What: CUPIDBOTS
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: VALENTIMES DAY
Warnings: None yet, but will be updated if that changes

Ah, February 14th. A day for loving lovers to love... But at Smash Academy, it meant something else...

At the crack of dawn, they appeared. Tiny robotic cherubs wielding bows and arrows. Those who had been at the academy for some time knew what they were: The Cupidbots. Obnoxious, potentially life-ruining robots with one mission: Fire their arrows at unsuspecting passers-by, causing them to fall in love with the first person they saw for the next 24 hours. They would be gone by the next day, but still for the best to try and avoid them.

WHAT DO?

Same goes for this one. <33

The entire building was bracing itself for every footstep Evve was drilling into the floor, the beams keeping it together while the walls stiffened against her huffs and puffs. Blood was making its way around her eyebrow, fueling the flames already blazing in the center of her throat.

With the infirmary a door-to-be-kicked-in away, Evve found another target that'd be most suitable for her foot. It was an ass she would sadly recognize anywhere thanks to previous mistletoe shenanigans and the man's lack of clothing at the time. Not even pants could deceive her and that was MOST UNFORTUNATE.

She slowed her pace to the infirmary and debated on whether or not she should spend some of the rage she had queued up from everything going on in her oh so difficult life, but a sudden composure took hold of her instead. She watched him and bled silently from her head, annoyances temporarily dispelled for whatever reason.

"What're you doing here?" She inquired, knowing full well what he was doing. It was obvious. She just... felt the need to address him anyway. That's all.

Rick turned around, foot half in and half out of his boot, instantly recognizing the heavenly voice of an angel.

"You know just... checkin' my boots for snakes and deadly venomous creatures. Explosives. That sort of thing."

He wobbled for a moment before stuffing his foot back into his boot, mostly out of necessity to maintain balance. He'd been walking around and using these new fangled limbs for over two months now, and pretty used to it, but he wasn't perfect.

"All clear." That came with a proud little wink.

With golden eyes still fixated on Rick's face, Evve crossed her arms as tight as she could manage them around her torso without using her chest as a table. She shifted her arms awkwardly from higher up to the middle of her stomach, alternate emotions unable to escape her making her stomach churn instead. She would have preferred to give Rick shit for his over-exaggerations and mock him, but the words that left her, while still something she would say, were without the usual passion. At least... not the kind she typically had for him.

"Right here," she said, cheek tickled by blood. "In the middle of the hall? I knew you were dense but enough to not notice if a snake got into your boot?"

At what she thought was a tiny struggle to avoid falling, Evve's body reacted, though subtly. Her loosened arms and step forward surprised her in the back of her head, but she was without reasoning as to why she would even try to get close. Her cheeks began to take on some heat, but with her tanned skin, she'd have to get a little more worked up than that to have it be noticeable.

[bedroomblackbelt]

She was still right about one thing; Rick could be a little dense. So far her subtle physical reactions remained too subtle for him to notice. Even so, he of course enjoyed hearing her voice and having her test his meddle as she was. Anything as an opportunity inflate his own ego inflate his own ego and impress a pretty lady.

"Could be tiny ones. Deadly tiny ones the size of your pinky and filled with neurotoxin."

Anything. Even ridiculous offers, he offered, stepping closer to her and wiggling his pinky fingers in the air.

"I mean, I could check your shoes right now. Just to be on the safe side and everything."

[idowhatilike]

Agghh, this was totally irrational but she found herself secretly enthralled with the idea that he would be so courteous over the IMPOSSIBLE.

"I highly doubt there are snakes in my shoes, even microscopic snakes seem out of the question...!" The resistance in her mind had her nearly shivering. Evve glanced down at her shoes, slipping her foot toward him as if offering it, despite the fuzzy shouting deep in the recesses of her skull. She couldn't quite make out the words.

[bedroomblackbelt]

Holy crap she was actually offering her foot. Rick got down on one knee and proposed gently grasped her shoe and gave a little questioning tug upwards so he could take the shoe off.

Yes he was really going to check her shoe for deadly tiny snakes that were not there.

"Here, use the wall for balance. Helps me out all the time."

why am /I/ embarrassed

[idowhatilike]

"I can balance just fine!" She whipped, slamming her palm down against the wall and probably giving anyone in first aid a real fright. Tense shoulders eased downward as she watched him, seemingly impatient. "So? What are your assessment results?"

All this ridiculous shit aside... He didn't look so bad down there. internal screaming

BECAUSE they are being adorable doofs

[bedroomblackbelt]

"Easy there sweetheart. This is a delicate process, with delicate little lady feet."

He carefully eased her shoe off and gave it a good shake upside down before letting it fall to the ground, satisfied it was free of vermin. Then Rick worked his hands around the sole of her foot, rough fingers running along up over her ankle then back down over the top of her foot.

He didn't find any snakes, of course, but he did find intrinsic fascination with how soft and dainty her feet were, even through the fabric of her sock. It probably became evident Rick was no longer assessing so much as he was playing when he started slipping his fingers between each of her toes, one by one.

"Might be some hiding under here."

I put so much thought into this

[idowhatilike]

Oh no oh no oh no!

"S... Ssss..." SNAKES?

No, not snakes.

She was - with a swift swing of her foot upward and toward his jaw - TICKLISH THERE!!!!!

"STOP!"

snake snaaake oh it's a evveeveeveeevevevve

[bedroomblackbelt]

CLUNK!

"GRAOUGHGHK" Was the closest approximation of the sound Rick made. He let go and let himself fall backwards on his ass, grabbing his mouth with a tiny (but totally masculine) groan.

"NNGHN. I biffth my tounhge!"
