[ A heart? He lifts up the small stone heart to look at it carefully. This is part of my soul? His eyes widen as he feels warmth actually enter his body. Not heat like it is warming it, though the stone is warm, but emotions. Kei closes his eyes as he honestly and truly is filled with love for an ideal he holds dear. ]
I see. [ The stone is tucked back into his pocket as he feels a moment of joy. Smiles bloom around him as others vicariously share in his enjoyment. However, it is short-lived. It always is short-lived. Within minutes, those close to Kei will feel a crushing sense of nothing follows. Emptiness best explained as the draining of everything until one is left with a hollowed out feeling.
Kei walks toward the nearest grocery store, and does not seem to be overly troubled by the emotions -- or lack there is -- spreading around him. He doesn't quite notice that he's the cause, after all. As he goes, his thoughts ramble on:
I would like to help those that are out doing heroic deeds, but I'm not suited for it at all. This isn't just the thoughts of someone who is new to the app, but I simply lack the curiosity and means to do much but end up a corpse. It'd be selfish and self-serving to believe I could do anything, and so, it would be best to ensure that there is a meal for those that left on their missions. I'm surprised that Howard actually left. I had told him that sloth would save him, but he ultimately did not allow it to do so and got pulled into being useful. Poor man.
The sense of emptiness continues to spread until some people have to sit down in order to motivate themselves to even keep moving and doing their daily errands. ]

Ow. [ The word is dully spoken even though he feels like he has been struck from behind with something sharp -- like a needle. He turns around to see if someone is playing games, but there does not appear to be anyone. ]
Odd. [ Rubbing the back of his head, he wonders exactly why he felt such a random pain. Ugh. It does not speak well for his age. Kei shakes his head as he turns back. He pauses as he lifts his head up, breathing in the sweet-smelling air. This is? I haven't smelled this scent in quite some time. Ah, this must be the strangeness that comes from the app, then? Surprisingly benign.
So he says as he looks down the street. The first person that he happens to see is drowned in a sudden whirlwind of rose petals. It comes slamming down onto him as well. Blinking owlishly, he plucks a rose petal off of his own head. ]
Are you all right? [ Tossing the petal away, he walks forward to check on the unfortunate soul. ]
wildcard - valentine's day.
It seems as though I can't quite get away from you. [ This sounds like the start of some romcom but the dead-eyes that he is giving the person says otherwise. His shoulders drop a little as he accepts that he will be unable to escape. ]
I must say that I've spent a vast majority of my Valentine Day's alone. It would seem like this app has decided that is unacceptable, even if it is my time and what I wish to do. Unfortunate. [ He breathes out a tired sigh. ] But I suppose that it cannot be helped. I had no plans for this day. There is nothing that I desire to do as my errands for the week have already been done.
But you seem like you're someone who actually has something that you want to do. Please, go ahead and speak your mind on it. I'll come to assist in whatever that it is. After all, it is not like I can do much else, hm?
[ ooc: So, you're connected to a trash-can! A person can be tied to Kei and drag him into helping out with prompt i or ii. As his inner monologue denotes, he's only staying away 'cause he has no reason to actually get involved. If the person that he's tied to wants to be involved, he'll do it. If they don't, congratulations on having a trash-can attached to your character for the next 24 hours. ]
