video, un: Yousoro★
[When the video turns on, You is standing next to a wooden box, about the size of a large microwave oven, her hand resting on its top. She seems to be in the marketplace of Olympia.
She waves at the camera.] Hi~!
So, this place has months that are pretty much just like the ones on Earth, right? Which means that we're coming up on a very special holiday: Valentine's Day! Seriously, it's right around the corner!
If you don't have it where you're from, Valentine's Day is a holiday all about love, and romance, and celebrating the people you love! [There's the slightest of pauses. She frowns a little bit.] Actually, to tell the truth, it's a little bit different in Japan, but-- but that's not important right now! The important thing is, it's almost here!
And I know that since we're all still uprooted from home, it's probably really lonely to spend Valentine's Day by yourself. Sooooo... I'm gonna find everyone a match! [She beams at the camera, using her thumbs and fingers to form a heart-shape in front of her chest. It's honestly kinda precious.
She breaks the heart shape to tap the top of the wooden box.] Seriously, I'm gonna do it! I've got a box set up in Olympia, and one set up in Wyver, and you can fill out the form and put it in the box, and I'll go full-speed-ahead at finding you a perfect match! And, we'll all have a big dinner party with your new date!
[Another pause. Her expression turns sheepish.] Actually, if anyone wanted to help chip in money for that... renting the place is gonna be really expensive...
--but yeah, you should sign up! It's going to be great!

in Japan (my country) we do things a little differently
most of the world just has the one day but we split it up!
on valentines day girls give boys they like chocolate
and on white day a month later, they return the favor!
no subject
Unusual.
I suppose it's sweet to make separate days to expression affection like that.
It is a shame you are unsure of its origins. Depending on who you ask, many find Valentione's quest for true love over her station as a Baroness of Ishgard to be quite moving.
no subject
so you know the story behind yours then? can I ask what it is
no subject
Well, the holiday was originally established to pay tribute to Countess Arabelle de Valentione. It is a noted legend in Ishgard, for she supposedly forsook a sheltered, pampered life amongst nobility, and set off on a quest to see true love.

you dont have to have gotten anything from them back usually
that sounds like a really nice story! did she succeed?
no subject
They say she did. After her passing, they added a heart-shaped escutcheon to the family's coat of arms. Supposedly she carried such a thing into battle.
no subject
and I guess theres some sense you should do that but its like
its more like you SHOULD or else youre being a jerk, not like you HAVE TO
if that makes sense
no subject
Ah, I see.
Well. Do people often find love on this day? Or do too many fail to muster courage in the face of potential rejection?
no subject
I dont really know
I mean Im like not that experienced and besides I went to an all girls school so
but Im sure there are people who find love together on that day!
no subject
Let us hope so.
And you're aiming to help that happen here, I see?
no subject
