[selfhelp]

[Love is very clearly in the air, and what do NPCs live for but to offer their services to the public? That's why Billy and Teddy can be found outside every day after school this week, with a couple of tables set up just down the street from the art gallery, not far from the plaza. When they aren't all cozy and being sickening with one another, Billy is seated on a stool in front of an easel, with a bench and scattered chairs a few feet in front of it, and Teddy is hanging out by the table where various baked goods are displayed or wrapped in fancy little packages to be taken away for later if desired.

There's a sign hanging from the street post above them, displaying their services:

Portraits

Looking for the perfect gift to woo that special someone? Or perhaps you and your already woo'd special someone would like a memento of your perfect romance? Look no further! Potts Art Gallery wants to put you on display! This week only, have a custom portrait created right before your eyes, in whatever style you desire! All you need to do is pose and smile.

*Refreshments and snacks available while you wait!
**Ask about our commitment counseling service any time!
***All portraits will be on display in the Potts Gallery for the duration of the event and can be claimed when it has ended. Come visit us! We are open to the public every day!

~*~

[The boys will be available and eager to serve any date-able characters- they may even go so far as to kidnap encourage disinterested potential customers if they get bored. (Resistance is futile!) Also, despite what the sign says, they will be dispensing the most useful of love advice to just about anyone, whether they ask for it or not.

Responses will most likely be from both selfhelp and halfnhalf, but one or the other can be requested if you want! Just say so in the subject line or tag.]

Comments

Either/Both? :D

[maximoff_girl]

[Wanda is about town on her usual business, headed from point A to point B when she spots an unusual set up. Curious, she heads over to see what this routine-breaking table is all about.

Glancing at the sign, she opts to not even try; far too many words. Instead she smiles at the two young men who are amongst her favourite in the village. ]

... What's... all this about then?

either or both. Whatever you guys want

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry's been watching everything going on in the village in silence so far. Never has he seen so many sickeningly lovey dovey people in his life. It was getting to the point of being ridiculous, with people randomly proposing out of almost nowhere.

So, when he's walking back to the apartment from school, he see's Billy's and Teddy's excellent adventure table. He stares at the sign out front for just a moment before groaning:]

Oh no. Not you guys too.

[wipesfaith]

[The set-up is a new addition to Jean's usual route toward the stables, so of course it catches his eye - consider him officially sidetracked as he flicks his gaze over the sign, standing a noncommittal distance away.]

Seems kinda narcissistic, giving a picture of yourself as a gift.

[He's pretty sure Marco would laugh. Well, okay, he only thinks this because he knows he would laugh if it were the other way around. Seriously, what is he supposed to do with that? Frame it and stick it next to his bed?

Fucking weird.

...Maybe he secretly wouldn't mind.]

booooth

[Kurt takes a moment to look the sign over carefully, rubbing his chin like a savvy consumer. And finally, he turns to address them.]

Is this true?

Whoever

[complicatedliar]

[Here's Loki, stopping by to greet his fellow NPCs. It's a hard knock life, man.

Though he does have to question their decision to hand out advice. They're not exactly old and wise. Bleh.]

[complicatedliar]

[Well, he did say he'd talk to Rogue about it. More and more, Loki had found he liked the idea of having a picture of them done, either to keep or--and he liked this more and more--as something for the gallery. Let it be a firm, not-so-subtle statement that they had (however impossibly) shared such intimate space for a year and would continue to do so.

Though to Rogue he'd just mostly said that he thought it would be "nice" and Billy had asked. With whatever wheedling ended up being necessary. Cake was probably mentioned as well.

However he achieved it, he returned to Billy and Teddy with Rogue in tow after a few hours.]

Either/Both/Whatever makes you guys happy, I'm late anyways

As she moves about town looking at the shops Elizabeth stops and peers up at the sign, then the two under it, then back up at the sign. She tilts her head with a perplexed look.

"What are commitment counseling services?"
