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 do not understand the need to center a holiday around letting people know you think of them. It is just as easily said.

Are trolls unable to do such things?

[...Okay, then.]

That is rather foolish. Even if one's affection for another can be exploited as a weakness, that emotion does have a certain level of merit.

I would not have guess your species was inclined towards violence by my previous conversations with you.

[Karkat was rude, though, and since he'd mentioned troll slang... Hmn.]

You mentioned when I first arrived that not all those who come here are alive back in their own world. That being the case, and with your planet being destroyed, I wonder about the state of your species. Are trolls now extinct where you are from?

[It seems...politer to phrase it that way than to ask ARE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS DEAD?]
botspeaksalot: (wow what's this)

[...ARADIA.]

How is it possible for there to be five and a half of you?

[But. What.]

If this Sollux is half dead, they should be counted as alive. Even if you are unsure about their ultimate outcome, you should not write off someone's ability to recover until they are without a doubt dead.

That does not seem to be physically possible. Is this condition common where you are from?

Even for one predisposed towards 'doing things split', that seems a remarkable feat, and with how you described it, I can assume it is not something as simple as saying that his mind is dead and his body is alive or vice versa, nor that he spends half his time one way and the other half another way. It truly is intriguing.

When you do, I would be very interested in hearing your findings.

Are you also somewhat of a special case, for your race, as you can spend time with him on either side?
