my part to believe you would care for such an ordinary gift, but it's all I could do in such a short notice, I hope you can forgive me. I understand some of you already have your prince, this is just a little offering to all the delightful ladies, I hope you can pass by the lobby to try one.

[He left the tray on a table with at least more than 30 cupcakes on trays as well, some were decorated in an elegant way, others were more colorful, but each one of them had a special decoration that was different from the rest.]

As you can see I made each one specially, cause each one of you is special on their own way.

[He smiled once more and bowed to the camera just before the feed cuts.]

Cats, Books, and Noodles

[assaultedramen]

[Thanks to the, uhh, "generosity", of Gilgamesh, Miki has finally found some employment. However, sitting behind a register at a bookstore late at night, no matter how ridiculous and golden that register may be, isn't really her idea of fun. The books do nothing for her either, as books are also rather boring to her. After two dull nights and desperate for some excitement in her life, as her injuries have made constant nightly shadow hunts unwise, Miki has decided to throw herself into her second passion which has seen little use since her arrival at Prospero: getting people to visit her store.]

Video, sometime around 8PM Friday.

[Miki's phone is propped up against a pole in such a way that the viewing angle shows both her and Gil's bookstore in full behind her. Smiling, Miki begins speaking loudly and cheerfully as she makes exaggerated gestures towards the bookstore.]

Hey! Are you bored? Do you like reading books? Do you like coffee? Do you like cute things with cat ears? Well now you can have all of them at The Bookstore! Come on down to the Kitty Cafe inside and we'll make sure you'll have the best time you ever had inside a bookstore! T-this definitely means you too Lion! Nyan~

[Miki brings her arm up to her face in an imitation of the Maneki Neko pose before she runs up to the phone and shuts off the feed.]

Action - The bookstore

[The inside of Gil's bookstore is now filled with about two dozen stray cats that Miki has headed in off of the streets. Most of them lounge about in the way that cats are wont to do, with dispositions ranging from affectionate to disinterest. None of them look overly sick or diseased or infested, Miki did screen these cats personally, at least. Miki herself is running around, wearing her normal clothes and completely absent any sort of superfluous ears, handing out coffee in cardboard cups to the few bewildered customers inside. She has a few bandages on her hands and face, as well as a few minor red scratches.]

[Video] You can't handle all these Valentine's backdates!!!!

[manliness]

[ Sup, Prospero? This morning, a certain total badass awkward teenager is staring you down! It would be scary if he didn't look nervous as all hell. He'll be twice as embarrassed as soon as he realizes he has no idea how the hell to work this damn phone. AWKWARD CONFESSION TO ALL OF PROPSERO GO. ]

U-uh, hey. Amagai-sen-- no, Y-Yukiko.

Uhm, I was wondering...

I mean, it's kind of sudden and all but...

Geez, why is this so hard?

Ugh, forget it. I didn't say anythin-- no, I can't be like that.

Yukiko, I--

That is, would you, I mean, if you're not busy, or doing anything else, or have anyone else, or anything like that.... uhm...

Would you be my...

my...

V-Valentine?

[ holy shit he finally said it but oh god the blushing he's just going to cover his face with THE MOST ADORABLE PLUSHIE OF THIS PANDA DOG YOU'VE EVER SEEN. And yes, he made it himself. Which is pretty much why he's been so silent these past few weeks. Oops. ]

I-I mean, if you don't, that's... that's okay too, I guess. I... er... just, let me know.

[Action]

[playpurrtend]

[There is a girl who has set up shop in the park. The small stand has a sign at the top.]

FEELINGS AND PROBLEMS

[She even avoided writing 'purroblems'. That is how professional she is right now.

The doctor is in.]

Huit (Video/Forward dated to Saturday morning)

[fractured_white]

*Hey, anybody remember that jerk that went on something of a rampage last week and then disappeared? Or just wondering what happened to that white haired troll that hasn't pestered anyone all week? Well, he's back now, and looking pleased with himself, if tired.*

Ahhh, the sweet reprieve of death is indeed rest for the soul. Yo, Nigredo, I hope I didn't miss anything important while I was out. Care to fill me in?

*After a moment of thought, he adds on.*

And a couple of you might be relieved to know that I'm a fair bit saner than the last time we spoke.
