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

It does sound pretty confusing. What does it mean for a quadrant to be red or black?

red are pity based while black are not
okay so
flushed quadrant is matesprits and thats closest to human romance
pale is moiraillegiance which is romantic in a different way
its when the partners pacify one another
to oversimplify matters a lot
which is important in our culture
the humans ive spoken to the most say that calignious is hatelove
its basically hating someone
a lot
in a romantic way
and ashen is a three person romance
its when two people are going to the calignious side
but it would be bad for social reasons or other reasons
so a third party intervenes and keeps them in the ash

It does sound pretty confusing. I don't think I really understand pale and ashen at all.

So each person is expected to have a partner for each quadrant?

ideally yes
although two for the ashen
but the only ones you need to survive are the calignious and flushed ones
you need at least one
or youll be culled

What do you mean culled? [ it doesn't occur to him that she means that literally, slang of some sort maybe? ]

oh sorry!
i mean killed
if you dont contribute genetic material when the imperial drones come calling
youre out of luck

Killed? Literally?

yes
the empire doesnt muck around when it comes to expectations
mutations disabilities weaknesses failing to meet requirements
all those things can get you culled

[ it takes a moment for him to formulate a proper reply. he doesn't type in all his ellipses this time since that'd probably take up the entire character limit. ] Oh...

That seems really harsh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask something that could be so unpleasant.

its fine joonhee!
i dont mind
and anyway our world sort of ended so its not a big deal
i mean there isnt anyone left to cull anyone
except well
certain team members
but that problem is more or less under control

I'm glad you don't mind. I'm also glad you're all right even though so much happened.

oh yes!
i mean i died a few times
but i got better so thats fine :)

[ there are SO MANY THINGS HE COULD ASK BUT...he won't. ]

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

same here!
but anyway i think we got somewhat derailed

er

a lot derailed really haha

I guess we did. Troll romance sounds interesting though.

well im glad you think so!!
its made it a little hard to learn the human kind
but i think im making progress

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

thats pretty accurate haha
im sure if i had grown up a human quadrants would be weird to me
but im learning a lot
