[26th-31st]

[Siiiiiigh, why him? Vincent's journal greets him with two messages when he opens it, and this is all too familiar a sight from what he's dealt with in the past:
Your smile scares children.
Don't sleep, shriners want to eat you.]

...I suppose I won't be sleeping for a while.

[Vincent is trying to repress a freakishly terrifying smile as he goes about his normal routines, off to shoot things in the barracks and other random things in town. He's playing it safe and not sleeping, even if he's going to be looking very un-rested after no sleep for a few days... and by the 31st he's very much on edge.]

[1st-5th]

[More messages pop up for the second half:
You will have a chance encounter with romance today so take a bath for god's sake.
You will be asked to dance by a stranger wearing a sandwich board.]

Hello, ladies of Luceti. Your one and only darling Valentine is back and ready to make your most romantic dreams come true.

[Vincent DID take that bath, and why is that? Because the AU'd romantic man is baaaack, and is readying himself for a hot date. He's even located a sandwich board to help make this supposed encounter of love come true. Along with that he has a bouquet of flowers for some lucky lady... WHOEVER SHE MIGHT BE. Replies for these days will come from

[Oh dear. She doesn't want to make him feel bad, but she can't do any of that with him. It wouldn't be right.]

But, Vincent...I'm married. I can't spend time with you like that.

[She smiles to hopefully take away the sting.] But we can still do those things as friends.

Are you really, honey? I guess it should come as no surprise, an emerald-haired beauty such as yourself...

[Vincent looks so very, very disappointed. He has a lot of bad luck for picking the ladies who are taken.]

[And now she feels bad.]

I'm sorry. I didn't know you felt like that.

[Don't worry, Grune, he doesn't normally... too bad he can't really correct that.]

But such a kind and wonderful lady like you must have so many admirers.

Oh, do you think so?

[If she does, she hasn't noticed. Her husband would be a better one to ask about that.]

It's very true, my dear. You're captivating. Your hair reminds me of a perfect spring day.

[He just will keep coming up with these things, even if he technically can't pick her up now, siiiigh.]

[Except this is kind of making her feel worse. Oops.]

Oh, Vincent, you're so kind. I'm sure you'll find someone special very soon.

I will do my best to find her.

[And probably find a lot of other girlfriends along the way. He sees potential in them all.]

Maybe I could help you.

[Uh-oh.]

[Vincent sighs dreamily.]

I would love it if you could.

I just know there are lots of nice people who would be very happy to be your special someone. And if we work together, I'm sure we'll find someone very soon.

[Oh boy.]

If they're half as delightful as you, my dear, I will be happy.

Oh, I know lots of wonderful people, so that means you'll be able to be very happy.

[Thank goodness. All along, she's only wanted Vincent to be happy.]

They must be very charming, indeed. I dream of meeting them.

Now I wonder who you should meet first.

[Maybe Fenimore? She doesn't have a special someone right now.]

I would be very delighted to meet anyone you'll introduce me to.

Well, there are Fenimore and Walter--I don't think they have special someones. And Norma.... [Hmm. She isn't sure, but there was that time she saw Norma and Ace being very close to one another....]

I think Norma might have someone someday soon.

Hm... it is wonderful to know that so much true love is blossoming so much around the village. But, I must find my own someone in order to enjoy it as well.

Why don't you meet Norma and Walter? Maybe one of them would be your special someone.

[Or, hell, both.]

I would be delighted to meet them.

Then let's go find them! Come on, Vincent!

[She grabs his hand, completely forgetting that it's actually going to have an effect on this version of him.]

Very well, sweetie.

[Indeed, Vincent can't help but smile and be overall happy about the attention.]

[Which makes Grune happy in turn. Oh well....

With her free hand, she raises a fist in the air.]

Charge!

For you, I would charge with all my heart!

[Yes... yes, he just takes it in totally his owns special way.]

And I would charge with all my heart for you too!

[As does she.]
