[Kitty was out shopping for later that morning, getting the food together first so they could start on the cooking. She had Minato with her to help, and would be meeting up with Ed and Minako later as well so the group could get the decorations and set things up in time for people to come over.

Would they be stalked by kissing bots? Would someone lure a kissing bot to them? Oh the hazards of the season!]

[Kitty contacted Ed to let him know the results of speaking with Acumen that morning.]

Hey, Ed. Acumen said we'll have the decorations and stuff ready by noon in the Convenience store. Do you want to meet me there to pick it up?

[It's been over a day since he was found in the snow, and after a full day of rest at the hospital, his headache was mostly gone and the full range of his arm had almost returned. He still wasn't sure what had happened, but he... knew things now.

They had all... died for him.

He wasn't certain how he was supposed to feel about that.

But that was no reason to continue hiding. He had to leave the house sometime and after the headache had faded, the nausea had as well. Hei was nearly famished for food. So, wrapped up in his coat and a scarf, Hei's walking to the ramen stand. Food first, then groceries. But... flicking on his network device, Hei clears his throat.]

I, uh... What do you know about regaining memories you... don't remember having? I seem to have acquired some.

[His smile is embarrassed. He feels like he should know these answers already from previous examples, but none of it made any sense, still.]

((ooc: Throwing this up while I can, but I'll probably head to sleep as soon as this is posted. If you wish to action it up for a kissing-bot, please say so somewhere in the tag or a subject heading or ping me if you want it in the event post. Thanks!))

I think I've kissed more people in the last two days than I planned to kiss in my entire life.

[Granted, kissing Shinji already put him one over that total, but let's not go there.]

Who's behind those robots, anyway? They've got a very strange sense of humour. [But judging by the laughter in his voice, he shares it.]

Fletcher, where are you? I... need your help with some gardening things. Yeah.

[Naoya's had a relatively quiet day, headaches and Allen-bothering and test-giving aside. Once he's dropped off his tests at home, he heads for the bar.]

[He knows full well this is going to make his headache worse, but the bar should be quiet now. He sits down and orders a drink, losing himself in thought.]

[He hates Christmas.]

[[ooc; Feel free to bug him, but please no kissing bots. :|b Also he'll be there all evening.]]
