Happy Valentines! (Open to all!)

[mnementomori]

[soooo you all remember the robot cafe, right? Well, even if you don't, they've decided to announce their holiday specials, since it is a special day! The little mechanical creatures have emerged from Antikythera and are distributing flyers as well as sample chocolates, and even small fruity drinks to those who are old enough. But as some veterans might warn you, they're not ordinary treats...]

Chocolates

Milk Chocolate | Some people think classics are the best! This might help you warm up to people a little, if you usually have trouble.

Dark Chocolate Caramel | Kind of a sticky situation...you've touched someone, but now you can't let go! Maybe a little kiss will loosen things up.

Key Lime Ganache | Sometimes you need a little zing. When you look at her, it's like it's for the first time. There's a spark there that wasn't there before.

Raspberry Creme | Girls just wanna have...cuddle time? Sometimes it's enough just to be close. Warms your heart, doesn't it?

Cashew Turtle | Talk about awkward? You want to tell her how you feel! But you just can't find the right words...in fact, you keep tripping over them.

White Chocolate | I wanna hold your, I wanna hold your ha-a-a-a-and...


Drinks

Amarula and Eve* | It's sweet, like a kiss. Maybe it could use a little tongue. And once you start, you just don't want to stop...

Godiva Royale* | Chocolate is so decadent. That's how you want her to feel, decadent. You'll do anything to make this the best day she's ever had.

Black Angel* | Feeling a little dangerous? Take a trip on the wild side. Try something you haven't before. If you know what I mean.

Cupid's Kiss* | Oh I'd like to get to know you, yes I would...er. In the biblical sense. No shame in that. Maybe by the end of the night we'll even be on a first-name basis.

*Adults only, please use discretion

{ooc: since, you know, the holiday, I figured an open post was in order, so feel free to post an individual thread for your character or tag around! Also feel free to make up more sweets + side effects. If a thread gets NSFW please either move it to another post or mark it in the subject line! Also it might help to put some preferences in your initial comment/subject if you do or don't want something specific.}

Comments

Castiel | Supernatural

[whenyoucall]

[she's searched the whole Garden twice over and found no trace of the Queen. The edges of the place make her feel strangely queasy--her instincts say that much raw chaotic energy is not to be trifled with. She is a creature of law and order--despite her rebellion, despite everything. She decides on a tactical retreat, to think. Actually, she's been standing in the same spot all morning and afternoon. A rabbit wandered by and nibbled on the bottom hem of her coat, and the only time she moved was to shoo it away.]

[now there are small metal automatons everywhere, bearing trays. One trundles up to her, letting loose a mechanical inquiry even she can't understand. She looks at the little colored shot glasses it offers.]

I don't require sustenance.


(ooc: Cass is just...awkward, and is here for silliness more than romance. But feel free to bug her.)

[Aerith's in a very good mood, and when she catches sight of Castiel, she can't help but grin. The woman looks so lovely today, and Aerith's so happy to see her. She can't stop herself from running up to give her a big hug.

But a careful hug, as she already has some chocolates in her hands: raspberry and key lime. She doesn't want to get chocolate all over Castiel.]

Just because you don't have to eat, doesn't mean you shouldn't! They taste good. Here, try one.

[She backs up and holds out a hand, offering up her chocolates.]

[whenyoucall]

[the angel doesn't move, tolerating the hug. She's actually a little bewildered by it, but it's difficult to tell, because she always looks a little bewildered.]

[she has to concede that it's true--her brush with Famine had taught her a lot about food. And maybe she is a little...curious. Chocolates aren't burgers.]

[no, wait. Isn't Aerith acting a bit strange? Then again, she was friendly from the beginning. But she hadn't initiated physical contact before. Is it because it's their second meeting? Her own human...friends...yes, they were friends--had only touched her on the shoulder, or supported her when she was weak. She's not sure what to make of this.]

[humans are confusing.]

You're in high spirits. [she finally voices an observation.] Aren't these offerings too small to satisfy anyone? I'm not entirely certain these automatons understand how to provide for living creatures.

[inflorescent]

[Aerith doesn't mind that Castiel doesn't return the hug. She continues to offer up her chocolates.]

I am, aren't I? I don't know why. I'm in such a good mood for some reason. Maybe because it's a beautiful day. Everything seems beautiful right now. And everyone.

[She gazes at Castiel as she says this, finally taking her hand and pressing a chocolate into it lightly.

She shakes her head.]

No, silly. They're not supposed to be a meal. They're treats! You eat them because they taste good. And sometimes people feel guilty about eating them because of that, but that's part of the fun.

[whenyoucall]

[unfortunately Castiel isn't enough of an expert on human behaviour to figure out if this is suspicious or not. And since she has no reason to feel threatened, she doesn't pursue it.]

[this is probably a mistake.]

[she looks down at the chocolate.]

Guilt seems unnecessary.

[she studies it for a moment before she puts it in her mouth. It's raspberry. She's never tasted raspberry. Jenny Novak has, however, which is why she's able to identify it.]

Is this an attempt to lower our guard on the part of the enemy? [...and yet she's eating it anyway...she's never been taught not to talk with her mouth full.]
