Video [Action is welcomed]

[It looks like Rose the more populated area of Haven this time. Thankfully she has yet to sprout ram horns. A couple of cards flutter down close to her but she ignores them while Charmer, who is sitting on her shoulder, snaps at them playfully.]

I know these cards are because of this Earth "holiday" but they are a bit of an annoyance when it comes to driving around the city.

[Don't get her started on about how many times one got caught in the wheels of her motorcycle.]

At least Charmer thinks they are fun to chew on. [Just then the robo firelizard catches one and is happily tearing it up.]

What else should I expect from this holiday other than cards with what I assume, based on that news report, are cheesy declarations of love written on them?

[Rose herself will not be bothering to read any of the cards since she's really not a romantic type gal.]

[Raiden hears Rose talking into the drone through the air for a change instead of through the video network, and bounds over to her. He's been more than a bit happy lately.]

Hey.

[Smile smile.]

These things are on drugs. It's hilarious.

[action!]

[originaldragoon]

[Rose looks over to Raiden and arches a brow. She's leaning against her motorcycle when he approaches.]

That is one way to put it. Though they really do not appeal to my sense of humor.

[Do you even have a sense of humor Rose?]

[atjackisback]

[Rose is clearly some kind of female reincarnation of Snake.]

Eh, some of the puns are all right. Apparently people are coming down with horns too. I'm surprised nobody's made the obvious joke about that.

[originaldragoon]

[Or he's the male version of her since the girl is older than dirt.]

Obviously we come from different cultures. Dare I ask what the obvious joke is?

[atjackisback]

They've gotta be feeling horny.

[Ha-cha!]

[originaldragoon]

[She rolls her eyes and shakes her head.]

That was horrible.

[atjackisback]

Sometimes you make the pun, sometimes the pun makes you.

[originaldragoon]

I am not even sure what you mean by that.

[atjackisback]

[Aw, sempai didn't notice him.]

It's just a stupid joke anyway.

[Act casual, Raiden.]

Soooo.. you think the cards and the horns might be related?

[originaldragoon]

[She gives a bit of a shrug]

I know a little about this holiday, but I do not remember it having anything to do with horns. Though it would not surprise me if the Miasma was behind all of it.

[atjackisback]

Might be crossover with another holiday? I think Mardi Gras and Chinese New Year sometimes fall in February too.

[originaldragoon]

Mardi Gras and Chinese New Year? Sorry, I am not familiar with either of those. What do they have to do with horns?

[atjackisback]

[Raiden shrugs helplessly.]

One's a giant party and the other is all about the years having animal mascots. I'd take Mardi Gras over Valentine's.

[originaldragoon]

Mardi Gras would be the giant party one? I think that would be preferable over cheap cards and declarations of love that should happen any time of the year.

[Unfortunately for Wing...and Rose, Wing had just read a card when he looks up at the feed. And there's an odd light in his optics.]

They certainly are everywhere, aren't they?

[Play it cool Wing, don't swoon...he can't get that little grin off his face, though.]

[video]

[originaldragoon]

[So far Rose doesn't notice anything is wrong, since Wing does smile quite often.]

Very. It is a bit annoying.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

Charmer is happy, though.

I hope it's not too forward of me to say, but you're looking quite nice today. Did you do something different?

[Oh no, that probably was too forward, huh? There's a soft whir of fans as his faceplates heat.]

[video]

[originaldragoon]

[Well that came out of the blue. Rose is a bit confused.]

No.... I didn't do anything different.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Oops, was that too fast? So sorry.]

In any case, you’re looking nice today.

Are you busy at all today?

[video]

[originaldragoon]

Thanks...

[Why is she getting a weird feeling about this?]

No, I am not busy.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

Would you be interested in meeting up?

[For a date? No, no, he can’t say that. That might make her feel awkward.]

[video]

[originaldragoon]

I would not mind.

Do you have a place in mind?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

The restaurant perhaps?

[video]

[originaldragoon]

A restaurant?

[Well that will be weird. Considering the size difference, is she suppose to sit on the larger table? But it is a reasonable request.]

Alright.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

Shall I pick you up or meet you there?

[video]

[originaldragoon]

I will meet you there. Just name the place.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

The one place at the Hub is set up to accommodate us both comfortably. [And she’d not even have to sit on his table.]

[video]

[originaldragoon]

I shall meet you there.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

Wonderful.

[Wing is there when Rose arrives, and...Primus he can’t help that he’s a bit nervous. He shifts from foot to foot, trying to think of what to say, what he can do, to keep from frightening Rose off.]

Sweets---especially chocolate---and flowers are also a big part of Valentine's Day, though I'm not sure if we should actually be expecting any.

[originaldragoon]

I see. I think the cards are enough. Having sweets falling out of the as well would be a pain.

[10_20_15_5_50]

I agree. Imagine the mess! Flowers I wouldn't mind as much, but they'd still be a bit bothersome.

[originaldragoon]

[Rose gives a bit of a nod.]

Indeed. They can still get tangled in wheels and such.

[10_20_15_5_50]

And such. Snowstorms, I've some experience in, but now I'm imagining: ''Flowerfall Warning in effect; lowered visibility."
