More accurately, it seemed like some kind of homemade bubbles were in the air. There was a mediocre party arranged in (it seemed like?) someone's dorm room, and whoever had set it up seemed to think that Valentine's day was synonymous with babies.
It had been Aquamarine, a hunter with few ties at Deus, who desperately wanted to make new friends and maybe touch some cute butts this Valentine's day. She was pretty sure it was Valentine's day, anyway. Like 72% sure, it was kind of hard to keep track. It wasn't that she was into babies, per se, so much as
She had made bubble mix mainly out of soap and some wire that was twisted to make the world's shittiest bubble wands, and she had sculpted papier mache in the shape of fairly hideous babies. Aquamarine had never really had anyone to celebrate Valentine's day with, and it had typically gone by relatively unnoticed as she spent it ignoring admirers or gifts and probably very drunk with girlfriends.
This year would be different she had decided. And so, by handwriting hundreds of notes and basically littering them everywhere, she had accomplished this party.
All the food was donated, and hopefully edible, as were the beverages? And the photo frame for 'pictures' (if you had a camera, or you could take them on devices, she supposed) could be taken in front of a big cardboard frame that Harland Leander Belle had courteously donated to the damsel in distress. He really couldn't say no to a lady in a bind.
Now she just needed the guests.
Play it cool, girl she thought to herself. ≾⋰ you don't need anyone but me, sweet child, ⋱ ≿ Lilu whispered to her in her mind, voice a low, warm vibration in her mind.

≾⋰ KisStLeToe ⋱ ≿  Sprigs of something red (they might have been berries, they could have been balled up wax, they could have been styrofoam coloured red) were strung too high up to really easily see what they were composed of. They were over a huge variety of places, not only the open door to the dorm room. Basically, to anyone who would inquire, they were Kisstletoe, a completely traditional part of Valentine's day.
If you stood under it with another person, you were meant to kiss. It was a very, very important tradition.
Aquamarine would passionately defend it to her last breath, and if anyone so much as accidentally stepped under it together, she would happily rush over to let them know what fate they had just resigned themselves to. Aquamarine was not opposed to touching strangers to make them kiss, either. Boundaries: an issue with this one.
[[ OOC: You can totally just quote someone with the kistletoe to do this voluntarily with a specific person. Aquamarine will be happy to tell you, or you can safely assume she's spread the knowledge enough it's second-hand. If you need me to bring Aquamarine over to manually interact, please quote me!
ALTERNATIVELY! If you would like some siliness, drama, or the opportunity for a meet-cute just put the small Kisstletoe below into your post somewhere. If you spot one of these tiny kisstletoe in someone else's post, post your own and it's KISS TIME! Please remember to quote the person and don't assume anything, but if you've got it up it's a 'yeah that's fine if it happens' situation so just don't use it if you're not interested biggrin ]]Tiny Kisstletoe  [img]https://i.imgur.com/d4ga5Ry.png[/img]

≾⋰ food and drink ♥ prompts
 _____ A table sporting three types of beverage and two snacks is wedged against one wall. Might be a good place to start the party. After all, isn't the buffet the best place to be at any party? [[ OOC: Please roll 1d6 if you're feeling like the gambling kind. If you have a prompt in mind, that's totally fine too, just choose which one you want and have your hunter consume that item/beverage! There's no real limit, do whatever makes you happy smile ]]
1, 5 - Heartful O' Somethin' ♥ A red heart full of a thick, amber-coloured liquid with a hidden spout. Its flavour notes might be almonds, oak; for others, it might taste of cinnamon just, or something completely different. It doesn't seem to have one single flavour. You feel very overwhelmed by the urge to make new connections, however. [[OOC: Roll a 1 or a 5? Have your hunter greet the last hunter to post above you. They don't have to know each other, and they could even have walked up to the table together. Just make it happen, I believe in you]]
2 - Elviro, Mistress of the Night ♥ The tall, black glass beaker with its black glass stopper seem very familiar somehow. Its liquid is a faintly sour blackberry-type concoction, and a thin purple smoke rises off its surface. [[OOC: If you roll a 2, your hunter is overwhelmed with the urge to say something sincere to another hunter! Either something harmless, like complimenting a fellow party-goer, or more profound: text your ex that you've always missed them, and see how that works out for you haha jk whatever seems appropriate but that's the general idea]]
3 - Bubbly Drink™ ♥ Fizzy, bubbly sweetness overwhelms the senses. At first. Then, there's a sort of sinking feeling, and for the next few minutes your body's very heavy. Maybe it would be best to lie down, and remember. Whether or not you want to, one of your many tales of woe come to mind. [[OOC: If you roll a 3, your hunter relives one of their crushing memories of loss. Sorry not sorry, this is definitely what love is all about right? If you have no tales of woe, it makes you imagine one! Yay!]]
4 - Dontritos ♥ Orange crunchy cheesy chips. Grab one, grab two, grab a handful?? Will it ever stop? [[OOC: If you roll a 4, you feel overwhelmed with the urge to trade a garment with the next person to also roll a 4. Doesn't matter what garment, but it's gotta be traded at least for the rest of the party, and preferably worn.]]
6 - Dry Biscuits ♥ It's not super clear what the cookies on the platter are supposed to be. It looks like someone lazily dabbed white icing on a grey biscuit and called it a day. Are they supposed to be ladyfingers? Did the person who made these know that? They don't have much flavour, they're not filling, and they're not unpleasant. They're just...okay. [[OOC: WILDCARD! Roll a 6? Roll again or choose any prompt from the above. They were just so meh you can't help but consume something else. ]]

 photobooth ♥
_____ A cheesy frame, made out of whatever craft supplies Harland found lying around. There's likely more than one scrap of a Naruto comic he found on the beach, coloured red and cut into flowers.
You can pose behind it with someone you like, love or maybe even just met! A mystery volunteer hidden behind a veil snaps a photo and texts it to you? How did that even work? [[ OOC: This is 99% just for fun: I can't provide art for everyone! I'll do a vday doodle of one pair that enters, whatever their relationship smile If you want to enter, just fill out the form in quotations below and post in-thread. Only one entry per student, please! Feel free to use the frame art provided above however you'd like for RP / TiH / Deus purposes.]]
The pretty faces ♥ 1 - ??

candybowl ♥
_____ It's a bowl full of fairly stale candy. Some people think they taste like chalk, some people like them. Who is Aquamarine to judge? She literally could not care less if you even take entire handfulls. [[ OOC: Roll as many 1d6 as you want; every die nets you the corresponding candy. Roll them all at once, roll them in separate posts for fun or to simulate a serious problem addition to candy hearts, I am indifferent. These don't do anything special, but maybe you can throw them at your enemies? Or present them to your love ones!]]

 Aquamarine was at her own party, because it was her party. She could not not be here.
Mainly she paced back and forth re-applying lipgloss, keeping to a very specific patrol route of the party. To anyone observant, she was remaining almost entirely under at least one sprig of the Kisstletoe at any given time.
Listen, she was not above trickery.
She grabbed idly at one of the gross candy hearts on her way by the bowl. It was the U Suck heart. She laughed when she saw it, and gave it a wicked grin. "I do, but there's nobody to admire it," was her reply to the candy heart, standing alone in her own party.

 Dai strolled into the party, having found a note about it shoved under his door. He looked around, curiously, taking in the decor with interest, before wandering a little farther in. He noticed the candy bowl, and decided to go for it... He dove his hand into the mass, and pulled out an orangey-brown heart that said 'Best friends.' He eyed it in amusement, then popped it into his mouth... He was fairly sure the closest thing he had to a best friend was either Henry or his sister, and he didn't think they needed him to give them a... oh lords... super stale candy heart for them to know it. Instead, he realized that so far, no one was around, except one rather pretty lady. He looked her over, curiously, blue-green eyes taking in every detail, before he walked over, smiling. "Hello there, lovely lady." He gave a small bow. "I'm Dai, and it seems that so far, we are the only people attending this delightful event. Might I know who my companion, so far, is?"

The note that'd been shoved beneath his door had been met with a certain level of hesitant interest. Things had been, well, they hadn't really, so any little sort of thing to keep the island excited about something was nice. So even if Henry wasn't really the sort to really pay much attention to Valentines day on any normal occasion, he supposed this time around he could make an exception. And then there was the whole matter of Dai and their complicated, or maybe very uncomplicated relationship. Friendship? Henry wasn't sure. But either way he decided he really didn't have much to loose by at least looking in on the gathering, so he got himself dressed in a nicer pair of dark jeans and button down shirt with the sleeves rolled back a couple times because he was already feeling a little warm. He was well aware his hair was past due a cut, but it was at least freshly colored a dark blue/green, and combed as neatly as he could manage. When he arrived there were only two other people present and Henry had an immediate attack of nerves that made him question if he'd arrived too early. But one of the two there was Dai, and instead of slinking away again Henry headed for the taller boy and the girl he was talking to.

Oooh, the first person! Aquamarine was overjoyed, but determined not to make it seem so. She flashed the stranger her best come hither smile, before watching him pop one of the gross, stale candy hearts into his mouth. The smile withered on its vine, and was replaced by a placating and neutrally friendly expression.
Aquamarine took a step out of the Kisstletoe, because nobody who had eaten one of those hearts was going to taste good anyway. To her great pleasure, however, the stranger approached her, which was exactly what she liked. She gave a delicate wave, each finger in a cascade, her other hand on her hip. "You can call me whatever you like," she said, with a wink, "but some people call me Aquamarine. Pleasure to meet you, Dai," she said. She held out a hand.
"Are you expecting anyone...?" Aquamarine polled Dai, making small talk.
She appreciated the arrival of a second person, and was downright relieved. If only she hadn't left the Kisstletoe behind! Second prospect, who had not eaten a candy heart. "Who's this, then? Someone special?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows at Dai. "Welcome to the party, handsome," she said to the newcomer.
Aquamarine felt Lilu being silently judgemental in the back of her mind.
-----------
Harland was out, in public, for the first time in a while. He was just making an appearance, he figured. He'd been roped into throwing together the terrible heart frame for the photobooth, so why not see how the party had turned out? Besides, he had this feeling it was going to be a quiet party if the past while had been any indication.
What he didn't expect was that there would already be two strangers there. At least, he figured he hadn't met them. One of them looked familiar. Maybe his immaculate memory had a hole in it after all? The thought troubled him. He was usually a fairly sunny, friendly person, but that put a cloud over his greeting. The tall, broad-shouldered Death hunter strode up to the group of three, nevertheless; smoothed his hair away from his face with one freckled hand, and then looped both thumbs through his beltloops. "Greetins," he said, "I haven't met either of you yet, have I?" he asked, his Irish accent lilting and obvious.

Dai arched an eyebrow for a moment at her reaction, and had to control the urge to laugh, because obviously she knew how disgusting those candies were. "Aquamarine. It's a pleasure to meet you." He took her hand and bowed over it, brushing it lightly with closed lips so as NOT to 'contaminate' her with his breath. Then he straightened and reached into his pocket... to pull out a pack of mint gum, because he did carry it with him everywhere... He hated having terrible flavors and scents on his breath. He popped a stick into his mouth, and then beamed a welcome to Henry. He wrapped an arm around the smaller young man's shoulders, and said "This is Henry, a very good friend of mine. Henry, this lovely lady is Aquamarine. She seems to be quite a nice lady, and given she was here when I arrived, I am guessing she's also our host." He gave her a questioning glance, clearly asking her to confirm or deny his words, silently. He turned, curiously, at the sudden lilting voice behind him, blue-green eyes taking in the detail of the other tall man. He gave him a friendly grin, and his hand was held out to the stranger. "Dai. A pleasure. I'm quite sure we have not met, no... I'm still... Sort of new... to this place." This was getting interesting, a chance to meet more new people.
