EVENT || Know Your Heart

Who: Open
When: Feb 9-13
Where: all over the planet
What: Emotions run high this time of year, but this is ridiculous!
Warnings/Notes: Extreme emotions. The OOC Post can be found here.

Beginning on the 9th and escalating daily, strange things are happening around Vaikuntha. It's not just love in the air...it's all emotion. Well, for you, it is just one, hightened to an absurd degree. Only Heroes of Light (the ones from the Dream Width and Native OC characters) feel the strange enhancement of feelings. The locals do not seem to be affected, except with a normal amount of confusion, which is to be expected. Hopefully someone can snap the Heroes out of it!

[Feel free to start your own top levels here and tag around to help your fellow heroes overcome the enhanced emotion they are experiencing. How? That is up to you! Talk to them, fight them, elicit other emotions through interpretive dance, serve up some delicious food so they can eat their feelings. Get creative. No one in Vaikuntha seems to know what it will take to snap them out of it, so it may take some trial and error to find a method that helps the Hero in question.]

A. February 9th

There's something strange going on, but Naomi couldn't put her finger on it. More people were coming into the hospital today, but nothing was physically wrong with them - most of them; there were some normal, actually ill or injured patients, but some were not... right in other ways.

Didn't seem entirely mental either. Just emotionally-based? Seemed harmless for now, but would it remain that way? She wrote that down in her notes with a question mark, wondering what might have brought this one. What were the early signs and what brought on the strange infliction. There's not enough information to attempt treatment, just make people wary of it.

Something to ponder later. Looking up as her door opened, she nodded, "Come in."

B. February 10th

Waking up was bizarre. Something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Not illness, but she had a feeling - a curious feeling. Hm, she wouldn't permit it to distract her from work today or taking Little Mog out. The small Moogle was excited by the prospect of Valentine's Day and perhaps getting chocolate-covered kupo nuts while they looked pink and festive.

Eh... garish to her, but if Little Mog wanted that.

... Weird how her eyes were wandering to the few Zoras about. That wasn't like her; nor was accidentally nudging anyone with her legs. "Oh... excuse me."

C. Wildcard

[OOC: Wildcard option for the later days. Naomi has a... particular target of flirty affections that she's typically more reserved about and her monster side might influence her to become a very determined arachne to reach them. Various levels of Yandere might spring up if said person is figured out.]

It was a week of indulgence, it seemed... when you craved the world, you wanted to dive headfirst into every last bit of it. What better way to celebrate a week of sheer hedonism than by dressing in something akin to a Grecian goddess: Low-cut white dress and some simple heels that she seemed to step easily enough in.

Did she desire a bit of chocolate cake? Yes please.

Did she desire that pair of shoes she saw in the window, that was maybe a tad expensive? Of course she did. Now they were hers.

As she took a seat on a bench and wiggled her toes in her brand new shoes that likely cost fairly close to a half a month's pay, she saw someone walking by. Oh my, she knew this one.

"A few days to the Big One and you're flying solo? No, no, no... that won't do."

"Hm?" Naomi raised an eyebrow, surprised, but not too much at Madhuri's interesting choice of fashion today. Were those new shoes? All of it was very much in her style, but...

Oh right, she'd mention something about Big One and flying solo.

"If you're talking about Valentine's Day, I don't participate. Last time I had to celebrate, there was a virgin sacrifice."

As always, there were more details, but the doctor wasn't going to talk about them... not while Little Mog was flitting around and partaking in the upcoming celebration decor.

"Virgin sacrifices...!" She laughed in disbelief, then wagged a finger. They didn't have to worry about that here. Plus she was pretty sure Naomi's definitely had a couple of rolls in the hay... right? Because nobody was stupid enough to pass up a good time with a woman like THAT.

"Nooo no no. Please sit with me. Take a load off. I'd adore the company."

Oh, no need to worry about Naomi being sacrificed as a virgin to anything. She had her flings here and there, and then again after transforming... but Madhuri again didn't need those details.

"Hm... I'm surprised you're not away with Papyrus right now." But she did sit down as best she could beside the tiefling woman. "Or are you taking the time to prepare for the Big One with him."

"The latter. Until then, I seek out those on their lonesome and delight them with the pleasure of my company just as they pleasure me with the company of theirs in kind."

She lounged.

"So! Is the web involved in things other than catching food~?"

"I see..." Naomi's not sure if nosing in to become company was the right way of going about it, but if that's how she's going to do it. Not her business.

... Might become her business.

"It could be."

She knew what Madhuri was implying, but there were other normal uses.

"Could, huh? Don't be coy. I could tell you easily that my whip and my tail have had ample use in a great number of ventures. The beauty of the prehensile. But!"

She wagged a finger. "I'd love to get some new... bardic inspiration."

"I see..."

Though, that hesitation still said otherwise. ... Huh, how would those relations work with a skeleton? Was there sensation in his bones? Something she would ask Madhuri when she wasn't behaving so strangely.

"Well, unless you can make your whip stick as my web can, I don't think I can offer much else."

"Long and strong. I've wound it around a number of things, so sticky doesn't need to be the name of the game. But that aside... silk rope. You don't need to give me any details, just a 'yes' or 'no'."

A 'give-give' motion.

There's a lot that Madhuri wanted to know right now... Maybe that was the difference about her right now?

"Yes. ... Also, if you want some, I can spin it."

"Whaaaat? Really? That's generous. I'd love to restock my purely-for-innocent-purposes rope."

She paused, tapped her cheek.

"People ask a lot, you know. Considering he's a skeleton and all."

"I'm not surprised. I have questions myself for medical reasons, but how things work between you and him isn't any of my business."

Until some bizarre accident happen that might have them sent to her office, but they would have better sense.

She laughed, but once she was through, she hitched her shoulders and shook her head.

"Medical reasons, huh? Well... between you and me..." Gotta check left, check right. Okay. Coast was clear.

"I have no idea how intimacy would work. I think saying the word 'sex' would kill him, all told. But it's been overwhelmingly nice not to have to worry about a man trying to get into my pants. ~Flirting isn't consent~, you see. That doesn't seem to click with some people..."

Okay, Naomi let her lip curl up at that.

"He does seem a little innocent for the discussion of sex. And yes, I know what you mean... flirting isn't consent, but it's a great way to disarm someone."

"THANK you. Yes, it's helped my companions and I bamboozle many a foe. ...And that's exactly what I tell folks. He's quite innocent, and I wouldn't wish to ruin anything by bringing up that whole thing."

She put her chin in her hands.

"Though I won't lie, my imagination sure entertains it."

"It's a matter that needs to come up in due time especially with someone like him."

And again, Naomi can only shrug.

"You're someone who already knows and enjoys the engagement. What is intercourse if not another way for two or more people to bond when participating in it together? It's something you want to share with him, too."

"Got it in one, darlin'. Hell, I think one of the most immediate things I'd like to do is introduce him to a drink. I haven't sat down and had a lovely bit of spirit in ages. But where does one start...?"

She shrugged. "I think Valentine's Day will be a day of having a few sips of vice. If he's up for it, anyway. Though now I'm curious: You look like the martini sort, if not a wine sort. Confirm or deny."

"Hm... don't most begin with beer or wine?"

She nodded at the consideration. "Go with wine then. Do you know if he would prefer something sweeter or go for dry? Hm... I suppose I enjoy deep red wines, and I'm not really one for sweet cocktails. Sake is usually my drink however if I can find some."

That's right, would he like sweet or dry wines? Probably sweet. Dry might be a little too smoky or too oak-y.

"Nakagawa! They've got the best sake. Baiken... before she found a way back home, she introduced me and I've been hooked since."

She stood and dusted off. "Well now I need to hit up a shopkeep and find a nice array of wines, then seek out my bony beau!"

"Nakagawa? Hm... I can't say I go out that way often. The next time I do, I'll see about purchasing a bottle."

Though, going to places she doesn't need to? Yeah, it would be a while.

"Alright. Good luck... and if all else, you and Papyrus can have a private wine tasting for two."

An accident, maybe. Bumping into one particular zora? Maybe not so much of an accident. He's all too eager to greet Naomi with a grin, breathing a sigh as if he's finally accomplished a long term goal.

"Oh no, that's all on me. You seem a little lost today, doctor; if you need an escort, we're closing in one the best time to find one."

Dante seems a bit more restrained than usual. Courteous, but perhaps he's learned how to better avoid annoying Naomi after previous interactions.

Well, well...

... Wait, wait? Conscious decision or not, most of her eyes come to focus on the zora that she's bumped into... or had he bumped into her? Did it matter who bumped who right now? Doesn't matter right now.

"Hm... I might be open to one. Between keeping up with an overexcited moogle and avoiding the crowd... perhaps providing some company..."
