Action | Valentine's Day!

[glazedonutholes]

[ It's Valentine's Day and Donut's all buttered up into his latest outfit all white feathers and toga garb. He's got his lucky bow and a slew of orders to fill! So, he does what Gods do best - he takes the easy way out. Being a literal Flower God chosen by Heaven Donut's got a few nifty abilities in times like these where he needs to delivery dozen and dozen of bouquets all in one day! He's like Santa Claus! And like Santa Claus he plays the part and dresses up in the good old white and red! One at a time, he picks up each special bouquet and teleports - bike and all - to each person!

One moment she might be at home, at the store, out hunting - wherever she might be Hadriel's local self-appointed Cupid comes a knocking wearing the traditional garb of his brethren sitting atop a decorated bike. ]

Hiya!

I'm the new Cupid in town with a Special Delivery!

[Frankly, Alphys was not expecting anything to happen for Valentine's. It wasn't really a holiday monsters had, even though they had a similar concept, but Alphys wasn't a participant basically ever. This is what happens when you're a nerd. Eventually you just stop expecting it.

Which makes this entire experience a tour de force of pure confusion.

Donut just Appears when she's on her way into the Lab for the day and Alphys shrieks, throwing her hands in the air and then in front of her to protect against whatever's coming... and then had to reasess what's even going on.]

I... y... w-what??

[She will be so sorry.]

[glazedonutholes]

It's a token of the heart.

[ He says with a flit and flutter of his wings and toga as he happily presents her with a basket full of sunflowers. ]

[sciencelizard]

[Full stop, she has no idea what to make of this. No one has ever done something like this for her-- it's a mystery if she's ever seen this kind of flower in real life before.]

I... uh... oh.

[Alphys takes them, looking between him and the basket two or three times before she looks back up, still as flabbergasted as before.]

Do-- d-do you like me??

[She has no idea what she would do if he said yes.]
