Phase Fifteen: Shot to the Heart

[emorangerpink]

1.
[Laura's assembled her squad of recruits - those she could invite, persuade, or cajole into volunteering to help out with her morale-boosting Valentine's Day plan. She's just carrying out her final inspection before unleashing them on the ship...]

All right! Everyone's ready? Your costumes are okay? You know what to do?

[Of course, she's not asking anyone to so anything she wouldn't herself! She's found a toga-like white minidress somewhere, and supplemented it with a halo, wings, and a toy bow with matching quiver of heart-tipped arrows. How good a Cupid costume has she - or even you, maybe - managed in your case?]

2. (mingle/open to all)
[And they're loose! A squad of Cupids are wandering the Chalice, picking up and delivering people's Valentine's gifts. Do you have one to send? Are you expecting one, or receiving one unexpectedly? Or do you just think the whole thing is ridiculous?]

OOC
[It's a Valentine's Day courier service! There's a meme to coordinate. Prompt #1 is for volunteers and people looking to laugh at volunteers. Prompt #2 is for people sending or receiving their Valentines as arranged on the meme. Have fun!]

[And among the people dressed as little angels, there's an actual one, in his usual tunic. For this he's got an old bow out of storage, and has got a bunch of heart arrows from who knows where. He seems a bit split between enthusiastic and renuent, though.

When Laura asks, he raises his hand, like a student wanting to ask a question]

Uh, well, I know the love cherub work a bit, but I don't actually have love arrows anymore. The Goddess of Love gets cranky if you get into her business, lately.

[emorangerpink]

T-that's all right! They're just for the costume. No one should be shooting anyone. Especially not with actual love magic!

[Laura pauses for a moment, considering.]

Or, well, okay, especially not with real weapons, but love potions or arrows or anything like that would be bad, too!

[can_not_fly]

Really? Man, if I'd known I wouldn't have spent all that time looking for my old bow and just used a toy one.

Okay, so who do I start with?

[emorangerpink]

Just check your tablet! [And indeed, everyone's been issued one.] The lists have been divided up randomly. You can trade names if there's anyone you'd be embarrassed delivering to. It doesn't matter what order you deliver them in, so it'll be fine if you run in to someone unexpectedly.

And of course, if you're delivering any of your own, it's probably best to save them until the end, you know?
