[ Erina only just barely skids to a halt as she's confronted, actively jogging on the spot like she's ready to go go go any minute. ]

Hey Alouette, sorry, no time to talk, I have to turbo murder Sara.

[cutcutcut]

I understand that, but if you could simply hold off on that for one moment...

[ With a deep sigh and a look on her face that's positively biting back pain, she tries her best to put on her most bashful smile. Come on, Aurelie: put those acting skills to good use. ]

Surely even you know what today is, don't you?

[ Reluctant as she is to part with it...this is the only way out of this situation, at least until someone more equipped to pull on Erina's leash gets involved. Until then... ]

For you. Joyeuse saint Valentin.

[ The chocolates in her hands look resplendent, in a heart shaped box with a clear window, as if to show off how fancy they are. ]

P...please accept my feelings.

[schoollifecub]

[ Ruu really doesn't know what to say. She half-expects Shion to suddenly titter at her and say oh, of course they're not all for Ruu, but... that's really not Shion's style. And sure enough, as she leans in... that's her name on every single one of them. Seriously, how long would something like this have taken? Just one chocolate like this must have been some effort so a whole heap of them like this...

Her grip on her own bag tightens a little as she considers the box still sitting in there and then swallows hard. She gives Shion a grin that's pleased, flustered, awed and a little rueful (yes, really) all at once. ]

I'm... yeah! I'm super happy! Jeez, you really made all these just for me... I dunno what to say!

[zweihandler]

for sure it's a real mystery

i was thinking of getting a private investigator in on it. you know any people.

"who is the dumbest possible choice here" I asked myself writing this

[in4apounding]

Mister Doo has mentioned solving mysteries a few times.

I think.

And you could probably pay him in snacks.


[There's another, slightly longer pause between messages.]


wait don't detectives usually only investigate crimes though

[gioioso]

But you just said the perfect thing! Haruna, you're so silly!

[ Whether Shion is just too straightforward, too oblivious, or too single-minded, she doesn't seem to take in any of the more complex emotions behind Ruu's smile. What's important is that she's indeed smiling: she says that she's happy, and she wouldn't lie to her -- Ruu is way too nice to tell lies. All in all, a resounding success! ]

As long as you're happy, that's what's most important. It's what today's all about!

[ Not that it's too different from any other day for Shion, by that rationale. ]

mother of god

[zweihandler]

well yeah. this is a clear and present crime ain't it? they sent me a gun. that's a threat to my life, polendina.

[ this is so mean, but. she is physically incapable of not messing with Penny a little bit. ]

[zweihandler]

[ Erina – at last – stops. Like, full on freezes mid jog, balanced on one leg with the other still in the air, halfway through a step. It looks ridiculous. But her whole entire brain has run into an error and shut down, so you'll have to forgive her. ]

... Huh?

[ Her foot gradually makes a return to Earth. ]

Huh?! For me? Is this another fucking prank? How many of those are electrocuted.

[in4apounding]

[One more pause, almost palpable in its tension, before a barrage of individual texts.]

yes

yes it very obviously is

this is very serious

as your friend and bodyguard and definitely not someone who would mold chocolate into any kind of weapon ever i will personally investigate this

for you

and bring the perpetrator to valentine's justice

[schoollifecub]

[ As long as she's happy, huh? Jeez, somehow Shion always knows what to say. There's already a pink tinge high in her face, but Ruu feels herself growing steadily redder as she pulls in a breath and starts digging into her bag, tripping over her words the whole way. ]

I, um– since it's Valentines and I was making stuff for everyone, I– well, it's not as much as you made for me but I wanted to–

[ Give her a minute, she'll get there eventually. ]

[zweihandler]

you sure about that? i dunno if you've got the guts for it, penny. i've got a real gruesome punishment in mind for the person who laid this out.

[in4apounding]

[erina you are a cruel, cruel woman]

of course i'm gutsy enough
my guts are literally metal
metal guts
not squishy at all
and not panicking whatsoever



What punishment did you have in mind?

[gioioso]

Really?!

[ The bundle of chocolate in Shion's hands drops, with the sound of crinkling plastic hitting the tile floor at their feet. She needs both hands to wrap Ruu in an embrace -- she can't pull her arms around her and hug her, if her hands are full.

Thankfully, none of the chocolate inside looks like it breaks too too terribly, but Shion doesn't appear too concerned with that. After all, she can always make more. ]

Oh, thank you, thank you! Haruna, you're the best! Thank you for thinking of me!

[ She doesn't even get a chance to see what Ruu made for her: the fact that she was special enough in her eyes to make her a gift at all is more than enough. ]

[heofon]

Your eyes don't deceive you, Sophie. You're looking at Sir Cattleya now.

[ She put her hand on her hip and pushes her chest out. The horse and the new outfit are not exclusive to the knight class, so Cattleya flaunts a golden badge on her arm, with the symbol of the knightly order proudly emblazoned on it. She blushes as a soft smile etches on her lips, all of her hard work and determination got her this prestige, and letting Sophie know about it felt like the final necessary step to make it all feel complete.

But that bravado is short-lived, as her triumphant pose softens as the pink on her cheeks brighten. The certainty in her eyes turned to a shifty mess, unable to look at Sophie for longer than a second as she utters: ]

W-Well? How do I look?

[zweihandler]

homoerotic sword fight. possibly at sunset? we'll see how the schedule works out.

[schoollifecub]

Huwhoa–

[ Okay, she should probably be used to this by now given that Shion is... Shion, but she's still a little startled. She manages to hold onto her bag at least, but with Shion hugging her, she can't carry on rooting around for the promised chocolate. Not that she's complaining, of course, because it's never a bad time to get a hug from Shion. ]

Jeez, did you think I'd just forget you on Valentine's of all days? Uh, it's not as cute as the ones you made but I promise it'll taste good!

[in4apounding]

[There is a long, long delay.]

So you're going to seduce them, make them fall in love, and then kill them.

That's


fitting

I guess

[gioioso]

I dunno! I've never celebrated Valentine's before! And no one's ever given me one! You're the first one!

[ Not that the look or the taste of Ruu's chocolate really matters to her, one way or another. It could be burned to a crisp and taste as bitter as salt, and Shion would be overjoyed to take it, all the same.

And it's not even because she doesn't need to eat food-- ]

So it's super special, you know! Just like you're super special!

[zweihandler]

what? no

penny i'm inviting you to have a homoerotic sword fight with me

[schoollifecub]

[ Oh god, she can't take this much direct praise from Shion. She's so red in the face, she looks like a tomato. She blows up, letting her bangs flutter up and off her forehead and generally tries to look a little more cool and in control than she actually feels. ]

At least wait until you actually try the stuff before you say that...! [ Not that there's any point to her protests when she knows better than anyone how much Shion is Like This. ] Here, let me go so I can give it to you.

[summerbloom]

[ Though she knows Cattleya's worked so hard to achieve this, believes in her with all her heart, there's still a tiny part of Sophie that'd been convinced something would go terribly wrong – and of course, the more she'd had that thought, the more she'd been convinced that having it would somehow jinx Cattleya's chances and if she failed, it would be all Sophie's fault.

So when the relief of knowing that after all that work Cattleya really did succeed washes over her, it's enough to bring a shine of tears to Sophie's eyes. ]

I knew you'd be able to do it, but... I'm so glad... I'm so glad...!

[ She has to wipe her eyes – they're shimmering with tears enough to cloud her vision and she wants to make sure she sees Cattleya in her full splendour. She sniffs and passes her arm over her eyes before giving Cattleya a smile that can only be called radiant. ]

You look wonderful! It's exactly what you deserve after all your work!

[gioioso]

O-kay!

[ She seems to take that as an order -- she plops Ruu back down to get settled, and waits patiently with an enthused smile on her face, rocking on her heels. She'll get to the bundle on the floor at her feet eventually (probably when she decides it would make Ruu happy to), but there are far more important matters at hand! ]

Do you need a drumroll? Hang on, I've got it!

[ She pantomimes the effect with the pointer fingers on both hands, but even if she's not playing an actual drum, she sure is...making the sounds....... ]

[in4apounding]

I

what




erina thank you but
I can't help you execute this person



this person is me
I'm sorry
i confess

2/2

[in4apounding]

OR WAIT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNEW

[schoollifecub]

[ Ruu swallows down her embarrassment – or at least, does her best to – as she reaches into her bag and extracts her gift for Shion. She's doing her best to look cool and unaffected as she holds it out, but her gaze is going anywhere but directly at Shion's face.

It's a single heart-shaped chocolate, just big enough to fill Ruu's hand. The surface is uneven, glossy in some places and rough in others and the icing - hand drawn decorations and a wobbly attempt at writing out Shion's name - is similarly all over the place. But it's undeniably handmade and she clearly worked hard. ]

H... here. Happy Valentine's Day.
