Writing Prompt 7

There had been a party, at Lacy's house. So many were there. Lacu had fallen asleep, and as she woke she realized there was a lot of work to do. Candy wrappers were strewn across the floor, plastic cups on the tables, empty soda bottles were on the ground. Everyone was happy. Except Lacy. Heartbreak was the worst kind of pain, the aching in your chest you can't push away. Lacy stood up from the couch. She sighed, then pulled herself together. She took the wrappers and threw them in the trash. Next she slid her arm across the table and let the cups fall into a bag. She slung the bag into the trash can. Another sigh.
"Come on, Lacy. Pull it together," she said to herself. Lacy told herself to forget about Kalontines Day, and almost did. Almost. She took a bag filled with things out of her closet, and began to put some stuff up. When she was satisfied, Lacy came up to the bag. She forced her paw into the punching bag as hard as she could, and she felt relieved already. Ring, ring, ring. Lacy picked up the phone.
Silence. She shrugged it off, and went back to punching the bag. Eventually she went to bed, happy as could be.

Art Prompt
i finally can use a kalon of my own ;o;
Azaria celebrating the end of valentines day by going to an archery range.

Writing
Azaria shifted through the boxes that were scattered across her room. Frustrated, and not finding what she was looking for, the kalon dumped the contents of the box onto the floor. She yelped as something sharp scratched against her back paw. Azaria frowned and looked down, finding it was an arrow adorned with bright red fake feathers. She bent to pick it up, and examining it. How had this gotten into her boxes of items?
Realization hit her slowly. Of course, that archery obsession phase Azaria had went through in middle school. She had bought a pack of arrows that fit into her emo phase as well, hence the bright red feathers.
With that, Azaria knew what she should to to celebrate the passing of this awful holiday. Originally she had planned to stay home and cry a bit more about the tragic breakup yesterday, but a new idea came to her. She could go to an archery range. Maybe to a little venting while she was at it. Azaria quickly (attempted) to pack up the spilled items. She stood, walking to the front door. She slid a jacket across her shoulders and practically ran out to the car. Azaria didn't know why she was so excited, but it was the best feeling she had in a long time.

Truffle sighed, as she shuffled around the next morning after Valentine's day, she was tired but she felt better now tat she knew no one else would be infected with what she called 'Valentine fever'. The day was over and she could get on with her life. As she walked into her kitchen, she cringed at the only remaining reminder of the day, other than the calendar. Stupid roses from some stupid guy at work. She didn't have time for him and she didn't appreciate getting pounced on at work, but she liked the roses at the time but now she decided as she grabbed the roses and opened her trashcan, cut flowers never lasted and neither did Valentine fever.

Writing Day 7 !!

with issi

as the love flows out of everyone, those who didn't have a love sign as they can't smell the love in the air anymore. isaac though his eyes would burn from all the red, pink, and white he saw walking the streets. he was sickened by the love birds and newly weds, and the couples all together. he believed himself incapable of loving another. he now relaxed, his back sitting in a neat posture as he sat on the piano bench. he fingers phantom stroked the keys. he felt lighter today, he was in a pleasant mood it seemed. he felt the white keys of the piano graze his finger and he sighed.

the sharp intake of breath then hit him, he slammed down on the keys and set a flurry of notes afterwords, he wasn't sure what he was playing but he let his fingers guide him, strong and true the swept over the piano like a storm. his eye browns furrowed and his lips curled. he seemed to be getting angrier with each stroke of the keys, the deep melody he pined out of the wooden instrument was fierce. it seemed as though all his pent up feelings released with this villainous playing of the piano. Isaac couldn't stop himself though, he was feeling the music resonating within his heart, he kept on playing even as the music consumed him. the notes appeared in his mind, every key hit reverberated in his ears. he kept playing unwilling to stop the melody flowing from his living room, he knew by now other would be wondering what he was playing. no one had ever known this song and they will never here it again, it was the sound of his heart.

he felt as though it was only him and the piano. nothing else mattered at that moment, though he felt the ebbing of these feelings and the notes softened. he saw the sheet notes in his head fading as his bottled emotions seemed to hide themselves away once more. these feelings and this sudden playing left as soon as it came, he stopped playing down. with one swift movement he stood up and shut the piano.

this was how isaac got over valentine's day, releasing his feelings to his dearest friend.

Day 7!

xxxPip took off her blue coat and bag, emptying the bag's contents which was mostly just a large amount of chocolate chip cookies. She was exhausted after a long day of cleaning, but couldn't help but smile as the memories of the day before flooded into her again.

xxx"It was really nice of you to help!" Amorette thanked Pip with a smile.
xxx"It's no problem! It was fun to be with you." Pip replied to her, grabbing her by the paw to lead her to the various other kalons who were dancing.
xxx"I have to go too soon, y'know weddings to decorate and stuff," Amorette explained, pulling Pip back to her before jokingly adding, "I admire your confidence though." Though Pip felt a bit embarrassed, she let out a giggle.
xxx"It was great to meet you, Amorette." Pip stated, holding Amorette's hand and giving her a smile.
xxx"Right back at you, Pip," Amorette told her "I can't stay though, I'll see you next year." Amorette pulled a plate off the table, it was a platter of cookies wrapped in plastic.
xxx"Thank you!" Pip murmured, but Amorette was already walking towards the door waving back at her.

She was such a nice kalon Pip thought, before getting up and pulling out a large glass jar labeled "COOKIES" from one of her drawers. She dropped the cookies in one by one, with her brain still caught in the day before reliving her memory. Goodbye Kalontines day, Pip thought before putting the heart cookies back into the drawer.

Both use my Kalon Everest

Writing Prompt Day 7:
Valentine’s Day was over and everyone was out and about cleaning up from the parties or celebrations they had had with friends and family the night before. Well everyone but Everest. He had no party to clean up after no significant other to hang out with. Overall he had been alone on Valentine’s Day except for when he handed out cards to random people to try and show his spirit. Even though at times it was lonely he was ok with spending this holiday alone. Even so as he passed all these happy couples on his way to the store a part of him longed to have that too. He was pulled from his momentary doubt when he almost ran into the storefront, and not the doors but the wall right next to them. He looked around him embarrassed by his near collision and could see a few people give him some weird looks as he ducked into the store. Oh well it can’t be helped, he didn’t care what they thought anyway. Once inside the store he went straight to all the valentines’ treats still on display for the previous day. There was a big 50% off sign on all the chocolates and candies. He had found his prize! Grabbing his favorite candies he thought to himself how nice being single was and how if he had a significant other he wouldn’t be able to this. Instead he’d probably be hanging out with his loved one cleaning up from the previous holiday. Also he wouldn’t be celebrating this awesome holiday that is the day after Valentine’s Day, Singles Awareness Day! As he checked out of the store with his load full of candy the cashier lady looked at him questioningly.
“Big plans?” she asked.
“Oh yeah! Very big plans!” Everest nodded his head. “I’m going to go home and eat all of this while watching my favorite movies to celebrate Singles Awareness Day!”
“Ok well you have fun. That’ll be $32.54. Have a nice day.”
He handed her his cash then picked up his bags and headed out. “You too!” once he got home he set up a cozy spot on his couch, closed all the blinds, and turned on the TV. After deciding to try watching the whole Harry Potter series, might take him quite a while, he gathered his snacks and sat down, snuggling into his blankets. He would enjoy another day once again without anyone else. He could have fun on his own he was a single independent Kalon and as much as he longed for company he was ok with that. Everest realized that at the end of the day he didn’t need any fancy plans, Valentine dates, or big parties, he only needed himself or at least for now. Maybe one day he would meet that special person just for him. But until then he was willing to wait as long as it took.

Danton licked the last of the melted chocolate off his paws. Kalontines had been amazing! Oh all the couples he saw, love was in the air! He remembered the park brimming with couples on picnics, flower shop owners shining with joy at all their sales. The chocolatiers were tired after weeks of preparation, and restaurant staff were exhausted! But yes, Kalontines had been wonderful. Even though it ended, the love didn't stop. Kalons were so happy with the gifts from their significant others, and spent more time with each other. Now was the season to appreciate each other's love, and hopefully share those spectacular sweets!

A soft knock on the door him brought out of his chair. He wiped his paws on his fur to clean them off, which only made him dirtier.
He peered through the peephole in the door to see a loved face waiting to greet him.
"Amorette!" He threw open the door and toppled forward to give her a long hug, squeezing tightly. She laughed breathlessly and drew away to look into his eyes. "Well, we both know what day it is."
Danton nodded, "February 15th. The day we part."
"Yes," she said in an angelic voice. Her smile was perky but her eyes were sad.
Danton wasn't one to sulk. "Until next year," he grinned
Her eyes softened. "Goodbye, friend." With that she reached into her pack to pull out a red and pink slip of paper. She handed it to him, blew him a kiss, and took flight into the sky, fading into the starry night.

Danton watched her go with a slight sting in his eyes. He'd miss his friend, next kalontines would be a long way away. He looked down at the paper she gave him; a pink card framed in red. In big white letters it read, "won't you be mine?" Hearts danced around the letters, and golden glitter, his favourite decoration, was sprinkled over everything. His smile became soft as he read the note. At the bottom, written in beautiful gold cursive, a name was signed. Amorette.

((Using Madame Noir for this one))

It was with a carefully placed paw that the witch doctor stirred her concoction after sending Mingli off to his mate for the evening. The usually sharp and amused kalon was more than a little sour. But she could relax today. Kalontines Day was finally ending. Thank the spirits.

She was just about to add those bat wings when she felt a presence beside her. However, unlike her shop, this one was clearly out of place.

"Amorette," she muttered evenly, staring fixedly at her potion in the cauldron.

"Simone."
"Madame Noir." She corrected and the two fell silent.

"Did you have a good time?" She asked after a moment and Madame snorted. A good time?

"What were those again?" She asked teasingly but her undertone was bitter. "Ah you mean having to rebuild my shop because someone decided to set it ablaze? Thank goodness I put an illusion spell on the place but it's really nice to know how well I'm loved here." She was glad Mingli had been with his own Kalontine. He was still too new at this to understand of course, how deeply people hated her magic. How deeply the people hated her even.

Amorette frowned deeply. "Even after all these years."

Madame stopped stirring the cauldron and sighed.

"Not everyone is lucky enough to be loved." She muttered as she reached for a bat's wing and tossed it into the potion. Then added some Tiger's teeth to the mix. The potion bubbled and changed from green to orange and she sighed softly.

"But what of you? What are you here for? Shouldn't you be planning for next year's event?"

"I wanted to drop by," the cupid said defensively.

"Ah so you wanted to meddle."

Amorette huffed and Madame grinned.

"You cupids. Even when you're not the same you just can't help but stick your noses where it doesn't belong. Like my business."

Amorette huffed. "It's not just your business. Besides don't you do the same thing?"

"Not in matters of love. That doesn't concern me in the slightest."

The cupid kalon growls. "And why not? It should! It's every bit of important."

The dreadlocked kalon rolled her eyes. Here we go.

"Not as much to me, Sugar Queen. Just because you walk on the flipside of sweets and seduction doesn't mean I do. And I probably won't either."

"Why not? You could if you try!"

"I could," she conceded. "But I won't. Don't get your wings all in a twist. It's only kalontine's."

Uh oh. She knew that nervous tic anywhere. She regretted the words as soon enough because then she was getting a whooping earful of how love was the most important thing in the world and how she couldn't believe she just said that and how dare she and Madame groaned.

There was only one way to stop this. Quickly she hugged the pink kalon and huffed. "Alright alright I'm sorry. I apologize. I didn't mean to demean you or your life's work. It's just not for me."

"Next year I'm getting the arrows."

"Please don't."

"I'm bringing them next year."

"I'll be sure to avoid em."

"I'm gonna make you find love."

"Gods please no."

Writing Prompt Day Seven

Dustin sat on his bed, journal in paw, a familiar sight to all those who knew him. He tapped his pen rhythmically against the binding of the book and for a moment lost himself thinking about bongo drums. But no, he had more important things to do, like record what happened this Valentine's day.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Surely something must have happened! There had to be a good reason for why he slept though the whole day of love...again. Dustin wasn't just in the habit of dropping off during important holidays after all. He stuffed another heart-shaped waffle in his mouth to try and recapture the Valentine's spirit. But unless the Valentine's spirit tasted like cinnamon and nutmeg he wasn't getting anything.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Today I sletp thruohg everyhting. By today I maen Valentine's Day so there must heva been a raeson-

But what was it?! Dustin flung down his pen and flopped onto his pillow, grabbing it in his mouth and shaking his head around to dull his frustration. It only served to make his head hurt. The kalon sighed and let his head flop onto the downy softness. Then he sneezed. What was this, a feather? Dustin cradled the thing his feather had molted as if it had great significance. And maybe it did, he was starting to remember...

This Valentine's Day I was uot all nihgt. Chasing birds, their were defintelay lots of faehters. But they weren't just birds they were messagners, of Valentine's cards! And I was helping them fidn there way to diferent citeis. They flew...they flew me! Yes, ut not very far. Just out of the snonw. But their was anohter Kalon, I think, and she had something to do with it? There was more but now I can't remeber. Argh

"Dustin, come on, school starts in an hour!"

"Coming!"

And Dustin tossed down his pen and let his journal flop close on it's own, obscuring the page in it's thick forest of paper. He wouldn't think about this Valentine's, or of the adventure he had just prior to it, until next year when the mystery would come full circle again.
