[There is an Anna gathering firewood from the Orchards, dressed in a particular blue scarf today, because it's today. Singing, very softly, to herself. Not a love song, exactly, but clearly one with great personal and romantic significance...]

[She frowns at the mirror.]

Not you too.

[Startled, dropping her firewood, then:]

Oh, ta made ba, you could see that? cao ta er bi, Queen.

[How odd that the Garden declined to translate that.]

Yeah. Got me bad. I... recognize it as external influence, but that doesn't help me DO anything about it.

Like the Enemy back home, it amplifies something already there, for one.

[thesamename]

You could just stop.

And have this particular boiler explode later when I need it running? No thanks; I'm opening a pressure valve instead. I tried to keep it personal and private, but the Vine is having none of that.

Didn't take you for a singing type.

[Just a casual observation.]

[She was warned, earlier, by Jackie's comments that it was public, so this time she's not startled. But she does sigh, irritated.]

I'm not the kind of girl that knowingly sings in public, anyway. The Vine decided to share my amateur hour.

My mood is almost definitely excaberated by the flowers, though. Today is a traditional day of romance on my world, and the Queen just happened to have them bloom today?

[dragoninstalled]

Huh. [So, what, that was the Queen's intention with those flowers? Make people feel sappy on Valentine's Day? What a joke.] Anything other symptoms?

[hotshot_momma]

Dwelling too long on my lover from back home? Generally feeling lonely and h- frustrated? That and the singing seems to cover it.

[Souji's nearby getting her own food - she's good at keeping her mouth shut and has a vague idea of what will happen if she tries to talk, so she just smiles broadly and applauds.]

[hotshot_momma]

At least it wasn't a Vine transmission.

Hello Souji. What's the matter, kareoke machine got your tongue?

[sistagonist]

[She shrugs playfully, an indication she doesn't want to risk it.]

[hotshot_momma]

Vine, GTFO, kay please, thanks.

[Amazingly, it... bows...? And complies.]

Now you're in private, unless you count me. Go ahead and ride it out if you have to, Souji. I promise your singing voice cannot be the worst I'll ever hear.
