Valentines Day

[wildmelody]

Somehow time's synced up here with the Community, I dunno how, I'm not even on my first time rewind.

Kanade's drafted as many of us into helping out the bakery. It's kind of exhausting, and I'm the athletic one. There's dozens of orders every day and I don't get to eat any except on break.

It could be worse though: I could be working at a chocolate shop like Waon is.

I don't even want to think about that. Either one of those things, really. Cupcakes for days is one thing, but that much chocolate is downright scary.

I know you're athletic and all, but how do you stay thin eating all that, anyway? That much cake should make even the most active girl look twice in the mirror.

[wildmelody]

I have a freakish metabolism too, on top of it. I dunno how, but I've always been able to eat as much sweets and chocolate as I want and never get fat or ruin my complexion.

[blahblahblah]

Ever thought about having some research done on you? It'd be a service to girls everywhere if we could harness that.

[A long pause.] ...I'm kidding. [Probably, at least.]

[wildmelody]

Well, if you want to accompany me on a normal day. But it involves jogging 6 miles, possibly a fight if Trio the Minor decides to show up, and curry dishes with enormous plates.

[blahblahblah]

Sounds like my usual day, a few months ago. Hiking the countryside with Yuri and the rest of them, battles several times a day, eating whatever we convinced someone to make every so often, getting into trouble because Yuri's cursed, you get the idea. I don't think your bad guys will appreciate being burned alive, though.

[wildmelody]

It might build character. And they've survived worse to be honest. I'm sure their current power up will protect them.

[blahblahblah]

There are very few things that will protect you from being eaten by a dragon made of fire. Ooh, or maybe Thunder Blade would be more fun. [Rita, please stop. They're kinda-sorta people, not playthings.]

[wildmelody]

I dunno, they've survived quite a lot thus far. And I dunno if I really want them to die or anything. They're not THAT evil, just annoying.

[icantbelievethis]

I don't know how you guys do it. I'd just eat everything.

[wildmelody]

Hyper metabolisms. Exercise. ... Power of Toei? I dunno. All I know is that I can stay fit and thin.

[icantbelievethis]

Still, all that work and not much time to have fun, and surrounded by food too?

[wildmelody]

I have my fun! I find exercise fun.

[icantbelievethis]

Exercise is something you have to do, not something you want to do.

[wildmelody]

Says you! I love exercise, jogging, running, playing sports...

[icantbelievethis]

Sports are great, but getting up and running at stupid o'clock in the morning?

[wildmelody]

It's not that early! Like 6am.

[icantbelievethis]

6 is bad enough!

[wildmelody]

No it isn't, it's perfectly normal!

[icantbelievethis]

If you want to die!

[wildmelody]

Just because I like my exercise doesn't mean I'm going to die getting up early to run.

[icantbelievethis]

How do you even live...

[wildmelody]

Healthily. That's how.

[icantbelievethis]

I'm healthy! Enough...

[wildmelody]

When's the last time you went jogging?

[icantbelievethis]

Why do I have to go jogging?

[wildmelody]

Because it's healthy? I'm just wondering if you're still in shape.

[icantbelievethis]

Look, I'm still doing great and I work hard! I just hate having to do all this extra work.

[wildmelody]

Well all right. I mean, I'm not pushing or anything. It just might be a little better considering how much you like candy.

[icantbelievethis]

You sound like my family.

[wildmelody]

Just a concerned friend.

[icantbelievethis]

If I did get fat, would it go back to normal the next year anyway?

[wildmelody]

I dunno. Do you even want to risk it though?

[icantbelievethis]

I'm not gonna...

[wildmelody]

Then you may as well take a little time and work out once in a while. Even if it is just walking in the morning if you have no class.

[icantbelievethis]

I guess, but sometimes you just wanna sleep.

[wildmelody]

I don't argue with that, but sometimes a little workout will help with feeling better later on.

[tricksandmischief]

Synced up in what way?

[wildmelody]

Like time in this place is the same as in my own world now.

[tricksandmischief]

Is it usually so askew?

[wildmelody]

Usually. It's not supposed to be February.

[tricksandmischief]

What would it usually be?

[wildmelody]

Late August its supposed to be.

[tricksandmischief]

Did time slow down or reverse or speed up?

[wildmelody]

It reversed itself. It was de-synched for a bit and then now it's near Valentines, I don't even.

[tricksandmischief]

That must be confusing.
