hi again everyone!
so ive learned a bit about valentines day
and in doing so ive found its celebrated differently in different places? :o
and also in some places like japan
theres a corresponding holiday called white day!

so anyway my question today is do you celebrate valentines
and if so how
just out of curiosity
with absolutely no ulterior motive whatsoever

also exactly how many human holidays are there because so far there have been rather a lot of them my goodness
its almost like theres a holiday for every month
and there are at least five ways to celebrate each one
i think i need a chart

I've never really had the chance to dive into something so unknown. Exploring my homeland ages ago, maybe, but...well, I always knew what would happen, or what needed to happen, until I came here.

It's nice.

Well, at least you're adapting to the place, so it isn't that bad, isn't it?

Name's Shinn Asuka, by the way, and you are?

I see... I'm really glad you got better from that.

And it got destroyed again?

Knew what needed to happen? How's that?

[It sounds pretty weird. And a little boring.]

But yeah- sometimes the best thing is not knowing what's coming next.

Oh, it's not bad at all! I rather like it here.

And my name is Aradia Megido! It's nice to make your acquaintance, Shinn.

Honestly, there are still some things I find difficult to believe, but they're mostly related to the present day in my world. They're not things that would be particularly relevant here, of course.

Gathering everyone in the same place to plan helps out a lot more. Or finding a way to do a video conference.

Same here, hopefully you'll have a better luck in Valentine than me.

I guess we did. Troll romance sounds interesting though.

A video conference should be easy enough, at least!

[ ...oh, her luck and Valentines. Slight face fall, but she'll perk up with determined cheer. ]

Well, maybe! Either way, I think it'll be a nice holiday.

[timelymaid]

what things are those?

[video]

[timelymaid]

Sort of yes and sort of no! We scratched the universe we made, to make it restart.

I was the Maid of Time. And the spirits of the dead talked to me. So...I was responsible for making sure that what had to happen did, in fact, happen. If it didn't, our timeline would and did become a "doomed" timeline, where we were all fated to die.

[usedfeatherdance]

[ Oh wow, that was a ping Joshua wasn't expecting. ]

What did you change?

[video]

[usedencore]

'Maid of Time' sounds kind of important on its own- but geez, talking to the dead, too? You're pretty chipper for that kind of girl, aren't you?

...but geez. That sounds like a lot to be responsible for.

Does this old thing have a feature like that?

I thought the human version would be easy to understand but I guess it's hard whenever you're used to something else.

[enjoymyatelier]

Absurd flights of fancy, for the most part.

A very specific thing. In our world, those of us who became Players were made through genetic engineering and sent to our worlds on meteors. Half of us arrived in the time I was from, but half of us arrived much, much earlier. The scratch essentially swapped the arrival times, so that the players who arrived earlier arrived later, and vice versa.

Maybe! But I guess I'm just very happy to be alive again. It's nice! And I missed being able to feel things. It was hard to feel things when I was dead - at least, I had feelings, but they weren't the same thing at all.

Well, a video post is the closest...but I'm sure Sollux can whip something up, especially if he has more than a month to do so.
