idealism | Fuda # 18 | Sock 'n' roll.

[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.

[ ... this may or may not give her Ideas, but she's more concerned about something else... ]

I dunno... last year there was an experiment. I hear there's one every year. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the point...?

I only heard about the experiment recently. Hm... If we put the letters in the box one day before, we can keep them safe until the experiment is over. It wouldn't hurt to get valentines a week later, would it?

... no, it probably wouldn't ... that might not be a bad idea. [ thoughtful. if only because... this might be her chance, right? hm. ]

Valentine's day sounds nice, though... when the Malnosso aren't messing with it.

I hope it's not a bad idea, in any case. [He offers her an easy smile. To Tsuzuki, she sounds wistful.]

Yeah. I wish they'd leave it alone for once.

[ that's because she is. the gears are turning... she's going to leave that second bit of their conversation alone in favor of more important things. ] Um... I know we've only just met, but could I ask you a favor?

Sure. What do you need?

[ yeah, she's gonna go ahead and filter this. and then ... fidget for a moment, because this is really embarrassing, but...

just in case, right? and ... she'd like to tell him ... and when better to be brave than Valentine's Day? ]

Um ... there is ... someoneIlike, but ... I can't tell him yet. But I like your idea, so... I want to write him a letter. Could you ... put it in that box for me, and hold onto it? That way... like you said, it'd be safe until the experiment was over, and I could give it to him then. [ ... fidget. ]

[She is so cute. Tsuzuki hopes that the person she's crushing on will recognize that, as he makes his reply.]

I'd love to help out. Just come by with your letter before valentine's day, then I'll show you were I'm keeping the box.

Thank you so much! [ relieved. and he's not teasing her! thank goodness. ] Where do you live? By the way, my name is Xion!

[Love is serious business, so Tsuzuki wouldn't tease her about that. He might tease her about other things when he gets to know her better, though. ] Oh, right! I probably should've mentioned that. I live in 49.

Nice to meet you, Xion. My name is Tsuzuki Asato.

[ do you want her to be flustered forever, Tsuzuki. come on now. ] I-It's nice to meet you too! [ it's a little nerve wracking to ask such a big favor of a total stranger. ] Um... could I come by later today? I already know what I want to say...

[Yes! I mean, no!]

Of course. If you run into one of my room-mates, don't be scared of them. Their bark is worse than their bite. [He can't help but grin when he hears her whisper, though.] Is he a crush you've had for a while?
