Raven shrugged lightly and looked back out at the small gathering, "Such a fuss over a stupid holiday...Why go through the pain of it all?" She really didn't understand most holidays, but the fact that this one was centered around love really ticked her off. She sighed and looked over at Jerico from the corner of her eyes. "Are you trying to read my thoughts?" she asked. He blushed at being caught staring and was forced to put down his cup to explain. No, but I wish I could. Perhaps that was a bit more than he meant to say and he hastened to amend the bare truth. I mean, it would sound far less strange than having a one-sided conversation like we are now. And Valentine's day isn't all that bad. It's for celebrating a potentially life-changing emotion. Jericho smiled warmly. He knew that love could mean a lot of things. The beginning of a new life, or even the end of one... "What would be the point though?" Raven asked, "It's really a useless emotion." She laughed to herself at his obvious want to read her thoughts. That was one place she would never alow anymore. Just based on the fact that Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg where the only three to every really glimpse her mind. That and Starfire who knew almost everything about her. |

"Hmm?" Puck glanced up, hearing another voice nearby. From his position along the wall behind the punch bowl, he could see the new teacher had arrived to ask the students how they were enjoying themselves. Giving a half-hearted shrug, he replied, "Alright, I suppose, Mr....Wandisimo, is it?"
Puck raised an eyebrow as he said the name. If he were correct, this was their new sex ed teacher.
"Just...waiting for someone," Puck continued, glancing even now in search of one of his friends.

Bob trotted into the dining hall, having escaped the Warden's classroom to find something to eat. For once, he was completely alone, which felt odd without Taylor by his side. The unicorn scanned the room for a familiar face, before he spotted Puck. Bob then walked over to the boy, with a mischievous smile. "Hey y'all! Where's your loverboy?" Bob asked.

"Bob?" Distracted by the unicorn's appearance, Puck briefly turned his attention away from the teacher to smile at the unicorn.
"I'm afraid that I wouldn't know where Clopin is. I was just wondering that myself, actually," Puck said, folding his arms over his chest casually. Surprisingly, Taylor was not there with the pink-maned animal, which Puck found a bit odd. Raising an eyebrow quizzically, Puck asked, "And now, where might the little neat-freak be?"

"Where else would a neat-freak be, y'all?" Bob asked. Taylor, of course, had gone through another freak cleaning episode, and was currently in her room, putting on the finishing touches.
"She had another episode. But nevermind that, y'all. Why haven't you tried finding the gypsy kid yet?" Bob asked, as he decided to seat himself by one of the tables, since an equine as large as he was would never be able to sit on a chair.

Puck shrugged nonchalantly. "I've glanced around every now and then to check if he's arrived. Honestly, I'm not even sure if he wanted to come or not. But Grell forced me to, so I didn't have much of a choice," Puck said, scowling in the shinigami's direction.
Rolling his eyes with a sigh, Puck stood with his arms still across his chest, a frown etched into his pale face. "I hate Valentine's Day," he muttered, scoffing slightly.

Bob frowned slightly at the mention of that. "But why is that, y'all? I'd think that you would be happy, since y'all have a boyfriend. You could be single, so be careful what you wish for, y'all." Bob said. He himself wondered why Clopin hadn't shown up yet. And the normal "recovery" time for Taylor was at least an hour or so.
"Well, whatever it is, cheer up soon, y'all." Bob said, as he sat up to observe what was on the table near him. Chocolate? Before Puck could give him an answer, the unicorn was busily filling his mouth with the chocolate on the table, with his tail wagging like a dog's.

"Oh, it's just another holiday printed out by the card companies to make a quick buck or two," Puck rolled his eyes, shaking his head at the thought. Okay, so maybe he didn't resent it all that much; it was probably just due to the fact that since he'd never really dated anyone before and always spent the holiday alone that he held a certain dislike for it.
But, it seemed that Bob had not given Puck much of a chance to voice his answer, as the unicorn was now stuffing his face with some chocolate placed on the table he was sitting at. Raising an eyebrow, Puck took a slight step back, suddenly a bit worried about what sort of outcome this would trigger for the already excitable unicorn.
"Now just where has that little annoyance of mine gotten to?" Puck said to himself, drawing his attention away from the eating unicorn. With a slight smirk, he glanced around again, hoping to spot the gypsy prince somewhere in the room.

Bob slowly stepped away from the chocolates, not even bothering to clean his mouth as he stood next to Puck.
"That's a full rainbow....all the way....double rainbow...omigod..." Bob said, staring off into space. Unfortunately, no one had even bothered to tell the unicorn of chocolate's...unusual effects on mystical creatures.
Clopin appeared out of nowhere, apparently testing his ability to appear and disappear at will. He gave Puck a confused look, as Bob kept repeating something about a double rainbow.
"What...what's wrong with Bob?" Clopin asked, frowning a little as the unicorn began to cry with joy.

Puck stared at Bob strangely from the corner of his eye, leaning just slightly away from his as he began some nonsensical rant about double rainbows and the like. At Clopin's sudden appearance, however, the elf jumped back with a start, looking at the gypsy incredulously for a moment.
"Er...I think it had something to do with all the chocolate he was eating a moment ago," Puck said, looking back at the unicorn again suspiciously as he began to cry. Turning back to Clopin, he raised an eyebrow, managing a smirk. "I was wondering where you were hiding at. I was beginning to think that I might have to endure this torturous night all by myself."

"I would have come down here much sooner if Taylor had not come into my room screaming like a psychopathic idiot, and beginning some kind of freak-cleaning rampage. So I left, and came down here while practicing this disappearing act." Clopin explained.
"As for Bob...that has happened before. And for some odd reason, it's always about rainbows." he said, giving an amused look to the unicorn.

Puck nodded at the gypsy's explanation, smirking at the thought of Taylor charging into the other's bedroom like a maniac. As he looked back at the still hallucinating Bob, the boy tried to stifle a laugh at the poor fellow/
"Well...we'll just see how this plays out then," he snickered, shaking his head. Smiling at the other boy, Puck added. "Either way, I'm glad that you were able to come. I don't think that I'd very much like to have to deal with these wretched festivities on my own," Puck laughed, taking Clopin's hand into his own.

Just based on the fact that Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg were the only three to every really glimpse her mind. That and Starfire who knew almost everything about her. The blond signed, a mixture of concern and innocent eagerness blazing on his face. Without a love of life, where would the world be? Loving someone unconditionally can one of the most rewarding things in life, and being loved one of the best feelings. As an artist, Joseph felt obliged to defend its greatest inspiration, though it wasn't the only thing that urged him to do so. But he gave the argument a rest to greet the teacher who had flown over. He started to sign, forgetting that he was no longer speaking to Raven, before realizing his mistake and taking out his note pad instead. I think the party's quite nice. I'm sorry, but we haven't met before. |

Raven was quiet as Cupid flew over. She stopped levitating and graviated away from the overly girly teacher. She sighed and drank the rest of her punch, scowling at the cup. She looked over her shoulder at Jerico. She definatly felt something towards him, she wasn't good enough with her own emotions to realise it might have been love.

Garnar sniffs around the ground as he enters the room the licks up a few crumbs of something or other. the dog trots over happily to wards where his friends were at "so what are they serving here?" the small puppy asks looking at Bob seeing how Clopin and Puck looked busy at the moment.
