[ here have a confused warlord being confused by these foreign things. ]

I have heard several mentions of Valentine's. Yet another unfamiliar celebration, though if it is as festive as Christmas, then it may be quite enjoyable. I have heard several mentions of something called chocolate as well.

Personally, however, I wish to celebrate the coming of the new year, which is traditionally around this time for Japan, or at least for my world. I offer my prayers to Bishamonten to watch over this foreign world and protect it.

[ he offers a small prayer before continuing. ]

Selphie, if you require assistance moving, please inform me.

Ranmaru, please inform me of your plans, as well.

What's a valentines?

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

From what I understand, it is some sort of festival though the details are quite unclear.

[glubs.livejournal.com]

I don't think we have anything like that on Alternia.

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

Nor in Japan.

Are you from the same world as Kanaya-dono?

[glubs.livejournal.com]

Kanaya? Yes! We're from the same world, though I live in the sea and she doesn't.

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

Such a diverse world you must have. She has described some of her world to me.

Kenshin-dono!~~

*Selphie's smiling and waving brightly into the SFC*

Valentines is for people that you love! You're supposed to give gifts to people that you like... like...date-like. Love. Like.

Anyway, that's what it is! Isn't that nice?

I should be okay with moving!

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

A day of love? A day perfect for my dear friend Keiji. That is quite a beautiful day, one certainly quite unique.

Wonderful.

[dystopiadreams.livejournal.com]

Uh huh! Sounds really cute!


...are you still sure you don't mind?

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

A very pleasant festival indeed.

I welcome your company.

[dystopiadreams.livejournal.com]

*All smiles*

Good! Then I will see you soon Kenshin-udon-dono!

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

[ such a debauchery of his language. Oh well. ]

I shall await your arrival.

Ah... they don't have Valentine's where I come from either. But from what I understand, chocolate is a type of candy or a treat. And on Valentine's, you give it to those you care about.

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

Seems to be quite a similarity among worlds. However, such a festival does sound quite pleasant.

A treat I have yet to try, yet sounds greatly important if you offer it to those you care about.

[grandsummon.livejournal.com]

It does, doesn't it? I'm a little excited to see what it'll be like. Though I wouldn't mind learning more about your festival as well.

And I know we just met, but I'll be learning how to make chocolate soon. If you like, I can bring some to you when it's finished.

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

The festival I have experienced here was quite pleasant. Snow covered the ground. Presents abound, as well as cheer.

For new year's, I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have concerning it.

I would enjoy that greatly. May I have your name, my lady?

[grandsummon.livejournal.com]

[Yuna can't help but give a tiny smile at that] ...I haven't seen snow before. [Not yet, anyway.] But I think I would have enjoyed it as well as this festival. Will it happen again soon?

And I'm a little curious how you celebrate it. Though I suppose there's no chocolate, yes?

Please, call me Yuna. And you, sir?

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

I am unsure, yet if it follows traditions of festivals, then yes.

I have never heard of chocolate before. New Years is celebrated by ringing bells and eating mochi to welcome in the new year. Kadomatsu are also placed outside doors to welcome the kami to stay at your house. The house must also be clean and organized for a fresh start to the new year.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo.

... You don't know what chocolate is?

[He looks like he almost pitied the guy--ready to rant at how much the other is missing out.]

[delinquenthero.livejournal.com]

[But of course, the other already mentioned he'd prefer to celebrate New Year.]

A festivity of Japan... I guess it wouldn't hurt to see how that turns out. Hope you don't mind.

[ooc: /just gonna assume they already met because they were pirate ship teammates--we should really continue that somehow |'D]

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

I know not what chocolate is. I am not familiar with many foreign things. What information have you about it?

[ yes, new year's ]

Welcoming in the new year would benefit Vatheon greatly, bringing it good fortune and prosperity.

[ ooc: that works great for me. :D ]

It's an utterly heavenly creation. [He started, somehow perfectly serious. A rarity that... Yuri's being sincere with a ridiculous sentence.] In simple terms, it's created from cocoa... there are the three main descriptions: white, milk, and black... [/insert rambling here feel free to interrupt]

New Year welcomes were always great where I was from. Life was hard, but everyone around the Lower Quarter looked forward to it, pitching in for the feast. Not always delicious, because we tend to just take leftovers or cheap meat... but the thought counts.

[ Kenshin's polite and let's him finish rambling, noting his passion for the chocolate creation. ] This chocolate sounds quite amazing. I shall certainly try some myself.

Indeed the thought does count. In Japan, New Years is an important celebration. Families clean their houses and welcome the new year by ringing bells and eating mochi. It is certainly a joyous festival.

[Rebecca is speaking before she really knows she is!]

Bishamonten...? ... ...Oh, I'm sorry! Is this thing on?

[echigo-wargod.livejournal.com]

[ he offers a soft smile. ]

It is. And Bishamonten is the Buddhist god of war.
