[The following is a Video Invitation, sent to everybody! And I do mean everybody.]

Hello, everyone. I know things have been very rough lately, but these sort of occasions call for some cheering up. My dear friend Merlin and I have decided to hold a Valentine's Day Festival, to cheer people up and have some fun. I've noticed a lot of people getting ready for the holiday even before this!

I've also noticed that some people don't know what it is! I was very surprised. Valentine's Day is on February 14th, and it's for sweethearts! You spend the day with the person you love, giving them chocolate, and telling them how much you love them. It's the perfect time to confess your feelings, or strengthen your relationship!

With that in mind, Merlin and I have a lot planned!

[What follows is an IC explanation of this post to give you guys all the details.]

I hope you enjoy yourselves! I've got plenty of chocolate to make.

(Surprise regarding Merlin's involvement in this, he has none.)

Merlin has a "sweetheart" in this place?

Not yet, anyway. I'm surprised he doesn't have a flock of girls after him, he's such a dear!

You need a special day in order to tell someone you love them? I tell Juudai I love him every day, in many different ways.

I didn't mean it like that! Valentine's Day is just a way to highlight it! It's all about love! There are some shy people out in the world who need this day so they can say what they really feel.

I guess your Valentine's really is a little different, huh? But it sounds like fun.

Actually, I'm not a human.

Not normally, anyway.

Cookies and chocolate? I'll be there.

You're the one who organized the Winter Festival as well, right?

Oh, it wasn't just me, we all worked very hard together.

... isn't that way too much for Valentine's of all things?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

But Valentine's day is one of the best holidays!

We don't have anything quite like that where I'm from. Just kind of an appreciation day where everyone gives each other gifts. It is big among couples, but people also do it for children and friends and co-workers and such.

It's bigger in places on the mainland though. We have our own traditions in Wutai.

An 'appreciation' day! That sounds wonderful!

Oh, that's-

[There's a pause, he's picking his way around the snowy trail so he has to focus before he goes back to talking with Mama Minnie]

That's Hope's birthday.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

What a great day to have a birthday on!

[databinder.livejournal.com]

A sweetheart, huh...

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

And friends too! I'll be sure to whip you up a good batch of chocolate!

[He's silent for a second, before grinning. There is food and dancing. He likes this idea. :|b]

Sounds like a good time.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It should be! Do you have a sweetheart?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

A valentines festival? But it's not even a big deal. Just an excuse for people to buy cards and candies.

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It's way more than that!

[drugsbeleid.livejournal.com]

... Does this really need a festival?

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

You're planning another festival, Minnie-san? [ A beat. ] Valentine's day sounds different where you're from.

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It's not going to be as big as the others, but it will be just as fun!

[usedgigadrain.livejournal.com]

Another holiday? This place does like them, eh?

[Love holiday. Well, he's kind of out of luck there.]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

One can never have too many festivals!
