[Video/Action]

[Masaomi is wearing this... (also this bracelet) and he's upside down. Specifically, he is standing on the ceiling of the grocery store and has his journal propped up on one of the shelves to record him being on the ceiling. He's doing this to be swagilicious, and you are free to walk in on him or see the video, but he begins with a laugh and a nod]

Greetings, greeting Luceti! I know, I was thinking I'd roll with the mood of love we've had for a while now and set up some dates, but I didn't find any chocolates in the grocery. I took this as a sign that the time for steamy romance might not be just now, and I've decided to request of you something I don't usually do! [He spreads his arms wide and begins to pace... on the ceiling. He's really straining his chakra control here and anyone who knows the look for the signs will notice that despite trying to look flippant, he is concentrating quite a bit.] Namely, does anyone wish to try one of those fabled spars with me and my partner? I promise, it won't be something you regret! [And with a wink, and releases himself from the ceiling. He flips himself in the air as he falls and lands on his feet. He groans when he does because that impact was harder than he thought it would be, but he switches the journal off afterwards.

...Feel free to see him in there, of course. He'll be waiting for responses there after, sitting in a chair eating an apple with Linda the Pikachu doing the same next to him]

( self indulgent stage setting )

[Action // Forward Dated to Tuesday (17th)]

[And sometime about midday tomorrow, Masaomi is in the square It might be a bit dubious to recognize him even if you know him because his hair is dark brown now instead of the blonde people might have been used to (that was dyed okay) but he's back to being a peppy version of himself. Namely, right now, he's leaping up onto the fountain, climbing up onto it and then shouting for the plaza to hear-]

Heeellllooo~ Luceti~!! Boys and girls, particularly the ladies- aaah! Yes, particularly those, but guys too, who wants to go to the hot spring?! It's cool and it's stressful now and I'm sure some of you want to go, right? [He puts a hand on his ear as if expecting some cheers and shouts, even if none come he snaps his fingers and somewhat less loud, assuming he has some people's attention by now] Of course!

I promise not to peek, I'm just not that kind of guy! But we should make a party of it, right?! Right?! Ah... actually...

[He drops now, to the edge of the fountain and then skillfully leaping onto the ground itself, adopting a thoughtful pose. A very thoughtful one, stroking his chin] I do say ladies, and I mean that! Buuuu~t before I break any more hearts, I guess this is the time to mention that I, Masaomi Kida [And he puts a hand on his heart, and puts on a woeful expression] have a secret crush!! Try not to die of shock, I promise to still be sweet to you!!

[And then he bursts out laughing. Yes, he's forcing himself, but he's so back.]

( Information beforehand )

[Voice]

Everyone. Ah, I - I... [...No, he can't do it. He can't be calm]

Son of bitch! No! [And then he throws the cell phone clean across the room. It hits the wall with a loud sound - it's not broke, not quite, but the battery pops out of the back and the screen cracks. But who cares. Now, now? His voice is pained beyond anything people have heard in Luceti since about when Mikado was sent home, but this pain is different - Mikado's was cold fury, this one is erratic fury and sorrow and... well yeah]

Why now?! [Voice break] Why- dammit, [He grits his teeth] Dammit!

[Voice]

Hi-ho everyone, Masaomi Kida here! I'd just like all you lovely ladies to know that things might be a little grim around here for a while! After all, the hero that is me is being shipped out for a mission tomorrow morning, so~ Things might be bleak, but keep the faith! After all, I'll be back before you know it!

[Yes, that'll do. Now he'll just hang out in his apartment with Saki, respond to whoever replies, and go from there]
