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!))

What about defending someone who's definitely not a friend?

Garrett was surrounded and he was running low on arrows. A particularly nasty looking bear had him cornered and was slowly approaching, and the thief was taking aim with his last fire arrow so he didn't see Rock arrive.

Well... He was technically defending everyone, so he would defend Garrett at least. Rock raised his Mega Buster and fired a shot through the bear's head, in order to disable it.

Garrett lowered his bow and looked for the source of the blast. Of course it had to be this kid.

"I guess I owe you one."

[megabuster]

Rock thought Garrett owed a lot of things. The least of which being thanks for saving him. Perhaps an apology for putting them all in danger for his own greed? That would be a great start. But since it was something he was never going to get, Rock just glared for a moment.

"You're welcome," he said. "Make sure you watch your back, these things are everywhere."

[itsjustrats]

"I noticed." Garrett replied flatly. "The longer we stay here, the more this place feels like more of the same. The hell is that doc thinking, setting these stupid things loose-"

He cut off, grabbed another arrow, notched it and sent it whistling right past Rock's head. A pink teddy bear was impaled on the opposite wall.

[megabuster]

"But is this really Eggman?" Rock asked, taking another pot shot at approaching bears. "He always used those cupid bots previously, didn't he? And I don't think he has the resources here to build new robots easily!"

[itsjustrats]

"Similar m.o." Garrett mused. "Same time of year. Too much of a coincidence, if you ask me."

He knocked the head clean off the next bear he shot at.

"Unless there's someone else around here that has an army of teddy bears at their disposal."

[megabuster]

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