[Kara's staring seriously into the camera when it clicks on, hair pulled up into a messy bun and arms spread business-like across her desk. on her left is an impressive stack of children's valentines (you know the kind, the ones with cartoon characters you buy in boxes for the class party) and on her right is an equally impressive bag of fun size chocolate.]

Greetings, fellow clubmates! I am sorry to be taking up your attention like this, but considering the date I am afraid that it cannot be avoided.

[the way she's speaking makes it seem like this is a life or death scenario, but then she keeps going and...]

In only a few days' time the Day of Valentines will be upon us! We do not celebrate such a holiday at home, but I have done the research on it and know very well that not receiving an affectionate greeting card can cause irreparable damage to one's soul and ruin lives!

[that's how it seemed in the many, many movies she watched that touched on the subject, at least]

I do not wish for my dear Numbered friends to suffer such a tragic fate! There were a great deal of charming cards and sweets on sale which I have taken the liberty of purchasing, and I implore you to allow me to write you at least one of them!

We may arrange for a drop-off point if you are leery of having your identity revealed, but please do not let pride keep you from accepting it! There is only so much time in which I can make these deliveries. I promise that my penmanship is excellent and any good tidings I write will stave off the horrible life-crushing feelings!

Oh, oh! Can I get one too? Pretty please with cherries on top?

[Actually wait]

No wait, make that two if that's okay!

it is certainly fine with me, although if you do not mind i am curious as to what the second is for?

[~~Trolling purposes~~]

That's a secret ♥! I don't want to ruin the surprise for that 'someone'! He'll just have to find out who that special chocolate might be!

What better way to surprise him then with all that chocolate anyway~?

ohhh, what a glorious idea! i will be certain to include the especially good sweets in that case. i hope that your secret darling enjoys it very very much! (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

I hope so too, I think he will really like it! I want to put some extra effort for him to show how much I love him!

[Yeah about that...]

I just can't wait, the look on his face will be so amazing! Oohhh, thank you again for helping me out! But where did you get that much chocolate anyway?

it is not trouble at all! helping these wonderful moments to occur is why i did this in the first place. :)

i purchased it all at the store, of course. they had the bulky packages so it was very convenient.

Well, you know what?

What about you? Don't you have any chocolates for yourself? I just can't take something away from your after you bought all those chocolates!

Hm...

So...uh...what do you like?

i was simply intending to munch on whatever sweets were left over after this endeavor, but it would be very unfair of my to deny someone the opportunity to give a gift. :)

i am not picky in the least! but i enjoy to sample the more interesting flavors, and also things that are crunch.

And besides, it's Valentine's Day! Being a teenager or an adult with nothing around on this holiday is just mean enough! Everyone deserves all the chocolates they can get just for being single!

Hm...have you ever had that crunch chocolate bar? You know, the ones with that blue packing on it? ...Do they even sell them anymore?

i have never really felt the pangs of being single, to be perfectly honest. perhaps it is because i have so much love from friends and family that i do not feel lacking. :|a

i have! they are most delicious, i enjoy them so very much. :D

Well, you're definitely a lot more positive compared to quite a few people running around! There's some that do feel the impact from Valentine's Day! But you are right, it doesn't just have to be romantic.

Oh really? Then I need to think of something else! Hm...

How do you feel about spicy chocolate?

i seem to be holding many people's positivity hostage through my own outlook if what some on this network have said are to be believed, haha. but it is all right - i will do my best to make sure that there is not very much unhappiness, which is all i can expect from one person. :)

i have never had such a thing, but it sounds fascinating! what sort of spices are used in it? :O

But even then, just something as simple like this could make someone's day! I definitely know you made mine and probably a certain someone else too! We sure need it right now with everyone going on too...

Oh you know, like chilli and probably some other hot spices to go along with it! Just anything to make it spicy and chocolatey at the same time!

that is very true. there has been a great deal of hardship swirling about the city, even before this holiday came about. it is saddening to think on.

what a glorious sounding concoction! i would love to sample some. :D

...Then what do you think about this whole thing? I mean, yeah, it sucks but...what do you think about this whole deal about this past life of yours and what to do with your powers?

Then it's settled! I'll have to make sure to mail it to you! ...Whomever you might be!

i think that for all of the danger which comes with it, it is wonderfully exciting! like something out of a storybook. C: and if we are to be given these powers and memories, we should try to do our best to help people with them.

you may call me kara! my apologies, my manners have not been the best because of the excitement.

[Kara can't see it, but there was a smile on Abby's face. Nice to see that she wasn't alone.]

That's what I said not too long ago! I can kind of understand why people wouldn't really agree with that thought but still...!

And my name is Abby and there's no need to worry about that! The excitement for this whole thing is more than enough!

there are a great deal of pessimists using this network, i am afraid. we are working on balancing this out, but it is a gradual process. :)

it is quite exciting, is it not? this is my first celebration of it, of course, but holidays are always special.

Eventually little by little, we'll get everyone to see that it's not so bad here! I mean, we got to meet so many new people and go to see all our past live friends. What's so bad about that?

Oh really? Then what kind of holidays do you celebrate? Because otherwise? You're missing quite a lot here in Locke City! There's St. Patrick's Day coming up along with the first day in spring and let's not forget about summer coming too!

nothing at all! many say that the danger makes it not worth it, but the world is very dangerous no matter what it is you are doing. here at least you have a group of people who will support you no matter what, and i think that makes the difference.

Well...there are of course the religious days, and the new year, and independence day, and victory day. There are others scattered about as well, but i would feel a bit silly rattling them all off at once. ^^;

Seriously! I just wish that a couple of people could only see that. We're not out to get each other, we're just having the same problems as they are with the police and all.

...I just wish that they could see that.

I don't mind, I've got all day! Hit me with your best shot!

i am sure that they will, when the time comes. there are some people in this world who are stubborn enough to outlast doomsday, so we must give them to to warm up. at least, i think that is the correct phrase. xD

well, there is also women's day, constitution day, pentecost, the labor days, tatyana's day, men's day, unity day, ivan kupala day, kiev day if you are in the city...things like this. :)

Haha, that is true! There are some people like that who just won't listen to others sometime! I definitely know that my brother and I'm like that sometimes! Trust me on that, wait until you see our fights...

Oohhh! So you're from Russia or something like that! That's pretty cool and especially with all those kind of holidays too!

i think it would be rather odd if siblings did not bicker at least some of the time; it is what we were placed upon this earth to do. especially when brothers are so troublesome. ;)

ukraine, actually! i enjoy all of our celebrations - we are a people who know how to appreciate our happinesses.

It sounds like you know from experience! Seriously, brothers can be the worst! He thought he could scare me into thinking he was seriously dead for two minutes!

Haha, I'm a little envious! I'm just from America and lived all her life here in Locke City! I'm afraid that I'm a little boring!
