I understand the basic premise behind... Valentine's Day.
[Hubert sounds a little awkward, uncertain and even a little nervous as he speaks.]
But I wasn't here last year, and we don't have a holiday like this in Strahta. Would anyone be willing to give me a little more information behind it? What's common for ah... not... "couples" but perhaps two close friends... ?
[Short, sweet and... mostly to the point. Mostly.]

Several dozen broken bones and serious burns, among other things. I dunno the extent of it all but it hurt like hell. Supposedly it killed me, even though I'm alive right now.
[Everyone he knows from his world (except for one person) comes from a time after he died, so he's willing to believe he did. That just makes his sudden recovery all the more amazing.]
action
[It doesn't really phase Hubert, considering...]
As odd and unnerving as it is, there's a certain wonder to how Vatheon is capable of such things. It's even capable of bringing people who die here back to life in a matter of days.
Having had it happen to myself, it's... unsettling at the start, but you're right - for all intents and purposes I looked and felt as if nothing at all had happened to me. Save for a minor headache, that is.
action
That's why I'm thinking the healing might have had something to do with it. If they can reverse fatal wounds, then who's to say they can't reverse things like callouses and scars?
action
[Hubert huffs, thinking back to that awful night he was killed.]
Certainly doesn't excuse residents murdering one another, though.
action
[From Hubert's words, it sounds like he's experienced the healing powers of the coral first-hand.]
action
It was... [humiliating] upsetting, but he was caught soon after and the powers that be saw fit to punish him by taking his sight away.

I wonder where they would even keep criminals locked up. I didn't see a jail or anything.

And there have been other incidents with dangerous situations. You're right, though. More often than not it's very peaceful here.
action
[He remembers Hubert saying he was a part of that, and he's thinking maybe that's why he was involved. Not because he was targeted.]
action
[He knew what was happening and was even trying to help, but that all went out the window when he was attacked.]
action
[He is, really. Such a thing must have been pretty traumatic for Hubert.]
action
It's fine. It's done and over with. If I focused on it I wouldn't be able to continue to do my job.
action
I think this will be good for today.
