[In the early hours of the morning, what people will see over their SFCs is a very large room that takes on the appearance of an art studio. Despite the many artistic supplies spread in various locations, the room does house a single man in it. This man is sitting in front of a canvas that doesn't have much on it, yet he's staring very intently at the canvas before setting the brush down. What can be seen is a painting of three hearts; one white, one black, and one gray. After a few moments of staring at his creation, he picks up the SFC which was already switched on prior to him painting this odd picture, the expression on his face rather neutral. Not happy or sad, simply neutral.]

Do call me curious dear Vatheon, but this is something I have been pondering for some time now. Why should we celebrate holidays we don't celebrate back home? Certainly some have been for the amusement of it, but take for instance this one we currently celebrated. For those who don't believe in love, a holiday entirely dedicated to it is seen as ridiculous. But that can be said of all people who don't believe in certain holidays, doesn't it?

Though this holiday especially can also arouse questions within us, particularly to matters of the heart as that seems to be its theme. A few I can think of are: Is there such a thing as true happiness or love? Is the feeling truly there or not? Can the supposed happiness and love gained with another who said they felt the same remain always? Or will it fade away like sand being washed away by the ocean?

That's not entirely answering what I asked, but do go on. I'm curious to hear more of what you have to say about this place.

[crackpotcrocker]

You do?!

This is obviously a nexus of a muli verse on a universal plane. Apparently, Earth traditions are more common due possibly to the fact that the percentage of places are more from an - EARTH! Then anywhere else. Course it's only a theory.

Then of course the coral forcing your free will... It's like you have much of a - CHOICE!

[beauchevalier]

A nexus of multiverses on a universal plane? That's quite a theory and sounds a bit unbelievable. Although I don't quite understand what you mean by the coral forcing our free will.

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, but it's TRUE I SAY! TRUE! It would explain EVERYTHING! All the diversity that this place holds!

Ha,ha,ha,ha!

[Pause and beat] The coral and tatoo are tattoo are interconnected, how I'm not entirely sure but I think it's some kind of magical wi - FI!

Since the coral itself is magic, it wouldn't be the first time magic has manipulated free will. FAIRIES!

[beauchevalier]

I knew about the coral and the tattoos, but I don't think they're manipulating our free wills. Perhaps during certain curses, but not the entire time.

[He's just raising an eyebrow at Crocker mentioning fairies. He's joking, right?]

Fairies? How would creatures that don't exist use magic to manipulate free wills?

[crackpotcrocker]

That's what I meant during the - CURSES!

Yes, FAIRY GODPARENTS!

... I'm not even going to bother but it's true! TRUE I SAY!

Why I've seen things happen from where I'm from that you couldn't possibly imagine.

[beauchevalier]

[He's internally rolling his eyes, this guy doesn't know the meaning of seeing things beyond what he can imagine.]

Oh have you now? Please do enlighten me on what you've seen.
