Okay so somebody explain this Valentine thing to me. Seriously. It just makes no sense. Why do you have to go through the pomp and circumstance of a holiday to show somebody they're important to you? And with an offering of dead plants, for that matter? Chocolates, fine, but flowers just seem dumb to me. Someone make a compelling argument to ( Read more... )

Yeah, I have some time. What's up?

[voice | locked] got_it_memorizd February 12 2011, 10:53:08 UTC

What's the last thing you remember before showing up here? I've got kind of a dual-layer time-paradox issue going on here, so I need a third party landmark on the chronology, as it were.

It's far beyond your time, but not by much. Last thing I remember is reading a letter from the King. Something about Sora needing to free people connected to us from their pain. A few weeks after Xemnas' defeat, at least.

I take it you found out about the issue with conflicting points in time?

[voice | locked] got_it_memorizd February 12 2011, 11:03:57 UTC

Oh good, so you guys got him after all. [He didn't really doubt it, but it's nice to hear. Jerk got what was coming to him, or... something.] Yeah, found out about the wrinkle in time, as it were, pretty damn quick. That's not what really bothers me, though.

I mean, all things considered, being yanked out of death and dragged to the bottom of the ocean is far stranger than the idea that someone else was brought here from a different point in time, I think, but let's not split hairs. Timeline paradoxes and how the last time I saw Roxas was far beyond the last thing he remembers aside... what do you know about Xion?

From what I understand, it's like a birthday. It's that very special day that happens only once a year where you can celebrate how much you love somebody dear to you. Um, it's a day dedicated to love, I think. I didn't know you gave them dead plants, though! Now that just sounds silly. Why would you do that?

[ Forgive her for her future answers regarding said V-Day, as well. She's just as lost about this as you are, but she'll try ;~~; ]

I don't get the plant thing either! That's the one that's really making me scratch my head. Having a special day to tell somebody you love 'em, fine, but giving flowers just seems dumb. They don't even last that long! What sort of symbolism is that?

[It's okay! They can be confused together~]

voice; kagayakashi February 13 2011, 04:30:30 UTC

Maybe because they're lovely to look at? [ Do you hear that tone in her voice, Axel? It's the tone of confusion D: ]

voice; got_it_memorizd February 13 2011, 06:17:18 UTC

[Yeah, he's confused, too.]

Yeah, for like a couple days. Might as well give 'em the whole plant though, you know?

I don't understand it, either.

[Dubious Axel is dubious at the sight of the name attached to this text message.]

Oh, hey, what's up, Doc? [Couldn't resist.] Throwing any more parties this week?

[text] patchworkdoctor February 12 2011, 22:02:30 UTC

[...not amuuuused.]

No.

[text] got_it_memorizd February 12 2011, 22:23:57 UTC

Glad to hear it.

[Subject change GET.]

So you don't do this Valentine thing where you're from, either? Or does it just make as little sense there as it does here?

[Voice] replicatedaster February 12 2011, 22:35:06 UTC

Um...I don't get it either. What is Valentine's Day, anyway?

[Voice] got_it_memorizd February 12 2011, 22:49:16 UTC

I'm told it's the 'official' day you show the people you love how important they are to you. By giving them sugary treats and dead plants.

Your guess is as good as mine, kiddo.

[Voice] replicatedaster February 12 2011, 22:49:51 UTC

Oh...so I guess that means we don't celebrate it?

[Voice] got_it_memorizd February 12 2011, 22:54:47 UTC

Well, I mean I guess we still can. I'm certainly not opposed to sugary treats.

Lately I wonder if the boss wasn't full of beans the whole time, though, you know?

Isn't it because guys like receiving chocolate and girls like giving chocolate?

got_it_memorizd February 13 2011, 07:25:08 UTC

In the case of chocolate I would definitely say that it is better to receive than to give.

tsujihi February 13 2011, 18:03:07 UTC

And then on White Day, guys are supposed to give something back to the girl who gave them chocolate. So, I guess it's because people like receiving presents?

got_it_memorizd February 15 2011, 01:10:55 UTC

Wait, wait, there's a turnabout holiday, too?
