Some of you were not around to hear the last mysterious message we assume came from our captors. In it, the words 'family' and 'religion' were emphasized. That was family - next could be religion.

The next full moon is on the twenty-second.

On the other hand, there is also a fondness for tying events into holidays here. And Valentine's Day is coming up. ...I'm getting my chocolate out early.

[Action]

[The following people are getting obligation chocolate - that is to say, chocolate Issei bought at varying degrees of niceness. None of it's bad chocolate, though.

Diarmuid, Saber, Hakuno, Waver, Kiritsugu, Assassin, Lancer, Extra Assassin, Neah, Allen, Tatsuma, Ingrid, John, Edgeworth, Atsuro and Devola will find Issei at their doorstep with a wrapped box of chocolate for each of them.

Shirou and Vriska, on the other hand, are getting A Lot of chocolate, including some Issei made himself. Issei will also show up at their doorsteps with wrapped boxes.]

[OOC: Previous editions of this post may have indicated that the next full moon was on the seventh due to a misunderstanding.]

So we can expect shrines and church services to increase next month?

[unknownrival]

That would be the logical guess based on the message.

Good afternoon. Happy Valentine's Day.

[He holds out the box.]

Thank you, Mr. Ryudo. I'll need to consider which sort of tea would best complement each form of chocolate.

[Text]

[unknownrival]

You are most welcome. Please enjoy.

[Meanwhile, in Trying To Determine Where The Line Between Family And Religion Is-ville...]

Oh, Issei. What can I help you with?

[unknownrival]

Happy Valentine's Day. I bought you chocolate.

[Smile. Hold out box.]

[want_a_vacation]

That soon? Jeeze.

[unknownrival]

That soon, I'm afraid. I can't do more than prepare.

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska, however, seems to be missing. At least, until Issei gets back to his hotel room and hears her cursing behind the door]

[unknownrival]

[That's weird. Where is she if she's not in her room? Oh well, he'd better go back to his room to drop off all her chocolate until he can find her.

He opens his door and steps in.]

Religion, huh...Well, the family event was rather interesting but how are they going to pull this one off? With many people having different religious backgrounds, it'll be tricky.

Hard to believe it's close to Valentine's . I should give out my chocolates early too.

[unknownrival]

I don't really know. I suppose it could just be like the gambling one.

[John is cheerful as ever when he opens the door. The event was weird, but didn't really bother him that much. And his brain hasn't quite caught up with the implications of what a valentine themed event might entail.]

Hey, Issei! What's up?

[Action]

[unknownrival]

Not much. I just have a few deliveries to make today.

[Like one box of chocolate being presented.]

[Voice]

[fourteenthscion]

... Thank you for the chocolate, Issei.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I'm glad to hear you like it.

[Kanda's out. Or not answering the door, which is why Allen's there.]

Hi, Issei.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

Hi.

[Box of chocolate: held out.]

Happy Valentine's Day.

[thanklesswork]

The heck is Valentine's Day?

[unknownrival]

A day to celebrate love.

[Now this is unexpected.]

Well, can I help you with something, Ryudo-dono?

[unknownrival]

Not exactly.

[Present: box of chocolate.]

For you.

[emptysword]

...Its kinda early for Valentine's don't you think?

[Yeah he's just. Wow that's a lot of chocolate...]

[action]

[unknownrival]

I really did not want to have the Shadows alter my mindset when I was supposed to give these to you.

Valentine's Day? Does t)(at )(ave somet)(ing to do wit)( t)(at c)(urc)( stuff?

[unknownrival]

Ah, yes and no. Valentine's Day originated as a religious holiday and is slightly more secular now.

It's a day for lovers.

[ Yay obligation chocolate. Is it alright for her to start eating her's in front of him or is that too soon? ]

[unknownrival]

[Go right ahead. Issei's happy she likes it.]
