White Day

[dual_wield_hax]

So uh I guess by community standards it's White Day today. Being stuck where I am I can't really get anyone anything, unless we can get me out of the game for a day? It's not like I'm waiting for anything recently, considering people are still pointing at me and whispering behind my back.

I guess I'll have to wait for another few more weeks before the hubbub dies down, but they're starting to call me The Black Swordsman recently. I suppose it's better than "Beater" is anyhow.

Should at least get Sugu something... otherwise I'll probably be hit for forgetting later on.

I don't have any white clothes. What are we celebrating?

[dual_wield_hax]

It's not a white clothing day. It's a day when girls receive gifts from guys in response from Valentines Day.

[seasaltzombie]

The Black Swordsman? Sounds kinda ominous.

What's White Day?

[dual_wield_hax]

Kinda. It just means the color of my outfit. And that I use a one-handed style, no shield.

White Day is a celebration in Japan for giving gifts in return for those that you got previously on Valentines.

[seasaltzombie]

Ha ha, alright. When you put it that way, it does sound a bit less ominous.

Huh, really? I think this is the first time I've heard of it. It's a nice idea, though.

[dual_wield_hax]

Trust me, I'd prefer Black Swordsman over Beater any day.

Yeah, it's a tradition in Japan really. Siblings give chocolate to one another since it's a sign of filial affection and all, but girls and guys give chocolate on various days.

Good going, you're getting cornier nicknames by the minute.

[dual_wield_hax]

People are starting to get a reputation around the game now due to how good of a player some of them are. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more nicknames appearing later on.

[tenminutes]

You should at least consider being something so absolutely ridiculous that it sounds cool, like "Lord Black Ronin of the Beater Buster Battalion."

[dual_wield_hax]

That'd be something else. But I don't think it'd fit under "title".

[hunterofpeace]

We were supposed to get presents?! When?!

[seasaltzombie]

It does have a better ring to it.

So... what, it's girls on Valentine's Day, boys on White Day?

[dual_wield_hax]

For getting chocolates on Valentines Day, you're supposed to give out White Day presents in reply.

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah it does.

Yeah, girls on Valentines Day give chocolate and gifts to guys, and on White Day boys reciprocate it.

[tenminutes]

LBRBBB then.

[dual_wield_hax]

Sounds like the sound you make by sticking your tongue out and blowing.

[hunterofpeace]

Aw, man! Nobody told me.

[A sigh.]

And you're getting pointed at for forgetting? I don't need that!

[dual_wield_hax]

I'm not getting pointed for anything.

[hunterofpeace]

You said people were pointing.

[dual_wield_hax]

That's for something else entirely.

[tenminutes]

There's a point to that.

[dual_wield_hax]

... oh. Oh I get it. Heh that is kind of amusing really.

[hunterofpeace]

Ohhh...what?

[dual_wield_hax]

It's a long story, but they're calling me a Beater, which is a Beta Tester and a Cheater rolled into one, as well as The Black Swordsman.

[seasaltzombie]

Wow... you must end up getting an unbelievable stomachache from all that chocolate if you're popular.
