/backdating to valentine's day because life got in the way

[Hammerspace's ballroom is beautiful- You know this because everyone in Hammerspace is suddenly there, surrounded by pink and red streamers and balloons and heart themed decorations and snacks. The room looks like a pepto bismol commercial run rampant.

But that's not really the interesting part. Everyone is handcuffed to someone. Maybe more than one

[Even Amarillo's bow tie is now covered in a little heart pattern. He's munching on a heart shaped cookie, but he doesn't look happy.]

This is so tacky.

[dirtysouthdirty]

Ain't it though?

[ Hope you don't mind a certain someone wandering over, Amarillo. ]

[by_mornin]

[Amarillo never minds a visit from Hookeracy. He smiles, at least.]

S'like they let some lovesick teenagers in here an' let'em go wild. All this pink...

[dirtysouthdirty]

[ Hookeracy returns the smile. ]

Been a while since I've seen somethang this gaudy. Ya didn' look too happy 'bout it.

[statescollected]

Whoah-

[Yes, America is just randomly shouting.]

What's all this? It looks like one of Japan's dating video games. Am I playing or am I one of the people getting hit on?

[dirtysouthdirty]

Who would wanna hit on ya, I wonder.

[ Don't mind him pretending to be grossed out by that idea. If his handcuff is doing anything, he doesn't pay any attention to it. ]

[statescollected]

Uh, let's see, you just for starters.

[Who cares what the handcuffs are doing. Comebacks!]

[dirtysouthdirty]

Excuse me? Ya come ta me, not tha other way 'round.

[This is the most depressing thing that's happened in months. Texas has spiked a bowl of tequila with a little punch and is sitting next it, having glass after glass. After glass. After glass after glass after glass...]

Oh god I'll stop editing I promise.

[Well, New York is unsure exactly how this happened, especially since he's been so alert. He had to have blacked out somehow, for this to happen. He cursed himself for that, but didn't quite understand why Texas would choose to handcuff himself to his enemy. Because yes, he has chosen to ignore the whole "I love you in the future" fiasco that happened last time. It was much easier than thinking about it further, which made him queasy, to say the very least.]

What's your game?

edit as much as you want bby <3

[spurslikestars]

[On the one hand Texas is surprised that New York is cuffed to him, but on the other, it's the past one so... He isn't too surprised. Hammerspace being cruel. What else is new.

He downs the drink he has before answering.]

Football usually.

[ways_andmeans]

[New York let out an exasperated sigh, and then lifted the wrist which had been adorned with a new decoration.]

I meant about this.

[istandwithmine]

[This Texas doesn't even know. He's staying over here in this corner to hide from any Northerners that may be about until he can find a way to leave.]

[dirtysouthdirty]

[ If Hookeracy wasn't accustomed to such gaudy things, this room would be giving him a headache, he just knows it. But he is and so the most the room gets out of him is a disapproving stare, before grabbing some snacks to munch on. ]

[istandwithmine]

[One of the Confederacies is a safe enough person to be around- So when this Texas spots Hookeracy, he makes a bee-line to his side. Though he may or may not notice some handcuffs quietly doing their thing when he gets close enough.]

Chief.

[dirtysouthdirty]

[ Hookeracy glances up when someone comes near, giving Texas a smile. ]

Hey, Tex.

[ He starts to give Texas a quick kiss to the cheek, but he pauses when he realizes...something's holding his wrist. He glances down at the handcuffs. ]

...that's hardly surprising, considerin'.

[istandwithmine]

[Texas follows Hookeracy's eyes and let's out a small choked sound at the sight of the cuffs. At once he's trying to pry them off. To no avail of course.]

Ah- What the hell're these?!
