Enough with the moping, darlings~!

[lady_yuuko]

Watanuki and Doumeki-kun have now disappeared. They will be fine as long as they are together, but even so, I can't help it but feeling a little worried for their safety. I haven't seen Seishirou-san in a while, either. I wonder if he's still around.

Either way, this is not helping the overall depressive mood Lumiere has plunged into, especially

[Private to Yuuko, and with muuuuuch trepidation...]

The library's collection of Harlequin books explaining family life mentioned this holiday quite often, but more often than not it discussed the damage done by choosing the incorrect gift for one's beloved.

And apparently different countries within the same world have different traditions, let alone different worlds' traditions.

Also, I'm led to believe that chocolate is a very tricky substance to prepare from the raw ingredients onward.

Is there any service I could offer you in exchange for advice on how to properly prepare an appropriate and expressive gift for Cloud?

Well, let's see... I suppose you could help me out devising a means for people to anonymously post Valentine Notes for their loved ones~! ♥

[Private to Lady Yuuko]

[katayoku_tenshi]

I... think I may have an idea, yes.

Some individual journals have been locked against anonymous postings, but I believe the community notice board is not locked.

So people who wish to offer Valentine's greetings could post on a bulletin board there -- name the intended recipient in the subject line, and leave the post itself anonymous?

Alternatively, we could create a shell account with a commonly distributed name and password that any individual could use to leave Valentine's wishes in anyone's journal?

It seems that the central community post would be a more secure method, however. Any password that becomes public knowledge also becomes a public invitation to abuse... or at least, so says the cynical military general in me.

Hmm. That doesn't sound too bad, but a little... impersonal.

See, I want something like this: people would have to write their Valentines on a heart-shaped card, then anonymously send it out to one - and one only - specific address that either you or I could have access to. Then comes the tricky part~ ♥

We would sort out all Valentine Notes in alphabetic order, based on the first letter of the recipient's name. Then we would hang those notes in as many cherry trees as needed, so that people could pick them up on Valentine's Day, February, 14th.

So, what I actually need is for you to take care of the technical details. Also, if there are no cherry trees around, leave it to me; I know of someone who can do the job. ♥

Does that sound like something you can do, Sephkin~? ♥

[ooc: In-gamely wise, I suppose we could use a thread like you did with the Christmas cubbyholes, only this time, it would be Valentine's cherry trees? Yuuko is a CLAMP character, she NEEDS sakura blossoms flying around. XD]

[boomchucka]

Yaaaaaaaahooooooooooooo!!! :D

It should be held on a train! :D

[lady_yuuko]

Someone is happy, I see~! ♥

I might consider the idea. I'm a little curious, though. Why, of all places, on a train~?

[boomchucka]

I have a really good reason to be festive for Valentine's Day this year. Now if I could find him, I'd be all set.

Because I looooooooove trains!

[lady_yuuko]

Oh, right. I forgot. Your cowboy boyfriend, right~? ♥

Oh, and why is that~?

[lady_caterina]

..I was rather hoping you didn't know of this holiday. =_=

[lady_yuuko]

You'd be surprised at the amount of holidays I know~ ♥

[lady_caterina]

Somehow, that doesn't exactly ease my mind....

[ooc: Caterina is suddenly worried there are holidays that she doesn't know about but that Yuuko does..xDDD]

[lady_yuuko]

I don't see why. Holidays are so much fun~! ♥

[Oh, she should be! XD]

[Private]

[royal_smile]

Someone?

Judging from the way you speak, I just might know who this is all about already.

[Private]

[lady_yuuko]

Do you? Share your thoughts, then~

[Private]

[royal_smile]

It's him, isn't it? My other self. He's in Lumiere once more.

[Private]

[lady_yuuko]

That would be correct.

Did you feel his presence, by any chance?

[im_waaaiting]

Ohhhh noooo...

Should I start running now or later? ;)

[lady_yuuko]

I thought you were always running~? ♥

[im_waaaiting]

Not usually away! :D

What kind of help do you need for this event?

[lady_yuuko]

Well, let's see... If everything goes according to plan, I'll need help with hanging Valentine notes on a certain set of trees. Since you're super fast, perhaps I could use your assistance then~?
