The atrium and cafeteria are bursting with flowers as Event Committee scrambles to get all the right orders to where they belong. It's chaotic, but the air is buzzing with excitement and the scent of fresh cut flowers.
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
If you skip breakfast, the flowers will be left by your locker.
It's difficult to trace who sent what if they didn't sign it. The organizers (Rafael, Laurel and Saira) may know a few details, but for the most part, it's completely anonymous.
Mod Note: Laurel and Saira, if someone asks you for information about a particular delivery, contact me (Meggie) and I might dole out a detail. An example might be something like it was sent at the same time as a different order... which could be helpful, or might be horribly misleading.
The identity of anonymous senders won't be revealed without player permission.
If I made a mistake, comment in the OOC section, or if it needs to be anonymous, reply to Rafael's screened post.
There were SO MANY valentines, we had to break this up. Gifts given to groups are HERE.
» Breakfast: Flowers are handed out by Event Committee members and volunteer freshmen over breakfast. Post your characters' reactions here.
The way that everything's changed between us still doesn't always feel real. But I'm glad it's changed. And I'm never going to stop using the sparkle charm when I call you my girlfriend. So I hope you can live with that.
Happy Valentine's Day!

P.S. - There were no pansies. I asked about pansies. What's a guy to do? P.P.S. - No flowers in Azurcrest blue, so hopefully Coppertale orange is all right. You're an unofficial fox anyway! Everybody knows that.
Welcome to Gooseberry!!! I can't believe you're here! This is really exciting! Gooseberry is a lot of fun and the students and staff are really nice. You're going to love it here, it's a blast.
If you have any questions or need and help, let me know, okay? This is Ennis, by the way! Hi!!!!

That's right, you got flowers. These are "thanks for being a fuck-up, too." flowers; I hear that's pretty romantic. (Or something like that—it was either "that's pretty romantic" or "that's pretty revolting," but I'll take my chances...)
[Micah requested that a photograph be included with his note. It shows Ree, Calvin and Micah enjoying their chocolates yesterday evening, outside of Ree's cabin. Micah's holding his camera selfie-style.]
I'm more confident than ever that there's nothing we can't get through together. [...] Which accidentally rhymed but I'm just going to go with it!!! Have a fun day with Levi.
[Micah requested that a photograph be included with his note. It shows Hazel and her friends sitting around the fire at the last Grotto party, laughing and waving at the camera. Being the cameraman, Micah's not in the frame, but he figured a memento from that party was close enough to ~romantic~.]
You'll most certainly laugh if I reveal this, but I want you to know I looked up books in the library to figure out what's meant by giving certain flowers to someone. Multiple books. And then I talked to Mr. Hightower I swear to you that it took a long time to consider this message, even if I seem at a total loss now that I must explain myself in my own words. Diego, youYou've been soI'mOh God, my friends can read this complete failure
Perhaps you'll forgive me if I steal words from Jane Austen: "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more." [...] Please, be my Valentine? No one else even came close.
[Micah requested that a photograph be included with his note. It shows the sophomores huddled together during their Grotto seance. In the center is Cole and Calvin, sharing a cloak. All the other students are watching the Ouija board, while Cole and Calvin are only watching each other.]
This is I want you to know I'm beginning to think of you as more than just a friend. I realise this complicates things, but I'm very fond of you, Cole, and I hope you feel the same. Even if you don't, we'll still be friends.
C, I'm very bad at gifts and I don't know anything about muggle music. But it's catchy and it made me think of you. Which to anyone else would probably be an insult, considering what I gather the song is about, but there we are. Happy Valentine's Day.

PS. Sorry for being so weird.

Happy Valentine's Day! Or, well, happy Valentine's Day AND happy birthday! Half of these are for Valentine's Day and half are because of your BIRTHDAY! I hope you like them!
I still like you a lot and I'm really happy you're still my best friend.
Happy Valentine's Day again! xo, Kurt
P.S. They kind of look like alien flowers, right??
These flowers are dark and melodramatic like your SOUL and I love them almost as much as I love you. Don't forget me when you're big in Hollywood, yeah? WHO AM I KIDDING OF COURSE YOU WON'T, I'M YOUR MUSE
You're perfect, except for one thing. Let us know when you give up that sophomore boytoy, and I'll show you how a gentleman should really treat a lady. ♥
Happy Valentine's Day. This is yet another thing I don't normally do, but I'd like it very much if you'd be awkward and semi-antisocial with me at the Masquerade. Be my date?

PS. I tried to find masculine flowers. I failed. The best I could do was Coppertale colors. Forgive me.
