It's been a trying time for us all. These events are far beyond my expertise to handle, although I've done all that I could. [A small sigh about that. This version still has his angst about the monsters, but he also has a way of distracting himself.]In the meantime, while we have something of a respite... for any ladies who are lonely for

[Bern is actually outside for once during the day time. After all, this is a decent time to survey the village and see what's been going on. There's been a lot of fuss about people acting strange and frankly she just has to see what's going on for herself.

That's when she takes notice of Vincent. ...What is he doing.]

[chaotic_dirge]

[He's actually trying hard to distract himself... and it just so happens that the company of a lovely lady or several is the best way to do that. So Vincent seeks out his next victim woman of interest...]

Well, hello there, allow me to be your Valentine for the day.

[It's like a reflex, he's already handing her a flower.]

[kakeravoyager]

[Okay. This is weird. She doesn't take the flower, nor do her eyes even look at it. Her piercing gaze is merely on him.]

It's August. Valentine's Day isn't for another several months. [And even on that day she would reject him.]

[chaotic_dirge]

Ah, but my dear, I'm none other than Vincent Valentine. So you see, I always am your Valentine...

[And it doesn't even register to him for a moment that she's uninterested. Nope, he just keeps going.]

...what a pretty shade of hair. Is that natural?

[unseenspy]

[While exploring the once-again-peaceful village, Jay will happen upon the resident Valentine.]

Vincent? What has gotten into you?

[Action]

[chaotic_dirge]

[Vincent looks confused at Jay, since he's sure he isn't acting any different than normal...]

What do you mean by that?

[Action]

[unseenspy]

You're not your normal dark, brooding self today.

[Action]

[chaotic_dirge]

Dark and brooding? Well... I know that does attract the ladies, but I try not to overdo it when I'm drawing them in. Besides, a smile works on them just as well.

[esper_flight]

[Well, Terra's a woman? That's every evident when the nude Esper hovers nearby, peering about town for anything of interest.]

[chaotic_dirge]

[Those boobs are AMAZING. Vincent peers at her, remembering Terra but surprised that he has yet to make any moves on her. Well, it's time that changes!]

Terra! Have I ever told you how stunning you are like that?

[esper_flight]

[Terra pauses and stares at him in surprise.]

Stunning? No, I don't think you have before.

[She closes in on him, looking him over. Normally, she doesn't pay that much attention to clothing -obviously- but she can't help but notice the difference.]

What's the occasion?

[chaotic_dirge]

[...she's even hotter from close up. It's not everyday he runs across a woman who's ALREADY naked.]

Well, I'm telling you now, Terra. In fact, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met, I can't bear to take my eyes off you.

...Would you do me the honor of letting me be your Valentine for the day?

Vincent vs. Kain magnet is here!

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia's seated at a bench, unable to hide her misery. She knows she needs to be strong for Kain and everyone else, but...that will have to wait. Ceodore's words keep echoing in her ears, bringing angry tears to her eyes. Perhaps she should use that anger for target practice? The thought is there, but her body doesn't want to cooperate, just yet.]

YAAAAAY!

[chaotic_dirge]

[Vincent sees yet another lonely, sad looking woman, and instantly has to remedy that. He hurries over to her, to take a seat right next to her and offer her a rose.]

You're far too beautiful to look so glum. Allow me to offer you something to lighten your spirits.

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia stares at the rose, startled. She takes it, more out of shock than anything else. Then she looks up at him, confused.]

Um...are you sure you didn't mean this for someone else? You don't even know me.

[chaotic_dirge]

[Vincent shakes his head and smiles.]

No, sweetie, it's for you. I saw you here all alone, and I just couldn't pass by without helping.

[galddigger]

[Well, older!Anise over here happens to be a woman! And is walking right past you, Vincent. What say you?]

Action

[chaotic_dirge]

[Well, HELLO there. Vincent never gives up when it comes to his attempts at seduction. So he moves to keep up with her, offering her a rose as he smiles faintly.]

I couldn't possibly let a pretty lady like you pass me by without at least saying hello. Consider this a token of my admiration.

[galddigger]

[Okay, totally random stranger with a rose and flattery?]

[Anise is not like any of the previous women you've encountered, Vincent. She giggles and blushes, evidently pleased.]

Why, thank you~ ♥

Action

[chaotic_dirge]

[Vincent will take this as encouragement.]

You're very welcome, darling. And I'm the one and only resident Valentine at your service. Vincent Valentine. May I ask your name?
