[finethanks]

I hope all of you are doing alright after everything that's happened. Our new friends must be in mourning, so let's do our best to respect them and work together to make it easier on them. Even if we are to fall seven times, together, we can stand up eight and help these new crewmates on their feet as well. The Fek seem to have some amount of trust towards myself and my two teammates who visited them back on the planet, Victor and Yuuri, so if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask us. You know, they're very cute, gentle creatures.

However, in the midst of all of this torment and heartbreak, I'd like to focus on brighter things. We all seem to be arriving from different worlds, dates and times, and Victor had mentioned to me that he was keeping a calendar. If we are able to share our dates like this, I believe we can become closer as a community and offer support towards one another, you know? I support this idea fully, so, I'd like to help out in whatever way that I can, beginning with your birthdays. If you don't mind, please let me know your name and birthday so that we can add it to our calendar. ♪ Fufu, for those of you with more unique calendars, let's discuss a way to translate it so that you won't be left behind. Leave it to me.

I'll also take any holidays that you may know of. If I'm unfamiliar, please explain them to me once I ask. I'm in your care. ♪

By the way, I try to make a daily visit the atrium and have tea. If anyone would like to join me, you can always meet me there in the afternoon. If any of you would become regulars in enjoying tea with me, I would be so happy. ✰ Ah, with all of this hope, my heart might explode, it's beating so fast. Thank you all.

(ooc: For those who don't know, the calendar Victor has been keeping lines up with the RL date, conveniently! For those with birthdays on a different calendar system, you can let me know in brackets if you have a converted date you like, or let Eichi come up with it ICly, it's up to you!)

Good idea, letting everyone know about this. I still can't believe they asked for us.

[Though Yuuri thinks he can understand how a familiar face would be a comfort when everything you know has been turned upside down.]

For the calendar, it looks like Valentine's Day is coming up soon. I don't know how many would celebrate it here, though.

[finethanks]

Valentine's day, that's right. ♪ It would be a shame to forget a day like that. Won't you be celebrating it, Yuuri?

[yokunaru]

I want to. It was always a big deal back in Japan, but I never really did anything for it myself.

Besides, things have been really heavy around here, like you said. Valentine's Day could be fun.

[finethanks]

That's true, isn't it? I'm sure if you ask him, he'll make plans with you.

Thats really nice! My names Goku and my birthdays april 5!

[He has no intention of being here long enough to celebrate that but hey, participation!]

Do you think those guys have birthdays too?

[The Trilk and Fek.]

[finethanks]

How old will you be turning, Goku? I'll be sure to have Victor mark it down, fufu. ♪

Did you mean the aliens? I'm not familiar with the Trilk myself, but from time spent with the Fek and speaking to them now that we're able, it seems they celebrate an aging day together. They're raised all together, as part of a community. Their calendar is very different from ours, but I was able to work out that their "aging day" would line up roughly with April 13th, this year.

[rockthemonkey]

I think I'm turning 20.

we should do something for them on april 13th then! a big party with lots of food they like! it might make them feel a little better right?

[finethanks]

I agree. Once some time has passed, I'll try speaking with them about any traditions they might have, and share them. It's so exciting I could die.

[remainingtwin]

20!?

My birthday's March 8th. Someone mentioned Valentine's coming up, and then there's its counterpart White's Day on March 14th. July 7th is Tanabata and August 13th through the 15th is Obon.

There's some other holidays I celebrated but they're not really universal and would be pretty hard to observe here in space, I guess.

I wonder if the ship will be decorated for Earth holidays or some alien ones instead.

[finethanks]

A lot of birthdays aren't too far off~. Our holidays line up, so they're all accounted for. Of course, it would be too much to think that we could celebrate each and every one, but by placing them on a calendar, we could at least acknowledge it. ♪

Won't the decorating be left up to us? The crew seems too serious.

[remainingtwin]

Seems most fall in the beginning of the year or summer. I don't mind if mine goes unacknowledged though. [In fact she's regretting putting it up to begin with right about now.]

I guess that's true. This crew seems okay with leaving a lot up to us, don't they.

I guess with Valentine's coming up though, we could put up a lot more hearts and red and white decorations? There's enough shops I'm sure a couple would carry stuff we could use.

[finethanks]

I'd love to see some decorations around. I can't help with much, but I can watch if you'd like.

It's good to have your birthday on the calendar even if you don't want to celebrate it, you know. It makes for a supportive environment, where everyone is glad you're alive. Yay~.

chill out with the hope if you have a heart condition, dude.

anyway donut day is june 2nd so put that on your calendar

[finethanks]

When you have a condition like I do, hope is all you have. ♪ Yay, hope.

Donut day, is it? What an exciting day. Are there free donuts? I wonder if that could be enforced. I'll add it immediately.

[slackbeard]

deep breathes tho. remember how great those are.

usually yeah! or at least 2-for-1 deals

it's less an enforcing thing and more a celebration thing. a donut celebration

[finethanks]

Celebrations must be declared so by a ruler of some sort, who enforces rules. In a way, even celebrations are enforced. As ruler, I'll declare all donuts 2 for 1 on Donut day. ♪

My name's Luke, but I'm pretty sure your calendar isn't going to be on Galactic Standard.

[finethanks]

Fufu, that's why I'm offering my services. ♪ Explain your calendar to me, and together we can work out your birthday. How many months are there, and how many days per month? That sort of thing can help.

[taggingwomprats]

Let's see. There's five days in a week and seven weeks in a month. 368 days in a year. There's ten months, three festival weeks that aren't really in months, and three additional holidays that also aren't included in a month.

[finethanks]

What an interesting calendar! Then, which month, week and day were you born from the beginning of your calendar, and were there any holidays between the beginning of it and then? I believe that would be the best way to calculate your birthday, fufu. ♪

[genice]

Yuuri's birthday is the 29th of November~!

( just to, you know, officially put it on record. )

[finethanks]

What a long way off that is. I hope I can make it long enough to celebrate with him~.

[EICHI]

[genice]

You talk like that, I might have to start asking about bionics here~.

[finethanks]

Fufufu, would you have me half man, half robot, or something like that? How scary. ♪ I don't think my body could take it. Let's avoid unnecessary surgeries.
