Lilly the VII - [Voice/Action]

[tintobrat]

[There's a loud sigh before she continues.] Fine. Someone tell me what this Valentine's Day thing is and why I should care about it, if at all. I hope it's not another pointless holiday like Christmas was.

Also, Adell, are you feeling better yet?

[And in case you wanted some action? Lilly is at the Seventh Heaven eating a meal. This is hardcore

If you don't know or care about it, why worry about it? You can always just ignore it.

[Voice]

[tintobrat]

I'm allowed to be curious, aren't I?

[Voice]

[screw_the_rules]

I guess--but I don't see the point of wondering about something you don't care about. And I can't help you much, 'cause we don't celebrate it where I'm from, neither. All I know is it's got something to do with hearts and flowers and chocolate.

[Voice]

[tintobrat]

Chocolate sounds promising.

What kind of holiday wouldn't be pointless to you?

[voice]

[tintobrat]

My birthday, for one. Tinto's independence day, for two. And... I don't know, my daddy's birthday, for three.

[mydearapple]

[...]

All sound pretty pointless to me.

[voice]

[tintobrat]

Hardly surprising coming from you.

[royaltyingreen]

It's a lovely holiday, though. If you love someone, you give 'em a card or candy or flowers, or pick some way to show them you care about them. [She sounds a little wistful as she says this- the one she loves is still far, far away.]

[tintobrat]

Well thank you. Finally someone who can give me a straight answer. [A pause as she considers this.] Not that useful for me, I suppose.

[royaltyingreen]

Don't got anyone you like in that way?

[tintobrat]

No, not really. I haven't had time for that sort of thing.

Saint Valentine's Day (commonly shortened to Valentine's Day) is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

[tintobrat]

Thank you for the history lesson.

[1week_wizard]

You asked a question. I provided an answer.

[tintobrat]

Don't get me wrong, it was very thorough. The effort is appreciated in light of some of the other responses I received.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Just about. I'll probably be at full strength before the end of the weekend. Can't keep me down for long.

But for right now, still kind of stuck in my room.

[Voice]

[tintobrat]

Well since you can't go anywhere, I need to ask. Did you know there's someone going around spreading rumors about us?

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

[He pauses to think, thinking hard on the emphasis on the word "rumor".]

...If they're the rumors I think they are, don't worry about it.

[Voice]

[tintobrat]

I'm not worried, but you should have a talk with whoever is responsible for it. She was very evasive about the whole thing.
