Hood up, eyes forward, hands in pockets, and mind filled with images of little serpentine boys and girls slithering around happily, Ieria made her way down the lively streets of Vale. No clear destination in mind, just wandering more than anything. Before long, she caught sight of a familiar face in the crowd, Raqib, and waved to him before making her over to the flirt.
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperThe Not Date
Remus was in the weapon shop with Chelsea, looking with her at the over the top weapon. This is really going to take a lot of work... There was Seth, and now there's... Remus looked at the cat faunus who had asked him out on this not date. Miss Oblivious here... and she still doesn't know that we kissed...
In the Streets
Raqib's mood drastically improved as Ieria approached him. "And what is a beautiful warrior like yourself doing alone on such a lovely day, my dear? Taking a break from shooting down the hopes of lesser men?"
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValIeria shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "I have not been approached by one yet. So no chances yet." She said as she placed her hands in your pockets. "And yourself?"
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperPius sat at a table outside, swirling a cup full of chocolate milk as he munched on a heart-shaped grilled-cheese sandwich. He felt a little emptier in his existence, what with Dies Irae still over at Dorm Rose and his pencil obliterated by the blast he had caused this morning.
But deeper than that was the realization that a whole school week had passed, and Pius had done very little in reality to really connect with his teammates as their leader. It was unavoidable; Pius, the introverted heir of the Nobel house, was struggling with socializing like his siblings did so easily. The fact that he was alone on one of those days in the year where socialization was especially celebrated did little to lift his spirits.
"Pi! What're you doing here?" A familiar voice broke through his contemplative silence, and Pius remembered that he wasn't the only adopted Nobel who would be wandering the streets of Vale on Lovers' Day.
"Innocent?"
Pius' youngest brother, by several months, stood before him, eyebrows raised at seeing his shut-in older brother in the outside world without his iconic items. Innocent was a redhead from the Industrial District, with brown eyes that spoke of an early life filled with dirt and criminal strife. He was dressed in jeans and wore a black hoodie over an orange t-shirt, all of which were rather worn for a Nobel. His own weapon hung off of his back, a chainsaw axe that could transform into a triple-barrel elephant gun known as Fleshstripper. It appeared crude, but he and his siblings knew that he could make it more efficient than the most well-polished weapon that Schnee Dust could provide.
"Yeah it's me, bro." Innocent replied, sitting down across from Pius. "I'm out here, scoping potential prey."
"You and your terms, Innocent." Pius snarked, remembering the skirt-chaser that Innocent was. "You can't just call women 'prey'."
"I can if they wanted to be hunted." The redhead added a perverted tone to his voice, to which Pius replied with a kick to the shin.
"Ow, Pi! Geez, what's got you so worked up? I thought you were living it up over at Beacon."
"I'm fine, Innocent." Neither of them really believed the gray-eyed youth's words, and Pius sipped some chocolate milk to try to forget that. "It's just...being a team leader is pretty difficult."
"Oh, you made team leader?" Innocent asked, subconsciously shifting into the manner that he and his siblings went into when one of them was about to tell a story.
"Yeah, I did. It went a little like this—" If any of Pius' dorm-mates found him there, they would see him chatting with Innocent as if he'd never left home, for once in their eyes appearing completely comfortable with his company.
Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...Some of the people at the festival might notice a little booth with a sign saying "LOVER'S DAY PICTURES — ONLY 10 LIEN!" At the booth is a young man with blond hair, working on arranging some examples.
"Maybe this could go here? No, there's too much of a contrast between these two, maybe I should place this one here..."
Olivia licked her ice cream, happy but still very awkward. The date with Seth had gone on well enough, but it seemed they could not have an extended conversation without being awkward.
Seth was fucking terrified. He had absolutely no idea what the hell he was doing. Was he supposed to talk to her more, or hold her hand or what-! He had no clue what people did on dates.
Olivia noticed the booth. She tugged at Seth's arm and shyly pointed at it.
"You want to take a picture?"
She blushed and nodded.
Barry followed Set and Olivia towards the booth, he had been following them all day just in case he needed to perform an emergency castration. Trying to remain discreetly out of sight while glaring murderously was somewhat harder than it looked but he had managed so far.
/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ Will you make a contract with me?Right around where Pius would be with his brother, Tara would be strolling along, a bit bummed out because she apparently slept through a rather fun night. Oh well Lovers Day, which meant she could fool around a bit.
The graceless warrior, wielder of the edgeless blade, prophet of the old religions, writer of fluent nonsense, saviour of soul and song."Geez, Pi," Innocent said with a laugh. "How many times did you have to help out that princess?"
"From my count, at least three times," Pius replied with a small smile, taking one last sip of his chocolate milk. "My partner can be pretty stubborn sometimes."
"Stubborn? I would've expected her to die getting to Beacon! You could probably bounce rocks off of her pride!"
"The thought has occurred to me now and then. And the strange thing is, she got more distant from us again after my duel. It's like everything we had gone through was erased from her mind."
"Looks like you have something to talk about with your date."
"Yes, I have to talk to her. No, having her as my partner does not mean Urujauni is my 'partner.'"
"I don't know, Pi. You're not feeling even a little thirsty around her?"
"No, Innocent; I don't think my sex drive is as ravenous as yours or Sarah's."
"Well—" Then Innocent saw Tara walking towards them. "Oh. Hello, hello, hello."
"No, Innocent. You don't just pick up random gir-aaaand he's walking away." Pius sulked in his seat as Innocent got up and walked towards Tara.
"Hello there. Is that naturally white hair on your head?" Pius pinched the bridge of his nose as he waited for Innocent's failure.
When will that boy realize that he is not Sarah...?

The graceless warrior, wielder of the edgeless blade, prophet of the old religions, writer of fluent nonsense, saviour of soul and song.Seth looked at th the man. "Yeah...we want a picture." He wondered if Barry would murder him in his sleep if he could. He had to get a lock installed.
Olivia nodded, clinging to Seth's arm. They were both deliberately ignoring the very obvious stalkers following them.
And suddenly someone collided with Innocent. The girl had been running at top speed and had not seen the young man.
She was sent sprawling to the ground.
"Oh, Vacuo?" The redhead replied to Tara. "I hear that Vacuo means 'empty,' so what do you say to me filling you u-"
"AGH!" Innocent cried as his five-three frame was knocked over. "Ugh, dafuq?" He rubbed his head, used to these kinds of impacts, before realizing that his striker was on the ground too.
"Oh, shi—uh, shoot!" He exclaimed as he moved to help her up. "You alright? Are you hurt?"
Pius remained seated, watching the whole thing occur with raised eyebrows and an amused smirk.
Oh, how I miss my life at the Nobel estate with these people. He thought as he reminisced. I don't think I'd know how to laugh without them.

"Oh, all Grimm-covered HELLS, I mean force him to swallow it!" Rufus actually showed a bit of irritation. He exclaimed it!
