Let's be friends!♥

OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED VALENTINE'S DAY!! [She also can't believe she wasn't Champion of Love on last jaunt but that jaunt is gone and clearly her infiltrating side didn't have such good ideas...] ...Okay, better late than never and this Liminal is also super adorable for this so--!

[ ... so time to go back to being friendly and cheerful in your head.]

Everyone come find a Moon Rabbit from Liminal Space if you want free chocolate, free hugs and/or anything else that an ever-food-loving bunny like me can give to you~! Or just come say hello here or there or everywhere, that works too unless I happen to find you first!

[Someone's feeling social and being around people again instead of just spending most of her time with her fiance! (Also gonna link Liminal toplevel here once I get it done, watch this space.) ...also no, she is not literally a rabbit but anyone who has ever read / watched Sailor Moon is more than welcome to know who this is.]

Oh crap, it was Valentine's Day, wasn't it? I owe...er.

[This is a little awkward.]

Well, I need to do something for Naoto, at least. You don't have any spare chocolate I could play around with, do you?

[otomechapilot]

Ahahaha of course we did, but we can fix that, right?

I need to learn how to make chocolate, like, properly.

[reallymean]

Valentine's Day? What's that?

[Because yes, this is the puzzling part. Rabbits are incredibly common on several lunar bodies she knows of, so that's not weird at all.]

[rustyhonesty]

I guess I'll need to find a cute moon rabbit. I have something important to tell you anyway...

I'm also going to go meet PSYCHE-chan soon, so... want me to deliver something for her? She missed Valentine's too, after all.

Pidge-chan said it's March now, so yeah, that would have been somewhere between Winter Ball and this Liminal, so maybe somewhere during the jaunt then.

[ Talk about awkward, if Rise thinks Usagi is one of those cool Japanese girls who know how to make chocolate from scratch. ]

I do, I've been making a lot of chocolate and all things more or less full of chocolate since we returned from the jaunt. [ But she's also been busy with Mamoru and waiting for new people to arrive before she'd start talking about chocolate day which is why this post didn't happen sooner. ] So if Liminal Manipulation chocolate is okay, I'll gladly help you anytime!

Or waaaaaait, Sara is also talking about making chocolate and I think she's talking about not liminal manipulated kind of way of making chocolate... So, that could be really fun to do together in a bigger group too though I tend to fail those whenever I try back home! [... and yeah, she's openly admitting it, no shame whatsoever. She's not Mako-chan.]

[starshaper]

Of course we can, no I mean, we really should fix it!

Wow, you're so much braver than me if you go for trying to make it properly.

[starshaper]

Oooops, sorry I forgot to explain it up there...! It's celebrated on February 14th all around the world but it has different meanings depending where people are from!

In most countries it's a day for friendship or like an excuse for lovers to have the most romantic date ever! ...Of course we all know that friendship days are every single day, it's kind of weird to have one day for it but it's a day when they exchange cute gifts and cute cards and spend time together by doing something fun like possibly baking something cute together! ...I think. I've only read this stuff, I haven't experienced it myself but it's how me and my friends do that besides sharing chocolate.

Ah speaking of chocolate -- in Japan it's one of the most important days for anyone, who's in love! Girls give chocolate to their male lovers or confess their crush on boys by giving chocolate to them. I guess it works from girl to girl too but from females to males is how it usually goes. And those who are hard working adults, can also give chocolate to their co-workers but then it's more like an obligation for the day instead of a confession and singles give chocolate to their friends for friendship. I usually give some chocolate my cute brother too.

[reallymean]

That sounds like a lovely celebration.

[But it does raise a question or two. Mainly:]

Do you have a separate day for your males to give gifts to the people they love?

[And why would it have to be separate, if so? Earth customs: very confusing.]

[starshaper]

I hope you'll find her and tell me all the things~!

Private

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, REALLY???!!!!! [DID YOU REALLY MISS HER WHILE SHE WAS QUIET ON THE JAUNT, JEAN?] I WANT TO MEET HER TOO--!!

But her Liminal was a lot like Valentine's so I mean I guess we kind of celebrated it there too but who says we can't do that again...

YES, YES YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY TAKE SOMETHING FROM ME TO HER, PLEASE??!! [bless your heart, Jean, if you really, really missed this ridiculousness.]

[starshaper]

It's a really lovely celebration full of warm and fluffy feelings and excitement and amazing chances of love or new friends.

Yes! We have White Day, that's celebrated on March 14th, where they can give something back. Ribbons, white chocolate, white roses, white candles, anything really and it doesn't really have to be white either but that's kind of an obvious tradition from the name.

[reallymean]

Then we'll have to make sure it's properly celebrated in Liminal Space next year.

Is white considered the colour of love amongst your people, then?

[starshaper]

Yeah, we should really make sure of that too.

No, that's red and roses. They chose white because it's the color of sugar but it's also the color of pure like sweet and innocent love. And fluffy like marshmallows, those are also a very popular gift. Or cookies or jewelry but at least one of those is never fluffy.

[reallymean]

More's the pity. I've experienced some jewelry that could certainly use some fluffy padding.

[starshaper]

Fluffy padding would be nice on the ones, that can be really cold against skin.

Well, Liminal Manipulated chocolate is fine, I guess...Naoto will eat anything you put in front of her if she remembers to eat at all, and I could use something quickly.

[That just feels wrong, though.]

Buuuut maybe I'll hit up Sara. If I can make something from scratch, I should, right?

[otomechapilot]

I mean I’d have to be. You cook it you eat the first taste back home.

It’s mostly melting chocolate slabs so they don’t burn you learn...

[otomechapilot]

Huh. Weird. Saint Valentine’s Day is for couples to exchange gifts on my Earth in my America.

It’s also named for a saint who brought couples from countries at war together. I think.

[starshaper]

I'm a kitchen disaster but I make some of the most amazing food related stuff with Liminal manipulation. [ or so the food lover loves to think. ] Literally anything? ...If she remembers to eat? Generally speaking or right now?

It won't hurt to try at least and then you can say you really made it all by yourself!

[starshaper]

That's true, I don't really have the patience to look at food and not eat it...

Yeah umm, about that, I always burn it or something else happens that makes it not good.

[otomechapilot]

...okay tell me exactly what you do to melt chocolate.

[starshaper]

... Oh, well we can say that I don't know America very well then. Mamo-chan needs to go there and tell me all the traditions back home, but I can learn them while I'm here too.

Mm, I think so too unless there were two of them but I'm sure others know way better than me.

[starshaper]

[ WHYYYYYYYYYYYY ]

I -- May have forgotten it to the microwave for way too long more often than I can even remember? But letting it melt above water is so slow too.

Wait--!! [Why is she saying wait? Were you going somewhere? Who knows!] I still give Valentine's chocolate to Mamo-chan every year! I just -- work really hard to get them done unless Mako-chan comes to the rescue and helps me for everyone's sanity.

[reallymean]

You should design some, Usagi. Maybe it will start a new trend.

[flatteries]

[ Yeah, Inigo sure is distracted by that off-hand "bunny" remark.. Since he sure knows quite a talking humanoid bunny, but.. ]

You don't happen to be some sort of Taguel, right? [ She didn't look like one before, but.. who knows? Different branch of the species?? ]

[reincarnatedprince]

I would like to point out that I'm still alive even after eating her chocolates every year.
