16th Beat: AUDIO FOREVER

[audiens]

Well, now I'm curious. Valentine's Day has been around for awhile even in my world, but I get the feeling it's a little more hyped for most of you.

So!

Anyone have plans? Will there be any romantic nights on the town, that sort of thing? The City's sure setting the mood.

Nothin' set in stone, but with any luck it'll be a night on the piss, an' 'opefully pullin' some bird before kick out time.

[audiens]

Uh- [ SURE has heard various English dialects, but from Austria ]

Right. Well, I'm sure there will be some uh ladies who are also alone and looking for company.

[makesfolktalky]

[Mancunians are kind of heavy on the accent (aaaand also slang).]

Aye. There's always some lonely tart desperate t'get her knickers off on Valentine's. I wouldn't call it hyped, but s'good for findin' dates.

...

[ lol a little offended by what he (thinks) he understands ]

[101st_job]

The mood?

[audiens]

Romance.

[101st_job]

O-oh...right, that.

[audiens]

There've been a few curses that've pushed people together like that this month.

[big_googoo_eyes]

...Valentine's Day?

[audiens]

Yeah, it's -- [Oh.]

A holiday. It started out only as a saint's day, St. Valentine, and grabbed romantic uh, aspects a few hundred... that is, the fourteenth century in my world. Mostly, where I'm from, people send valentines (romantic cards) to each other.

[big_googoo_eyes]

Great, a holiday dedicated entirely to romance. Just what I needed.

I appreciate the history lesson.

[audiens]

Not your favorite subject, huh?

Sure! Uh, I'm no scholar though, so it... that's the best I can do.

[the_lavster]

I think I might just spend the day with Allen or somethin', unless he's got a date. He's pretty popular with the girls around here~

What about you, Marie?

[audiens]

Careful, Kanda might get jealous.

[ ... okay, is going to die for that ]

Nothing so far. I might even be working.

[the_lavster]

Should I wrap Allen up all pretty and send him to Yu, then?

[Joint funeral, y/y?]

What do you do?

[audiens]

Spray some soba-scented perfume on him, and Kanda won't be able to resist.

[It's so much better to die with company!]

Mostly I work for Tianzi... but, odds and ends when they come up. Heavy lifting where needed, moving things, even janitorial work.

[dreamsofnoah]

Mmhmm~.

[audiens]

Is that all?

[dreamsofnoah]

You didn't ask what the plans were.

[audiens]

I guess I figured it was understood.

But, I'm not sure I want to know yours.
