[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.

[ Valentine's Day? Chocolate for their loved ones? Rosa's interested, but mostly because she hasn't the faintest idea as to what she's going on about. ]

Excuse me, may I inquire as to the purpose of this Valentine's Day?

video;

[styxiedust]

Absolutely! Valentine's Day is a name given to February 14th, traditionally observed as a feast day for St. Valentine--however, mainstream public specifically devotes this date to love and expression of it. Over where I'm from, people in relationships would give each other chocolate or other kinds of gifts, in other countries this is extended to everybody in a given person's social circle.

[So the purpose is...love. Just love.]

[captainash]

...I'm not sure I really want to know, but is that a preemptive warning, or did someone seriously ask for sexy chocolates before?

[video]

[styxiedust]

Let's just say I've been here for a while and I have a good idea of how certain people like to think, especially if it's for "ironic" purposes.

[Plus Yusuke would totally try to convince her to make dick chocolate. There's always a Yusuke somewhere.]

[It... takes a moment for that last note to click, but when it does, Elsa can't hide how flustered she is when she responds.]

L-Lewd? Others really want.... things such as that for this occasion?

[video]

[styxiedust]

...[Oh, Elsa. She forgets how sheltered you are sometimes.]

O...ccasionally I get orders like that as a joke. It's just people being immature is all.

[Or like...with very strange and specific fetishes but she is not going to be the one that discusses fetishes with Disney royalty.]

Do you work with meat?

[ She'll look back at this in a few minutes and realize her wording could've been better. ]

[styxiedust]

That depends on what you're thinking of with your slightly ominous text.

[thedifferencebetween]

So does that mean the lewd stuff's only available privately?

Ha, nah, couldn't resist!

So all kinds of shapes, huh?

Video

[styxiedust]

Privates in private, that's my take.

[Humans are weird.]

I've just accepted an assignment about making something shotgun-shaped, so yes, all kinds!

[Video]

[agent3]

[Oh. Valentine's Day...yeah, that's a thing, isn't it?]

Never gave people chocolates before. 'S there ones for Pokemon?

[Video]

[styxiedust]

Definitely! We've got special treats made specifically for Pokemon, sometimes by Pokemon but usually by me.

[It's iffy on if Pokemon can eat chocolate as in chocolate, but there's substitutes made for them anyway. And who can say no to a cute little kid asking?]

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

[Gasp!!]

Valentines day! I remember that from when I first got here...!

[video]

[styxiedust]

Oh? Then it will be your second one here, Rakka-chan? I hope you've got plenty of friends to make treats for, because I'm going to be teaching you how to do it.

[shiro2hero]

Valentine's day...? Really?

You're sure that's what time it is?

anyway for real this time

[styxiedust]

Well, it's not today, but by my count it's the fourth today--so a little over a week. There's nothing wrong with being prepared when you run a business.

[Usually someone would qualify that with an "is there?"

Botan is not one of those people.]

If you don't have anybody to give gifts to, you're always free to buy for yourself. There's no shame in it.

[schachmeister]

I hope you don't mind me asking but... what is Valentine's day?

[Guess who comes from a world without catholic saints, and also, probably, joy and happiness.]

Video;

[styxiedust]

The feast day of St. Valentine is the strictest definition! However, traditions over the centuries turned it into a holiday specifically set aside to celebrate love--platonic or otherwise. People usually give each other heart-shaped something or others and candy, so that's where I come in!

[She's super excited to talk about days of romance and love.]

[radfield]

Think you might be able to squeeze in a few truffles? Not asking for much, maybe four.

text.

[styxiedust]

Sure, no problem!

[Huh, another person that's contacting her via text, wonder if they're related to the previous one.]

Any particular preference for what type of chocolate used?

[Text]

[shortandsweet]

Why chocolate?

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

[Text]

[styxiedust]

[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.

video;

[gainedlove]

An' they're all really really super yummy! I tried 'em all, I can promise it!

[HELPING!!]

video;

[styxiedust]

Only because I have equally sweet and reliable testers to make sure that they're perfect, of course!

[LOOK AT THIS CUTE LIL BUGGER.]

[sunshineprincess]

I don't think I want to know what you mean by lewd...

[ANYWAYS. CHOCOLATE YOU SAY?

Also, Anna is totally not in the same place as Elsa right now. Not within hearing distance at least. So shhhhh]

Hey! I've got a question actually. Do you have snowflake and flower molds?

Video;

[styxiedust]

You don't.

[Not ever ever ever.]

Ah, but of course I do. I know how much Elsa loves chocolate, so I expect you'll be wanting to prepare a nice surprise for her, hmm?

[And Elsa is in turn preparing one for Anna. God these sisters are so adorable.]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Chocolates. There might be a few people he knows who would like that.]

Do you do deliveries?

Video;

[styxiedust]

Of course! My fliers are prepared to deliver anywhere any time.

[As in the large Honchkrow off to the side fussing with its feathers and the Charizard blowing fire into a stove in the background.]

[ceos]

I bet people think they're so funny when they ask for ones shaped like... that. You'd think they'd have better things to do.

[Well, excluding the people who are sincere about ordering chocolate shaped like genitals.]

How much can we order from you in one batch?

video;

[styxiedust]

Let's see...boxed chocolates and truffles are generally 12 ounces and are measured by that. Single chocolate hearts, roses, and so on are to scale, I don't believe I've sold them in multiples before, but there's a first time for everything? Cake pops and small baked goods like tarts come in an eight pack.

[Buying in bulk, who does that though.]

I'm not going to stop you from buying as much as you want, it just might take some doing to get it wrapped up for delivery.

[fuelthefire]

[Heeeey, Botan, long time no talk! There is a very interested party here, one visible eye squinting thoughtfully at the device.]

What about cupcakes?

[Chocolates are good and all but cupcakes are superior.]

video;

[styxiedust]

[Heyyyy, good old Krieg! She'd recognize that unsettling stare anywhere.]

I can do cupcakes as well! Let me show you--[and she goes off screen for a moment to bring back a couple of cute little cupcakes that were probably on display or something.] Of course they don't have to be Pokemon related, I just find people here tend to like seeing their favorite Pokemon on these.
