20 [action/written]

[action]

[Experiment or not, Luceti's a strange sight when everyone's all lovey-dovey like this and Rise will probably glance quickly at the direction of all you couples as she hurries past with a paper bag and a pretty flower in her hair. Don't worry, she means nothing by that glance though it may be a bit passingly...envious?

Maybe it's just your imagination.

In any case, Caesar, Japan, Link and Kyon. you're getting a visitor today. Don't worry, she won't take up much of your lovey-dovey time. But if you aren't home (or if she doesn't run into you when she's out), she'll be leaving her gift all done up in curled bright ribbon and transparent wrapping in a tinier bag with a housemate of yours or if there's none, at your doorstep. Don't step on it now!]

[written, later/ filtered to Tear Grants]

[Well, she had some free time, so it's just as well that she'll try out this whole penpal thing that she'd been tasked to do. Hmm.]

Hihi! Rise Kujikawa here. How's your Valentine's Day been?

[There, that should be enough to start off on, right? Hey, she's even used proper punctuation here. It's a start!]

[Caesar is at home playing with his dog today, so he isn't very far from the front door when he hears a knock. He lazily stands up and goes to answer it, first feeling vaguely disappointed when he realizes it's just his friend, but then feeling... somewhat full of dread.

That's right, it was Valentine's Day, and Rise was probably... prepared. Great.

He tilts his head at her.]

Yes?

[Wow, you'd think that she's come to cut off your head, Caesar.]

You're still greeting people at your door like that.

[Even after a year. Sigh.]

[But that breaks into a smile again.]

Happy Valentine's Day, Caesar.

Is there some other way that I'm supposed to be greeting people? [Go ahead. Tell him he's wrong!!] Happy Valentine's Day, I guess.

That's more like it.

[For someone who's supposed to be clever, you sure are a slow learner, Caesar...!]

[Like he's supposed to know or care about these things...!]

I forgot it was today. Oops.

[of course he is...!]

What? How do you forget something like Valentine's day?

[...it's not like it's hard to ignore either. LOOK AT THAT PLAZA.]

Who remembers things they don't care about? [He knew it was coming up, but the date? Ehh. Of course, if she's come out here, it's probably not just to greet him, but he probably shouldn't say that...] Is there something we're supposed to do to celebrate?

[Sure, he got what it meant for lovers, but he never did quite figure out the significance for friends...]

[She's wearing such a disappointed look, Caesar. Can't you at least sound a bit more excited? Jeez.]

Well, I guess it's more of a big thing for the girls than for the guys.

But...here.

[> present: Star-shaped chocolate!]

[It's okay, Rise, you don't have to pretend to be surprised. He looks down at what she offers and blinks.

...cute but dangerous, most likely.]

For me?

Well, your name's on it, isn't it?

[Look, it's nicely written in icing right on top of the chocolate. Hey, she's master of aesthetics.]

So it is. [All of this stuff only makes it seem more suspicious... Still, he accepts the candy.] Thanks.

[He wonders how safe it is to eat. She's been doing decently with her cooking lately, but...]

[Well, best to make up your mind soon because she's looking pretty expectant here! Won't you at least try some of it, Caesar?]
