Valentine's Day is coming up! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

For those of you who don't know, that's a holiday for lovers where you exchange gifts and do something special together. It happens every year on February 14th!

Anyway, since it's coming up, that got me thinking, what'd be your ideal date? Well. What's your ideal date out of what we got available? Or I guess what would make for a good date?

No, why settle?!

Let's go with a G R E A T date. So? What is it? Hmmmmmmm? °₊·ˈ∗♡(ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)♡∗ˈ‧₊°

[A slight delay before:]

I'm asking for a friend.

That's really specific, but I don't think there are ancient aliens around here. Or many sofas. 〈(゜。゜)

[nulliverse]

its criminal not to have any forms of media here
if were supposedly part of a program ourselves the least they could do is offer us some of our own to watch
although i have to admit thatd make piss poor entertainment

you asked for my ideal date
it happens to be very specific in nature
but i did gather that you were looking more for ideas here

i just havent any

[nextlineis]

Thanks anyway, I guess.

[nulliverse]

i know, im no help at all
ive been asleep or something practically since i got here
im still sussing the place out myself

is that a regular thing
earth holidays being celebrated here?
the last place i lived had its own

[nextlineis]

I don't know.

I think there's a lot of people around who are from Earth or have been around people from Earth, so they're probably more likely to celebrate them than other holidays. I don't know if anybody else is celebrating Valentine's Day, although THEY SHOULD. （*’∀’人）♥

[nulliverse]

i suppose theres not much likelihood of there being adrift in space holidays is there
so it makes sense in its own way

unfortunately my valentine was left behind in that last place i mentioned
so ill have to abstain this year
unless someone gets their hands on a good deal of chocolate
then ill be more than willing to eat my feelings in honour of the day

[nextlineis]

That's too bad on every front. You're probably going to have to settle for paste.

[nulliverse]

paste
good lord
theyre not even trying

but alright lets focus on you for now
a brilliant date on a spaceship
a challenge is much more fun than a sob story isnt it

actually the answers obvious with what you just said
get your hands on some real food and any dinner will be brilliant
or tell your "friend" to do so rather

[nextlineis]

No, they're really not! I keep telling my captain the food here's not even close to okay, but she'll make you eat it anyway. Force feed it if she's really gotta. (ｼ;ﾟДﾟ)ｼ

You know of any good places to eat on the station then?

[nulliverse]

please tell me thats hyperbole
im all for a good moment of high drama
but actual force feeding is a bit much to take in right now

i havent been here long enough to know the good from the bad sadly
well i have but
thats a long story
heres an idea though

have your friend very casually ask the date in question what sort of food they miss most while theyre on the ship
offhand as though its just everyday conversation
then find a spot on the station that serves that food and take the date there
itll look very thoughtful and sweet that you
i mean that they remembered such a small detail

[nextlineis]

I mean, we've wrestled over it before and she always wins. She's a lot stronger than she looks.

Hey, you know, I think that might actually work. That's a really good idea!

[nulliverse]

well then
i hope my captain isnt quite so violent
or that weve not got the same captain
id be crap in a wrestling match

i hope it does
for your friends sake
remembering the little things means a lot more than youd think
anyone can remember an anniversary or a birthday
but what program you watched on the telly the first time you went round to theirs?
thats whatll get them right in the heart

[Listen to her. And she used to swear she wasn't a romantic, up and down and to anyone who would listen.]

[nextlineis]

I think she only wrestles with me, so you're probably safe even if we've got the same captain. I wouldn't worry about it anyway!

I wouldn't think stuff like that would be such a big deal, but I guess it is to some people... I guess my friend will have to think about things like that more often.

[nulliverse]

i wouldnt have thought so either
but my boyfriend was quite a sweet and thoughtful bloke and he taught me a lot

well he IS
theres no need for past tense
were only a universe or twenty apart
and hes going to find me again

[Spiralling rapidly off-topic here.]

anyway thats the most important thing ive learned about romance
big gestures arent as important as little details
proving that you listen and care what they have to say
that you really know them

[nextlineis]

I wouldn't worry about your boyfriend. Atroma seems to like bringing more than one person from a lot of different places, so maybe he'll turn up eventually if you're patient.

[nulliverse]

thank you anonymous thoughtful friend
that is rather comforting in its own way
much as i wouldnt want to trap him here simply for my own sake
well i cant say that i wouldnt be happier if he were here

[nextlineis]

I know what you mean. I've got a lot of people from home here and there are some more that I wish could be here, but I've got mixed feelings about it.

[nulliverse]

some people simply arent meant to be cooped up like this
i think im one of them, ive never felt so claustrophobic
but im already here so thats that
hed be even worse, so i can wait until im home to see him again
