[Someday he'll realize this and smack him upside the head and tell him to start treating people more equally but for now he's just excited to see the changes.]

No, 'cause it was only just last year that I even really got friends. Close friends, anyway. Got some friendly chocolates last year though.

You know, I ain't actually sure? Some guys do give 'em, if they're really bold. It's called reverse chocolates. But most guys wait until White Day, when you're supposed to give back something for anybody who gave you chocolates.

[He's definitely going to give Eridan some friendly chocolate for Valentine's though, because damn, it sounds like Eridan is feeling left out.]

oh right wwell at least you got that itd fuckin suck gettin none at all
i think mostly i dont get this cause alternia nevver had anythin similar so ivve nothin to compare it to
closest thing wwe had to any kinda earth holiday wwas 12th perigrees eve wwhich wwas like your earth christmas

[But far superior cause it's troll related obvz]

[...And in Japan Christmas is the super romantic date holiday.]

Huh. You must have something like the American Christmas or some shit, 'cause bein' without somebody on Christmas sucks more than Valentine's. I know they celebrate it different in other places though.

jegus keepin track a this is ridiculous
howw many fuckin holiday vvariations do you guys need

[punk_cute]

Both Christmas and Valentines were originally holidays from other places that got to Japan somehow. And holidays ain't so bad. If nothing else they mean a chance for a special treat or something and the big ones mean a day off from school.

oh i guess that makes sense
but alternia doesnt havve schools so thats just gone ovver my head

[punk_cute]

How do you learn the shit you need to be an adult then? 'Cause that's what school's for.

((ooc: Do you want to play out Kanji giving Eridan Valentine's chocolates? I was kind of too busy that week to do anything with the holiday but he definitely made some!))

(ooc: sure, I'd be up for it! Assuming just continue on from this thread or did you have something else in mind?)

Wwe just groww up, lusus teaches us most a wwhat wwe need to knoww.

There's not a lot a room for mistakes an' shit on alternia so you just learn howw the fuck things wwork an' get wwith the program.

If you're not able to pick shit up quick you're culled, end a' story.

((ooc: Sure! It'd be a bit of a timeskip, but no sense for starting a new thread for it))

Ouch. Sounds tough. I'm glad I got a second chance, 'cause I messed up bad for a while there.

An' I don't agree with that culling shit! Who does that to kids, huh? That's awful, and I'm sorry you had to deal with that over your head.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Kanj, I told you, different cultures. Just cause you think it's messed up or whatever doesn't mean it is. Human society doesn't set some kind a' universal standard for what is and isn't right.

[Damn right it's awful and his lack of success in his quadrants loomed over him like an inevitable death sentence, but he just can't stop defending troll culture. If he doesn't, who will?]

[punk_cute]

I guess, but killing kids, man. It's like...snuffing out potential! Kids screw up; that's a fact of life or whatever. If you're killing 'em for it instead of letting 'em learn from the shit they've messed up, who's to say you ain't just killed off the next great scientist or whatever? I guess I just can't see a way which killing off the future seems right to me.
