[Nope

nope nope

nope nope nope he remembers this--he remembers just what happens around here when Luceti has their lovey dovey spell things, or whatever the heck you wanna call it. Heck, he even called it his first year. It's why he's on the screen immediately with the realization of what time of the year it is, making a big X with his arms and hands.]

Oh no--noooo way! I already know what's gonna happen.

[... but... Kotetsu. People will love and laugh. No fighting! Just think of that, dude.]

I mean, it's good to get some love in your life... [NO STAND FIRM, YOU'RE ALL FOR FREEDOM] But no thanks, I'm not in any mood for the magical cupid stuff they pull on us. That kinda sucks all the fun outta' being in love! Do these malnosso guys have that much trouble finding it, they gotta use everyone else as guinea pigs? It's not like it's that hard to find; love just kinda comes naturally to you! Or it gets kidnapped by your rival and you gotta go save it from exploding warehouses... and punches you in the stomach....

... Okay, sometimes it doesn't always come naturally, but isn't some of the coolest parts seeing how it unfolds? Without the magic stuff involved.

[DASTARDLY MALNOSSO, MAKING THEM... LOVE EACH OTHER....

Okay, not the worst villain power, but. But still.]

... I guess--there's that saying... love conquers all? It's better than all of us suddenly hating each other's guts, huh? Right?

But then everyone's mad after it's over, so it doesn't really matter...

[Whelp, you know the drill—time to throw on the apron and help out around the Seventh Heaven. That's pretty much a norm now; how he ended up serving plates and not just cleaning dishes is... really beyond him. But he'll be around. Taking out trash, sweeping, serving, whatever the hell he's pointed to do. Hopefully the day will be... mostly uneventful? One could only hope.]

((ooc: despite the dorky title, kotetsu is free from any effects! until the hot spring log, anyway. but open for everything anyway!))

Ah... well, I kinda wish they'd go about it all a little differently with their stupid shifts. We have enough problems without making love one of 'em too, right??

I wish they wouldn't create any at all, unless it was a way for us to leave this place. [ One year later and she's Vaguely Okay with Luceti, but she'd still be on the first bus to get the hell out of here. ]

I mean, I never get hit by the Valentines day tradition but the fall out and the actual shift itself will never cease to irritate me.

You and me both... [stupid shifts] I don't even see why we have to have shifts in the first place! What's it even getting done??

Well, they say they're all a failed experiment to get us home but I don't believe that. I appreciate the lesser shifts, like the ones that fill the grocery with food.

Yeah, yeah, they say that like it's easy to believe. Why would we have such perfect shifts for the different holidays? They just like watching us freak out...

[grumble grumble old man grumble]

Yeah! Valentine's day had a golden opportunity! It could have rained chocolates from the sky that don't make you all horny and weird and everything! [ What would she give for raining, normal chocolate...

Watch as by the end of the thread they make the Luceti Grumbler's Association. ]

[horny and weird

difjsldfj sputter]

R-right.

Chocolate might be a little heavy to fall from the sky, though...

I don't think it'd be. I mean, most of them are light enough to where getting hit in the head wouldn't really be an obstacle, unless you don't find chocolate delicious. But then your opinions shouldn't be taken into consideration. [ She says that totally deadpan. ]

[Ha...ha...]

You're really into chocolate, aren't ya...

It's delicious. [ She pauses. ] You really like heavy, obvious humor, don't you? [ Tenten: she's not particularly sensitive. ]

.... Obvious humor would be the best...

[YOU'RE A STRANGE CHILD]

Obviousness isn't the best all the time! Sometimes, subtlety is a great gift! Deadpan sarcasm and all of that, you know? [ She has two really really "only the obvious" teammates. Do you know what she'd give for people to be more receptive to subtlety!? ]

Sounds more like my partner's style, if y'ask me...

[Dry deadpan humor. Eugh. He had a hard time telling when Bunny is serious or not. Or both. He's not even sure.]

Your partners style? [ Does he mean boyfriend....? No, no, no that'd be ridiculous. He just finished talking about his wife! ] I didn't know your wife had a dry sense of humor. I wonder how the kidnappers dealt with that. [ Tenten knows she'd quip at everything as she is getting kidnapped. ]

Oh--uh, no no, my wife passed away a few years ago, back home.

[wait that's depressing

keep going, kotetsu]

I mean my partner, like... we're a duo. A fighting duo!

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. [ She won't question it further. She rather not get this dude sad. ]

So you have a teammate that's kinda like me? [ ...Tenten is now starting to get Really Bad Ideas. ] Are they here right now?

... They were a while back ago, but then they went home.

Which is good, right? Better to be the place you're s'pposed to be.

I guess. Sometimes people think they belong here, and, from what I've heard about some of the worlds, I really don't blame them. What type of fighting do you and your partner do? [ Still getting really bad ideas... ]

Oh! We're heroes. [...] We, uh, used to fight crime! Arrest criminals! That kinda thing.

Really? I do that sometimes! I'm a ninja, so I'm employed for my village's benefit. This means anything from rescuing cats stuck in trees to taking out bad guys! [ Do you know where this might be going Kotetsu.... ]

[Considering Kotetsu, he has no clue where anything goes ever 90% of the time. So.]

Aa, stuff like that! We keep the peace. Through bank robbers and kidnappers and all those kinds of crooks behind bars.

Are you still in business here? [ There's a light, almost deceptive, giggle to her tone. ]

Heh.... I'm not really too sure, yet, to tell you the truth...

What? Why aren't you sure?! That's the first thing you usually figure out when you're here!

I mean--I was retiring back home, but... this place is a lot different from home, so--I'm not really totally sure! But maybe not...?

[god he doesn't know]

I just wanna help everyone out, y'know? Retired or not, I guess I'm hero-ly enough!
