Around Town and the Dorms, Thursday Morning

[bigdamnprincipal]

Early in the morning, flowers began appearing on doorsteps all across Fandom.

Not magically though. That would be weird.

( Flowers! )

(Flowers, woo! If anything was missed, please let me know! Feel free to react in the comments, and happy Valentine's Day!)

Stark Industries, Thursday

When William went to open the shop today, he was confronted by a gremlin wearing a diaper and a pair of fuzzy fake wings.

Wielding a Nerf bow.

The gremlin shot at William, hitting him square in the chest, before snickering and running off. William was just gonna be thankful that wasn't a real arrow, because it looked like it was rather liberally dosed in gremlin venom. He didn't know what gremlin venom to the heart would do but he sort of doubted it would make him fall in love with the first person he saw.

Anyway, the shop was open and no worries, the gremlin was long gone.

Improv Class, The Boards, Thursday Evening

It was Valentine's Day! No, the basement wasn't decorated, except for the scattered two-person tables on the stage, ones that had chairs on either side. In deference to the theme, the pastries from J,GoB were delightfully heart-shaped, and Lizzie was wearing a deep red blouse; that was as close as they were going to get.

"Congratulations," she announced, "you all have dates for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, they're blind dates, and ... well. I'm sure all of you know how blind dates go? You sit down across from someone who is completely insane and wonder how badly your friends must secretly hate you, to pair you up with this specimen."

Lizzie had been on some bad dates, yes. Many. Maaaany.

"So you're going to pair off and be each other's horrible blind dates. What exactly is your malfunction? You'll be drawing that from a hat. Be charming, or be hideous, or try your best to be charming while being hideous. Just be creative and have fun with it."

She and Jono had had plenty of fun coming up with the bad date characteristics. Trust them on that.

Café Fina, Thursday Evening

[one-for-vanity.livejournal.com]

Tonight, the lights in the restaurant were all turned off, turning each table into a private island that extended only as far as the light of the small candle lighting it. The sweet smell of roses filled the air, mixing with the mouthwatering aromas wafting from the kitchen. The dishes's usual song-and-dance routines were set aside for the evening, replaced by soft violin music and the occasional ballad.

The Salt-Cellar and Pepper Pot were standing in the kitchen door, surveying their handiwork proudly, when Porthos came up behind them and threw an arm across each of their shoulders. "Ahh, love!" he sighed wistfully.

"Ahh, love!" they replied.

Cafe Luke's, Thursday

The restaurant was decked to the nines today, a full rainbow of hearts posted on the walls and hanging from the ceiling, including an entire set in neutrals (Priestly was not here to judge anyone's love preferences). Priestly himself was wearing one of the great t-shirts that Dinah had sent him.

You had your OTPs, Priestly had his.

Happy Valentine's Day! Kenzi had several roses from Toby twined in her hair, chocolate-enhanced booze, and little bowls of conversation candies everywhere, for the terminally shy among you. Or anyone with the munchies.

Extreme Valentine
Chocolate Valentine
Valentined

And, of course,

Lonely Night

if you just don't give a damn.

Kenzi had almost-free drinks for her friends, especially the ones she didn't get flowers for. Which still meant Toby drank free too.
