In this illusion

[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 your_valentine.]

[Now that he's arrived once again, AU!Vincent opens his journal to address the ladies of Luceti properly. Except instead of talking he is now expressing his desires musically. ...He doesn't have such a bad singing voice. Scary enough.]

♫I love myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no♫

[...oh yeah, and he's also teleporting randomly on top of this. So if you want your character horrified by an in-person serenade, he will be there.]

[ooc; since i remembered this time, replies will be from the journal imyourvalentine XD]

[Vincent wakes to a room that's been fully redecorated into, as his AU so cheerfully described it, a 'palace of love.' The walls are pastel pink, and along with a wide array of flowers, there are all sorts of sensual things placed strategically around. He groans upon recalling the past week. Then he pulls his hair out of the ponytail as he looks around a room that would put the Honeybee Inn to shame.]

[As he opens his journal, there's a good view of his lovely new surroundings. Then his scowling face comes into the picture.]

My behavior last week was inexcusable, although the Malnosso are technically at fault.

Regardless, to anyone I spoke with... I apologize.

[Vincent then starts the process of de-beautifying his room, taking away some of the tackier ...items... that he ended up having there. He can be seen wandering to and from his place as he seeks to strip away the memories of his AU self. He's basically throwing all the things into a big pile far enough from his building, for Galian to burn when he's ready.]

This month cannot end soon enough.

[Yuffie, still want to comment and break his brain? XD He's affected so go for it!]
