[Another White Day in Luceti.  Though Adell has come to think that Valentine's Day works better as a universal holiday, there's one thing that can be said about White Day:  most likely, he'll be in his right mind and not messed with by experiments, leaving him free to do what he needs to do.  This White Day won't be quite as busy in terms of numbers as the last one, thankfully.  There's only two people really on his mind for this one.

So, throughout the early part of the day, morning and early afternoon, he's out doing some shopping, stopping in the general store and the flower shop, to get the various things he needs for his plan.   He can be seen in the village any time during that phase.  Clearly he's up to something.

After he's done running his errands there, he'll disappear for awhile, then return back home to House 44.   Housemates can catch him there.   He's looking for Luka at first, to give her a gift of homemade chocolate and a bouquet of freshly cut red and pink flowers, mostly as a gift to show his appreciation and care for her.  If she tries to hide from him, he'll leave them in her room on her nightstand.

But his final leg of his plan involves Charlotte, and he's off to find her a little while before sunset.]

[Someone's busy, today. Sylvia catches him in the house -- well, it would be more fitting to say that she sees him down the hall and voices a greeting, as is appropriate.]

Ah. Good afternoon.

[Adell pauses as he's about to enter his room, and then he looks back down the hall. He smiles when he sees her, though. And he steps back out to talk.]

Hey, Sylvia! How are ya?

[She closes the distance between them as she speaks. Sorry, she won't keep you long.]

Fine, as usual. You look energetic.

[He doesn't look bothered. In fact, he's always happy to talk to her.]

Just been a busy day today. Training, then errands. But I'm feelin' pretty good.

[He's excited. And he has plans that he's looking forward to, considering the day.]

[The fact that she relies on beyond (or, rather, around) words makes it feel as though the excitement is way in her face. Which is a good sign, she supposes. It's always better to be in a good mood. And she's curious -- ]

Errands?

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Had to get together a few things. Today's kind of an important day.

[vanhossen.livejournal.com]

Today is . . .

[March 14. She racks her mind for the appropriate answer.]

White Day. I think it's a holiday they celebrate on Earth, right?

[Action]

[vanhossen.livejournal.com]

[ -- right. White Day. An Asian custom. She nods.]

It's supplementary to Valentine's Day . . . or so I heard.

[Action]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, though apparently it's women are supposed to do nice, romantic things for men on Valentine's, and men return the favor on White Day.

...Though I don't mind doing nice things on both, personally.

[vanhossen.livejournal.com]

Holidays have a way of working that way.

. . . So your errand involves returning the favor from a month ago. [A pause. She's pretty sure of who Adell is going to give something to. Isn't it obvious?]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[He gives a nod.]

Yup. It's a surprise, though... so don't go saying anything to anyone, all right?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[A little before sunset, she's well.

Well she was planning to watch the sunset, so she's in a lawn chair in the lawn. It's getting to be warm enough she can reasonably do this so don't question her methods]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Well, there's enough time... More than enough time to do what he wants to do. Hopefully she'll just go with what he has in mind. ...Even if she doesn't right away, it could still work.

So, have Adell come up from behind and leans down behind her to wrap his arms around her shoulders. And he leans in and kisses her quickly on the cheek.]

Hey.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[She just softly grins, petting the side of his face a little with a reach-around]

Hey, Adell.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[He smiles a little bit, enjoying that gentle, sweet contact along his cheek. But he's a man on a mission.]

Happy White Day. ...I have something to give you.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Oh! Like what?

[And now her position shifts to look at Adell's face better]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't very well tell you, can I? It'd ruin the surprise. But...

I can show you, if you follow me.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Of course. [With a little flourish, she stands. Yeeep. Lead on, man]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[Oh no, he'll lead. But first thing's first. He will take her hand and hold it as he begins to walk.

They're actually not going back into the house. He begins leading her down the path leading toward the square.]

Hope I didn't keep you in too much suspense, Charle.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Oh, cool. Hand in hand, she swings her ways towards the the plaza. She tries not to think too hard about what... the gift is. But when asked-]

Mm, well~ I am curious.

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Well, you'll find out very soon! Though we'll need to be quick!

[He increases his walking speed just a bit, walking them through the plaza... and toward Community Building 7, of all places.]

I think you'll like it.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

I better. [She said in a mock threatening tone because wow now she's starting to be get curious because what is this pathway]

[Her only reply at first is a knowing smile. And without hesitation he leads her inside. Though he stops at the staircase, and looks over to her.]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

[He grins mischievously for a moment. And then... he quickly sweeps her into his arms bridal style, and begins ascending the stairs.]
