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!)

well dont die
let me know what they say! I'll help if i can!!

[finethanks]

Fufu, I won't die yet. ♪ I'll let everyone know once I can.

Are there any holidays you celebrate?

[rockthemonkey]

not really but festivals are fun! they have lots of good food.

[finethanks]

So you have no input, but you want to enjoy all of the fun? How lazy, Goku. Don't worry, there should be plenty of festivals to enjoy.

[rockthemonkey]

Im not lazy! I just dont know any!

[finethanks]

That's really strange, you know? Are you from somewhere with no holidays, or do you never leave your house?

[rockthemonkey]

[More like he's just. Really unobservant.]

I've seen them and stuff I just dont really pay attention to what theyre about or what the date is.

wait does new years count? i know that one!

[finethanks]

That's laziness. Staying out of the loop on things. I should punish you. Bad Goku~.

New Years does count, in fact, but it's already been celebrated, so it's on the calendar.

[rockthemonkey]

[what]

you cant punish me what are you talking about?

[finethanks]

Hmm, why not? Punish, punish. ✰ Repent.

[rockthemonkey]

[...] I'm sorry?

wait i just remembered one! the mooncake festival! that ones in autumn so it hasn't happened yet right? that ones great!

[He just wants mooncakes.]

[finethanks]

[Mooncake fes... wait.]

Could you mean the mid-autumn festival? I've heard of that one, I think.

[rockthemonkey]

yeah the one with the lanterns! Its fun and were in space so a festival about the moon makes sense right?

[Also: mooncakes]

[finethanks]

I wonder what the exact date for that is? Do you remember? I'll have to see if anyone else does, or pick one myself.

[rockthemonkey]

[ummm] autumn right?
wait what season is it now?

[It's just space outside???]

[finethanks]

Autumn isn't an exact date. As I mentioned at the beginning, Victor has a calendar that lines up with his time, so if we go by that... It's February 5th, which would make it Winter.

[rockthemonkey]

But it's not snowing

[Time is an imagined human construct, the seasons have no meaning, etc etc. Also, it's Summer in Australia.]

[finethanks]

[Australia sounds fake,]

It's not sunny, either, you know? You can't judge weather in space.

[rockthemonkey]

so we can have an autumn festival whenever!

[Space: where the seasons are made up and the weather doesn't matter?]

[finethanks]

[This guy is maybe the first to actually annoy Eichi, good job.]

"Whenever" wouldn't really fit on a calendar, you know? I'll have to ask around and see if anyone knows an actual date. If not, I suppose I'll choose one myself. If every day were a festival, it would lose the feeling, wouldn't it?

[rockthemonkey]

[Success.]

if you say so. it sounds like fun to me but you can pick just one day if you want.

[finethanks]

I'm afraid it's not so simple when it comes to dates like this. I wouldn't want to insult or offend anyone by simply picking a day because somebody wants to enjoy mooncakes. That would be silly, wouldn't it?
