[ Hey Vatheon hey! Hey! Guess what time it is! YEP. The SFC pops on with a happy Sophie watching Tiger Festival stalking balls of paper she tosses his way. When she tires of this, she turns to the SFC, line face shifting to a smile. ]

Happy Palindrome Day!

[ Thank Kid for this. And the smile shifts back to her lineface mode. ]

I don't know how people are supposed to celebrate palindromes days, but I think it has to do with mirrors. And words.

So you should talk to a lot of people and give them gifts of mirrors.
[ Nod. Then a pensive pause. ]

And you should eat doughnuts, because they're shaped like little o's, and o's are palindromes too, I think.

[ Single letters can be palindromes right? WELL THEY CAN NOW. Go eat donuts. NOW! Because Sophie proceeds to ignore the sfc after this helpful broadcast, particularly when her kitty starts climbing up her leg, demanding attention. ]

[symmetrophile]

[SHE SURE DID!]

She remembered, how delightful!

[lucentpalisade]

I wouldn't forget. [ Well.. unless she was killed *cough* ]

video;

[lucentpalisade]

Yes, I did. You know Kid too?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Yeah. He's a friend. We live in the same house, too.

video;

[lucentpalisade]

Did you get him a present for Palindrome Day?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Nah. I got him some good stuff for Christmas that he's gonna like, though.

video;

[lucentpalisade]

Are they palindromey?

video;

[keepsthefire]

They're really symmetrical! He likes that stuff.

But I can't say any more or it's gonna ruin the surprise.

[The paper balls does give him an idea for something Holiday related. Scratching his chin as he gave a thoughtful look.]

Weeeeeell- wait. Palidrone day? [Another pause.] OH! Palindromes. [Whoops. Sheepish smile was flashed.] what about bundt cake?

video;

[lucentpalisade]

Punt cake? [ WHat even is? ]

[Video]

[akumanotrill]

... Palindrome Day?

What's a Palindrome?

[Video]

[lucentpalisade]

A Palindrome is a mirror word that is pretty, and you can read it backwards and forwards.

[Video]

[akumanotrill]

I see! So... just how do you celebrate this day?

[Video]

[lucentpalisade]

I'm not sure. I think you're supposed to collect things that are palindromes, and appreciate their beauty.

[Video]

[akumanotrill]

Things, huh? Hmmm... what sort of things would be considered palindromes?

[Video]

[lucentpalisade]

[ That is a very good questio. ]

It has to be something that looks the same way on both sides. Like a donut.

[Video]

[akumanotrill]

Oh! I see! So I guess most round things would count!

[Video]

[lucentpalisade]

Yes. Like a ball, or the moon. And a box can be one, if it's not a weird shape.

[Video]

[akumanotrill]

That's not too hard then!

Have you started a collection already?

[ Video ]

[hopeofzaphias]

... mirrors? Donuts?

...

You've been talking to crazies again, haven't you.

[ So says the one who doesn't have problems trolling Sophie every so often. ]

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ HEeeeeeeeey :D ]

Yuri!

No. I don't think he's crazy. [ Pause. ] How would I know if someone was crazy? Should I ask?

[ Video ]

[hopeofzaphias]

Asking tends to cause more problems, so I'd say no.

[ He pauses. ]

... I just know if someone's crazy based on if they act weird.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

[ Head Tiiiiiiiiiilt. ]

How does someone act weird? [ What even is weird? How does one define it? She does not understand niisan D: ]

[ Video ]

[hopeofzaphias]

Like... they're not acting normally.

For example, if someone who normally jokes with you and is a close friend suddenly starts avoiding you and calling you bad names.

[ Video ]

[lucentpalisade]

That's weird? [ She pauses to process this. ]

I don't think Kid is weird.

[ Video ]

[hopeofzaphias]

I guess... though I wouldn't know. I haven't met him.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

[So this is the Sophie that Hubert was talking about]

How about certain candy shapes? They look about the same from both sides!

[Voice]

[lucentpalisade]

[ Pause pause, far too serious of an expression for a simple question. ]

Yes, I think candy can be a palindrome too~!

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Hm...can you name some for me? I'm curious what kind of candies are like that out there!

[Voice]

[lucentpalisade]

I don't know any. [ Pause. She hasn't really had much experience with the candees, except for when she got treats from the family. ]

Except for chocolate. I guess that could be a palindrome.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Hm...maybe I should try to look for some for this 'holiday'! I wonder if anyone else might be celebrating it with us!

[Voice]

[lucentpalisade]

Kid does! He's the one with the black and white hair.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Hm...you mean the one with the strips on the side? I think I've seen him before...something about 12/21...

[Voice]

[lucentpalisade]

That's today. It's a date that's a palindrome, so it's Palindrome Day.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Hm...it seems a little difficult to celebrate if everything had to look the same from both sides, but I suppose I am celebrating it since I look the same from both sides too...

[A Video message appears. There is a 13-year-old girl with a goofy looking grin in the video window.]

No sir! Away! A papaya war is on.

Video

[lucentpalisade]

[ ...what...? ]

.... What?

Re: Video

[waywardtomato]

Palindrome.

You said it was Palindrome day.

Edward said her favorite Palindrome.

Video

[lucentpalisade]

... It doesn't look like a palindrome... [ Or she's just not looking at it right. *cough* ]

Re: Video

[waywardtomato]

Same forward as backwards, yes?

It rebounds in the word Papaya.

[Then a text window pops up.]

No sir! Away! A papaya war is on.
Might be easier to see like this:
Nosirawayap-a-payawarison

Video

[lucentpalisade]

Yes... [ But she didn't get -- oh wait, text window! Thank goodness she knows how to read now. And read she does, her expression lightening a little in understanding. ]

Oh, I see it now! When you say it out loud it doesn't sound like a palindrome.

Re: Video

[waywardtomato]

Palindromes are better written down. Easier to see, then, yes yes!

Edward also likes this one!

[Another Text window.]

God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
