[recollecters]

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

None.

I haven't had the occasion to celebrate it for some time.
More often, I had to watch men get depressed over their inability to celebrate it.
I hope it will be a refreshing change this year.

Ooh, that's true. That's a good way to think of it.

Even for those not seriously celebrating, I still feel like the overall vibe of the holiday in the city is a nice one. Plus, the bakeries are phenomenal around this time of the year. They go all out for Valentine's Day!

[He's in this for the sweets, if that wasn't obvious enough.]

[idealest]

Is that so?
Will you be buying anything? If you do, please bring back enough for me too.

[ He'll pay Roji back... ]

[kindhearted]

Most likely! Treats around this time are hard to pass up.

[Or around any time, but details.]

And sure, I'd be happy to grab something for you! Do you have a preference? Cake, cookies, tarts, etc...?

[idealest]

Pick out whatever looks least sweet.

[ what's the point then sakichi ]

[kindhearted]

[There's a pause on Roji's end...

...]

Sakichi, you gotta go sweet or go home on these kinds of things! That's the whole point of sweets!!

[idealest]

I don't like sugary things...
Then
I'll leave the sweet parts to you.

[ I hope Roji likes 200% sugar?? ]

[kindhearted]

[Does he ever.]

Ahaha... I appreciate that.

If you're super serious about it though, I'll try to see if I can find something less on the sugary side but still on the baked good side too. I promise I'll make it work for the both of us!
