"That is nice that you bake ol chap. Im only allowed to make things pretty and the last cooking contest i entered with my friend.. didnt go so well." Walter said with a smile and a shake of his head. Ah well not much could be done about that. "I think ill have to test that statement of yours though, my boy. A tart would go nice with a cup of tea." Walter said with a smile as he leaned in towards Kade.
"As for me ol boy? Lets see.." Walter said as he put a finger to his lips tapping it lightly in thought. "I bartend at the Grindhouse.. ive done numerous odd jobs in my life. Ive been a butler, a bodyguard, a waiter.. " Walter said as he started counting off his trades on his fingers. "Honestly anything where i can stay active, or entertain people. Of course that doesnt beat my day job. But thats another story for another time. I dont want to scare you off yet, ol chap." Walter said with a smirk. He sat back and relaxed on he bench they were on.
"I enjoy tea, pastries and smoking. Drinks are nice too but only if things are really getting me down. I love to talk, but about meaningful things, not just malarky. At the same time i do just enjoy the silence. Im not much for technology.. aside from the necessary cellphone and therefore id rather read then watch TV." Walter said before he shrugged lightly. He then frowned. "My god man.. i sound horribly.. stereotypically British dont i? Tea, cake, smoking and reading." Walter bit his lip lightly in response to that, he was thinking of course.
__________
"Downer? Naw.. s**t man. Sometimes i think about doing the whole college bullshit. But i dont know what for. Im not really good at anything other than selling.. s**t i shouldnt.. and running from the cops.. or others. Im a good ******** sprinter, ill tell you that ******** much." Jan laughed, but it was honesty.
"And its kinda cool that you're a nurse. I mean.. i dont love Doc's.. but hell, i hate getting sick and hurt worse. And im ******** scared shitless of the damn cops." Jan said honestly before he frowned.
Jan adjusted his cap, scratching just slightly under it before he met the girls gaze again. "s**t that makes me feel like a damn loser. Naw ******** it. Lets go to your house.. do something you want to... or s**t go out to eat. I dont have a ******** ton of money but hell i can at least buy you a coffee or sandwich. Plus my ******** friends are always telling me i need to ******** shape up. Maybe you can help?" Jan asked with a light shrug and puppy dog look- like that dog from futurama. Fry's dog yeah that ******** mutt. That was Jan's puppy look. Kinda sad.. needy.. dirty.. but cute. Jan was really a good boy under all the swearing and drugs. If he could just clean up, he would be an alright guy.

Mei shifted her weight from her heels to the balls of her feet, and back again. She rocked herself back and forth as she looked down at the gardenias she was holding. This was taking a long time, wasn't it? Sure, last year, she had been the one to do the searching, so maybe it was just luck. She glanced up for a brief moment. No, it looked like people were doing a good job of pairing off. She held back a sigh. Maybe she should just go home?
Shinju was a little startled when a male voice addressed her. She had fallen into her thoughts, and had almost forgotten where she was. She looked at Kaleb as he introduced himself. Ophyrus Spider? Yeah, that was definitely what she had. Again, what an unpleasant plant... She looked down at the plant she was holding and held back a grimace. Gross. But she quickly perked up, smiling at Kaleb gently. "Ah, yeah, Ophyrus Spider," she confirmed, holding up the potted plant. "I'm Shinju. Err, Shinju Tamaki." Last names, so tricky.
Alex nodded his head as he listened to Freja. Really, he had no choice but to agree. Like her, it had nothing to do with the person standing in front of him, but more of the festival itself. It was a drag either way, getting randomly forced to talk with a complete stranger. And then people took it way too seriously, like Jean or Suzy. "Yeah, same here," he sighed, jabbing a thumb in River's direction. Thankfully, she seemed to be distracted by the girl he had only just recognized as Elliot's friend. When did River start talking to her? He shook his head, ridding himself of any thoughts concerning his sister (for once, let him be by himself, at least in his head) and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Where do you want to go?" Honestly, he had no idea where they COULD go. He had only really been to work, to home, and to the festivals. Everything else was just a series of places he sometimes passed by.
River nodded her head eagerly to answer Zhi's question. She had been cool! She had taken control of the situation so easily. It never occurred to River to, you know, actually intervene and stop the conflict. She had been too amused by the idea of Alex fighting Lotte. But yes, Zhi had been cool. Very cool. "Me?" she pointed to herself, giving her a brief perplexed look. What had she done that would be considered cool? She had just stood there and let herself get taped to Lotte. "I'm here to find Alex a girlfriend!" she answered. She glanced back at Alex and Freja. It didn't seem to be going terribly, since Alex was still standing there. "Look, look, look, they're talking," she tugged on Zhi's sleeve. Another good year, River! Daniel may have gone back to live with Dad, but at least she still had Alex~ She could just see his face now, tears streaming down his face, as he thanks her at his wedding. 'Without you, River,' he would say, 'I would still be a thirty-something year old bachelor with an unhealthy obsession with kitchen appliances!' And they'd all cry and toast and River would be crowned the Queen of the Wedding~ If that was how it worked. She cleared her throat as she pushed away the mental image. "What about you, Zhi? Do you have a date?" she asked, looking around for Zhi's date.

"Anywhere." She replied with a desperate look in her eyes. She just wanted to get away from here! Away from ritualistic sacrifice and possessed people like she knew they all were! Una had probably been playing with one of the magic book once again, that was the only explanation. Girls should stop reading those old tome aloud. But where could they go? There was the movie theater! No, no. Last time she had went there, she had left crying and feeling depress for a week. Sure, it had been her fault for choosing such a sad movie, but she couldn't risk it again. They could go to the inn? No, no, no. That... No. What would people think! The Magic Shop? No, she was suppose to go to other place. Lotte would be angry at her if she went to her workplace. "What about... the bakery? I head they do good desert...." She did like her sweets...

 The Reality ◑ The Delusion -
-
-
-
- Bewildered eyes stared round and curious from the pale face of little Emery. Adorning the body of the young girl, was a violet dress she picked out herself and a pair of plain sandals– just because her brother had failed to dress Emery before they left, since he barely makes it with dressing himself. And this violet dress, wasn't a dress at all, in fact it was Emery's bed sheets she worked around her body and tied together with a equally purple ribbon from one of her dolls. She thought her work was beautiful. Feeling pretty, Emery clasped onto what she had been given to by her brother. He had given her a bouquet of poppy flowers to hold, in which case she was instructed to not play with or throw about, just hold. She was okay with this, they were a pretty bright red, it reminded her of pretty red birds that fluttered outside her window in the mornings – and of the fresh thick liquid that comes out of the necks of little critters when you step on them. Emery frowned. That wasn't a very nice thing, who said that? Her attempts to find the person that had said it was to no success. Being Emery, she easily forgot it and smiled at her brother. Her grin, like his, tugged the membrane of her lips too far to bare far too many teeth, a direct copy cat of her brothers smile that she thought was fantastic.
Her brother, being her brother, then left her to do as she pleased. First things first, was to fiddle with the flowers she hadn't been allowed to when he was around. Her fingers, at first using a delicate touch to admire the soft texture of the petal, found it difficult to do so and turned to a rough handling of crumbling a few of them. Yanking them out, she dropped them to the floor as though she was a pretty girl at a pretty wedding and walked atop of them, grinding her heel playfully to watch the once pretty red of the flower turn a dirty brown torn to a bits. It wasn't so pretty now, so Emery forgot those and looked up. Around her was a crowd of people, she fell silent as lingered for a moment on each of the faces. What was she to do?

Hans hadnt been able to spot, the girl with the Poppy boquet yet. That is until his gaze lazily went over the crowd once more. He spotted the crimson haired girl, she looked young the German man assessed, as Hansel's blue eyes landed on the poppy flowers. That was his date though. Getting up from the bench he straightened himself and went over to the girl, approaching her slowly. He saw that she was with her brother? Least he assumed it to be.
"Guten tag.. zt'ose are poppies ja?" Hansel asked gently as he pointed to the flowers. "I ztink i am your date, Fraulien. Ich bin- ach i am Hansel Veber." Hans smiled as he held out his hand for a shake. This was going to get awkward fast if the girl was younger than 21. His niece was 18 as it is! Honestly Hans didnt like chasing tail any younger than 23 but 21 was at least as legal as you could get and 3 years older than his niece... hopefully this young girl was at least that old.

The Reality ◑ The Delusion -
-
-
-
- It had been getting boring, standing idly, staring at random people wondering how they'd look if they had animal ears instead of people ears – but that all changed when her attention was drawn to a man, and not just any man, a very neat one. He was enormous in size and height with the most funny voice she had ever heard. The grin that played the corners of her lips displaying a row of teeth was as involuntary as the giggle that accompanied the smile. What a funny man. Glancing down at the half torn flowers, she gave some thought about what they were, then some thought about the man, then the flowers, then she cut back to him. Now only if she had understood a single thing he had said. He mentioned her flowers, she was certain, and maybe a name. “These are poppies.”
She was infatuated with this odd man, as infatuated as she was with a funny looking bird that had landed outside her window at one time. So, Emery figured she'd be friendly. Plucking a flower from the bouquet, she offered it with the motion of holding it up to him.
“My name is Emery, and that's my brother.” She looked in the direction of her elder sibling and all his oddities.

Oh~? Hey, a reason to pick up baking again! Oh, but, Kade didn't have an oven.. He could borrow Gladice's!! ..Er, no, that probably wouldn't go well.. He could borrow Avien's oven! Yes, that sounded like it would be okay, especially if he made some for the man too! Maybe it would make the man cheer up some too? Win-win! Kade was honestly getting a little excited over it – it was about time for it, after all. It had been how long since Yoakim had left..? ..Oh, but it wasn't.. just that anymore, was it? He internally frowned at that, but shooed it away because, dang it, he was trying to enjoy himself for once! He didn't need reality raining on his parade! He nodded as the man listed the jobs he had been. A waiter didn't sound very impressive, but bodyguard? Bartender~? Both always had good stories and one implied at least a toned body~! The idea had Kade glancing the man over quickly to strengthen that idea. He hadn't had a good look at Walter when he first walked over – well, not one that was actually checking him out. Now, though.. He did look good! Not the 'boy next door' type he normally liked, but, Kade wasn't really 'normal' right then. He did raise an eyebrow at the whole 'don't want to scare him' bit. If anything, that just made it seem worse. What day job could really be that bad..? Enough to 'scare'?
Before he could come up with anything, Walter had moved on and so did Kade's attention. Smoking? Eck, he wasn't one for smokers, but he could ignore that. Then the guy wasn't into television, which was something Kade had practically lived off of and he personally found technology cool – but, him and Kim were together for awhile and had plenty of differences! ..Damn Yoakim and his habit of entering his thoughts when he wasn't wanted. To try and block out any following ideas on the man, he laughed a bit more than intended, “There's nothing wrong with a stereotype. I mean, I'm sure I'm as stereotypical as they come, sweetie.” He shrugged nonchalantly – it was true! “The hair thing, stuffed animals, crossdressing, nails, fashion, and sweets – it, umm..” Did he say drag in there? He frowned. Yoakim never really liked that stuff.. Oh, God – just go away, will he? This was annoying! With another mental shoo to Kim, he kept talking, “..So, yep, stereotyping. It's silly to even think about it.”
~~~
Zhi nodded as River questioned that compliment – River was always cool! Even when she got herself dumbly involved in a knife fight when she could have easily walked away or, better yet, helped stop the fight, River was being a magnificent person and totally awesome about it. She smiled, relieved and happy to know that River hadn't come over for something like a date or anything dumb like that. She was only here to help her brother find his date because, unlike Alex, River was competent enough to locate whatever flower Alex's date was carrying! She followed the woman's gaze as she indicated the 'couple', feeling almost as proud as River was at the sight. She loved pairing lovers up! It made her feel accomplished and, well, it was like watching one of her favorite movies~! Just look at how they were staring at eachother with love in their eyes – obviously they would be together forever and ever with lots of cute odd-haired children! ..Wait, wasn't that Freja? She raised an eyebrow and threw a look over to where her uncle was sitting. ..He didn't seem to care that his girlfriend or.. whatever they were was being whisked away.. Oh, well!
“No, I –” She started to answer River before a small gasp escaped and she clapped a hand over her mouth. She forgot!! “I sort of do.. But, it's only because someone's date is sick and I had to fill in!” She explained hurriedly, her brow creasing in worry. She would have had Mao dress up as a woman and do it, but, damn it, that man was so stubborn..! She couldn't leave River alone, either, though.. Then she could trip into the arms of another!! It was a day of instant love, after all! Her mind worked on hyper speed as she stole another look around – oh! Perfect! She looked back to River and smiled slightly, nervously, “River? If you don't have a date, could you do me a favor?”

"Just call me Hans." Hans said with a smile as he took the poppy the girl handed to him. She was absolutely adorable. But he was still weary of her age. "Guten Tag Herr. " Hans said as he looked to Emery's brother with a smile. He adjusted his glasses before looking back to the cute girl. "Fraulien Emery? I do not vant to offendt. Aber.. how old are you?" Hans asked a light blush appearing on his cheeks.
__________
Drag, stuffed animals? "You sound like Dante ol boy." Walter laughed. "The Tepes twin? Owner of the General store. Im bloody well sure you two would get along if its drag and stuffed animals that catch your fancy. Are you sure you arent him in disguse?" Walter said as he pointed to Kade. He shook his head and chuckled lightly. "Thats actually fine by me ol chum. Honestly.." Walter said as he was bold and ran his fingers lightly through Kade's blue locks.
"I wouldnt mind seeing what you looked like in drag. I shagged Dante- wait sorry Danielle. He makes a gorgeous woman, i bloody well have a good hunch you would too." Walter said with a flirty look in his eye and a lower tone to match. "Especially with that adorable face of yours." Walter said as he lightly brushed his fingers along Kade's cheek. "You will have to show me sometime, yeah?"

  He was blushing! Oh, that was so cute! Alanis just had to blush back at that! Her cheek quickly turned into a light shade of pink as she looked at her feet. He was looking at her! Complimenting her! Blushing because her! Yes, he was finally admitting his feeling of love for her! Ah, soon they would be wed! They would skip through a feel of flower naked, before laying down in the grass and making sweet passionated love as a squirrel or two spied on them! Maybe they could even built a small cabin in the woods! Lucas would farm and hunt down animals for them as Alanis raised their multiple children! One every year until she reached menopause. That should give roughly around 30 children. They would be one happy big family! "Ah, heehee~ Thankyou Lucas." She giggled a tiny bit, all while keeping her eyes on her feet. That was how shy girls were supose to work, right? "You are quite handsome too, today. Do you... do you train? You seem to have gain muscles through the year..." all to better ******** her brains out, obviously. Well, that was what she believed people called it. It was quite a scary though when you stopped to think about it. Who would want their brain to be removed out of their heads?
=========================
Neil had kept dragging Ilya with him up until he had joined Romane and her own date, whoever that boy was. Someone Neil didn't know? Oh, how wonderful! "Why, with Mademoiselle Biset, of course!" He stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Some people should really think before talking. "I'm Neil. Neil G. Murrow. Reporter extraordinair and the editor-in-chief of the newspapper. Nice to meet you. Now, let us go! Hurry! Hurry! Don't drag your feet!" And there he was gone, pulling all three others with him.... how could he pull 3 persons while only have two arms? Well, up to this point, you should all know better than to questions Neil's logic!
//Exit Neil, Romane, Tamaki and Ilya//

Valentine's Day ❤ ❤ ❤(Cid) (Andrew) (Emily) (Suzy)
"Yo retard. Your date's over there." Emily said, grabbed Andrew and pointing at Rachel. "you wasted this whole time holding my flowers, how does that make you feel?" She asked, as she dragged Andrew to Rachel. Andrew was still carrying Emily's Euphorbia.. guess Emily's date didn't want to approach her brother. Emily shoved Andrew, who almost dropped the pot of flowers, towards Rachel, so he would approach her. "U-um.. H-hi..." Andrew mumbled to Rachel. Emily, seeing an opportunity, yelled at to her brother; "YO, NUMBNUTS! Ask her if she's into threesomes!"
_____
"Hello Ms Mei." Cid said, standing behind Mei, nothing creepy about that. "I apologize for keeping you waiting.. however I somehow managed to not remember which flower I was informed to look for, so I was required to check once more.. it was a rather long and difficult thing to do, but as it now completed, I believe I am your 'date' at this particular festivel." At least he hasn't asked her if she wanted some tea yet. "Ah, would you like to drink some tea?" Spoke too soon. Cid left his tea pot on the bench he sat at, which someone (Emily) put some morning glory seeds into. Nothing like a psychedelic tea to unknowingly drink for a date.

Mei jumped slightly as someone spoke. She had gotten so used to standing by herself, entertaining herself in her own head that it startled her to have someone address her. She turned to see Cid standing there, creating an odd mix of disappointment and relief. She had really been hoping for a nice, cool woman who could speak Chinese, but... Well, Cid was nice enough and pleasant to talk to, so she couldn't really complain, could she? "Hello, Mister Kuan-yin," she greeted him with a small smile and an even smaller bow. "It's been a while," she added politely. Something about talking to people who could speak her language made her extra conscious of what she was saying. "Tea? If you don't mind," she brightened slightly. What a nice day this was turning out to be~
Alex's first impulse when Freja mentioned the bakery was to bolt. There was only reason he had avoided that place as much as he had -- River. And really, wasn't River the only reason he did anything? She (supposedly) worked there, and the last thing he needed was a bubbling River making a big deal of it. So he almost said 'no', right to Freja's face. He could feel his leg muscle tighten, preparing to run for it. But then he remembered that River wasn't she at work, she was here, at the festival, blissfully distracted by things. Was that okay? Ehh, he wasn't going to question it. If she hadn't gotten fired yet.... "Sure, yeah, the bakery. Let's go," he said before starting to walk. Did he know where it was? Not really. It was out of his usual range.
River's eyes widened slightly when Zhi asked her for a favor. Yay! She could be helpful! No, even more important than that! This seemed important! She wasn't sure why, but it did, and she could feel herself begin to get excited. River, saving the day, yet again~ "Favor? What is it?" she asked eagerly. Too eagerly.

Celeste nodded in agreement to Rory's observation that it was over. It hadn't looked that bad, atleast people didn't seemed to be getting arrested. Shrugging Celeste turned back to Rory, smiling, and happy to change the subject. "So, what would you like to do for our blind date?" She asked happy to get back to their date then worry about the crazy cops on the island. "You said you haven't been here long? Is there any place you have been wanting to go?" Then, simply because she couldn't risk asking, "How do you like it here so far?"

      __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Hayden Rusacanth, Rachel Fate, Lucas Grey, Camelia 'Cam' Grey, Kaleb Roman, & Ilya de la Cruz - __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ -Searching for his date with Ipomoea...hopelessly-Ah damn it... She got a teenager. Rachel inwardly sighed, putting on a smile for the kid. Yes, he was a kid. Being about ten years younger classified him as such. The woman was about to say something before the girl's mouth was heard. Rachel frowned at that and looked at her date. "I'm not answering that" she said shaking her head. "Anyways, I'm Rachel."Now he was blushing deeper at Alanis' words. "Uh... Actually I do. Um I like sports, but it's more swimming. And boxing" said the boy, smiling slightly as he talked about that. He was still nervous, but he got out of his shell a bit. Of course if he actually knew what Alanis was thinking, he'd be hiding back in that shell until he died... away from Alanis.-Chatting with Cadeon-The redhead tilted his head to glance at the potted plant. It wasn't that horrible... but Ilya had painted it like some wonderful thing... Oh never listen to a gardener on whether a plant is pretty or not. "Shinju, nice to meet you. Is this your first time at this festival?" asked the male curious, the traditions were strange, but it was nice. "It is for me though, but that's because I'm a newbie here."-Dragged out by Neil-

================
The young girl made a gasp, bringing a hand to her chest. He was boxing? Oh! That meant that he would be able to defend her against bandits and mean men trying to take advantage of her in a dark alleyway! Ah, Lucas really was a Prince Charming! Willing to sacrifice his life like that for her. Oh, she knew how to fall in love so well! "That's really impressive Lucas! Would you mind... if we went to your place? It is getting chilly here, with the wind, and my room is quite small..." For once, this was not one of her plots into getting Lucas to be with her. It really was getting cold, and her room really was small.
