How nice that people can celebrate a day like this on romantic gondolas. Hopefully people will take advantage of the opportunity.

Then again, there are always rebellious children in every crowd.

[He hums a bit.]

I probably should have sent chocolates to my friends here. My apologies for not doing so.



[ooc: No one but Cain got chocolates. Enjoy those, son.]

No offense taken.

[allinhishands]

Good to know.

Though, I wasn't aware that we were dear friends.

[valentineluke]

We are acquainted, that maybe excuse enough for you.

[allinhishands]

You assume a great deal for a mere acquaintance.

I must apologize for this but you are hardly my type.

[Meeting assumption with assumption. Yes, sir.]

[valentineluke]

[Jez's Friend isn't going to correct Daddy Dearest.]

I do apologize.

[allinhishands]

[It's always amusing when there is no correction.]

Run along and play now. There's no chocolate for you.

[misterblackbird]

[He is so not eating those Dad. So not.]

[yeah well neither is this one]

[allinhishands]

[That is so rude, Cain. Why would he poison you here? He'd be caught!]

[Oh yeah? Well...neither is this one!]

[misterblackbird]

[It's the principle of the thing.]

[Fine! Then this one isn't either!]

[allinhishands]

[Do you have much room to talk about principles, son?]

[Fine! Same with this one!]

[misterblackbird]

[......................yes. Lots of room. Lots of it. Tons of it, even.]

[omg Stop being such a spoiled brat.]

[allinhishands]

[Shhhhhhhhh. Let's not go there.]

[Buried "gift" in undisclosed location. Nobody's eating them now!]

Hello again.

There's always return gifts on White Day. [If that's genuine remorse he's expressing Clearly not..]

[Voice]

[allinhishands]

White Day? Ah yes, that is a Japanese tradition, isn't it.

[Voice]

[brothertragedy]

Indeed. Girls give handmade chocolates to all the significant men in their lives on Valentine's Day and expect return gifts from them on White Day, exactly one month later. Typically white things: white chocolate, marshmallows, clothes...

[Voice]

[allinhishands]

An interesting tradition. Is there a reason for it being on different days?

[Voice]

[brothertragedy]

It was some store's marketing gimmick in the first place, so it had to be on another day... it simply became more popular than expected and wound up a cultural practice.

At this point, I suppose the gap allows the boys who've only just been confessed to by way of Valentine's Day chocolates some time to decide whether or not they return the girl's feelings.

Others still have decided to spend the day drinking because nobody's given them chocolates on the previous holiday.

[Voice]

[allinhishands]

And do you celebrate it this way?

[Voice]

[brothertragedy]

I do not celebrate either holiday at all. The only person I talk to outside of work is my twin brother, Kudari. He acquires more than enough sweets on his own. As for obligation chocolate from coworkers, I do not receive those either, because all the depot agents are men.

As a result of working in transportation, I normally spend the holidays doing twice as much work.

[As sad as that sounds, he doesn't seem particularly bothered by it.]

[Voice]

[allinhishands]

[It doesn't sound that sad to him but he doesn't exactly care either.]

Oh? Well I do believe someone has to work those days.
