[greetings, Siren's Port. Have a surly albino in a laboratory, fiddling with something at his work desk. He doesn't bother to look up as he speaks.]

Love the card factories, Doc. They make wonderful things!

You'll forgive me if I don't see the wonder in greeting cards and kitschy knickknacks.

Cards, knickknacks, plush dolls...moi.

Did you know Monarch is next door to the chemical plant? Funny thing, that. Funny thing. Gets a chap wondering.

Back to your original point, though-not that I'm not fascinating or anything-what reason do you have to hate poor old Valentine's day? So it's a bit silly...You seem like you could use more silly in your life.

Oh, don't misunderstand me. I feel much the same about all holidays.

And no, thank you. I've hit my 'silliness' quota for a lifetime.

Ya sure? Cause I know a few ways fill a guy's life with laughter.

[thebetterbat]

I'm fine, really.
