I Choo Choo Choose You! A Beary Cupidbot Valentines Day!

[iamtheeggman]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Sorry Smash, you're not the only things that survived the moonpocalypse...
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: VALENTINES DAY
Warnings: L for LOVE/LUST/LONGING/LSTEAK?

Last year, everyone figured out that Eggman was behind the yearly influx of Cupidbots that wreaked hormone soaked havoc on the academy. Having been discovered, he was in no position to do it again. Besides, the mansion didn't have the resources to rebuild them even if he wanted to.

Unfortunately for everyone, including him, something of his old workshop survived and was brought to the island. Something... sinister. These weren't cupidbots, were they? No, there were... bears. Bears with shapes on their stomachs. Some looked downright cute. Others looked... more damaged. And they were going to follow their programming. They descended upon the mansion, trudging along, seeking out anyone who might get in their way. And with a beam of light from their stomachs, their targets would be lovestruck to the first person they saw.

It was time. Time to unite and put an end to the Cupidbot menace once and for all.

((OOC: No sign-ups this year, sorry. Life has been very busy for me the last couple of months. Feel free to have open posts for people to fall in love with, or make plans on Plurk! Just let the trainwreck begin!))

"Maybe it is... If Eggman IS behind it, we should find him and make this stop," Rock suggested.

Blaze barely had time to react. She threw herself and Marine at the ground, hoping the beam went right over them. She threw a hand behind her and with a blast of fire, she incinerated the bear approaching them. "Marine, are you okay?!" she asked, hoping the blast had managed to miss her in time.

He laughs lightly at that, and disentangles one of his arms from around her waist to absently stroke down his beard.

"That doesn't sound like you're complaining..." He adds, equally playful. Huh. She WASN'T complaining, was she? And he's noticed that she hasn't slapped him yet, either. He brushes her hair out of her eyes.

"And I know those bears are out of sight, but... I think I just might want to stay here a little longer."

"Well, it sure wasn't terrible," she admitted. Her mind was a bit of a fog, between the kiss and the impact the bear lasers had on her. She knew that was part of it. But she wondered in the back of her mind whether she'd be acting the same way even if her hormones weren't getting a bit of a kick in the pants right now...

Perhaps that's why she answered, "I think so too. Besides, if they show up again, we should probably stay very close... You know, just to be safe," she suggested, unable to help a playful look on her face.

Marine rolled over onto her back and groaned.

"We never 'ad it this bad under Captain Whisker." She sighed, stood up, and brushed the dust off her clothes.

"What in the bloomin' 'eck is going on, Blaze? This place has gone right troppo!"

[garmentgoddess]

"Of course! Uh...hey, I'll get that door for you." Rene probably would have done that anyway, but she sure wouldn't have done it with that flourish.

[vela_nova]

Blaze dusted herself off and got to her feet, checking Marine over to make sure she was okay. "No, we didn't," she explained. "Captain Whisker never chased people down and tried to make them fall in love."

She sighed. It felt so weird to have to explain it, but she did her best. "Back at the academy, Eggman created these robots that had weaponry that made people fall in love at first sight. We called them Cupid bots. I'd HOPED that was one of the things we left behind with Final Destination City, but it seems Eggman is up to his old tricks again, somehow."

[trustycrowbar]

"Yeah... you can't be too careful."

He bodily lifts her again into a kiss (he just likes doing that.)

Now, some readers might wonder just what happens to them late that night. How far the night takes them. What chances they take under the guise of the intoxicating subliminal spell they're under.

They might be disappointed. An hour later they're in a sitting room, lying together in an intimate pile on a couch, Gordon stroking her back idly as they read from the book collection on his tablet.

...actually, there's something about the scene that might cause MORE people to cough and backpedal if they walked in on it.

At least the Bears seemed placated enough to leave them alone. It was a cute, cuddly evening without incident from that point on, and eventually they fell asleep together on the couch peacefully.

Shantae had to admit it was pretty nice.
