So, in the past few weeks I've been:

• Burnt, frozen -- twice! -- and  then screamed at so loudly that it felt like I was burning; which, lemme tell ya? Is murder on the ear drums,
• Slammed through a wall, then another wall, then a third and a fourth, all because I asked a suspiciously girl-shaped monster if she'd lost her way,
• Had to catch the same gang of crooks more times than I would've liked, and then had to watch them break out of prison and almost get eaten by what looked like a flock of fire hydrants with teeth. Yeah, time travel? Not cool when it's wild.
• Forced to squeeze pennies like I was trying to give the inside of hand a tattoo of good ol' honest Abe, which is just nuts. I mean, seriously -- I know we're in a recession and whatnot, but a gallon of milk is five dollars and I'm officially the most broke healthy person on the planet!

And now, Valentine's day is coming up. The big two-fourteen: bane of every single person and job-addicted superhero everywhere. I've got good memories of the day from back home, but truth be told? Manhattan is not the place you want to be come dusk on Valentine's day. Especially if you main mode of transportation is web swinging at a height of just high enough to not have to deal with all the lovey-dovey proclamations of, well, love; but, also not so high that you can't help but accidentally see couples in pent houses getting, ah -- well, you get my point!

[ A beat, as if he's thinking of something. ]

What were your Valentine's days like, before you came here? Can't be worse than mine, I bet.

Cape business not paying well?

[He's had around five hours sleep since Castiel showed up injured. That was three days ago. And about eight in the two days before that.]

Could always take up street tricks?

[quiptionary]

Har-de-har-har. I can't believe that never occurred to me -- oh wait, that's right! Spandex is not flattering in any way, shape, or form.

[magnetic_magpie]

Plenty of street performers in New York find alternatives, from what I have seen.

[doeswhathewants]

You could always steal from either of the companies. That's not really theft since they are evil. It is more ... robbing from the rich to give to the poor.

Though milk? Tch. The elixir of the Red Bull is far finer. Though I think the part about investing one with wings is a lie.

[quiptionary]

Yeah, I'm more hero than anti-hero, Lokes. Can't go around stealing and still consider myself the former. It's a conscience thing. You've probably never heard of it.

No wonder you're so tiny, dude. That crud is going to stunt your growth something awful -- don't growing Godlings need nutrition, too?

Didn't celebrate.

...Not once? I know the life of a Bat-person means being married to your work, but not even a box'a chocolates?

[ergomaniac]

And what, precisely, do you do to earn money? It should be noted, also, that one can ignore holidays.

[voice]

[quiptionary]

Spiders.

Oh you know, the usual. Find pretty girl, usually tries to inflict severe bodily harm on me. Sometimes leads to an actual date.

[Its certainly happened before]

Video

[quiptionary]

You gotta let me know how that works, man. I usually get stuck at the "inflict bodily harm" portion of the date.

[harriedosborn]

My Valentine's days? Well, every one of them was better than what you just described if that's any consolation.

[quiptionary]

Well, obviously. Playboy millionaire is kind of a hard thing to screw up when women are involved.

[She's sewing... after she threw socks at Magneto.]

Valentine's... at the X-Mansion. Need I say anymore?

[quiptionary]

How did that work, anyway? Would you guys make little cards and pass them out, or did Gambit ruin everyone's fun with his super-awesome "gentlemanly" and "mysterious" ways?

[ He's at the top of a building, looking around the city. ]

[atrumcanis]

Are you living under some sort of curse, perhaps, and do we really want to know how terrible your Valentine's Day has been in the past if your day to day existence is so full of trials and tribulations?

And who the hell screamed at you burningly, just so I'm straight on who to avoid.

[voice]

[quiptionary]

Possibly, and oh God no; no, you don't. It's a veritable miasma of insane clones trying to take over my life and cat burgling Exes deciding that giving me a stolen Ferrari would help me get to our dates on time.

[ He laughs. ]

It was one of the natural-born mutants from the port. Guy couldn'tve been taller than a garbage can, but he almost knocked me into the next block.

(Sounds like my life if I were a superhero.)

...Maybe you should just get a car on Valentine's Day, if that's such a big problem.

[quiptionary]

You've been to New York, right? You know, it's the city where people walk to their appointments to get on time.

[voice]

[bigandbad]

Doesn't your alter ego doesn't work a nine to five? You should get on him about that.

[voice]

[quiptionary]

Working freelance doesn't quit pay the bills like it used to. [ PUT UPON SIGH. ]

[walkinthruwalls]

I never celebrated it.

[quiptionary]

...Never?

[ He sounds aghast. ]

That won't do, little lady. Not at all; not while Spidey's on the case!

I AM THE LATEST PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF LATE permavoice and private

[jackpots]

[ oh no whyd you have to remind her of vday not boyfran :C ]

So, what, do you have any plans besides running around in tights?

not really orz orz

[quiptionary]

I'll have you know that this is very appropriate use of my free time, young lady.
