[Rose had just gotten off of work and was currently making her way back to the apartments when she makes the post. She was no longer in her uniform, but she wasn't in her usual armor nor wearing her horned circlet either. Just some normal casual clothing for once.]

Apparently there is another holiday festival coming up that does not exist in my world, and thus I have no idea what it is about. The manager at the Cafe told me that if I wanted time off for Valentine's Day to ask for it soon, since Cafe was most likely going to be busy that day.

What is this Valentine's Day about and what should I expect if I do work that day?

[Considering that some of the holiday's she has witnessed so far were a bit strange for her tastes. It was best to be a bit prepared so as not to get culture shocked too much.]

Soa... If that is the case, I will ask off just so I will not have to deal with such nonsense.

That's the smart play. Nobody needs that kind of drama, and the social obligation aspect kills the spontaneity of love.

It is not so much the drama that bothers me. [It's more to do that she doesn't want to be reminded of what she had lost long ago.]

Though I do agree that having a holiday for just romance almost defeats the purpose of romance spontaneously.

I can't disagree. It's an evil plot from us business owners to get everyone to spend ridiculous amounts of money on kitchen supplies and ribbons, and it's not truly a gift if it's obliged.

But if you like chocolate...wait until the day after. You'll get a great price.

That makes it sound even worse if businesses are making a profit off of others affections.

Business isn't exactly known for its ethics. Most holidays trend that way eventually, advertisers focused on creating shopping frenzies.

Perhaps I should be grateful that my world is not like that when it comes to holidays and festivals. At least not to that extent.

[blue_ice]

Heh.

It's not that hard to avoid if you know what to look for. But spending a quiet day with the people you care about is probably a better idea.

True, but I think I will just stay in for that day.
