[ Network ]
[Marie's become a pretty frequent user of the network in the very short time she's been here, and today as she pops up on video, it's with the biggest smile on her face.]

Good morning, everyone! I was just wondering, what plans do you all have for Valentine's Day? It'll be here quicker than you expect, after all!

[ Action ]
[Getting settled into a new room is difficult. Marie's been moving things about in her new room but... she's just given up at this point. She's taking a break for the time being. Anyone wandering the third floor of the girl's dorms will hear violin music coming from one of the rooms. The door's open... so maybe it wouldn't hurt to take a peek?]

I am wondering, what is this Day of Valentines? [Her accent makes the word sound surprisingly foreign.] Is holiday here?

Re: [network]

[It takes her a moment to understand the accent, but she nods excitedly.]

It is! It's a holiday celebrating love.

[like_baby_yak]

Love? [She looks a bit confused.] Why is special day needed to celebrate? Love is something to celebrate always, not to save away like extra crops.

[markedviolin]

[She thinks for a moment.]

I guess some people take the day to be extra-romantic? Candy companies certainly make a lot of money...

I've never really had anyone to celebrate it with, so I can't say for sure...

[like_baby_yak]

If it takes special day for someone to be romantic, perhaps romance is not best for that person.

[Gotta love that lack of English language skills.]

The buying of candy I approve of. Gifts of candy always welcome, special day or not.

[markedviolin]

I agree! Candy's just one of those things a person can't go wrong with.

[like_baby_yak]

Yes, this is truth! Candy is never wrong, any time or place.

[markedviolin]

Definitely! What sort of candy do you like best?

Valentine's?

Guess I haven't thought about it yet.

[Who'd she give gifts to, anyway? She didn't really have a 'valentine'. :|]

[markedviolin]

I haven't really given it much thought, either, I just thought other people might have...

[The closest Marie's got to a valentine is back in France anyway, so.]
