Monday All Day - First Floor Lobby

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Posters bedecked with heart-shaped clouds had gone up around the dorms over the weekend announcing the Valentine's Dance on the 16th  - Friday evening.

So Monday morning, Peter set up a table in the lobby with tickets for the dance, 99 red balloons, and a sales sheet for roses to be delivered on Valentine's Day to other students and teachers.

There were also heart shaped cookies, pink frosted cupcakes, and lots and lots of Valentine's candy.  Because this was for Student Council and food was a necessity. 

Now all he needed was people to give the balloons to and talk into coming to the dance.


[OOC: Handwavy getting tickets and just signing up OOC for roses is totally okay, but Peter has many, many balloons and lots of food to give away so come and chat! 

And the comments to the flower post are screened so no surprises are spoiled.  :D]

Willow stopped by. She took in all the supplies and decorations. "Boy, when you plan on treating a girl for Valentine's Day you go all out."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Umm, yes?" Peter said, more than a bit confused.

Walter was on his way out to class and stopped at the table. Roses he already had lined up, but dance tickets were another matter.

He grabbed a cupcake because, hey, food, and grinned at Peter. "You're a busy bee."

"We should share these with other people though," Willow said, still teasing him. "I can't possibly eat all these cupcakes."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure?" Peter asked, wrinkling his nose at her. "Because I've seen you eat."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned back. "I am merely a Student Council member hoping to do my humble duty."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Keep this up and you won't find out what I got you for Valentine's," Willow replied.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"So this is the day where you tease me and I have no recourse?" Peter asked with a laugh.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Without which, some of us would have very unhappy girlfriends." He paused for a moment remembering who he'd gone to the Valentine's Dance with last year. "Or boyfriends."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"How does that differ from any other day?" Willow replied, grinning.

Neil happened to wander by in between classes and everything else he was up to today.

Pausing with a chuckle he gave his head a shake.

"This place really is the tops for free food."

"Remind me to bring that up next Festivus," Peter said, reaching his hand out to her. "Hi."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"And we do our best to prevent that," Peter said mock-seriously. "Really, the idea seems to be just to keep the girls from getting angry in order to avoid danger."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow threaded her fingers through his. "Hi. Are you doing okay? Can I get you anything?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Good day, Neil," Peter said with a wave. "And it is, isn't it? Good thing too given the cafeteria's strangenesses."

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Peter." Neil said politely and the expression of concern that crossed his face indicated that he probably didn't want to ask about the cafeteria.

"So, they have you on Valentine's duty? That's awfully nice of you."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I have balloons, cupcakes, and the ability to sell roses. The only thing I need is a date to the dance on Friday," he replied.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Considering how I met my girlfriend?" Walter asked, attempting a similar degree of seriousness. "Preventing anger and danger seems like a very, very good idea."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Need help narrowing down the candidates?" Willow asked.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Student Council," Peter replied, grinning. "Valentine's and dance duty. I'm happy to do it."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Well, there's only one I want to ask," Peter said. "But I'm a bit worried about asking her. Think she may already be going with someone."

John wanders by, singing in catchy German about people overreacting to harmless things. And Captain Kirk.

"That makes it doubly good then. Anyway, you have a good day, Peter." Neil smiled and headed on his way.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"That is a problem," Willow agreed. "Is she showing signs of already being with somebody who she likes a whole lot?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Peter told her. "Perhaps you could find out for me?"
