Perscrībere 045: An "earthly" mystery

[wind_seraphim]

According to some.. ancient 'earth' based theocratic religion, this whole pink celebration started when a Roman Soldier named Valentine was executed on Feb 14, 269 AD for refusing to give up something called 'christianity'. Apparently, while he was in jail, he fell inlove with the jailer's daughter. Then before his death, he left the female a note

At the risk of sounding morbid....blood?

[wind_seraphim]

..... Pink blood...?

[firstrunebearer]

No...like bloodstains. Or maybe they just made it pink because girls tend to like pink and it's a very girly holiday?

[wind_seraphim]

That I can accept. Still...

It's almost like these females are asking for tragic-love.

[karayan_flame]

Well makes the holiday sound at least vaugely more interesting. ^^;

[wind_seraphim]

If one's related to Luca Blight, it is.

[karayan_flame]

Well no not even then. I mean it's good to know that a holiday has like a real basis as opposed to some people just feeling the need to spread pink hearts around.

I understood what you meant. You'll have to pardon my attitude as the color choice recently is making me highly murderousirritable.

[hold_aces]

Nice. Bet you get all the girls.

A tribute to a tragic love story... I would say that it's odd, but people seem to like that kind of thing...

And I'm not very fond of pink, myself. I suppose I'm in the minority...?

[wind_seraphim]

I'd consider it more a blessing, and for that I congratulate you.

[waterblessings]

Ah... thank you...?
