[It's that time again--as in time for Botan to make a broadcast from the kitchen. There's an abundance of chocolate around her workspace and a flurry of activity from Pokemon behind her, but she looks serene as always.]

Botan here! Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I'm opening up special request orders for anyone that might want a particular kind of chocolate for their loved ones!

[She motions to the chocolate itself, the shapes are...]

I've got all types, and I have new molds to work with, so any kind of shape you can think of I'll probably have. Just ask me!

[A pause.]

I won't make anything lewd for public sale, though. There are children here, have some decency.

Why chocolate?

[ What's so special about chocolate? Wouldn't money work better? ]

[Oh, another text.]

Tradition, nearly everybody likes it, sweetness?

I got asked if I could prepare meat for a customer, so I'm not limited to chocolate.

[ She'd use video, but she doubts anyone can read sign language. ]

Chocolate is nice, but money is better. That way, the person can buy anything they want.

[It's totally ambiguous what languages Botan even knows too, at most she'd probably only know Japanese sign language.]

Oh, by a practical standpoint of course it's better. It's not my decision who gives what for any holiday in particular, though, I'm just one of the options.

Would this be your first Valentine's here?

[ Who knows what kinda sign language they use in Remnant. ]

What gave it away? :)

What other ridiculous things do people do for this day?

[ Not giving money instead of chocolate is ridiculous... ]

[Ah, a wild skeptic appears. She knows these types, what's the use of the holiday, it's silly, etcetera.

Not that Botan really is anything but someone who loves the idea of romance and isn't interested in it herself. It sounds weird for her to be talking about it at all when that comes up.]

You're not the first, and won't be the last most likely.(=｀ω´=)

As for what else people do, it's usually a day to spend with your loved one, do something romantic and such. If someone is single, they can either mope about it, which isn't productive, or spend it having fun with people they care for.

Or waiting the next day for discounted bundles of chocolate I suppose.

It just sounds like a Tuesday when you say it like that.

But discount chocolates? If you were offering that, there would be way more interest.

Most people don't seem to have the time to set aside for romantic excursions, so I think holidays like this are still necessary.

[THAT'S SOME BIG TALK FOR SOMEONE THAT LITERALLY JUST LEARNED WHAT THE HOLIDAY IS, NEO.]

I'm content with how things are right now.

[ SHE HAS TO TALK BIG BECAUSE SHE'S SMALL! Plus there are no lies in what she said! ]

How are they gonna make time on this particular day if they can't even do it on the regular days?

Well, let's look at it like--sure you have time in the evening after work and such to go out to dinner or something, but the way I see it is being given a present like flowers or candy shows that you're being thought of. It's always nice to receive presents and to know your loved one is thinking of you.

That's just my take on it, though, I've never pursued a relationship myself.
