Valentine's Day already, huh? I remember thinking it was a pretty gross holiday, when I was a little kid. I just liked getting candy from the teachers, most of the time, so I guess I couldn't complain too much.

[He's cautious when he says it, but he sounds pretty okay with things; in fact, he's thinking fondly--it's probably obvious by the look on his face; this day hasn't held much meaning to him personally for the last few years. The first few after Tomoe died were... depressing, yeah, but the ones after were simply normal days. Go to work, do his job, go home, sleep, and the day was done. Still, it didn't mean he wasn't susceptible to memories.

He recalls on occasion how hard he tried to be impressive on Valentine's Day for her, but... they never really worked out more than once or twice. Still. He holds those days very close to him.]

I guess it's not as much fun when your other half is back home, huh? Maybe people can make them some cards and keep 'em put away, on the off chance you'll get to give it to 'em someday. Aa, and anyone who's got their significant other here, give them something nice to remember for today, huh?

...



[Aaaand finally a sour face. He just realized something. I know, I know, it's impressive.]

The malnosso... I'm guessing they won't like Valentine's Day either.

N-naa... Maybe everyone should enjoy their romantic evenings in bunkers?

[But more importantly, stuff to do today! He goes over to Barnaby's to visit--for some reason, he's got this weird urge to cook him breakfast. Probably because he owes him one. After this ordeal (which will probably be super weird and confusing for this poor oyaji bastard), he's going to go to the grocery store to buy some veggies or whatever. 

But he sort of ends up... like... staring down the chocolates aisle with a zombie face. ~_~]

Oh? Sounds like the Hero type. You wouldn't be a cop back home, now would you?

[wildkotetsu]

Actually... I kinda' was a Hero back home. Secret identities and everything.

[doubleppk]

Oh?? Sugoi... Pleasure to meet you then! What city?

[wildkotetsu]

[Sugoi... Is she noting my race. :|a

Not a first for 'im, at least!]

Oh, I'm from a place called Sternbild! No one seems to know about it, though.

[doubleppk]

[She's Japanese too. "Secretly." Though not really secret given her own name.]

Yeah... can't say I've heard of it either, but you know how different worlds are. What's your super power? Or is that too rude to ask?

[wildkotetsu]

I can multiply my physical attributes by 100! Things like speed and strength! Though it's got a time-limit to it.

[doubleppk]

Whoa! Pretty nifty though. Can you stop bullets? Or a train!

[wildkotetsu]

Definitely bullets! I've been shot a few times to attest to that kinda' thing! I think I can stop trains--but I haven't really had to, before; stopped a monorail once, though...

[doubleppk]

What really?! [She was totally just trolling... huh.]

Remind me to never get on your bad side. I guess that would sort of make your job pretty easy.

[wildkotetsu]

Maaa, you don't gotta worry much about that!

It can be easy sometimes, but most of the time you got really persistent bad guys who also happen to have powers. It can make things a little complicated.

[doubleppk]

That does seem to be how superhero stories go. Anyone interesting?

[wildkotetsu]

Well... There were a group of sisters who could smell stuff; one smelled danger, and one smelled money, and the last one was... lies, or something like that.

We get some weird ones like them.

[doubleppk]

She could smell money?

[Instantly focused on that.]

[wildkotetsu]

Yep! We were trying to trick her with a bag fulla' paper, but she sniffed it out, I guess!

[doubleppk]

Why would you try to trick her? That's not nice to do to a girl you know.

[wildkotetsu]

'Cause she was a crook who kidnapped my friend and a innocent baby! We had to get 'em back somehow without getting anyone hurt!

Only it didn't really go as planned. But at least it had a good ending to it!

[doubleppk]

She kidnapped a baby? That's pretty crazy.

What happened?

[wildkotetsu]

Well, it was the mayor's baby, and they were tryin' to get a lump of cash outta' us. But luckily, the other heroes and I busted into their secret warehouse and got the kid outta' there!

...

Of course, the warehouse kinda got destroyed in the process. But none of that was my fault!

[doubleppk]

That's a dumb way to get cash. I thought you said she could smell money?

Why would it be your fault? [Starting to form an impression here...]

[wildkotetsu]

[OH SHI--]

A-ah, no reason! I'm just sayin'!

[cough]

I guess they weren't very good kidnappers, huh? Now they're in prison, so I guess that doesn't really matter.

[doubleppk]

I guess they deserve it if they're going to go around kidnapping babies.

[wildkotetsu]

Well, yeah! That's just vile, kidnappin' innocent babies! Bet they didn't expect the kid to be a NEXT, though!

[doubleppk]

A what?

[wildkotetsu]

A NEXT! Y'know, people born with powers, like me, or those criminals?

[doubleppk]

Sorry. Never heard of it. Are there a lot of NEXT here?
