ϡ - Chapter Three; the normalcy of everyday [action/voice]

[folklorist]

[ Regardless of the light snowfall now going that won't deter the ever wandering headmaster who is carrying various bags of groceries from his recent travels back to his new apartment. He’s just whistling a little tune as he does so not really paying much attention; he might even trip a little but he doesn’t fall yet the bags he’s carrying rustling with the action. If you happen to run into him as he’s standing outside community house #7 you’ll see his bag is filled with all sorts of foods, and a lot of bags of sugar…like three or ten four. ]

Only a few weeks here and I've already been subjected, or at least everyone around me has, to one of those so called shifts. Amazing! I wonder how they're doing it...a spell? Incantation? Perhaps some sort of voodoo? Hmm oh! Maybe it's these wings it's hard to say but I think...[There's some shuffling as he puts down the various bags. He laughs and clears his throat. ] Oh...I forgot this was on! And here I am talking to myself, haha!

Now then...which room was it? Floor...five. Oh dear...er. Ted, or Lazlo even, haha I seem to have forgotten the room number. Ah my memory isn't what it used to be! [ There's another light laugh. ] At least I found the building!

[ Or there’s the reason that he never asked, derp. There’s some rustling as he puts down another one of the bags scratching the back of his head to disperse the snow now clinging in it and because he's totally forgotten where to go. ] It's Valentine's Day soon...isn't it? Well in terms of days back on Earth, at least I think. I had almost forgotten.

[ His voice sounds completely emotionless with that sentence if not a bit sullen. A sigh comes over the transmission, albeit its constrained and distant as if Helios moved away from the journal so as to not be heard. This holiday is always the hardest on him, but he won't concern anyone with his problems. ]

I do hope everyone enjoys themselves it's such a nice holiday, lots of sweets to be had and all that! A very rich history to it as well. Maybe we'll even be graced with a visit from Cupid himself. [ And his voice goes back to being its usual happy self and he laughs. ]

Oh, you're looking for Ted? He's in the room next to mine, number 22.

[Voice]

[folklorist]

Ah! Thank you miss! That's just what I needed to know. It seems we'll be neighbors then! [ Slight pause, waait a minute. ]

We've spoken before...haven't we?

[Voice]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

Have we? [A bit of a pause...] Oh yes, you commented the last time I said something over the journals.

And yes, it does appear as if we will be neighbors.

[Voice]

[folklorist]

I don't recall if I ever introduced myself...ah I'm Helios Sprensonne! It's a pleasure to meet you!

It's February here? It hasn't been long since Valentine's Day back home...

[Voice]

[folklorist]

Hm, well if I've been keeping track right, from when I was taken, yes it should be February seventh today.

[Voice]

[waxvampire.livejournal.com]

Just a week, then. I wonder how many people here celebrate Valentine's day.

[Voice]

[folklorist]

A week?

With so many different worlds and cultures it's hard to say.

[Voice]

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

Valentine's Day does have a rich and fascinating history.

[Voice]

[folklorist]

Indeed! The actual St. Valentine's story wasn't as...well wonderful. But! That just adds to the flavor of the holidays.

[Voice]

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

This is actually the first year that I'd have the time to celebrate it.

[Voice]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Room 22. I was wondering if you were still taking up that offer.

[Voice]

[folklorist]

Oh! Yes, er well I mean-- [ He just pauses. And then sounding a bit amused. ]

I have sweets and food it'd be a shame if they didn't find a proper household.

[Voice]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Come on over, then. I'm sure we can give them a proper place.

[Voice]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Umm...I don't want to intrude-- but you mentioned a holiday. Which one are you talking about?

[Voice]

[folklorist]

Oh not at all! Valentine's Day. It's an annual holiday typically celebrating the love and affection between intimate companions. Most of the time people give one another flowers, cards, those sorts of things, to express it.

[Voice]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

Really? I've never heard of such a thing. Sounds....demonstrative. What world does it originate from?

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

Valentines Day?

[ooc: Placeholder! Will Reply in the morning~]

[folklorist]

Ah Kohaku! How are you doing? Well I hope! [ He sounds happy to speak with the angel again. And he'll be glad to tell about Valentine's Day too. ]

Oh! It's an annual holiday held on Earth.

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm doing fine! What about you?

What is it about?

[voice]

[maybeaprince.livejournal.com]

Oh, you must be the one Ted was talking about. Do you need helping finding it?

[voice]

[folklorist]

Oh I do hope he hasn't said anything bad. [ There's a nonserious tone to his voice. ] And you must be Lazlo! It's a pleasure to meet you finally! Ah I've been told by someone, our neighbor apparently! Room twenty-two.

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

You know Ted and Lazlo?

[folklorist]

Mmhm! We're acquaintances, yes. More Ted than Lazlo for now I haven't gotten to speak with Lazlo much yet but hopefully I will soon! I'm staying with them for the time being.

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

Well, they're both nice young men.
