Description: *Season Two, Valentine's Day Special* Love is in the air this week on Queen of the Impossible. Lykaio tries his hand at being cupid and shoots Roberto with a magic love arrow, but in a bizarre turn of events the first person he sees is none other than Sylvester! Uh oh, you have GOT to see what happens next, on Queen of the Impossible!
It was a holiday! A special one, Naerose's favorite. The red witch was a Valentine's day mistress of wuv! She had the right color, loved to draw hearts and love chocolate. This was clearly her day. So when she sat on her broom, struggling to stay aloft in front of the the window to Mimiru's room it was of course to show the girl wuv right? She's not home though and sadly the witch just can't seem to stay aloft more than a few seconds.
Landing by her scooter she curses again and adjusts her shades to look at the window. This was being difficult. Perhaps if the window was broken she could just glide in. So she finds a brick and takes aim. Her tongue out of her lip, nothing suspicious here, right right?
Lykaio limps along the street, supported by a cane. His face looks rather bruised, and he looks around with a faintly distracted expression. By the pain, probably. However, seeing a witch aim a brick at a window, he can't help but stop and stare.
"Excuse me, Goddess who flies by Windows. Are you really certain that that is the best means of gaining entry to that house?"
Goddess? This is something new to Naerose, she'd been called a lot of things, and must admit her control of 'flight' is one of the more interesting things she could do, but goddess? Cool. She leans on her broom like it's a staff and smiles at Lykaio and adjusts her shades up her nose, the lenses shinning in the light.
"Oh see this is the Kasagi residence with many dogs, I wanted to leave a valentine and didn't want them to know from who, ,so have to get in sneaky like, this is the season of love, right?"
Lykaio contemplates this for a long moment, then grins. "If that is your purpose, I can not fault you on it. So... this is the season of love?" He considers this for a moment, then walks closer to Naerose - although not too close - and stares up at the window. "...So you love one of the Kasagis, then?"
"Oh no no nonono," Naerose states, shaking her head quickly back and fourth, laughing a bit nervously, "See it's a girl who is young and no body likes, I'm trying to be nice to her." Naerose says and adjusts her shades - they don't need it. Of course her idea is first breaking the window with a brick and god knws what else after flying in, who knows what she plans to do after floating in because she clearly has no chocolates or flours here!
Lykaio frowns a little bit. "A mission of mercy, then? A false hope to make their day brighter...?" He pauses, and then looks over Naerose with a slightly calculating expression, grinning momentarily, before looking back to the house. "...Couldn't you just try the door? Or would that lack the special touch that this sort of thing needs?"
"I suppose I could try the door.." Naerose says with a slow grin growing across her face and then she walks to the door to give a try, and by giving it a try she kicks it. Hard. It doesn't break, instead she heel of her boot sticks into the door and it takes a few attempts at yanking to get it free.
"Damn fighter proof doors.. " Then she tries the handle. . . A dog barks.
"Shit, it's max, the cerebrus of southtown! Three headed menace !" The witch returns to her scooter and hops on.
Lykaio blinks, looking over to Naerose with wide eyes. "W-what!? You're going to anger Cerberus, and leave me here? That doesn't seem very Goddess of Mercy-like, if you ask me...." He shakes his head a bit, and begins to move along as fast as he can - which isn't very, really.
"Oh for the love of.. hey, first of all, I'm not a goddess of mercy, I'm just being nice, I'm a witch, see? I have the hat, the broom, I fly, I even have a familiar." Naerose states, with no small amount of exasperation.
"Hey, what happened to you anyway, Oh and my name is Naerose." She starts her scooter and putters alongside Lykaio, luckily it's a slow vehicle.
Lykaio continues to limp along, frowning slightly. "...I don't really see the familiar, unless you mean that scooter. Are you a Goddess of Witches, then? Or do you merely draw from Her power?" He glances over his shoulder, and frowns a bit. "...The Cerberus of Southtown isn't very fearsome, if you ask me."
Finally, he grins again. "...I was in a fight, and someone punched me down a flight of stairs. Worst pain I was ever in, before I blacked out. Happened pretty quick, though."
"Here," Naerose says and pulls her hat off, somehow driving the scooter with her knee, she reaches into her hat and pulls out a rabbit, the rabbit looks rather unhappy to be there and struggles, kicks, wiggles, even tries to bite.
"This is my familiar Sylvester, also my emergency food source."
"I am.. " She's puzzled.
Lykaio gives Naerose a slightly odd look, but still manages to keep that smile hanging around. "How... efficient of you...." He shakes his head a little after a moment. "You are...?"
"Naerose Delphine!" She exclaims, unable to decide if she is a goddess, a goddesses freeloader, actually she figured freeloader sounded about right for who and what she was.
"Okay, okay, so where you going, want a ride?" She smiles and pats the back of her seat.
Lykaio looks over Naerose's scooter again, then smiles, shaking his head slightly. "I'm afraid that there's too much metal in there. Could cause some damage." He inclines his head slightly. "I am called Lykaio. The Divine Power of Lightning runs through my veins... which is terribly inconvenient at times."
"So.. Divine is like.." Naerose asks, apparently not sure if he's saying he's a god or if he just draws his power from one. This was really weird. "Okay, so you have to avoid metal of all kind? any kind? Clearly she didn't get this stuff at all.
Divine is like... Godly." ...Apparently Lykaio completely misinterpreted her question. He shakes his head a little. "Only if I want to keep from hurting people." He points to his rubber gloved hand with his other rubber gloved hand. Reminding his player to make a desc already.
"Then how did you get thrown down a flight of stairs?" Naerose wants to know, afterall, who could throw a god down a flight of stairs? Then again what does Naerose believe in? She's herself something like a wickan? Or a wannabe? Who can say. She doesn't even know.
"A powerful God threw me, full of the energy of darkness. He fought off a God, one odd Hero, and one powerful Heroine in White, before finally falling before the power of a Goddess." Lykaio smiles, and waves his hand a bit. "A lot of the Demigods are better at fighting than me, regardless."
Woahwoahwoah, "So.. " Naerose begins and then smiles a bit, looking as though she were almost enjoying this, possibly fishing for something, "am I a ..." She doesn't know what to say, god? Demi god? No she's a witch.
"Nevermind, where you going?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't seen the extent of your powers. Of course, if you can fly, it may be simple witchery. But I believe you may be a Goddess." Lykaio pauses, thinking this one over for a moment. "...Back to my apartment, I suppose. Just got out of the hospital. And yourself?"
"Well I live in someone's house, but I have to go back to finish my Valentine at some point." Naerose replies, looking uneasy then smiling again,
"Hey, do yo umind if I go back to.." She nods toward the apartment, having done a little bit of damage already, enough to piss off Mimiru.
Lykaio blinks, then laughs. "Oh, please do so, if you feel compelled. Do not let my gentle conversation turn you away from your Destiny. Go forth and wage your battle of love... or compassion... or whatever. But do be careful of the Cerberus of Southtown."
------------------- A few days Later ---------------------------
Naerose had failed to make Mimiru's day with a valentine to show her that even flat chested girls can make friends, have valentines and generally not suck. Granted Naerose was pretty sure that Mimiru did suck, but that was beside the point, way beside the point. Infact the point was that in the process of showing Mimiru Love, Naerose would of gotten to break into her house and steal more of her clothes to sell to a vending machine company. This all fell through after running into a guy who said he was a lightening god and then running into a door and then worse, running into the Kasagi dogs. It was therefore with a head hanged low that the witch encountered a new scene, true Valentine love!
It was Kai Gabriel and Roberto Miura. These two were just the sort she wanted to see! They were after all both fighters, sort of, Kai Gabriel less so as she almost never seemed to do official things anymore, and she was sure that the young soccer star would be headbutting his way through the world cup soon!
$$$$ SCOOP! $$$$
Therefore it was quietly and from the shadows that Naerose began to stalk them, take pictures and photo shop them later, but it was time for action! Time for an interview. Time to go to Roberto's house while his fiance was not around, she was scary after all, and confront him. Therefore in her usual regalia of red, witches hat, broom, shades and scooter included (yes in the hall) she pounds on the door, pictures in hand, broad smile on face and prepared to face her destiny!
Roberto is enjoying the time away from Gabriel especially since it's time spent away from her that he puts time into spending with his little brothers, though he has to admit that it's TOO quiet. So he keeps vigilant waiting for this peace to come crashing to a halt.
Roberto is letting his brothers take shots on the door with a mini nerf soccer ball when the knock comes. When he hears it he rises up and unfortunately a shot he normally would've blocked passes through his legs. He turns to them and gives them a shrug before turning to the door. "Who is it?" He doesn't open the door because if he does it might be Gabriel and he wants the option of sayingm "I'm sick" or the more truthful little white lie of, "I'm getting ready for the World Warrior tournament." Well he is... Sort of...
Excellent, she had someone, now all she needed to do was get them to open the door to stick her foot in. Probably this attention starved youth would fall for the easiest and first trick in the book, which she'll try.
"It's the press, I've come to ask you a few questions and do a piece on the up and rising star Roberto Miura. He wouldn't happen to be around would he? Could you let me in?"
Naerose tries her sweetest, 'I'm not just trying to exploit you' voice she can, which comes out to sound like she normally does, slightly whiny and really obnoxious. For someone well into her twenties you would expect a little more maturity, and you'd be wrong. Oh so wrong. Leaning her shoulder against the door, she tries to smile in the peep hole so as not to look like she's just waiting for it to open to shove her way through, how good of a job she does, huddling awkwardly against said door is a matter up to some debate which scientists would spend years in debate over. That is if they didn't have more important things to do, like watching paint dry.
You know it's well and good that it would trap an attention starved individual but there's a bit of a problem with the analysis. Roberto isn't all that attention starved. He has two really good friends and is really close to his brothers what more can he ask for? Besides freedom from Gabriel...
So there's a bit of silence and then the door opens but before Naerose can slip in, the goalie has slipped out carrying a soccer ball under his arm, "What is this about?" There's a tone of suspicion though that might be a recent thing caused by this whole Gabriel situation he's trapped in.
That was a tricky move, Naerose was totally tricked, she couldn't do anything to get in, but he came out so why does she need to get in? This was perfect. Now she was exactly where she wanted to be. Face to face with the man who was going to get her rich! er. This time for sure. Okay who really cared about a couple of high school students? But this could do her some good right? There was alwayas that underaged and engaged show, they would surely buy this story!
"Hi, I am Naerose Delphine and I have come to ask you some questions, I belieive you are the man in this photo and this is your fiance?"
Naerose shows a picture of Gabriel taking Roberto home after the Rolento fight.
"Such a cute couple.. I've taken the liberty of making an annoucenment for you.."
"Oh jesus... Is that what she's telling everybody?" Roberto grits his teeth as his free hand balls up into a fist by his side "I never... ever... agreed to marriage with her. I haven't even graduated high school yet!" It's then he realizes that there was more said and he responds to such with his teeth still in the gritted position, "What announcement?"
When a few moments pass, he takes a deep breath and then looks at Naerose with a face that seems calm but in his eyes... Oh boy... In his eyes there is a barely contained rage.
This was exactly what Naerose needed! Drama! She is grinning ear to ear as she pulls out a cheap camera and starts rolling. She has one of those screens that lets her look down rather then holding the view finder to her shades. Therefore she can you know watch both Roberto and the camera. You never know what is going to happen in those reality tv shows.
"Reality tv is the hot new thing. So I'm going to take that to mean you have been engaged for a while? Have you had premarital? Is your fiance pregnant? Will you take responsibility for your unborn child?" She even has pictures! Of course they consist of a underware advertisement with the heads photoshoped out and replaced with Gabriel and Roberto's.
"Can you explain these pictures?"
"I never got engaged since I never agreed to it, I never had premarital, which eliminates that next question, and I never took that picture. And it's not even that a good Photoshop job. A monkey could do a better job in MS Paint." Roberto lets the soccer ball drop to the ground and traps it down hard to the ground before adding on to it, "And if you continue along this line of questioning or making false statements about me I hope you're prepared to speak with my lawyers." Yes, Roberto can afford legal counsel. He's been fairly smart about investing his SNF and Neo League money.
Yes, she knew where this was going, straight to AWESOME. Naerose knew for a fact that once Lawyers were mentioned you hit a soft spot and once you hit a soft spot you PUSH PUSH PUSH. Naerose pulled out her next piece of equipment, a voice recorder.
"What do you have to hide then? Have you assaulted Gabriel? Is this a case of domestic abuse?" At this point she knows she has to push and possibly two far, because after all, the best stories include the more angry victims.
"I believe I heard sounds from inside this apartment, are you running a harem?"
The witch adjusts her shades and then tries for the door.
You know, those goalie reflexes do come in handy because right before Naerose touches the door Roberto has knocked out a signal followed by the click of the door locking,"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY!?" Yup she went too far. "No I did not assault her. And as for the noise those are my little brothers in there and I am going to have to ask you to leave especially since you tried to get in without permission."
The ball is on the ground and the soccer star is poised to kick it. It might be a good idea to heed his warning because it's the last warning she's gonna get.
No dice. She wasn't going to give up that easily, she never was, infact she takes some pictures and grins brightly. This was the time to take some shots, some photos of her target, this was the time to go for the door this was the time to see how far she could push the button.
"So does this mean you and Gabriel are expecting a love child and you are trying to hide it from your other women?"

Naerose 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Roberto
Well with the warning ignored Roberto has to throw down the gauntlet. He takes a couple deep breaths completely ticked off and kicks the ball at the sensationalist. She has lost any right to being called a journalist. Anyway he's not aiming it for her per se but the camera and he definitely plans on destroying it. "I NEVER HAD SEX NOR DO I PLAN ON HAVING SEX WITH HER!!!!"
COMBATSYS: Naerose blocks Roberto's Long Shot.

Naerose 0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0 Roberto
EEk! He was serious! Naerose can only gasp at the incoming shot! it was aimed right at her shades. Not cool. The witch has one choice, it is, use her broom to deflect the shot. It deflects! Upward.. off the ceiling.. bounce and then off her head. Ouch. Next time don't try to protect your camera with your face Naerose. Still, that was a cheap low blow!
"Hey, that's assault against women, is this how you treat your bride to be?!"
Naerose is fuming mad that her shades got out of place, only instead of attacking she stands there and adjusts her broom.
"Or is this the way you like it.. rough?"
COMBATSYS: Naerose focuses on her next action.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////////////// ]
Naerose 0/-------/------=|-------\-------\0 Roberto
Eventually that soccer ball rolls back the soccer star's feet. He juggles it for a moment and then flips the soccer ball into his hands.Roberto's in a complete frenzy right now and knows that Naerose won't even listen to him so he goes for that tape recorder and slams his soccer ball on to that hand that was carrying the tape recorder. This goalie won't be happy until those instruments are destroyed. "GET OUT NOW!!!!"

This is where Naerose is in trouble, if she gets hit like this... It will hurt. So she jumps back and lets out a gasp of shock and alarm, he was trying to gank her tape recorder like so many do! It was unacceptable, she needed to do something about this attitude, she needed.. needed.. To hit him! Therefore she brings her broom back, ready for a full baseball style swing, batter up! Yep, lets try a different sport, aiming the sweeping side of her broom at Roberto, she tries the coolest line she has,
"Someone needs to clean up your attitude!"
Given the lameness of that line, somewhere, a child died.
COMBATSYS: Roberto endures Naerose's Clean Sweep.

Naerose 0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0 Roberto
Roberto isn't exactly in his right mind and so normally he would block a broom being swung at him but instead he continues to move in to grab her as he makes a leap up into the air and blasts her with a burst of chi down onto the tape recorder that she dropped to perform that swing. "GET OUT!!!! I DON'T WANT TO FORCIBLY EJECT YOU!!!"
COMBATSYS: Naerose blocks Roberto's Shining Save.

Woah Woah woah! Roberto was nuts mad! Crazy Mad. Look at him attack her over and over again with these moves that were clearly intended for her to be feeling much unpleasant ness, plus she has to raise her broom again to avoid getting hurt by his savage blast.
"That's property damage of Gedo High!" She exclaims, having not actually asked before borrowing said property. Sometimes it pays to room with a teacher there. She tries though to be there where Roberto lands and hook her broom around his ankle to pull him outo a light and quick trip.
COMBATSYS: Roberto dodges Naerose's Quick Throw.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Naerose 0/-------/---====|===----\-------\0 Roberto
Just as Roberto couldn't reach Naerose to tell her to leave him alone Naerose can't reach Roberto to stop this onslaught and so when Naerose to sweep he feet out he jumps up into the air and drives his soccer ball down upon her going for the camera yet again. "I TRIED TO BE NICE BUT THEN YOU KEPT PUSHING AND LYING!!!! I'VE HAD IT!!!"
COMBATSYS: Roberto successfully hits Naerose with Random Weapon.

Naerose 1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0 Roberto
Ugh, Naerose totally takes that one right in the kisser and it hurts, oh yes it hurts. It was everything she didn't want and more, infact, it was more of the more and less of the everything. Her hat gets knocked back, her shades smushed up against her nose and her precious film. Oh her precious film gets ruined. There is just one thing to do about it.
"That's it ! Time to get serious!" Naerose says, as IF she ever gets serious.
A hand is extended and a can of whoop ass in the form of a wind swirl is unleashed with a shout of
"En Criento! I will get this story!"
COMBATSYS: Roberto reflects End Creation from Naerose with Shining Clutch.
- Power hit! -
[ \\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Naerose 1/--=====/=======|=====--\-------\0 Roberto
"FORGET THE STORY!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" Roberto quickly tosses the soccer ball he was smacking Naerose around with into one hand. Mean while that recently freed hand begins to glow right before he swings it smacking the whirlwind back into her. Roberto is still not looking to happy.
Well that hurt like all madness! Naerose is totally not enjoying this crazy stuff, but if all else fails, yeah seriously, she should be more careful, but instead she just figures try try again.
After getting her own swiwls of wind smacking her and ruining hair styling she holds her other hand out, shaken and says with more gusto,
"En Criento! Try that again!" You know the drill. . .
COMBATSYS: Roberto just-defends Naerose's End Creation!
[ \\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////////// ]
Naerose 1/--=====/=======|=====--\-------\0 Roberto
Roberto's hand continues to glow as she tosses another whirlwind at him but this time he doesn't smash it back at the witch but rather his hand reaches through it savagely clawing the whirlwind apart before he charges at her again slamming his foot into her and ideally sending her to hit the ceiling.... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!" Care to try that one more time?

COMBATSYS: Naerose dodges Roberto's Thrust Kick.
[ \\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////////// ]
Naerose 1/--=====/=======|=====--\-------\0 Roberto
Woah Naerose wants nothing at all to do with THAT she's pretty sure getting hit would hurt a lot, especially by a move which looks as unpleasant as that crazy thing coming her way. Actually she vaguely recalls getting hit by it once and it low and behold . . . hurting. Still she seems to think she's on to something here.
"Hey,. Watch out above!" Naerose points with her hands and there seems to be a thread in the air, actually if you were watching her be inconspicuous you'd notice she was unwinding it from her broom. . . And trying to get it around Roberto's neck to hang him a moment.
COMBATSYS: Roberto dodges Naerose's Threads of Fate.
[ \\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////////// ]
Naerose 1/--=====/=======|=====--\-------\0 Roberto
Roberto vaguely remembers a similar experience and he wanted nothing to do with that either and so he takes a step and then slides under the string and that slide is actually putting him in a direct path for Naerose's legs with a growl and a grunt.
COMBATSYS: Naerose blocks Roberto's Sliding Kick.
[ \\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Naerose 1/=======/=======|=====--\-------\0 Roberto
Once again, raising her broom, Naerose takes the attack and digs into the ground with her feet. It was starting to hurt, a lot, and yes it was all starting to get to her, but there was truly only one thing to do. Forge on, try to get the story. She had no choice! So after gritting her teeth and trying to repeat a new mantra, 'I am not a soccer ball,' she does a spinning move backward and flings darts of air through the . . heh air, at Roberto with a cry of
"Sagita Minor!"
COMBATSYS: Roberto fails to reflect Sagita Minor from Naerose with Shining Clutch.

Naerose 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=======\-------\0 Roberto
Well while the momentum has been in the frenzied soccer player's favor all fight, The fight has drawn out now and so his glowing hand doesn't move to intercept it this time and he takes it full on the chest before sliding backwards with a pained grunt. "Grrrrr..."
Now Naerose totally had him right where she wanted him! Okay, that might not be entirely the case, but it was sure to have some truth to it, right right right? Okay, maybe not, she needed to do something to actually hit him and she needed to do it now. Never you mind that she did actually just hit him, but it wasn't good enough, she needed more, she needed to.. Reach out, a hand with a arm with a big hanging sleeve that didn't seem to make any sense since it wasn't attatched to her top, I mean seriously, have you seen her outfits? They're bizarre! She then tries to grab onto her opponent, also known as Roberto and just push him down again
COMBATSYS: Roberto endures Naerose's Broken Mirrors.

Naerose 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|=======\-------\1 Roberto
When Roberto is pushed down, he also has the presence of mind to grab on to her arm and pull her off balance as well. He also changes the way he falls so he can easily do what he needs to do next which is spring up, ram his knee into Naerose's bread basket before a quick turn and a back somersault kick covered in chi hard upon her head. Maybe the soccer player can kick some sense into her... Like that'll happen.
COMBATSYS: Roberto successfully hits Naerose with Blazing Juggle.

Naerose 2/<<<<<<</<<<<<<<|-------\-------\0 Roberto
Wow and it does hurt, but Naerose has one goal now, it's not anything to do with well, getting hit, or even getting the scoop, at thiis point the only thing she wants to do is get out. And so she takes her licks, loses her shades, picks up her brooom and is like,
"Okay okay! I'm leaving, geeze, I need to do a story on trumpted up kids on steroids!"
The witch then mounts her broom and launches herself flying at Roberto, aiming to plow him over on her way to the window which she also attempts to fly right through and out onto the street to freedom.
COMBATSYS: Naerose can no longer fight.

COMBATSYS: Roberto has ended the fight here.
Roberto digs his feet brings his fists together and catches the broom on his arms and he then brings his fist into it as she rides by. He'll get atleast a little satisfaction out of the fact that he made the broom stick spin a bit before she left out the window... Hopefully she won't puke on anyone.
