[It seems Jack had been so busy diabolically plotting the acquisition of Torchwood Thor and all the technicalities, legalities, and other such things ending in "ities" that went along with it that he almost forgot that there was flirting to be done. Almost. A fairly well-learned man, he was aware that this was a relatively special day for a certain goddess he knew. Despite his tendency to be a bit of an ass regarding things of the couple-y nature, he knew better than to forget her birthday. The average woman may scream, throw things, or force him to sleep in his car, but she was no ordinary woman. Forgetting such a thing would be sacrilege.]
[So now he found himself wandering through the grove (what is with this ship and randomly putting things places this is getting confusing), looking for her. And as it so happened he dressed in a rather nice suit that he totally did not steal what are you talking about, because hey, he knows the ladies love a man in Armani.]
[Oh look! There she is! And now there's that grin the beats hearts of

[Clearly he knows her well. Others may see fit to bring her fruit or silk, but come on now. The best gift he could bestow upon her would be himself. Just dressed a little nicer.]
You could say that. [Wink ~oh what a naughty man he had been]
So! [And he's seated himself beside her.] Tell me a bit more of this holy day of yours.
are you ready.........to do some paperwork?gunpowderreasonApril 19 2010, 02:50:40 UTC
[Whatever was happening outside, things in 5-1 were pretty normal. Hawkeye was seated at the couch with a cooling mug of tea and mounds of papers piled on the coffee table, steadily making her way through notation after notation. Hayate tumbled out of her room full force, going to town on the squeaky toy Sergeant Fuery had bought him. Having already learned to mentally block the sound, for several minutes she paid him no mind as he rolled around with the ball like a young puppy on the common area floor. Eventually Hawkeye realized she was having an extremely hard time concentrating on the forms in front of her, and that her attention was being draw time and again to her suddenly exuberant dog. This was very unlike her, but the harder she tried to concentrate, the more often she found herself watching Hayate make an utter fool of himself

I think you mean "paperwork", LieutenantyouresoshortApril 19 2010, 03:05:18 UTC
(Roy came out of his room when he heard the laughter, more to investigate than anything. It wasn't often that the Lieutenant laughed so freely. There was definitely a disturbance in the force somewhere.
He yawned as he came out, as he had been taking a nap before. A light one, mind you, too much had happened lately to make him a heavy sleeper. Ruffling his hair slightly, he looked over at the Lieutenant.)
I am pretty sure I mean paperwork, actually...gunpowderreasonApril 19 2010, 03:27:21 UTC
[She was pretty much laughing in earnest now, doing her best to contain it behind her hand and shaking shoulders. Not trusting herself to answer properly, she gestured at Hayate--who obediently hammed it up and made a dramatic dive for his new toy, complete with something that looked suspiciously like a tuck-and-roll--and looked up at the Colonel.]
[Oh sir your hair is sticking in a million directions...]
[As per usual, Fai was seated comfortably beneath the largest tree he could find. His head was resting against the solid truck, his hood pulled over his face acting as a thin pillow. His eyes were covered and his breathing slow, but steady.
He was resting silently. Fai had noticed a rather enticing aroma earlier, making it so much easier to drift asleep. It was a light sleep and he found himself stirring awake for a moment or two before simply closing his eyes again.]
[The wonderful smells had drawn her here. Smells of fruits and flowers in profusion. It was, perhaps, the closest she'd yet found to home, to the Serenes Forest and its tall, ageless, whispering trees. Nothing could replace that, perhaps...but this helped somewhat.]
[The abundance of plantlife was certainly encouraging, even if Leanne wasn't quite sure why she'd never found this grove before. To have missed something like this!]
[But she'd found it now, and that was all that mattered, for the moment. Charmed by the sights and sounds - and the aromas - she had been content to simply wander about, listening, watching. She didn't seem to be alone...so many other people were here, as well! Though she could not blame them
( ... )
[Fai had almost slipped into a complete sleep, when he heard a faint voice. It was almost inaudible, yet he could tell it was close. Blinking his eyes open, he glanced up to see the voice's source. All his eyes met were darkness, which confused him for a moment, until he remembered it was his cloaks hood.
Pulling it back, he looked up to see a rather lovely young lady. She seemed engrossed by the tree, having a similar reaction to him when he first noticed it. He remained silent for a moment, merely watching her.]
[Intoxicated by the beautiful smell, Flynn found himself wandering about through the grove. Unfortunately, he was enjoying the scent a bit too much and was wandering with his eyes closed, and not paying attention to where he was going...]
[Another unfortunate that Chii happened to be bent over one of the potted plants, staring at the roses. They looked like the flowers at Minouru's home. Whilst pondering, Chii hadn't noticed what was going on around her-]
Chii!
[An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by another force.]
[Too bad Chii knew nothing of Newton's Laws, and toppled over from the sudden impact.]
[Unless Flynn was mistaken, that felt vaguely like the rear end of a young woman that he had just carelessly bumped into and knocked over. His eyes snapped open and his brain clicked into Knight mode.]
I am so sorry!! Are you alright Miss!?
[Acting mostly on instinct, he thrust out his hand to help the poor woman up.]
[Hope was sitting on a stump. Just sitting. Taking in the sights and smells. This grove reminded him of when he arrived on Gran Pulse for the first time.
No, that wasn't right. For all the nature that surrounded him, he was still aware that he was still sitting inside a metal shell. If anything, this reminded him of that school trip he took to the sunleth waterscape all those years ago. Long before the purge. Long before he watched his mother die. Long before becoming a l'Cie, before becoming a tool in a fal'Cie plot. So he sat there, and tried to remember a time where his life wasn't so complicated, if only for a little while.]
[Youmu was talking a stroll that day, reminiscing about Yuyuko-sama and what she was doing at this point in time...no, she already knew she was most likely eating a twenty-five course meal. It brought back some nostalgic thoughts during that one spring they shared, fighting for what they believed in.]
[As she stared upwards, she bumped into a boy that seemed to be sitting down on a stump. Because Youmu was a half-ghost, and her weight was not very high at all, she fell backwards onto the grass below.]
[He whirled around and saw a girl lying on the grass. It didn't take him long to put two and two together and figure out she must have bumped into him and fallen down. Immediately he sprang to his feet and went over to her.]
Hey, are you all right?
[He offered the girl his hand to help her back up.]

Of course~ Is that a new suit? [a small purr and blatant appreciation of the lovely present Jack was so kind to wrap in Armani~]
