[When the feed cuts on a particularly lethargic Makoto can be seen doubled over with her chin propped on her kotatsu table.]

I've learned a very important lesson this day...never take part in an eating contest when your opponent is a living trash compactor with an iron stomach.

[She tries sitting up properly, but...to no avail and simply drops back down again.]

Huuu...I'll have to thank Tsukino-san for all of the goodies...though I wonder why she only made one cupcake...those were pretty good--even though Usagi was upset...I guess I'll get up and make some for her to cheer her up...

[Nope...no movement, but she is superb when it comes to sliding off the table and landing with a *thump* on the floor.]



[ooc: While Makoto has pre-Valentine's Day arrangements with a certain Knight who doesn't deserve this, feel free to comment on her...um...situation.]

Next time, you may do well to judge the situation better in advance, Makoto.

[thunder_empress]

Ahhh...it's a sickness, Chloe-san...I can't back down from a challenge...

[minesprettier]

I'll have to keep that in mind once my leg gets better.

[thunder_empress]

Huh? Why's that? [curious, curious]

[minesprettier]

So I can pick a challenge I'm likely to win.

[thunder_empress]

Ohoho [she'll sit up and crack her knuckles] are you challenging me on purpose? Well you'd just better be ready, Chloe-san, there's not a thing I can't do!...Unless it's math...or physics....

[minesprettier]

[He smiles warmly at that.]

I'm not great with physics either. But I'll think of something in the next month and a half that I'll probably win.

[And now he's picturing Makoto and Ken playing one on one soccer.]

[thunder_empress]

Well...you said when your leg heals so I imagine it's going to be some kind of physical activity...but maybe you should hold off until you've had some time to train. I'd hate for you to be at a disadvantage.

[See that face? She's sincere, but fortunately her sense of fair play is genuine.]

[minesprettier]

If it's physical, I'll let myself get back into shape first. Otherwise, I'm giving myself time to plan so I can work around whatever disadvantages either of us may be at.

[Fair play is a good thing. Chloe's all for justice and fairness.]

[thunder_empress]

That's good, I can only play while you're at your best, Chloe-san.

[minesprettier]

Of course. And I hope you have a great Valentine's Day.

[thunder_empress]

Thank you, I hope you have an excellent Valentines Day too!

[minesprettier]

I'll try to.
