 [Lea seems to be sitting at the table in his apartment, a small pile of cards in front of him.]

Man, I haven't seen Valentine cards this cheesy since I was in grade school. I mean, take a look at this one...

[He holds the card up so that the drone's camera can focus in on it. for a few moments.]

Who else thinks the miasma needs to find another card shop to swipe from?

[Maya groans at that pun. And makes a face.]

That one is pretty bad, yeah. I've seen worse. I've read a bunch of them,but that one is pretty bad. I mean, the one on the news was bad too.

[She smiled at him a little and held up a card of her own.]

How about this one?

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea chuckles.]

Yeah, I think they're all like that. Least I haven't seen any that aren't.

[pause.]

Hey... have you noticed anything... weird happening with you recently?

[cutejustice]

Weird? Like... what?

[Maya might be blushing a little. She was maybe thinking about Breakdown and his cute horns. When she next speaks it's quiet.]

Maybe a little.

[hotheadwarmheart]

[And that blush is all the confirmation he needs.]

Like suddenly having... feelings for someone you didn't before. Feelings that seemed to come right the heck out of nowhere, and don't make any sense at all.

[cutejustice]

Um... something like that.

[My the floor is interesting. It was hard to explain her out of left field feelings for Breakdown. But Lea had explained them pretty well, yeah.]

Something a lot like that, really. It started after I read some of the cards on the street. I mean... The news broadcast seemed kinda weird. But I didn't think too much of it. Then there were the cards on the street... and I read some of those and then...

[She shook her head.]

Is this sort of thing catching? Like the horns?

[She sounded mildly horrified at the idea, to be honest.]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Apparently so, cause it happened to me too. I don't think it's spreading from person to person, but the cards definitely have something to do with it.

[sigh]

I think the miasma's messing with us again. At least it's still sticking to 'really awkward but mostly harmless' like last time...
