Consider it my Valentine's Day gift to you.

[autophoenix]

Eliot's place, the Lux. You know where it is?

[thisisprogress]

Single' Awareness Day? That does sound better than that stupid Valentine's Day everyone keeps going on about.

That first round sounds nice. If it's wine, of course.

[autophoenix]

... Nikola, tell me you know what Valentine's Day is. And yeah, we have wine.

[thisisprogress]

[So dryly:]

No, I don't. I don't know about any holidays. What are holidays? Someone must tell me.

[And then back to snark.] Of course I know what it is. I just refuse to actually participate in it. That's why I'm pretending it doesn't exist.

[autophoenix]

Hey! Look, I was just asking, you're the one acting like everyone gushing over it's the first time you've heard about it. Some people here might not have heard of it, it's not that weird to think about in a place like Paradisa, okay?

[heirdom]

I'm aware of the standard relationship status of the local losers every day of the year.

[autophoenix]

And naturally you turn today into another reason to be a little brat. Thanks for that.

[heirdom]

You're welcome.

[autophoenix]

Does sarcasm just not even process for you or are you seriously that much of a little brat that you just choose not to observe it?

[halfgoddess]

I'm dubbing myself an honorary single tonight for the sake of socializing, and also because my relationship is in limbo. And also because I'm game for drinks. I'll be down soon.

[autophoenix]

If your boyfriend's not in the castle, you count. I'll save a bar stool for you.

[halfgoddess]

Awesome.

[You haven't hooked up with Akihiko yet? Hurr hurr.]

You know, I've yet to celebrate a single V-day even while in a relationship. That blows.

[autophoenix]

I've yet to even be in a relationship when Valentine's Day rolled around. None of mine have lasted long enough. Scale of one to ten, how sad is that?

[ruined_jaw]

{Were I th' drinkin' sort, I'd come down an' celebrate with ya. As it stands I think all I'd do is depress folks, an' this ain' the day fer that.}

{Happy Greetin' Card an' Chocolate Day, anyway.}

[autophoenix]

I don't think you'd depress anyone, Jono. I mean, this is my last ditch effort to get more singles into the Lux so I don't have to want to throw up over the mushy couples anyway, so depression would be right at home anyway.

Action!

[ruined_jaw]

{Fair point, that. What th' hell, I'll stop by. It ain' like i's standin' room-only at Caritas at th' moment anyway. I could use th' distraction.}

[Jono closes his journal and heads up to the castle, finding his way to the Lux with only a small amount of confusion. He finds Claire at the bar, and gives her a nod before he sits down.]

Action!

[autophoenix]

Hey! You made it! [ She pulls out a glass for him and folds her arms on the bar, leaning forward. ] So what'll it be?
