[open] he ate my heart

Who: Leia & anyone, especially anyone bitten by the love bug (or even if they haven't been--)
When: 02/03 - 02/14 (Valentines' Day!) IC.
Where: Over the network/in front of the Game Center
What: Heart candies for everyone -- aka an IC hearts meme, modified from here! Come get 'em and give them out to anyone and everyone to tell them how you feel!
Rating/Warning: none

a.) actual tv star (video)
Hey, everyone! Wow, I'm really recording, huh...?

[Leia's face appears on the camera. She might look a little bit nervous, because wow--you can't take back something you say live on video as easily as you can on paper, but don't be fooled. She's determined, and since signing up for a blinde date, she's far more into this Valentine's thing than she ever expected.]

So I know there's a lot going on right now, with everyone recovering and exchanging information. The last thing I want to do is interrupt all that, but it's a new month, and I think Mabel's got the right idea. We need cheer in our lives again, and we need a little romance!

I'm going to be helping her out by selling these adorable heart candies I found. [She holds up one between her fingers before the camera pans to show a small bowl of various colors.] They're color-coded with meanings, so you can tell your friends and loved ones exactly how you feel--and you can even make up your own meanings if you want to.

I'll have them available starting today all the way up until the big day, so be sure to stop by the Game Center and see me! The name's Leia.

Thanks for listening!

[WIPES SWEAT drinks juice really fast. That was a lot of talking she just did. Hopefully she made sense.]

b.) but what if you're color-blind (action)
[Later on, just like she said, Leia can be found behind a booth near the gaming center. She's set up with little jars of the aforementioned heart candies, as well as small fancy-looking pouch bags coming in white, pink, and red. There are also two neat piles of tags with string attached so they can be tied to the pouches: with one side having the standard To: and From: labels, and the other containing a legend of various colors corresponding to the hearts.

In one pile, the meanings are spelled out; and on the other, they're blank, in case anyone wants to write their own, as she promised.

At the end of the table also, there's a copy of the latest issue of the Cerealia Times for anyone to pick up and read, as well as fliers for Mabel's blind dates. She hopes you've signed up! She isn't shy about inviting people over, either, so if you're passing by, even without having seen her video, you might hear her calling out to you.]


Hi! Need some special candies for your special someone? Maybe a friend?

[She'll give the explanation as many times as she needs to, and talk about all of the different meanings if that's what your character wants! Anyone is welcome to try a couple pieces from the free sample bowl as well, to see how they taste (spoilers: sweet as hell).]


(( ooc: Interact with Leia or amongst yourselves (top levels are welcome)! This mingle log is dated all the way up til Valentines' Day ICly. You can expect the booth to be set up for at least a couple hours almost every day, likely after her work shift (so if you want cat costume shenanigans, just say the word).

Backtagging and forward dating (with discretion) is encouraged! ))

Oh, right now? Sure!

[He sets the jar and paper down for a moment so he can fish his Cerevice out of his back pocket.]

I thiiink I've got a couple photos of my latest pieces on here somewhere...

[He quickly flips through pages of junk apps before finding the photo storage, aaaand...]

Aha! Here we go!

[He hands Leia the device, instructing her to just swipe through to see more photos.

As for the content itself, it's a series of sketches and paintings. The photo quality isn't amazing- Larry's one artistic weakness, apparently- but the content comes across well enough. They're mostly portraits, some of them definitely cartoony as per his job, but there are quite a few realistically-drawn ones too. According to canon, his work is supposed to actually be pretty good, so Leia can view them however she likes.]

[As Larry remains on standby for potential questions or comments, have can't help but feel a small surge of pride from how Leia's reacting to the artwork. He doesn't often show off his work like this, since his best friends like to give him a hard time about it ever since the incident on that bridge... But this little moment right here? It gives him a reason to consider doing it more often.]

Yup! I did that one when I felt like brushing up on landscapes. This place has some super cool places- there's no way you can run out of inspiration!

[The cityscape is a different beast entirely though...he's not sure if he's ready for that amount of detail.

As for the compliment, well...he's not blushing!! Honest! Okay maybe he is a little. It still feels really nice though.]


Awwwww, you think so? I'm glad!

[Hmmm.]

So...totally hypothetical question since if you want something you don't have to pay, but could you see yourself paying for stuff like that? I really wanna try to do this for cash on the side, like with my caricature drawings.

[That's pretty much the best news Larry's heard all day! Aside from discovering this little stand in the first place, anyway. It's hard for him to hide a grin, so he doesn't really try.]

Really? Oh man, I'm happy to hear it! Maybe I'll give it a whirl when I do my caricature stand in a couple days. I can put "portraits and landscapes" as an option too! Thanks, Leia!

[Look at that, he's already coming up with all sorts of possibilities! Leia's definitely slaying it today with her customers.]

So! If you've got something in mind for me to whip up, you can let me know now. Or you can drop me a message if you need some time to think. Like I said, this one's totally free 'cause you've been awesome!
