[backdated to valentine's day | video]

[units]

[the background of this scene is... extremely red and pink. there are hearts and ribbons everywhere, and little cupids flying about. pretty much, anything that makes you think of Valentine's Day is there in what looks like a town. it sounds like there's a party going on, too. and here's Xion, covered in ribbons and confetti, with her hood pulled up to conceal her face.]

Hi, community. I decided to spend Valentine's Day in Valentine's Town. I'm sorry I missed the community party. Everyone is really excited for it here, though! I don't really understand a lot of the things here, but the countdown was fun. It was a countdown to the spreading of love or something. With arrows—?

[off-screen, someone shouts out,] Hey, Xion! Come back and join the party!

[Xion's smile freezes, and drops right off her face. she doesn't move. she almost shakes. for a long time, she just stands there, apparently shocked or horrified by something, and finally she smiles again - much more strained than before.]

Coming! Sorry, everyone. I have to go. Oh - but if anyone wants to visit Valentine's Town today, just tell me and I can bring you. Okay?

[and she's off!]

Valentine's Town is a thing?

( locked )

[units]

Of course! There's Christmas Town, Halloween Town, and Easter Town too. I'm not sure what the other ones are yet.

A town for every holiday, huh? I shouldn't even be surprised anymore.

Wonder if St Patrick's day has one.

( locked )

[units]

Maybe. There's not a lot of doors here, but it could be somewhere else I haven't looked. What's St Patrick's day?

[not_that_lockon]

It started off as an Irish religious thing, what with Patrick being our patron saint. These days it's an excuse for anyone with Irish ancestry to party and drink a lot. Shamrocks are usually involved.

Wow. That is a lot of pink.

[units]

I said that too. I guess it's a Valentine's Day tradition.

[ and forever video ]

[onefeeling]

Valentine's Town with it's Valentine's tradition of the most pink in existence.

Peter would hate it.

[units]

He doesn't like pink?

[onefeeling]

Pink is too girly.

*key.* *words.*

[seasaltzombie]

"Xion"...?

So that's your real name, huh?

[units]

No, it's another fake name. I don't have a real name, remember? Apart from "no. i".

[seasaltzombie]

Oh.... right. Yeah. How many fake names does one person need?

[units]

I use a lot. It's better if people don't remember me.

[seasaltzombie]

That seems a little... sad. I wouldn't want to forget you.

[Have a kitty with red eyes, Shio.]
That place looks absolutely tacky. Why is not all red instead of pink?

( text | icons invisible )

[units]

I think pink and red together are the traditional Valentine's Day colors.

okay! /permavideo -text for him

[deadlydoctor]

Why?

[units]

I don't know... Maybe they're supposed to be romantic?

[deadlydoctor]

ah....baw, love. You humans and your silly feelings.

[icantbelievethis]

You guys have a place for everything.

[units]

That's not true... There aren't a lot of doors in the forest. I'm not sure what the other ones are, though.

[icantbelievethis]

If there isn't a place for a holiday, the community will probably make a party to make up for it anyway.

[units]

The community has a party for everything... Even if it's not a holiday.

[icantbelievethis]

That's the best part!
