35th Hangover - The Captain is a Gentleman [Mother's Day Event!]

[heartstar_blues]

[Ladies of the town, The Captain is looking for you! Yes, ALL OF YOU!

Girls of any age.

You might run into him doing one of the following.]

A) [Action]

[The Captain is knocking on your door. He has an arm full of roses he just bought. Some are pricking him, and he has plenty of cuts by now. He is delivering one to each female of your house

[Why would you give fresh-cut flowers to the nature spirit who hates fresh-cut flowers. Why.]

What is the occasion?

A

[heartstar_blues]

[Because you're a moron.]

The occasion is I am in a good mood. Here you go, I hope you have a great day.

A

[plantenough]

[She takes them very slowly, as if they might bite.]

They've made you a drone, haven't they?

A

[heartstar_blues]

Nope, just in a good mood today.

I'm still The Captain.

A

[plantenough]

Your... language. It's much less colorful. [She's so not buying it.]

A

[heartstar_blues]

Really? Just because I didn't ☠☠☠☠ curse in a short conversation I'm no longer me?

Do I seriously say ☠☠☠☠ that much?

A

[plantenough]

[SO CONFUSED.]

You don't feel any different? Have you even noticed that you're bleeding?

A

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah, ☠☠☠☠ thorns are worse than I thought.

Be careful with that.

A

[plantenough]

[She's clearly not getting anywhere by being direct.]

Come with me, you need to clean those wounds. [She takes the flowers to keep him from further injuring himself.]

A

[heartstar_blues]

Oh, yeah, that's probably smart.

[He'll come along. Heading wherever she tells him to go.]

A

[plantenough]

[To the kitchen! This is going to ruin some of nice, fluffy handtowels, but what does she care. The flowers are just... going over there on the table.]

Tell me, how often do you wake up with an urge to injure yourself just to deliver a gift? [Because she's still not convince you're not a drone.]

: A

[heartstar_blues]

I didn't want to hurt myself here, I'm not stupid.

[Ha... hahahahaha.]

A

[plantenough]

...That's debatable. [She grabs one of his arms and starts cleaning the blood off with a wet towel. She's a little rough only because she's frustrated with not getting the answers she wants. Stupid drones!]

A

[heartstar_blues]

Hey! I'm trying to be nice here.

This is why I don't do it that often, no one takes me seriously. What's the ☠☠☠☠ point, right?

[He's going to wince and squirm when she does that. For a super hero, he doesn't take pain well.]

A

[plantenough]

I learned long ago not to take things at face value. You are putting up a rather good fight.

[She's careful not to add "for a drone". She reaches over to a bowl on the counter and offers him a large, purple fruit.] Here, this will heal you faster.

Re: A

[heartstar_blues]

And I learned next time to buy those yellow flowers.

[Okay, he frowns at that fruit.

But it is mother's day, so he takes it. Closing his eyes and tries to thikn of happy thoughts before taking a bite.]
