Fuda # 18 | Sock 'n' roll.

[idealism]

[Today Tsuzuki's network post is arranged by his two sock-puppets. Literally. He's wearing a colorful sock on each hand, trying to be anonymous. One of the sock-puppets hold up a sign with a flying, fat baby on it. It's holding a bow and arrow.]

Greetings everyone!

My name is Sock!

My name is Sock Too!

Today we're going to talk about

Valentine's Day!

On Earth, it's common to give your valentine chocolates or a card on the 14th of february. It means you really like them! Then, if they like you back, on White Day they give you chocolate in return!

What if my valentine isn't in Luceti anymore?

That's easy. You still write them a card, but we put them in... this! [Some fumbling later, Tsuzuki produces a heavy box with a heart on top. He makes the sock-puppets open it with a creak.]

That way, when your valentine returns to Luceti, you can show them this card. Then they'll know you never forgot about them!

[He tries to reach for the off-button on his communicator, and ends up showing half his face. And he still can't press the right button.]

Oh damnit.

[...why are there talking socks?]

[markofthebrave]

[And then what the socks are saying sinks through.]

Oh - is that what that was all about?

[Man, no one told her about White Day! She should have given Sanji something back!]

[Tsuzuki's starting to see that his brilliant idea maybe wasn't so brilliant. He manipulates a sock so it wears a :( face.]

Yes. A lot of worlds don't celebrate it, so I thought that a public announcement might help clear up some confusion. And well, it wasn't supposed to be sent now. There was still a lot of editing to be done.

[markofthebrave]

Well, at least this way you give people plenty of time to prepare something?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Some people need that extra time. One year it took me ages to learn how to avoid burning the caramels.

[markofthebrave]

So it's traditional to give sweet things?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

In some places, yes. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh wait-]

So it's a holiday where you only give things to people if you feel for them as more than a friend?

[What is this kind of craziness? That seems like it would be either really romantic or just... make a lot of people feel horrible.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Well.

Technically. But it's not uncommon for friends to give each other chocolate.
