[Between make-up and natural recovery, Hikaru looks pretty good now. Definitely not like he got a beat down awhile ago. He looks at the camera, one brow arched.]

So. 'Bout that whole. "Evil Valentine's Day" thing people kept going on and on and on about...

This was kind of anti-climactic, y'know?

I mean. Seriously. Nothing.

Booooring.

[Someone doesn't know not to tempt fate, obviously.]

...This place has been nothing but peaceful since I showed up. I mean, seriously. So dull.

I would not be so easy-going. [A sigh, and she shakes her head, her expression turning serious.]

I recently found that the floor of my apartment had another person living on it - one who had been taken by the Malnosso for over a month before finally returning to find that there was someone else on the same floor of his building when she was not there before. If disappearances like that are commonplace, I would not think that this place is as peaceful as you seem to assume.

Nothing like that's happened to us. Just the whole "kidnapping us to bring us here, giving us wings" bull.

'Has not' is not 'will not', stranger. Just because it has not happened to you yet does not mean it is impossible for it to do so.

It's still boring.

Then simply find other ways to occupy your time, if boredom plagues you so.

Well, this place is supposed to be cool, y'know? So having this whole thing hyped up and then... non-event. So stupid.

[Twitch.]

I find it hard to believe that a prison so willing to take us from our homes and leave every last person, mortal or not, more vulnerable by attaching wings that have no use to us, is 'cool' in the least. [It still sounds so strange to say that slang but she'll continue anyway.] If you are so disappointed that nothing terrible is happened, you might as well cause something terrible on your own if you are that starved for it.

It's not as much fun if we cause it ourselves. Besides, none of our usual toys are here.

[Is she talking to a teenager or a child? Right now she's having trouble telling.]

Then simply find a new 'toy'. It cannot be that difficult.

[Hikaru grins at the camera. A merciless, plotting grin.]

Are you volunteering?

... Am I volunteering for what?

[She just missed something, didn't she. She's just staring, confused and unsure if she should be on edge with that grin or not.]

To be our toy.

You did say to find a new one.

[Give her a second. Because maybe she just misheard him saying that he wanted her to be a toy.]

[No, actually, she probably hasn't. She just frowns at him, seeming put out by the comment.]

I thought you had meant a thing to use in a game, not a person.

Of course I mean a person.

[Again, there's a definite "duh" in his tone.]

[She's definitely irritated by this point. That tone is horrible, and her expression is a clear reflection of what she thinks of him.]

You would have trouble finding any who would wish for such a... Position. Much less someone already busy with work of their own. Find someone else.

Aw! That's cute! You think you have a choice.

[Oh, Adela. You poor, poor thing.]

That's for us to decide.

You're not as interesting as Haruhi, but you might do.

Wha-- I am no one's toy!

That's what you say.

Find someone else to play your foolish game, as I am not nor will I ever be a toy to anyone.

[A huff as she's flushing red, clearly beyond cross then.]

I had hoped to learn of Valentine's Day from you, but it seems that the effort was in vain if you are going to try and use me as a mere object.

Hey, you're the one who told me to find a new toy.

I had not thought that you meant a person.

[Wait...]

Please do not tell me that such a thing is commonplace in your world.

Depends who you talk to. For me and Kaoru? Definitely is.

Well, I refuse to be used simply because you wish it to be so. Why in the world would you use a person as a 'toy' in the first place?
