So February is now here...

[spawnofpluto]

With the coming of this month, it looks like I'll get to look forward to retarded displays of affection in about half a month and all the talk leading up to it. I've never been a fan of the holiday (nor White Day in the following month, for that matter). ...Not even back when me and the woman were dating. So no, she's not the reason why. ...For the

At least sweets are cheap and plentiful after?

[spawnofpluto]

Meh... I'm not enough of a chocolate fan to care about that. Besides, a large part of the reason Valentine's Day is as big of a thing as it is is because of the marketing from chocolate companies trying to sell their shit. Don't indulge them.

[notes_n_strings]

Ah. I sort of like the occasional chocolate.

[spawnofpluto]

Make some then instead of buying the mass produced factory-made garbage that's out there.

[why_ya_askin]

That is kinda fittin actually.

So what you wanna do for V-day?

[spawnofpluto]

Hell if I know.

[why_ya_askin]

Drinkin? Fightin?

[spawnofpluto]

Could always do both.

All holidays are commercial. It's good for the economy.

[spawnofpluto]

Not all of them. Pretty sure Obon at least isn't typically known for any commercialism.

[revolutionbegun]

No, true. But even Japanese customs center around festivals and specifying one day to honor one thing, like Valentines and ~love~. It's not a bad thing; Valentines has just taken on a drastically different meaning than it had had.

[spawnofpluto]

That may be the case but it is a bad thing when the original intentions of the holiday were completely glossed over due to greedy companies and their marketing schemes.

We all know you're a closet romantic, Hiroshi. That's no huge secret. I think that comes from your father.

I'm sure you'll think of something for the kid. If you need help, I'll do some running for you

[ooc: Kite's talking Human dad here...I'm sure he knew the dude as a child maybe? Has the utmost respect for him]

[spawnofpluto]

I wouldn't really call it being a closet romantic and there's plenty of people who don't know I think in such a way...largely because they're too busy paying more attention to the negative things I say. ...And if you're referring to my biological father, I'm pretty certain that's not the case at all. But for Toutou-san, I guess I could say he influenced me there thanks to his own endless affection for Kaa-san and me and my sisters and brother.

[Screened]

I'm still trying to decide what to even do for him. Got any suggestions?

[OOC: Sure, we can go with that~ ^^ So I'm guessing these two knew each other for quite a long while even before coming to the camp then?]

[island_hitman]

And those sort of people really don't matter. And no, I wasn't referring to Pluto.

Something that has nothing to do with Valentines day, I'm sure. Maybe something to do with his music or what you've been teaching him?

[ooc: I was thinking they knew each other for quite a while which is why they give each other so much crap~.]

[spawnofpluto]

Maybe so, but it still gets annoying when all they focus on is the fact that I'm disagreeing with them about something.

[Screened]

I figured that much since it's apparent that he dislikes the fact his birthday is connected with the holiday...plus it would just seem awkward to give him anything related to that. But yeah, something having to do with his music would probably work out best, as I'm not too sure about getting him anything cooking or martial arts related.

[OOC: Childhood friends then~ Yay~! :D]

[tomomagic]

And here I expected you to just quietly burrow away in your cabin and let the day pass you by.

[spawnofpluto]

I'm just full of surprises, it seems.

[tomomagic]

Yeah sure, full of something.

[spawnofpluto]

Only half as full of it as you are, babe.
