The park [afternoon]

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, Valentine's Day. A time of chocolate, of flowers, of tiny lacy things...

...of gremlin-bite pirates parading through town wearing naught but a towel and brandishing a Nerf bow and arrow set.

"Come 'n feel the love!" Barbossa-who-thinks-he's-Cupid cried to the general population.

The squirrels? Totally had the cameras rolling.

[OOC: Come! Boggle!]

There was Amber, suddenly standing still, and boggling. Lots and lots of boggling.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Barbossa traipsed through the field and giggled.

It was all kinds of disturbing.

"Do ye need t' find true love today?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

It was very much disturbing in a oh my gosh I can't look away, sort of way.

"I..." Do not look at the towel Amber!

"I... don't know?"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"I should shoot ye, just in case," Cupid said wisely, hitching up his towel and brandishing his Nerf bow at her. "I never miss!"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Oh my gosh," Amber stood in stunned silence. Or horror. Whichever one seemed more noticable expression wise. And she looked on, at the Nerf bow, and let out a snort of a chuckle. "Okay, that's kinda cute."

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"So that's yes, then?" Cupid checked.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Yah, you betcha. Shoot me. It's Valentine's Day and this might be the highlight of my day!"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid winked at her, then aimed an arrow at her ass.

Sometimes even gremlin venom wasn't strong enough to hold in the essential Barbossa-ness.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber saw the arrow coming, it's just that she didn't have the good sense to move, so it popped her in the rear and she gasped, cupping her butt cheek. If only the cupid was cute, it might have meant something more than just getting shot in the ass.

"Should I expect true love now?"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid nodded solemnly. "The next person you see."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber smiled at the cupid. It was kind of a disgusting cupid, but she was sure he meant well. "Thank you!" She looked down at the arrow that was now laying on the ground by her feet. "You want your arrow back so you can, uh, reuse it?"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"It's very important t' recycle," Cupid said with another nod. "Off ye go!"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber tossed the arrow back because she wasn't getting close, then she turned and skipped off, not really expecting to find true love.

It was a nice thought though.

And that would be Dick covering his eyes like something that was covered. Or should be covered. Like Barbossa.

"Um, boss?" Dick asked. "You wanna put some pants on?"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Cupid's parts should be as free and unfettered as love be!" Cupid replied, skipping past Dick.

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"Siiiiiiiiiick," Dick groaned, still keeping his hands over his eyes.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Lovesick?" Cupid asked. "Do you need me to shoot you?"

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"You shoot me and I'll hurt you," Dick said.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid stuck out his lower lip and wibbled.

The squirrels took lots of pictures.

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"Oh jeez, fine," Dick said. "Hit me, Cupid."

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid grinned and aimed a Nerf arrow at Dick.

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

Thank god for Nerf and it's squishiness. Dick just gave Cupid an "you are insane" look when he got hit with the arrow.

"Thanks," Dick said. "I'm sure I'll find love now."

Jack went out for walk. In the park. And ogods his eyes.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid waved as he leaped like a gazelle over a small bush.

In a towel.

Sorry.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack flailed as he covered his eyes like an ostrich with sandy fingers.

He made an appreciative noise. It sounded like this: "YEARRrararARrgh! What the hell!?"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"I am Cuuuuuuuuuuuuupid," Barbossa sang, "and this is a day of love."

Twirl, twirl, twirl.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Twirling was not helping, because the towel--

"For the love of God!" he exclaimed, facepalming so hard he saw stars.

[smartestone]

Hermione stopped where she was, staring, hoping this town had something like public decency laws.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Hello, lovelorn lass!" Cupid said, twirling towards her.

[smartestone]

"You can stay where you are, thanks," Hermione said, because if a guy wearing nothing but a towel was coming towards her and calling her a 'lovelorn lass', she was hexing him. Next best thing to mace, really.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid pouted. "But I'm Cupid and I be needin' t' shoot you!"

[smartestone]

"No, I think you need to step back and not shoot me or I'm calling the police," she told him.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid pouted some more. "Fine. Die loveless and alone," he sniffed.

[smartestone]

Hermione, being a seventeen-year-old girl no matter how you sliced it, took the opportunity to look outraged. "I am not going to die loveless and alone!" she said. "And put on some pants!"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Pants would just restrict the love!" Cupid sang.

[smartestone]

"...Oh my god. I'm running away now."

[woofbloodywoof.livejournal.com]

This guy was obviously completely Bursar. Or else he was a wossname, a semi-deific-type-figure. Either way, it wasn't worth bothering with the whole subterfuge thingy.

"What the bloody hell are you supposed to be?"

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"I'm Cupid!" Cupid crowed, dancing among the flowers.

That weren't there.

At all.

[woofbloodywoof.livejournal.com]

"Yer NUTS!"

[tinkerbitch.livejournal.com]

Tink stared.

And stared.

And stared.

This town kept getting weirder.

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Cupid blew her a kiss.

[tinkerbitch.livejournal.com]

Tink blew him a raspberry. The nerve!
