Valentine's Day~

[luckylakshmi]

No matter what we may face, the holidays are still there for us to rest our weary souls even if this one can be a bit stressful. In less than a week it will be that glorious celebration of love, Valentine's Day! I shall spare you the details of its origins, and get to my point.

I know we have quite a few couples on base, all of them young and many

Feh, what a useless waste of time.

[luckylakshmi]

Love is never a waste of time.

[mr_catshark]

They need to get over it. There are more important things going on than idiotic monkey emotions.

[luckylakshmi]

Like getting beat up by and going out for drinks with a certain lovely In some sense of the word I imagine lady?

[2000mockbattles]

You're like, what, ten?

[luckylakshmi]

Thirteen if it matters.

[2000mockbattles]

Yeah, what makes you even a little qualified to give anyone love tips?

[luckylakshmi]

My prodigious knowledge of human thinking?

[cursedlikeyoko]

...Is it that important?

[luckylakshmi]

Call it a matter of morale if you must.

[cursedlikeyoko]

I'm not sure I understand.

[luckylakshmi]

How can a place with so many young couples retain a pleasant atmosphere when they are not allowed to celebrate such things?

Um...

H-how do I make chocolate?! It always ends up watery or in some kind of hard plastic consistency.

((by a bizarre quirk of chemistry, the latter is bulletproof))

...what kind of ingredients are you starting with?

Filtered

[soylent_genki]

Um, cocoa beans, cocoa butter, soy milk, sugar...

...coffee beans, vanilla extract, mint leaves, nutmeg, fennel...some gelatin and yogurt when I was trying to fix the consistency...um, some onion powder...

...er, um. My... best suggestion for you is to seek out Mr. Feinschmecker at some point. He is far more likely to be able to assist you with such things than I am.

Why onion powder?

Hey, do you have insights about, uh, specific people?

Private

[luckylakshmi]

Which specific people?

*Suddenly seems a bit less confident*

Suppose, hypothetically, I was talking about Asuka.

Private

[luckylakshmi]

Asuka. Right. That... that does provide a bit of a challenge.

She seems proud of her German heritage, and Valentine's celebrations in Germany are largely influenced by American culture. Roses and the like are a good choice, especially since she seems to like the color red.

...still. Asuka?
