Hello. There are a few new books available at Petals & Pages to read. I hope to continue expanding its stock.

I am also curious about peoples' opinions on something. There have been more than a few posts regarding birthdays-- do you find them important? Is it important you know someone else's? I feel as though there are many takes on this.

Thank you.

[So what you are saying, Tamaki, is that birthdays were a better time for people that Were Not Gloomy. She supposed this was the difference Nita was implying.]

I can see how that could be nice.

[There were no potential medical emergencies or rehearsals to deflect to on this one. Hm.]

It was February 14th. I think. If that is a familiar date to you.

[21kingpuddings]

[Gloomy types should be able to have nice birthdays, too, however that might be achieved.]

that is familiar! [For! A couple of reasons!! But birthdays trump holidays, so there's no need to bring that up!] if the calendar is the same then thats soon!

did you have anything planned that you wanted to do that day?

[pinkmin]

No. There has always been other plans that day, but I am not sure if that is the same here since I do not believe there are saints and there has not been a market for chocolate for a very long time.

Though I suppose if enough calendars and traditions line up, that market may be here now.

[21kingpuddings]

I guess that could be?

there will probably be a lot of people who wanna trade chocolates that day even if it isnt a holiday here normally, but there will probably be a lot of other people who dont wanna too

if you arent doing anything different that day I could drop by for a while

[pinkmin]

Yes, that seems like a fair guess.

I do not think it would be a very different day. I like your visits, so that would be nice.

[21kingpuddings]

['Nice' is a good start.]

I will show up for sure then!

if you think of anything special you wanna do that day you should let me know ok?

[pinkmin]

You are still welcome on any day though. It doe not have to be special.

Having everyone act normal for once will already be very nice.

[21kingpuddings]

I like spending time with you regularly too but if you wanted to do something you wouldnt normally
like maybe check out the gardens? or a new cafe opened up if you wanted to see what they had
then I think a birthday is a good excuse for it
but it would be up to you!

[But. Uh. Huh.]

you mean just not being all lovey-dovey?

[pinkmin]

I am not sure if I would want to do anything differently. I have not done anything for it before.

Something like that. There would be Cupid-Bots running around that would make people fall in love with random people for the day. People were generally pre-occupied with that.

[She got hit by one one year. It was an awkward waste of her day.]

[21kingpuddings]

well, if you change your mind it wouldnt be hard to just go somewhere
but a regular day can be fun too

[So, no pressure either way. Maybe it'll be better to kind of ease into the idea of some kind of celebration, especially if she's never done something for it before.]

oh
that sounds
really annoying?

[What the heck, fight school??]

[pinkmin]

I would not want anyone to go out of their way.

It was very annoying.
And near impossible to ignore if you got hit, so it did not matter what kind of plans you had for that day. So it was just better not to do anything.

[21kingpuddings]

that feels kind of like an extra mean prank
like if people wanna celebrate valentines thats one thing
but if you MAKE them then thats different
sorry cupid bots were pulling pranks on your birthday, I hope none of the bots here do anything like that to us

[pinkmin]

It's okay I didn't tell anyone.
I feel like the natives would enjoy the holiday very much. We were all very sure the bad bots were because someone wanted to ruin the day, so something here would probably be different.

[21kingpuddings]

they probably wouldnt have stopped just for a birthday if they really wanted to do it in the first place
so it would be bad either way

[Mixing pranks with birthdays may, perhaps, be a Personal Matter for him. Perhaps.]

yeah
I bet theyd like it if they hear about it, so anything they do for it would probably be nice enough
so hopefully that much will already be better for your birthday
