So.

[Crowley is in his apartment, carefully turning something over in his hand. It's a silver knife -- and Crowley is wearing gloves so it doesn't burn him -- but why he has such a thing is beyond anyone's guess. Maybe Crowley just feels like being particularly creepy today. Who knows. Who gives a shit. Not Crowley, that's for sure.]

I thought someone had been feeding my dog something particularly disgusting, as apparently she's gained something of a fanclub within the Port, because she's gained weight. And not only has she gained weight, but she's been eating copious amounts of small fuzzy kittens lately, which is putting a damper both on my budget and my carpet.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case, because some insipid insect within the Port has decided it would be funny to impregnate my dog. Now --

[Crowley will just allow the importance of that statement to fall upon the ears of his loyal and adoring public for a moment before he continues speaking.]

Whoever did this has two options. They can speak now or forever hold their peace. Either way, their eyeballs will be ripped from their sockets and dangled from my windowsill as a warning to anyone else stupid enough to screw my dog.

Cheers.

If anyone has seen or heard anything from Blaine Anderson please let me know. He has been missing for more than a day now.

He hasn't gone home; I know that for sure. I've attached a photo of him for those who haven't previously met him.

Here. His hair is black and curly and he's about 5'7" in height. He was wearing a red Ralph Lauren sweater and cropped jeans.

Thank you.

- What are you doing for Valentine's Day, Siren's Port? Ready for a special night? Want only the best for your darling? How about a glamorous evening on the waterfront? Well, you're in luck! A romantic Valentine's Day dinner, entertainment, and dance will be hosted especially for couples by a special guest from Xino E. Mao Corporation's public relations department and sponsored by AGI at the Grey Line, after sirens. Put on your evening gowns and tuxedos for a magical event provided for you and your special someone free of charge.

- Funtom Toys & Bakery is discounting as assorted collection of specially designed holiday treats for Valentine’s Day, with all plush items are on sale till Monday, including the shop’s popular mascot- Bitter Rabbit. All orders may be placed by telephone or in person.

- Hurry now and don’t be stupid, cupid! Spice things up with a little roleplay in your love life! There are still V-day vacancies at The Queen’s Throne & Fantasy Hotel! Book your room and costume packages today!

- ...and speaking of roleplay, Nulls and Norms, a newly released pen & dice tabletop gaming system, has sold over 1000 copies this week. Sector 4’s Eclectic Collections Gaming Shop was interviewed about the fad, which is catching on wildfire for something typically viewed as “an escapist fantasy played by unwashed 30 year olds living in their parent’s basements.” However, it appears the imagination and attention of the city’s youth has been captured by the sample adventure scenario, which involves escaping the island of Siren’s Port and exploring the world beyond. The shop is still offering a NetVice code to download the FREE preview scenario and basic rulebook, packaged with pre-rolled sample characters, when you purchase a 10 pack of dice from the shop. Can you take the challenge and survive...without powers?!

[Phibrizzo looks mildly grumpy. He's rapidly reaching the conclusion that he dislikes human holidays - except for Halloween. Halloween is acceptable. This holiday that focuses on love and romance? That's not. Of course, it doesn't help that he's not only not capable of those emotions, but that being in the presence of them makes him feel nauesous. Still, he has to maintain his innocent act. Fortunately, he's noticed that some boys who are as young as he appears to be don't think much more highly of this holiday than he does.]

What do people do when they don't celebrate Valentines' Day and don't want to be around people who do?

[He's going to make sure he's well away from the Uzushio Ryokan tomorrow. That much is certain. But he is open to suggestions.]

I want to get away from all this...

[He tries to remember the exact wording he heard other children using for a second before it comes to him.]

...mushy stuff.

gotnodime

[ no, nobody is going crazy. that is most certainly a dog doing a rather showy strut, and humming a little tune to himself. surely people have seen stranger things though, especially in this place......

Dodger still has to get a feel for this strange place he was thrown into. not much more dangerous than the streets of the big easy, frankly.

although--

taking a whiff of the nearest person's butt has just been checked off his to-do-list at least. ]

ooc;; first time that i've been able to post here. just let me know if i need to change anything fdghkdf

[Diego sits on his couch, looking over a rather large stack of paperwork set on the end table to his left. In front of him, the coffee table holds six white ceramic mugs, all in addition to the one mug he is sipping out of.]

February has that way of changing the scenery-- a little dimmer than January, but a bit easier to navigate than the hustle and the bustle of the holidays. A white carpet, tinged gray, rolled out on the way to spring.

[...whatever that means. He takes a sip.] Quite a few new souls floating around our little corner of paradise, lately. Such a gathering from different worlds and times... so I figured I might as well make an introduction just in case anybody was confused.

[A timed, dramatic pause.] Prosecutor Diego Armando. And I'm the man you'll be pleading with eventually if you run afoul of the law around here.

[He sits up, gesturing to the massive stack of papers beside him.] This is what it looks like on my end when Newcomers get themselves in trouble. If I find your name on my desk, you're lucky-- you're not going to be ground to pieces by the system that hates you because of where you come from. I'll grant you a fair trial.

But that's all I'll grant you. I don't do favors, and I don't go easy. I especially don't want to see your name on my desk. You play nice, you stay out of trouble and mind the law-- however unfair you may feel it to be. If you need clarification, you can ask me or any other lawyer crawling around the city and we'll be happy to give you an explanation. And we won't even charge you for it.

[He grins, then sips from his coffee cup, long and lovingly. As he finishes the gulp he lowers the mug, swirls it once or twice and seems to be... communing with it as he swallows.]

On a more pleasant note, I've ground up a fresh batch of Blend #33, "The Black Rose of Passion." It's a dark roast, sublime in body, bitter and sweet all together with a finish of rose hips and cinnamon. Fine in an affogato, beautiful au lait, or perfect pitch black and pure-- a shadowy mistress as tender as a kitten and sharp as a knife... not unlike romance. Ha...!

If you're looking for a last-minute offering for a certain holiday tomorrow, I'm selling 20-ounce bags for a meager $10 each. Let me know if you're interested.

[A pause, then he glances at the camera and his smile quirks.]

Though you will follow the instructions I include with the bag, or you might as well brew a cup of dirt.

What a stupid idea for a holiday. I can't 8elieve people are seriously wasting time and money on it!
What's wrong with you? Are you humans just running out of ideas to make the rest of us sick to our protein sacs? I am soooooooo tired of seeing little cut out heart cards every time I just want to go out and get my gru8 on!
Oh w8, I have an idea!
How a8out we do a last pathetic lovesick human standing competition? You can sta8 each other with adora8le heart lances and wax poetic in your own pools of 8lood! Won't that 8e fun????????

(( OOC; She's not bitter and lonely at all, nope. Text opt out is always an option!! ))

[A very excited Flonne wearing a smile that could blind a man is on the camera. In her lap is a little rabbit that seems to be somewhere between content and ready to dash off at a moment's notice. She strokes its fur gently as she speaks.]

Love! I was really surprised when I found out that humans had an entire celebration about love. I have clearly underestimated the human world. I was under the impression that a lot of humans had forgotten how important love was, but then I find out about this 'Valentine's Day'. I don't know who or what a Valentine is, but it seems to mean something about love, so it is clearly a good thing! I was so happy to hear about this. Clearly, there is hope for the world yet!
