Another futuredated valentine's post, for Gage!

[pinkgingham]

To the little porcupine, Valentine's Day was just another day to her. If anything, it was a good excuse to gorge on chocolates and watch romantic movies! That wasn't to say that she wasn't opposed to the holiday, it's just that she didn't have that special someone in her life to celebrate it with

Gage strolled grumpily along, willfully resisting the spirit of this holiday as he did for all the other holidays he learned of at SBG. Of course, that was a secret to everybody; Gage planned to fit in as best as he could for as long as he could.

For now, though, he was just walking by, idle thoughts of Ballistics assignments going through his head...

[pinkgingham]

Sable stopped what she was doing and took a good look at Gage.

Oh. Oh my. She had never noticed how handsome this man was! Her heart was racing and she started to blush. There had to be some sort of way to approach her fellow faculty member, but how? She was simply too shy to do it!

Unless...what if she could make something for him? Yes, that would be perfect! Besides, who doesn't love a nice, handmade gift? It took all of her courage to grab Gage's attention, but at last, she squeaked: "Uh...uh...e-excuse me!"

[proud_soldier]

Oh? Someone called for his attention. Hum, some hedgehog or porcupine or whatnot. From her tone, he guessed she was in need of assistance.

Gage walked up with a nod and an indeterminate hand gesture. "Yes?"

[pinkgingham]

Oh geez, this was it.

She stammered, "U-uh...I-I-I was wondering if...if you weren't doing anything right now, if I...uh..." Wow, she was bad at this. How could she make this seem a little less awkward? She tried to regain her composure and continued, "W-Well, you see, I'm...I'm trying to make something for someone but I didn't get their measurements, a-and you're about the same size as the person that I'm making it for...so, uh...can I take your measurements instead?"

Foolproof! He'll never figure out that she was going to make something for him after all! ...at least, she hoped so.

He was running. Well running as much as you could call a giant hand running could run.

"Crazy blue-haired man, noooo!" He didn't even notice the cupid-bot take aim and shoot him in the index finger. But then he turned, seeing...such a beautiful sight! A porcupine of the highest caliber, he stopped in his tracks with a halt and turned into his human form.

"What fair day to be seeing you here for some oranges, beautiful lady!"

[proud_soldier]

What. A giant rampaging hand halted Gage in his tracks. He must have done something wrong, since it was shouting at him and now talking to this porcupine about oranges apparently?

"Crazy blue-haired man"...? My hair's not that crazy...

Gage had met Crazy Hand before and knew it to be dangerous, although more importantly, it was an authority here. As such, Gage knew better than to react too strongly against its randomness. He stood by patiently to see what unfolded, and why it seemed to be making such blasphemous accusations against his hair.

[pinkgingham]

Sable too stopped in her tracks as soon as Crazy Hand approached her. Oh darn, and her little plan was going so smoothly, too! "...oranges?" Sable asked, looking around. "I don't...see any oranges." Sable had a habit of taking whatever Crazy Hand said seriously, which was not always the best idea. Ah, well. "Well, uh...it's nice to see you too, Crazy Hand!"

No Gage, you're not the crazy blue haired man.

The crazy blue haired man is the crazy blue haired man who is chasing Crazy Hand.

And that would be Max, charging into their view like a steroid-riddled bull.

Max was wearing nothing but boxer shorts with bright orange stars on them, and more muscles than you could shake a 500 lbs. barbell at.

"CRAZY HAND," he yelled, "I'M YOURS," as he leaped into the air to finally grab the elusive hand-who-was-now-a-human.
