Reused. [ACTION]

[eiusumbra]

[While the decorations for Valentine's Day came and went, Shadow still found a few stray hearts in less traveled areas of Garden. Instead of tossing them away, he takes them down and decides to make use of them.

As targets.

Armed with a long ranged rifle, Shadow is perched over a crate, aiming for the target a good forty feet away. He pulls the trigger, hitting dead center on one of them. Not bad.

This is the best way to celebrate Valentine's Day, in his opinion. Albeit late.]

Nice shooting Cupid.

[He had to okay? HE HAD TO.]

I LOL'd so hard XD

[eiusumbra]

[Shadow looks over to Marco, smirking lightly.]

I probably wouldn't make a good Cupid, though.

XDD I aim to please

[fierybluebird]

Oh I don't know about that, you seem to be doing fine so far.

[eiusumbra]

And here I thought Cupid was meant to bring hearts together, not put bullet holes in it.

[fierybluebird]

Maybe the holes just need someone to repair them, it brings them together in a way.

[Marco is weird. So weird.]

[eiusumbra]

[...Marco is a strange man.]

That's a failure on all counts of being Cupid.

[fierybluebird]

[He is at that.]

All right, I'll make sure not to shoot anyone I want to pair with someone.

[eiusumbra]

Can you even shoot? [Shadow is not impressed by your logic so far, Marco.]

[fierybluebird]

Nope! [Says it with PRIDE.]

I leave that to my okama brother Izou. And Curiel.

[eiusumbra]

[Shadow doesn't think Marco should be all that proud and give pointers about being Cupid.]

You don't plan on playing Cupid, do you?

[fierybluebird]

I'm not one for setting people up together. [He just likes the aftermath.]

[eiusumbra]

Good. [One less delinquent to be concerned about.]

[fierybluebird]

Though I like seeing people happy together.

[eiusumbra]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Why?

[fierybluebird]

For the same reason people like puppies or baby ducks!

[Uh. Give him a moment. He's daydreaming about baby ducks right now =\]

It's nice.

[eiusumbra]

...not everyone likes that.

[That made no sense. Even if Shadow had kittens at one time.]

[fierybluebird]

Kittens? Babies? Bear cubs? Baby banadiles? [No Marco. Only Crocodile finds them cute -_-']

Whatever, it's the same feeling.

[eiusumbra]

Banawhat?

[fierybluebird]

Bananadiles. Right, they don't have those here do they? They're giant crocodiles that look like they have a banana on top so that when creatures see them floating in the river they think it's just innocuous fruit.

And then the bananadiles eat them.

[eiusumbra]

[Why did this simple explanation feel like it lowered his intelligence?]

I'm certain those things aren't in this world.

[fierybluebird]

[Shrugs.] It's just as well, there aren't many things that can take down seakings but they can, so they would need to eat a lot if they were here. It'd fuck up the ecosystem too much.

[eiusumbra]

[Now all Shadow can think of is if Marco is on drugs of some sort.]

I might regret asking this, but what is a seaking?

[fierybluebird]

A big giant seasmonster, big enough to eat the Garden.

[eiusumbra]

...yeah, things like that would really disrupt things.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. The babies are still pretty cute though.

in which Kiwi borrows one of Espio's actual lines in STC-O for no good reason.

[espio]

[Espio's just going to watch this, looking somewhat baffled. Shadow is using a rifle. Does Shadow really need a rifle? Really?]

Put that gun away, Shadow, you look ridiculous.

Besides, I didn't think the hearts were that offensive.

LOL Never change, Espio. Never change.

[eiusumbra]

Coming from a pink lizard, you're one to talk.

[Now that Shadow is human, he can make remarks like that. Plus, he has no pants.]

No, they just make good targets.

[espio]

And normal targets wouldn't suffice?

[Frowns.]

Given that you're supposed to be a hedgehog [and one a good four inches shorter than him, at that] you're not in a position to comment on my species.

[eiusumbra]

A bit of change does good sometimes.

[Shadow smirks with a shrug.] Plan to do something about it? Like use your new trinket? [Shadow does wonder how far Espio has gotten with controlling that power.]

[espio]

What do you expect me to do? Turn you back into a Hedgehog?

[So far, all he can do is A. make sparkles and B. make himself homesick. Reality-warping on any level is completely out of the question.]

[eiusumbra]

Even I can't do that, so I don't expect you to.
