Ahh what a fine day for causing trouble!
Robotnik was nowhere to be found (Good), but the Mega Twirp had found himself back in their school (Bad). Of course Wily couldn't risk doing this back in Capcom, oh no. Nope, if he was going to test this little robot, built upon leftovers from his nemesis shitty inventions, OH he was going to test it on Smash Academy.

Cupid Man was a state of the art Robot Master (tm). Designed to look a bit like a cupid, it had both stealth and a weapon which could amusingly switch how a person felt about the other. And what a perfect time to test this than Valentines!

...no he wasn't bitter at being FOREVER ALONE. Or being a Virgin Man.

Regardless of what you might think of him, he was totally crackling away at his home base, watching how this would all unfold.

And what a good time would be had by all.

All Frank knew about the things that went on here during Valentine's was that apparently some flying robots made people fall in love with eachother for a day or some crap like that. Sounded good to him; impulsive lovey-dovey couples would be sure to stop into his room for keepsake photos. What they did after the robot thing wore off didn't matter to him as long as the money was already in his pockets. Although it was a little depressing to think that his precious photography would be burned or thrown out tomorrow.

Now if only he could get this stupid backdrop to cooperate, he'd be in business. For some reason it kept rolling right back up every time he thought he had it. This was more than a one-man job. What a coincidence that the moment he left his room to get some help, Slippy was rushing down the halls, ducking and rolling like some kind of really poor spy imitation.

"Hey, kid," Frank called out. "Lend me a hand in here, would ya?"

"Yikes!" Surprised, he jumped back but was quickly relieved to see it was just a person.

"Don't scare me like that," he scowled while shifting his eyes. "You should get outta' here. It's not safe."

Okay, that got a snort out of Frank.

"Not safe? That murderer's behind bars and it's not like there's a swarm of the living dead out here. Relax."

"You're new, aren't you?"

Slippy nervously up before facing Frank.

"See, every Valentine's Day, robots fly around the school and if they sting you, you end up fallin' in love with someone for the rest of the day."

He huffed and crossed his arms.

"I always end up acting weird and following someone around like a creep or I end up having someone stalk me. I don't like it!"

"Sounds more inconvenient than dangerous." Also boring, because it meant he wouldn't get to bludgeon things to death. "Wears off by tomorrow, right?"

Volgin had a penchant for sneaking up on things, or somehow standing in the background and simply listening in. When you ran a large fortress with lofty, insane aspirations, managing your inferiors and keeping them in line required a sharp eye and good ear.

Today, there had been a peculiar tension in the air, and the giant had found himself subconsciously making his rounds in the halls with a more cautious step than usual. His experiences had especially given him an ear for rumors, and what he had been hearing here, between that frog and another fellow he did not recognize immediately (have they met?) was a final confirmation of his prickling nerves.

Nonsense infested the halls as much as the inhuman, at times.

"Robots, you say?" Volgin broke into the conversation, approaching the two, chest out and hands behind his back.

Slippy grimaced when he saw Volgin but nodded. He didn't like being around the Russian very much as Slippy always felt like the guy despised him for reasons Slippy never understood.

"Yeah. They go around every year. If they prick ya', you fall in love with someone and act goofy around 'em for the whole day."

Who you gonna call? CUPID MAN! Uncloaking nearby, what little they might have heard was the sound of a machine bow being cranked up before two pink love beams hit them right square in the chest.

[Slippy = 1- Comfort: You want to comfort the person...even if they are feeling fine. Strong motherly/fatherly instincts take over.
Volgin = 7- Obsession: Oh other person. No one else can have you. They are all for you. You will chase them to the ends of the earth and lock them up just for you. (please play this comically)
Frank = 2- Slow & Sensual: Suddenly, you are every walking cliche. You want to throw your coat at the rain at your love interest, you speak in your deepest, more desireable voice and you eat fruits very slowly.]

Then he disappeared.

Who the hell was this douchebag?

Frank had dealt with his fair share of weirdos and big buff military men, but this new guy was a little more intimidating than anyone else he'd seen. ...Was it intimidation? There was something that certainly drew the eye, and Frank found himself unable to look away. If he didn't know any better, he'd say those scars were kind of hot.

But that was just preposterous. Right? Right. Frank liked the ladies.

...Still, he'd make for a great subject to capture on film. Naked.

What were they talking about again? Oh right, robots. "Well, if any of those things show up today, just leave it to me to protect you." He waved a hand vaguely in Slippy's direction, barely giving him a second glance. "You too, I guess."

"Huh?" Slippy muttered in a daze.

His eyes were fixated on Frank. He never noticed how handsome he was. Slippy's heart was thumping like a jackhammer as strange new feelings awoke inside it. He was bursting with a great desire to protect this man, to guard him, to take him in his arms and dote over him. He wanted to make sure nothing bad ever happened to him.

Giving Frank a tender endearing smile, he took his hand. "And you'll have me to protect you."
