[.004] 4 the holiday

[Guess who just ate some candy?]

U-um, I'm not entirely certain why I'm doing this but--

I'm in love with--

...well, nobody, actually. I'm not even completely sure I know what that means. Although I do really rather like all of the people I've met here. And--... I guess you could say there are people I miss. Huh. I-I'm sorry, I'm not

...

Is this all part of that "Valentine's" thing?

[pallidhues]

...Do you think that might be it? ...Mm. A lot of other people are acting kind of weird, too. That's probably it. --But no one mentioned anything about randomly shouting things on Valentine's Day. ...Oh! I did eat these weird heart-shaped candies that weren't there before now. [Which, in hindsight, was probably a bad idea.] They're kind of--... chalky.

[xanotherdreamx]

Yeah, a lot of people are talking about friends and that love thing today so I thought it must be now.

Chalky? That doesn't sound like it's good.

[pallidhues]

Seems like it. It would make a lot more sense if they explained it a little better.

It's not. [A tiny, invisible shrug.] But it's kind of... interesting? They have words on them, too.

[thunder_striker]

A lot of people seem to be doing this lately.

[pallidhues]

O-oh! [An awkward little attempt at a laugh.]

...Is this supposed to happen on Valentine's Day?

[thunder_striker]

I, ah...

How cute...

Um, ah. I don't think so, no.

[pallidhues]

...?

A--...Ah. Then... do you think it could be those little heart-shaped candies?

[skyruns]

...are you alright? What just happened?

[pallidhues]

I-I'm fine. I just... don't know why I said that, but I think it might have had something to do with those weird heart-candies I was eating.

[skyruns]

C...Candies? Ah, so that's why these are... Well, at least it doesn't seem to be that bad... right?

[pallidhues]

Mm. It's not too bad. Just a little strange.
