[It's February 14th! Early enough before the blind dates have started, Anya was busy.
At some point in the day, there will suddenly be a gift for Luke left at the bar of Cabin 11. He'll find a little pouch filled with heart-shaped macarons, about 6 or 7. There's a separate pouch with a few more, likely for his family. There's a neat little card written in Anya's neat and short hand-writing:]
Happy Valentine's Day! Please know that I adore you too.
- Anya ♡
[The macarons have their own little messages instead of the classic Sweetheart Conversations, customized based on whoever Anya's giving them to. This batch reads:]
GOOD LUCK FAMILY BIG BRO THANK YOU
left surreptitiously and unceremoniously shoved into one of his tip jars
( Strange. Haven't people been talking about getting these? You'll find a delivery from Retrospec at your home, or at some place you often frequent. Thank you, says Retrospec. For all you do.
Inside the box there is a single feline plushie. Tied around its neck is a bit of ribbon with a note: ♥ From Yuri's Angels. There is nothing else. The box from Retrospec, the plush kitty, and that note.
Congratulations. You are the lucky mistaken recipient of a Yuri's Angel Cat Plush. What a wonderful day this must be!!! )
A girl was home alone and she walked downstairs to go and get some midnight snacks because FUCK YEAH midnight snacks what is even the point of being home along if you don't go get those? Nothing was there, but she made herself a stack of pancakes like two feet high and covered them in whipped cream and chocolate chips and went back upstairs to eat breakfast in bed, basically sending out an engraved invitation to all ants in the universe to come hit her up. At I guess noon she woke up to find a little girl standing at the foot of her bed. The little girl went sis why the fuck did you do this now there's an ant invasion, and then some ants with machine guns bust through the door and started shooting and they had to dive out the window and start their action movie saga. Send this to 3 people or else around noonish you're gonna get attacked by ant alien fuckers, and then what will you do?
[It's probably toward the end of Proper Bar Hours™ when Kashuu moseys in to the Cabin, taking a seat at the far corner.
And then he just sort of
puts his forehead down on the counter.
This exhaustion comes from a lot of places and surprisingly, most of them don't have to do with the fact that it's ass o'clock. He also pipes up a second later, and while it's semi-muffled, it's still probably loud enough for Luke to hear.]
I cannot wait until I can actually drink freely in public.
( He usually works with one of the other choreographers precisely because he's second string. Yuri doesn't mind. By and large it means he gets to skip most rehearsals and focus on what else he needs to do; like work, considering the fine last month hit his non-existent pocketbook hard.
Today both sets of actors, understudies and mains, are present and accounted for. Yuri's hanging with the other understudies and practicing the dance-fight choreo: dance-fight because he's flashing a sharp grin and tucking one arm behind his back and holding up the practice sword. The problem is his Mercutio knows how this goes, and isn't as deft with the sword, let alone the footwork. He rolls his eyes and bats at Yuri's sword with his own, saying he'll be back in fifteen or so to deal with this. Yuri scoffs, bringing his sword back to rest against his shoulder. )
It's not like the footwork's all that difficult... they could stand to make it so much more exciting.
I'm coming by after school. I got something in the mail I need to show you.
[ ??? not vague at all.
whether he replies or not annabeth will indeed come by the bar after school, a bookbag over one shoulder. she'll eye whoever's about, if anyone is, in a rather cagey manner and sit at the bar near where thalia usually sits with her bag on the seat next to her. ]
[Because Luke doesn't have nearly enough people talking to him about shitty gifts from Retrospec, Jason is stopping by the bar a little later in the day, closer to the evening and definitely after his last class. He slides into one of the stools by the bar, schoolbag still on his bag and everything, and very casually:]
So... [... Well, almost too casually?] What are the chances I can borrow you for five minutes?
[you know how they say nothing good happens after 2 am
Luke probably hears the heavy footsteps of an animal at 3 am, followed by the rustling of feathers, some bickering followed by Baren's devil may care laughter in the dead of the night.
Nothing good happens after 2 am.
This includes Baren knock knock knocking at the front door of Cabin 11, then deciding that it's taking too long for an answer, and so he pulls out one of his hairpins and moves to pick the lock. Luke knows he can pick locks. Baren's let himself into his apartment enough times.
Admittedly this is a little different.
The chocobo behind him does another full body shake, now with just one rider instead of two, and Baren just makes an odd soothing noise even as he keeps working on this lock.]
I know you're hungry but sshhh, c'mon, let me work, V...!
i was going to cash in that free date finally like rn but i am the size of an essie nail polish sooooooo how about after this is fixed in the hopes that this isnt permanent
also are you tiny too because i need to know if ur gonna be like runnin around on ur bar counter tryin to serve giant drinks??? thatd be so hilarious
[ So he's somehow managed to hitch a ride to his office and except for the fact that he's six inches tall and using his desktop is impossible, so he's limited to checking emails and doing Work Stuff on hie phone, it seems like it's a normal day, sans any Retrospec shenanigans.
... Of course, that changes when there's a fucking portal being ripped in the space in front of him and Luke tumbles out of it looking half drenched and Seto has to stop because seriously, what the fuck. ]
... Luke?
[ Where did you come from, how did you teleport into his office. ]
annabeth doesn't register that luke appears in front of her, smacking into his chest (why is he SO TALL...) and just backing up a step. with the echo flowers echoing, somehow she doesn't think "holy shit luke just teleported" instead saying, ]
Or you could consider moving out of my way? [ yes, clearly luke just. must have walked really fast to wind up in her path. but, ] I need to find out what they know.
hey dont u still owe me a date assumin nothing else weird happens rn besides fuckin loss of TWO WHOLE COLORS christ we need to schedule this i wont be forgettin it mr castellan
if i got together some sort of fight club for people on the network to learn how to use all these weapons we're being sent instead of fumbling around and stabbing themselves would you be up for helping out and teaching people? you're pretty good with a sword and i know you wouldn't beat up on them without a good reason
