( [ Private to Lelouch vi Britannia // Easy ] )

Good morning, criminals! It is the fiftieth day of the third generation, and Valentine's Day, or thereabouts. Inmates Minako Aino and C.C. have planned a marvelous event for all of you: a date auction! I will leave it to them to explain their plan for the day, and I hope that you all enjoy it and feel wonderful about yourselves. Remember that there is no way to put value on any of you, you are all unique individuals who are capable of amazing personal evolution and achievement. ♥

And, if I might--
--well, it isn't important. Everyone please enjoy your day.


((Sentience will not be responding to comments except at the kiosk.))

[If Setsuna believed in god, any god, he might have thanked them and sworn his eternal soul to their service that morning: his ball and chain was gone. GONE. He might have leapt for joy and taken a lap around the asylum if he had the emotional process enough to let himself do that. As it was, he felt much lighter and allowed himself a day to finally explore the city. Without the weight of the ball and chain he felt much safer walking about, certain he could handle himself even without a gun should anything happen. Though by what people said he would think violence would be kept to a minimum considering what this Sentience might do to them. He certainly had no wish to find out, though he had no intention of simply rolling over and letting himself get beaten by any means.

Thrusting such thoughts he made his way out into the city, producing a map on his comm and randomly picking a place to go. He ended up in Sector 4, in the Butterfly Pavilion. The sentinels outside might have kept him away if he hadn't figured out they were meant to keep trouble from happening rather than causing it. And besides, the Pavilion looked quiet.

He stepped inside, blinking at the astounding colors of the masses of butterfies. To be honest, he'd never seen such fine little creatures before. The desert sands of his homeland were to harsh for them, and space supported no life whatsoever. He knew what they were, naturally, but seeing them up close was something of a treat for the Meister - though he'd never admit it.

Quietly he took a seat, going still and letting the butterflies settle over him in a colorful mist, just letting himself be for the first time in a long time.]

[Tch, he's only doing this because Kaoru said to, he kept grumbling to himself. No, not because he wanted to. It's what Kaoru wanted, so...]

Um, Miss Euphie? I, uh-

[God, this was so lame. He raised a brow, clearly irritated.]

About yesterday...

[Come on, Hikaru. Do this for Kaoru! He took a deep breathe. Okay, maybe it'll seem more genuine now that he got himself to relax a little... maybe...]

Look, I just wanted to say that I was a jerk, and... I'm really sorry for yelling at you.

[Ah, he let out a breathe. He got it out, something to feel accomplished for. Oh yeah, he couldn't forget one last thing.]

And, uh... thanks for the chocolates.

[And now another look of irritation as he is SO DAMN GLAD HE GOT IT OUT AND HOPED TO GOD HE WOULD NEVER HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN. ugh this was so lame and he hates everyone who is looking right now. Except Kaoru. And maybe a handful of other people too.]

Alleennnn~ [so sing songy today!]

Time's up! I've been waiting for so long~ You promised remember?~

Let's go!~

[ooc: Road is making this open so that she can torture Allen oh yes. she won't mind telling any curious char what it's about.]
