So White Day is supposed to be for repaying girls who give you something on Valentines, but what do you think the morality and dignity's at for giving out gifts on it without them having given you anything? Two days to figure that one out I guess.

Oh, and I'm back.

[ And he may or may not be preparing to give gifts to all sorts of girls on the 14th. Maybe. I'm still deciding personally

If you want action this is broadcast from his apartment but he will be at the Convenience Store and Battle Dome for different reasons too ]

[Action]

[So... his birthday was last month, Katara's was the other day, Neji's was a few days before that. Plus there was that (awesome) speed dating thing between all those. But! Now it is time for New Feather season, and, well... Now that things are more or less better with Katara and he is going to do something he hasn't done in while:

Go out and hit on girls. However... Frey has a girlfriend, so does Ven. Gold has whatever you quantify Crystal as, probably. So he intends to drag Cilan into it, but Cilan's a no-show. ...Man, he needs a wingman. At least he found a super cool shirt.

Oh well!! Most of the day day, around the plaza, Masaomi Kida will be finding new an inventive ways to flirt with women. No girl except ones he knows are taken is safe!! And in between that he'll be hanging out with his Pikachu, usually sitting on the edge of the fountain. Guys are also free to react to the fact he's been hitting on girls so brazenly While he's sitting there you might hear him humming something or muttering something like "maybe I should do another show..."

But then, later in the afternoon, more like evening, Masaomi will be clocking in some hours at the Convenience Store. Wherein he'll either interact with his coworkers, help out customers, or stock the shelves. Sure, it's a redundant shop, but it's officially one he works at, so he might as well work wit it. But once there, he dcides to make another voice entry:]

[Voice // Filtered to Girls]

So I have a very charming man, seeking a girlfriend! Not me, of course, though I wouldn't want you to get the idea that I'm off the market. But for now, I'm doing a solid for my good friend Cilan-san! Maybe you've met him, but he's a little shy, despite how articulate and skilled with cooking he is. After all, he didn't hit the town with me or even go to the Speed Dating!

[A little laugh, before]

Which is all the more reason you should consider a date with this high class gentleman! I'll even hook you right up.

[This whole post is forward dated lightly to the 14th/tomorrow]

[Action/Stage Setting]

[Okay so Masaomi got back to his apartment with Shikamaru in the early morn... to find that Shikamaruwas not there. He found the note, but then went to search the room of his body, and made another interesting discovery on top of the one that his friend was hospitalized. He's not really sure what to think of both of these together (particularly given that he was on a mission) but... Oh well, what's done is done and he'll see it through. So with a sigh, he packs up a little lunch and rolls up some other stuff into a bag and heads to the Dome to see him.

You can see him en route with the bag or when he's setting up things in the kitchen or anything things like that if you want. He's sort of doing this early-ish in the morning, but yeah.

After that, well, he's going to be in the Dome's clinic. Seeing Shikamaru, hanging out, and then finally getting bored with that and going to sit around the Dome proper, chatting with his Pikachu and slicing up apples for her. Maybe a bit of light training in one of the sim rooms, but for most of the day they seem to be full-ish. Aand then-]

[Voice]

E...hto. Honestly, I'd like to have another set of spars, but Linda here's more out of shape than I am from all that searching. Saaaah, not that I'll oppose any spars, I'm going to be at this Dome all week by the looks of it. But either way, who feels like a spar with me and my partner, or perhaps something more traditional like a pokemon battle? Both would give us something to do, eeeh?

[A sigh]

Also, I'm back folks. I hope the ladies didn't miss me too much while I was out? [He tries to be flirtly, but he comes out a little terse still in spite of himself.]

[Action]

[So having got back from the mission on the late 23rd, Masaomi allowed himself roughly a day to detox. He didn't even really go to do his training regime. He just went around town seeing who he could talk to and generally enjoying being back in this village. Because he does, well... like it, these days. (if you want to have your character run into him on the 24th that's cool)

But sometime on the 24th or today on the 25th, he goes to visit Mikado... and Mikado's not there. He tries the journal, and he's- gone.

Gone home, that is. Again. He stares in shock for a moment, wondering what he should feel like. He's surprised by how he can't really feel anything but a general moroseness. He's not violently enraged like last time. He's not even totally sad, really. Mikado might have been his best friend at home, but he feels so incredibly distanced from that home, that life, and that destiny, going into the future, that he knows he's going back to. What he's learned and fought with Mikado about doesn't make it any better. So on the 25th, Masaomi seeks out Anri to talk with her before going to see if there's anything neat in the item shop. He then goes back to his apartment, having found something neat (feel free to run into him during this too if you want)]

[Video]

Hey, Luceti. [Maaomi is now on the roof of his building. It's early evening, and he's propped the book up to see him sitting here in a chair. he has a flare gun in his hand and he's looking at the sky] It seems I'm the last man standing from Ikebukuro now. Weird how that works, huh?

[And then he points the flare gun straight up and shoots it - a flare into the night, like Men do (feel free to have your character action-react to a flare being shot up from the roof of C1 too). He then goes to cut off the recording

He then goes to send a message to MARS, in particular to CJ to try to summon him and haggle about a price on something]

[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]

[Action]

[Masaomi, back from his mission steps up out of the tunnels... tired. He's quite tired, as is Linda (who is resting her pokeball which is clipped onto his vest. He has on the ninja flak vest he borrow from Shikamaru forever ago and also looks a bit beat up. Some of his sleeves are torn as are his pants. He has some cuts, some bruises, and some burns, not all of them healed but some of them healing. He also has one of his collapseable batons in his hand. Aside from this, his muscle build up is more obvious but-

But something different about the image - despite all that and the rain and the injuries, he's laughing once he looks up at the sky. Stronger. Stronger. He already feels it. Well, no time like the present, despite his tired he's going out to accomplish a few things. First is actually to go pick up something to drink from the grocery and pick something up from the item shop (feel free to run into him at either of those) and head over to Mikado's apartment. It's an important day, after all, and he did not want to blow him off for it. Besides, if he heads there now, he might make it as the guy is coming back to school and he might run into him before then.

After that, well, he'll spend his day with Mikado until that night (though anyone can run into him before then). This'll last until about 8PM, when he's going to be going to hang out just inside the battle dome for a reason which might obvious to a lot of people. (and no, he still has not changed his clothes, even if he might have cleaned up the more obvious injuries). And after whatever comes of that, he's going to go back to his apartment to meet up with his roommate and anyone he didn't run into through the rest of the day before finally popping open the journal.]

[Voice]

Masaomi Kida has returned!! I hope you all didn't miss me too dearly!! [Okay so he's tried and running on caffeine by now, but he's still grinning ear to ear] Some rain out there today, and man is it wet- [he resists saying "ladies I hope you didn't get too wet if you saw me today" but it's hard. He laughs to himself at that joke despite not saying] You can tell the sky's telling us something though, riiight? We're approaching spring, a time of love and lust and all between! So sound off!! Whooooo's got a special someone? Who's got a crush? You can trust me, I'm a Love Machine.

[Laughing at this, once more]

So ladies... and gentlemen. Don't speak up all at once.

( 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.]
