My Funny Valentine

[KarotsaMused]

Singles Awareness Day. It's coming up. And, *bats eyelashes*, if you want to express your love for me, you can tell me how you'd best like it exploited within the parameters of The Breakroom.

Shall we be methodical a la Tenpou's expounding upon the origins of the Christmas tree?

Shall someone get stuck in character? And what -sort- of character at that?

Bad Cowboy Bebop puns are welcome But really, I figure y'all are a better goldmine for this than anything else. Fire on.

Oh god...I'm such an addict. I saw the thread title and I immediately thought of the Cowboy Bebop episode.

I'll try to think of something for The Breakroom as well, though.

[kanshu]

here's some random Valentine scene for you...

*knock at the door of Kou-tachi appartment*
*Kou opens door. He sees Homura, who has a pot with flowers (self-grown!) in one hand, a chocolate cake heart on a neatly arranged plate (will we ever know who made it? ) in the other*
Homura: May I speak to the lovely lady of the house?
Kougaiji (thinks: He's not talking about Lirin, I hope...): There are two ladies in this house.
Homura (threatens Kou with flowerpot): You better get Yaone here on the double...
Kougaji (angry): Hey! What kind of language is that? What happened to your manners?
Homura (melodramatic): How can I be polite when I'm kept from the fair maiden who has my heart in her hands?
Kougaiji (sufficiently alienated, thinks: Ooookay... What did he smoke?) (calling): Yaone!
Yaone (dressed in sexy dress that makes Kou swoon): You called, Kougaiji-sama?
Kougaiji (all but drooling): You have a visitor.
Homura (sweet as cotton candy): My lovely Lady, oh how I missed thy raven hair and (..goes into lengthy wordy sweettalk) ... please accept these token of my undying affection for you.
Yaone (beams with delight and accepts the gifts): Homura-sama... you didn't have to!
Kougaiji (thinking: this is *not* happening): You heard the lady, Homura.
Yaone (a bit embarrassed): That's not what I meant, Kougaiji-sama...
Homura: You heard the Lady, Kougaiji.
*kneels down before Yaone*
Yaone (enter more sweet names, enough to give you bad teeth), marry me.
Yaone: .... (to shocked to say a word, though her expression can be interpreted as 'too happy to think' )
Kougaji: Say, WHAT???
Homura: You want me to repeat it for you? (looks at Kou, still kneeling) Yaone, (eyes glistening evilly, and he repeats slowly begings the entire line from before)...
*the door is opened and Dokugakuji enters. He has a bottle of expensive wine in one hand, and a pretty rose in the other. Dokugakuji sees Yaone with presents, Homura kneeling in front of Kou)
Homura: ...marry me.
Dokugaku (not quite sure what to make out of the situation):... Good evening.
Kou, Yaone, Homura (each in their own fashion): Good evening, Dokugakuji.
Doku: Did I interrupt something?
Kou (glaring at Homura): No...
Homura (glaring at Kou): Yes...
(both get up)
Doku: Good. (ignores the two)
Yaone, (takes the cake & flowerpot from Yaone and places them on the table, and hands her the vine and rose), this rose doesn't match your beauty, and the wine can't compare to your sweetness... Would you care to spend the evening with me?
Yaone (eyes widening): D-dokugakuji!
Homura: Hey, what you think you're doing?
Kou: That's *my* line!
Homura: Yaone, I can't allow you to go out with that oaf.
Yaone: Oh?
Dokugaku: Oi, you might be our resident war god, but if you think you can boss around my lady friend here...
Homura: *Your* Lady friend? (sparks sizzle around him) You're not up to date, cretin. Yaone is my fiance!
Yaone: I am?
Doku: She is? I thought I'd heard you propose to Kou just a few minutes ago...
Kou (glares): He did not.
.....
(More later, I hope...)

[Me-Nuriko]

That gave me a laughing fit! ;D

Poor Yaone, or maybe lucky Yaone, having three bishounen drooling for her . I suspect she has the last word in this anyway.

[treneka]

Oh, that's funny! Write it up, for the love of little red apples! *laughing*

*in a melodramatic announcer voice:* Who will she choose? Will there be a fist-fight, or a shot-gun wedding? Is Shien's secret passion for the art of pastry finally revealed?! DID YAONE PUT HOMURA UP TO IT?!?! *positively ecstatic with the goofiness* I'm staying tuned for the next installment.

[KarotsaMused]

*giggle* This has quickly become Opti's Spoiler Thread. Although I'm as in-the-dark as you are. But it ought to up the ratings

Treneka: Thanks a bunch for your suggestions! I *loved* the one about Kenren. Then again, I would. ;D

MsCongeniality: No worries. Bebop connections happen far too often. And if you do get an idea, you've got until perhaps the 12th of February to get it to me

Me-Nuriko: Yes, one would hope Yaone gets the final word. Otherwise I envision a *hell* of a tug-of-war.

[kanshu]

What do you mean, spoiler thread? You did ask for ideas, didn't you?

I'm glad you all got a smile out of the first scene.

Here's the continuation:

*before anyone can say anything else, it knocks again*
Kou: This better be someone sane...
*opens door. Hakkai stands there with a book and a nicely wrapped, small box*
Hakkai (smiling): Good evening, Kougaiji-san. May I speak with Yaone-san, please?
Kou (mutters under his breath): No, you most definately may NOT.
Hakkai (raises eyebrows): I'm sorry, but it seems I couldn't understand what you just said.
Kou: Never mind. Come in and pull a number.
Hakkai (enters): Oh, you're having a party, to celebrate the day? (greets everyone appropriately)
Doku: No, I just wanted to pick up Yaone for a dinner date.
Homura: Don't you dare going out with my betrothed!
Kou: Who says that I'll give her the evening off?!?
Hakkai: Eh?
Yaone (rolls eyes): Don't mind them. (looks at book&present in Hakkai's hands and smiles) Are those for me?
Hakkai: A-haha... (smile falls) I'm afraid, not. These are for a special someone. But if I had known...
*(in the background, you can still hear the other three squabble. Doku and Homura go through the classic moves of 'mine is bigger than yours' - all for Yaone's protection, and we are talking about their swords, so get your mind out of the gutter...)*
Yaone: *plants a kiss on Hakkai's cheek* Believe me, Hakkai-san, I'm very grateful that you didn't bring any presents. So... who's the lucky girl?
Hakkai: Well, Konzen owes me a favor for helping him out during The Crisis-that-shalt-not-be-named (both shudder at the memory)... So I asked him if he could give the book and the box to Kanzeon...
Yaone: Kanzeon...?!

*****

And the rest, I'll send to Karots, so that she can decide if she considers this blabbering useful for the Breakroom

Of course, you can specualte now on a) if Hakkai has something going on with Kanzeon b) who's the one Yaone got dressed up sharp for c) if Doku and Homura will ever be able to untwine their... equipment (sorry, too much Spaceballs

[Blood_Debt]

Karots, you have to use it.

Envisions:

Goku bouncing up and down on his chair, XBox controller in hand, absent-mindedly humming, and saying

"Boinky-boinky-boinky." Gojyo edges away slightly, frowning.

"Uh... Goku?" Gojyo questions. He wonders if all the slash fictions have finally got through to the poor, (not-so) innocent brunet, especially since the oncoming Singles awareness day meant an entire barrage of romance and love,"I think you mean boingy..."

*points accusing finger* Now that, was Opti's fault. Because she didn't mention Goku or Gojyo, the image just popped into my head, I swear.

[KarotsaMused]

pre-breakfast? or ... perhaps sometimes after lunch?

The rest goes without saying.

[slizziechan]

*reads first post in thread*

Hah!


*dies laughing*

I can think of a few Cowboy Bebop puns.

[kanshu]

So, will the Lovebird Express arrive in time at Breakroom Central Station? ;D

[KarotsaMused]

o.O; Train imagery!

Shall I tell you a secret?
It's been done since last week. Iapetus has been good enough to keep her mouth shut about that. But I'm a stickler for dramatic timing.

It goes up at 10PM Pacific time. If you want a point of reference, that's eight hours behind the international dateline. Synchronize your watches!

[kanshu]

*tries desperately to uncramp her facial muscles*

Seriously...

*fails miserably, as she falls into another grinning fit*

I knew the dialogue, but...

*gets stared at by colleague at the desk across*

... That made me laugh so hard, I think I'll be useless for the upcoming meeting. THANK YOU.

*takes files and runs off, still grinning like mad*
