Send “stolen” to steal a kiss from my muse.

The cyborg lets out a surprised squeak, a dark blush quickly flaring up on his face. Nervously giggling, he presses his gloved hands to his cheeks. It's.. been a little while since anyone was so openly affectionate towards him like that. That could have just been an innocent gesture, right?"I-I, uh~.."

Yeah, no. At least he'd be cute if he was in the owl suit. They just did that on purpose to a scarred and mangled cyborg. That was either a gesture of love or to make him feel better. He's not too sure how to deal with either of those.. Oh, hell, just quit being so flustered and hug the girl."You're an odd one, Valery. But I'm glad I know you."

What a cute little hoodie-wearing sweetheart. It's almost as if fortune opted to show him a moment of kindness in this dark hour. He's not sure if it's enough, though. Being the owl is constantly on his mind. They're simultaneously a distraction from and reminder of that, though not an unpleasant one, and certainly not unwelcome.

Send me a ♥ and i’ll generate a number!

3. Kiss on the forehead

Valery looks like they’re expecting some affection! He certainly can provide. Grabbing the woman by the shoulders, he plants a soft kiss on their forehead. Then, he pulls back with a wide smile and a slight blush. A lovely little lady, they are~.  “Hi there, cutie~! I got something for you.”

21. My muse will get yours a gift (can’t be any of the ones above)

He pulls something rolled-up out of his hoodie pocket. He really hopes they like this.. and that they don’t already have something similar. Unfurling it, he holds the item up for them. A panda bear hoodie, complete with ears and tail.  “Another one for your collection.”

He’s also curious. Will this suddenly be animate when they wear it, just like the others? Because there doesn’t seem to be anything special about the rest that allow them to portray the woman’s emotions. Plus, they didn’t even seem to be aware of that effect.  “I wanted to get a grizzly bear one, so it’d be closer to Freddy.. But, I couldn’t find any.”

(How did I miss this?!)

No… no… and no. So far, all the places she applied to were either full, not to her hopes or just didn’t feel right. Ever since the old Pizzeria went down, Valery was left with to find another job she can find in the meantime. Why did the old place go down…? She sighed as she put the wanted ads away. Before she could think of something she could do next, a voice called out to her. It sounded familiar. She turned and saw a man walk up to her. He was covered in scars and didn’t look like anyone she seen yet… his voice seemed very familiar. Then they mentioned his name and how he knew her.

“… Jack?!”

This was the same Jack that worked with her, as the story time owl! No way! She listened to him as he explained. It would be nice to know what happened, as well as learn about this Jack. She gave him a small smile. “Sure. I’m not too busy since I’m still looking for a place I can work at. Does tonight work?”

Wow, that.. took less convincing than he thought it would. He must look the part. There's a bit of disbelief on their expression, but it's quickly fading. As the offer is accepted, he matches their smile with a grateful one of his own. Then, he moves in to give them a quick hug. "Oh, thank you, yes. Tonight would be wonderful."

Er.. okay, this is for both their sake; a debriefing of sorts. But, it occurs to him that it's been quite a long time since he's been on a date proper. A slight blush comes to his cheeks as he gives them some space. Where to go, then.. Eh, somewhere nice; he has a bit of cash saved up. "Uh.. there's an italian place, not too far from here.. La Tabella Rossa, I think? Would that be good?"

send me a name + a symbol and my muse will have to either… ☺- ask them out on a date or kick them in the shins

[I guess the anons want this to happen, too, so we're doing it! @nightguard-in-a-hoodie ]

Ugh. This is just the worst. So many confusing 'new' old memories.. and the shadow's guilt means she's too distracted to help him sort through them. Not to mention, the surprise extra passengers. But, none of what he went through holds a candle to everyone just being.. gone. All that love and friendship, so quick to dissolve..

Seated upon a bench in the mall, the man sighs. He's clad in concealing clothing; long pants and coat, thick gloves and boots, and sunglasses lifted out of the way as he rubs at his closed eyes. This isn't much better, but he just had to get out of the house. It's too depressing, without Sally there.

A brief glimpse of hollow sockets with a bright dot at their center can be seen as he opens his eyes and moves his hand to let the shades fall back into place. Oh, someone's watching him? ..Wait. A familiar face. A friendly face. He perks up."V-Valery? ..Valery!"

Quickly standing up and moving closer to the former guard, he has to stop himself from going in for a hug. Wait, right, there's no way they recognize him. In the initial onset of emotion, he foolishly left the owl suit behind. The scars decorating.. well, his whole body, really - are reminders of that."I, uh.. I'll forgive you if you don't believe me. But, I'm Jack.. Jack the Owl."

There's no doubt that this is very strange. The only closure they got was the sudden shuttering of the pizzeria after it was severely damaged, ending their career. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to fill them in on the whole story. At least that way he'd also get a chance to sift through all this."There's.. I have more information now, about what happened. And, I think I need to talk to someone about it. Um, so, m-maybe we could.. you know, go get dinner? And, we can sit down, and I'll try to answer any questions you have?"
