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

Doesn't seem right for a guy to send out things to their friends on Valentine's, you know.

[...it's a bit too flowery for his liking.]

But it's okay for females to do so?

Well, it's the custom back in my birthplace.

[There's a small hum of thought.]

We usually give girls chocolate in White Day in return for the ones we got on Valentine's.

Oh, so you're from Japan or Korea?

[ Since that's where the other people who mention it are from.

...If only that would work. ]

My species doesn't differentiate between male and female roles as much as humans seem to...

...Kind of, my world's geography is a bit different than other Earth.

[Even if ORB is technically around New Guinea.]

You're not a human?

Well, I guess not every Earth could be the same geographically!!

And not normally. I am right now, but normally I'm a troll, you know?

Can't say I've heard of them before, you're probably the first I've met in this place.

[yeep...]

[ Wow, give her a moment to savor this. She is SO RARELY the first troll anyone meets. Usually people recognize her right off the bat if she texts too. "oh one of those troll kids, right?" ]

Really? Well, there are others, and they're sort of loud, but...there are a lot of people here, so that's not too surprising! Suffice it to say we come from a planet called Alternia, not Earth.

Alternia, huh. Sounds like something related to a fairy tale to me.

[Except he's pretty confident it's going to be more complicated than that.]

It's just an alien planet! It's really far from Earth.

Well, that explains a bit, actually.

[Like how she's a bit clueless about earth customs.]

Oh? What does it explain?

[ SHE REALLY IS... ]

Well, the fact that you're asking about Earth's culture in the first place.

...I guess that would be a pretty big giveaway!

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

[beat]

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

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.

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

[living the single life, man...]

[ ...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.
