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

Not as such, at home, or in other places. At home there are dream bubbles - the dead can live there. And I know in some places, like Momo Hinaomri's home, there are other sorts of afterlifes.

It's just a matter of finding them, I think.

[...Admittedly, the idea of celebrating Valentine's Day hadn't even struck her since she and Laguna had set out again!] I would like to!

Laguna and I aren't in the city anymore, though. I wish I remembered Valentine's Day before we left so that I could have bought some things to give to the new friends I'm making.

Wow... This got so spiritual all of the sudden.

I'm not really sure how that happened! I guess it's just something I'm interested in.

Because you were a ghost, right?

I'll keep an eye out for it.

What's Quadrant Appreciation Day? [ that doesn't sound anything like Valentine's Day. then again people might not make the connection with names like White Day either. ]

It has more to do with how the usage has changed, really. People are generally less religious on average than they used to be, so an expression that was once a more genuine invocation of the name is now a mild curse.

There are some saints with stories that don't end in execution, but martyrs do tend to crop up more often than people who didn't die horribly, yes. Who is the Signless, exactly? Aside from a martyr, I mean--that was fairly clear.

Well, it was just one of them, really. There are far more religions than that, and I suspect the ones here would be entirely different due to the presence of Pokemon.

[timelymaid]

it can admittedly be a bit hard to calculate those properly
but i think that sounds right too!

its just a day where you give gifts to your quadrantmates
troll romance works in four quadrants
it tends to confuse humans
but im also confused by human romance so

Yep, exactly! And before that I could talk to the dead.

i think thats a good thing

I suppose you don't! But if you don't know what sgrub or sburb is, I wouldn't worry too much.

Where are you two headed?

[timelymaid]

i do have a few of those!
i like being able to fly
even if it has to be assisted now

[video]

[timelymaid]

So far...Christmas, Hanukkah, Valentine's, Legumitines, and Easter!

[ One of those things is not like the others. ]

I think this place is really great for friendships, anyway - and those are important, too. So you can focus on those!

[eclectical]

yes, i do!
its nice to actually be able to spend the holidays with the people i care about

[timelymaid]

the signless was one of the ancestors
a long long time ago
before i was ever born
there was a troll who had mutated blood
candy red like humans!
he had visions of an alternia that was peaceful
although he would not realize that they were memories instead of visions
he told all the people about the visions he had
of a culture without conflict and suppression based on the hemospectrum
along with several others he started a revolution against the empire
and the high bloods

eventually he was caught and killed
and it was forbidden to speak of him

Legu...what?

[She'll say, geez.]

Yeah, I guess I can do that.

[Lord knows she hasn't had 'friends' for a long time.]

[timelymaid]

Hiyoko told me about it! Apparently they don't celebrate Valentines in her world. Instead they give out beans? On the third? Because birds rule the world, I think.

[ ...she talks to interesting people. ]

I think you're doing great at that!!

[timelymaid]

perhaps what we need to do is have several people try to convince him

[timelymaid]

i agree!!!
and rose wants to do something as a group :o
which i think sounds fun
