Open Mingle - Discount Candy

[phantommods]

Anyone visiting the safehouse during the latter part of Valentine's Day will find that Shinji has continued his yearly tradition of going out later in the day and buying up about a metric ton of discounted candy and putting it out on the tables. It's pretty much open season, a little "thank you" for everyone who's been working so hard.

Feel free to help yourself and get to know your fellow thieves. Or sit down and take a load off, currently playing is an old movie about a huge mass of muscles vaguely shaped like a man with a bad accent fighting an invisible murderalien in the jungle. Festive!

Palaces are rough, and they can be really exhausting trying to get through, so, Locke's hanging at the safehouse today taking a break, half-watching the movie and helping himself to the candy. He's always happy to offer some to anybody who's around, as well as chat.

He's not honestly THAT interested in the movie.

Sinbad was flopped on his end of the couch, texting at a rapid-fire pace on his phone, sparing a few moments to grab some of chocolate pieces, one leg rudely hooked over the arm of the couch.

"Ugh... those palaces never get any easier, can't believe how wiped I get after them." The teenager whined after his phone vibrated wildly, whatever message he got might have prompted his complaint.

[returnher]

Yeah, you pretty much have to take it easy after.

[Locke tosses a can of pop Sinbad's way]

[He catches it feeling it slipped before grabbing it, tapping the top of it for a few minutes, the actions of someone who got burned by too many carbonated explosions]

Had to cancel my plans today, and I'm getting an earful for it...

[returnher]

Ouch. Yeah, if you're gonna go into the Palace, don't even try to make plans afterward. It's not gonna go well.

[conquerorofwaves]

[He winces slightly]

Lesson learned, doing a lot of virtual grovelling and promises to make up for it. I reeally don't wanna be known as the guy that flakes.

[returnher]

Girlfriend?

[You fucked up son]

[conquerorofwaves]

No.. it was just a date, nothing serious, but nooot a good first impression.

[returnher]

Oh yeah, might've screwed that one up. Well, good luck patching it. Want any of these candy hearts? We have like 500 packs of them and nobody'll touch them.

[Lest of all himself, gotta draw the line somewhere]

[conquerorofwaves]

[He's quickly firing off another text, lips pursed before setting the phone down, eyeing the packs of hearts]

Ew, they taste like chalk. Like if chalk can go stale, that's what it taste like.

[returnher]

Well yeah that's why we still have a bunch.

At least the owner was in a good mood for Valentine's Day. While he is still single, he is just happy to see how the other thieves managed to take a load off after their Palace and Mementos visits.

In fact, he is actually in the same mood as he is busy grooming himself in the safehouse's mirror. Guess he's going somewhere for today, huh?

Sure, Valentine's Day is more for couples and dates. But for Cyan, he's more interested in chocolate. In fact, he spends the day grabbing a few candies for himself and browsing social media to check on his friends back home.

In his honesty, he is relieved of this holiday, but he can't help thinking about finding someone to help him celebrate this day of love other than his family.
