[Raven's been at that wine in the fountain for a good hour or so now. ~~When life gives you lemons take them, they're free lemons right?~~ He's pretty out of it - hugging anyone who happens to pass by, even the guys. Yeah there's birds being lovey-dubey and some flowers he keeps treading on, not to mention the fountain itself. But he's occupied with getting wasted, because you know, he has priorities. Fortunately for you guys he was affected and taken about 3 days ago.]

Oh. Well, um, thanks anyway. I'm glad you were willing to let me try it anyway.

[... aaaand for some reason he feels like he should thank Raven with a hug, so he's going to do just that.]

Yay! See, this old man ain't too bad ta hug is he? [Burying you with his big floppy coat.]

N-no, this isn't bad at all. You're nice and warm...

[Normally he'd be way too shy to initiate a hug, but given how affection-starved he is, it's all good.]

Ya shouldn't say things like that, I might get excited.

...

[PULLING AWAY NOW]

I didn't mean it like that!

I'm just teasin'! Old Raven's already got someone he loves~

You do? But I thought last time you said...

What did I say?

You said you weren't in love with anyone.

Oh right... Yeah I got the feelin' I shouldn't be either. But alas, the old man found love.

So... who is it? Is it one of those girls you were saying were way out of your league?

Definitely out of my league.

... oh.

But that's a good thing right? Nice ta see I still have standards, even in desperation.

What about you kid, ya find anyone durin' the season of love?

[A little headshake.]

No, and I'm glad. I don't want to fall in love with anyone else, even if Richter isn't here anymore.

[Though he says this lightly enough, it's clear it's still a rather sensitive subject for him.]

I know the feelin'. Though, I gotta admit the amount of people hookin' up and this fountain... this is an experiment isn't it?

I figured the fountain was part of an experiment, but I didn't know about people... um, "hooking up." What does that mean, anyway?

Gettin' lucky in the bedroom department.

Huh?

[You're going to need to be a little clearer, Raven.]

Hookin' up means ya found a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Wait, you mean other people have suddenly found girlfriends and boyfriends too? Then maybe Riku and I were right after all...

Sounds like it over the journals.

Huh? Whaddya mean Riku and I were right? Come on tell me!

Well, we were talking about the experiment we had last year, and we started wondering if maybe the Malnosso weren't waiting until after Valentine's to affect us with something so that we wouldn't expect it.

Wait so... the feelings I have for this person, are just part of some experiment?

I don't know. I don't know if this even is an experiment or not. Usually they're a lot more obvious than this.
