[Roji sounds as cheerful as always when he begins today's voice post. Perhaps even more so than usual.]

Hello, everyone. Roji here. As you all know, Valentine's Day is tomorrow! I've made a couple batches of chocolates if there are any girls out there looking to give gifts to their sweethearts. Ah, guys too! S-Sorry, I'm used to how it's done in Japan.

[He sighs happily. Ah, what a wonderful holiday this is. Love in the air, and all that jazz...]

I'm not asking anything for them. I'm just here to help spread the love. [How corny.] Just ask if you'd like some!

[[OOC: Roji is mostly unaffected from the event until the 18th...except a certain robot might change that. This post is completely open of course.]]

I'll make sure he goes slow. I'll take a box of truffles. And some chocolate-covered strawberries too. [Now, now, Alice, leave some for everyone else.]

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

Sure thing. [There's a slight pause, then he laughs sheepishly.] I don't have the best wrapping skills, but I'll try to make them presentable.

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

That's okay. I don't think he'd mind.

[A beat.]

How's Valentine's Day done in Japan?

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

Oh, um... On Valentine's Day, it's usually just girls who give out chocolates. Then on White Day, the boys give gifts of their own.

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

When's White Day? And why is it called that?

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

It's exactly a month from today; March 14th.

They say it's called that because a marshmallow factory came up with the holiday. But guys give much more than just marshmallows nowadays. They do keep the "white" tradition going though.

So can just anyone come up with a holiday?

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

[He laughs.] It sure seems like it, doesn't it?

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

Can we make up holidays in this place?

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

I...don't know, actually.

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

You just need a reason to celebrate right? Then do it enough so it becomes a tradition?

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

Yeah...that sounds about right. I wonder if anyone here has done something like that.

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

Don't know. Guess we'd be celebrating something new if they did, right?

[Voice]

[kindhearted]

That's true.

[He thinks that over.]

Do you think New Feather parties count? Since we do those every other month...
