It's valentines day!
[style=width: 300px; background-color: #000000; height: 5px; margin-top: -7px][/style]Aether seems to be in an uproar with the fact that the holiday celebrating love has arrived. Over the course of a single night, the once empty and hauntingly silent carnival park is lit with colorful lights of rides, fast and slow, the scents of fried foods and abundant sweets. Games reach every corner of the park, their attendants calling out to the carnival goers, attracting them to purchase a go or two with the temptation of prizes of all shapes and sizes. Not a moment goes without some form of activity - even the night air is filled with the sounds of laughter and adrenaline filled screams.
If this wasn't strange enough, a place of such joy in such dark times, random people over the area seem to be receiving letters, written on decorated purple and red papers with fancy black lettering, sealed away in sparkling, lacy envelopes - addressed by name.
Everyone who receives one is enticed to peel open the envelope, whether it be curiosity or a strange desire to see what's inside such a beautiful package. The letters inside read as such.
Dear [name],
Just as a poet needs inspiration to write a masterpiece
I need you ...
Just as an artist needs a subject for his work of art,
I need you ...
Just as a teacher needs a pupil to mold into greatness,
I need you ...
Just as a composer needs a theme to create a timeless melody,
I need you ...
For without you, [name], my life would be empty of all inspiration. There will be no work of art for me to gaze at; no person of greatness before me; no timeless melody to listen to. My life will exist in shades of gray instead of vibrant colors, and I will be less than whole.
In the past, the proper words have escaped me, and my innermost feelings have been kept locked away in the depths of my heart. No more - I wish for you to meet me at the carnival... at [this location]... I'll be waiting...
Sincerely...
the one who admires you
They don't know why... but they feel compelled to go and meet this being, and without a second thought... they do.
What nobody realizes... is that these letters are being sent out by team rocket, the parings selected by the leader, Oliver himself... and nobody will learn of the origin either. Perhaps it's all one big mind fuck... but it seems that Oliver has been paying attention to certain things... not all of the pairs seem to be so random... But what Oliver doesn't realize... is that one of his underlings is playing with him as well, as he too has received a letter.
What's really going on here?
