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!)

makes shit up

Uh. Second month, fourth week, third day. Holidays are mostly in the middle or the end, so nope.

tries to do math,

[finethanks]

Then, given my calculations, that should leave your birthday roughly around March 14th, I think. Fufu, that's pi day, you know? How exciting.

[taggingwomprats]

Oh, stellar!

When's March 14th?

[finethanks]

Today is February 5th, and there are 28 days in February. It's not too far at all~.

[taggingwomprats]

I don't think my calendar is actually synced up with yours. At least not back home. But that's still pretty stellar!

[finethanks]

It might not be, but seeing that we all come from different times, it's like syncing our clocks. Hooray~.

[taggingwomprats]

I guess so. I don't feel an extra few months older, though.

[finethanks]

Fufu, I know what you mean by that. Technically, by this calendar, I'm already 19. But it's like skipping half of a year at least. I feel like I've cheated.

But your birthday also lies on a very special holiday. [Not pi day, that was a joke.] White Day. It's the answer to the Valentine's Day everyone is beginning to speak about.

[taggingwomprats]

Twenty-one, going on twenty-two. Not sure I feel all that cheated. It's just a number, right?

[ That's an interesting factoid. Luke blinks and then taps out a reply. ]

Really? What's it celebrate?

[finethanks]

I suppose as you get older, there are years that don't matter as much. But you see, this is my last year of high school. I'll be graduating soon. If I'm 19, it's like I've skipped over that entirely.

White Day is a day of love, much like Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, a month before on February 14th, is a day where you can show affection by gifting chocolate. On White Day, those gifted their chocolates can return the gift of love with chocolates of their own. Of course, you don't have to give chocolate, but it's the most common.

[taggingwomprats]

Oh, that's kind of neat. Makes sense.

What's chocolate, though?/font>

[finethanks]

A delicious treat. You absolutely must try it.

[taggingwomprats]

Well, hey, if you're offering...
