Hellooooooo Union!

[ It's a bit garbled, but Excellen appears on the feed. On her head is a Luvdisc-shaped pillbox hat, which she may or may not have just procured. She grins at her (hopefully) rapt audience before continuing. ]

So no one told me that you had such a cute holiday coming up! We don't have anything like Proposal Day in Caldera, I'm kind of jealous. I'm looking forward to celebrating with everybody.

Now, I know that we're rebuilding here, but I think this is just what the dentist ordered as far as a pick-me-up is concerned. And I wanted to let you know that your big sis Excellen's got your back! I just happen to be something of a love expert, you know, and I would be more than happy to give advice of the romantic kind. Or ways to spice up your love life, if you know what I mean. Don't hesitate to ask, I'll be sure to teach you everything you need to know~

[ She gives the camera a look. Oh Savior. ]

I'm also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to gift ideas, because we all know that that's important for the holiday!

[ Excellen, you literally learned about this yesterday, you're not an expert. ]

Remember, ladies and gentlemen, that special someone deserves only the very best! Besides, getting them a gift'll help those shop owners hit by that nasty dragon and its trainer. It's a win/win situation!

So I hope everybody has a romantic weekend, and remember, don't do anything I wouldn't do~

[ She winks playfully. Excellen out. ]

That's a pretty short list, isn't it?

[Are you really gonna tease someone like Excellen when you're bed-ridden? Yes. Apparently so.]

[Video]

[platinumlucifer]

You have no idea.

Unless you wanna find out what's on my short list. Usually it's a trade secret, but for you Hayato, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything.

[expertonshutters]

You know, for all that I'm a nosy busybody with an eye for the truth, I think this is one mystery I'll keep my nose out of.

[Look there are some things not even HE asks questions about.]

[Video]

[platinumlucifer]

[ You're no fun, Hayato? ]

Really? It'd give you something to do while you're stuck in bed.

[ Don't think she doesn't see you there, friend. She'll ask for the nitty-gritty later, but she's not done teasing yet. ]

[ideologic]

All right, 'Big Sis.' What sort of advice do you have for a guy who just blew into town and is helping with the clean up?

Video

[platinumlucifer]

[ Well hello, cutie. ]

I guess that depends on what you're into. You've gotta tell your big sis a little bit more about your preferences before she can give you a good itinerary.

[ideologic]

[Cute? Oh, he tries.

Don't encourage it.

Kon took a moment to think about her question before coming up with a responce for her.]

Well, Big Sis should know that I like girls who have a brain and a lot of energy-- especially if they're fun to be around.

Video

[platinumlucifer]

Girls with a lot of energy huh? Hmmm, I might know a couple girls like that? You into blonds?

[ She's sadly unavailable, but that doesn't mean she can't have a bit of non-romantic fun. Excellen winks. ]

[sleepingvalkyrie]

..Proposal...day?

[There's a distinct note of 'wat' in her voice]

[platinumlucifer]

Yep! It's some Union holiday about getting hitched! Or something!

[sleepingvalkyrie]

Why would that need celebration? Is that not the purpose of a wedding?

[platinumlucifer]

Yeah, but I guess Union's really into people having kids, so they need a holiday to help that along.

[ Bunch of prudes, these Unionites. ]

[It's entirely likely that she's answering this from one room over, or maybe even the same room because that's just how she goes. Whatever the case may be, she's crashed out on the couch with her feet dangling over the edge when she sees this.]

... What the hell's a proposal day?

[It sounds dumb.]

[Video]

[platinumlucifer]

[ Excellen looks at Kyosuke, who is standing somewhat nearby. ]

Did you hear that, Kyosuke? Our little Ryuki's growing up so fast! [ Sniff. ] I'm so proud...

[Video]

[guitar_case_vagabond]

Hey. I'm right here, y'know.

[Quit talking about her like she's not hearing everything you say.]

[Video]

[platinumlucifer]

[ Totally ignoring that comment. ]

Next thing you know, she'll be bringing some lucky guy or girl home for big sis and big bro to meet.

[soulofmagus]

[ Let it not be said that a good mood can't be infectious. While Sophia has never heard of this particular holiday, at least someone out there is encouraging folks to get back into the swing of things. ]

What holidays do you have, in Caldera?

[platinumlucifer]

[ Oh, hello, you're new. Not hard on the eyes either. Time to lay on that famous Excellen charm. ]

Let's see. We have the Day of Fire, where you run around and throw colored powder at each other and eat lots of food. The solstices where we throw fireworks and eat lots of food. Birthdays, you light things on fire and eat lots of food.

Mostly we just like holidays where we get to eat, drink and either throw things, light them on fire or make them explode. Sometimes the men run around without shirts too.

[soulofmagus]

[ And she really CAN be charming, when she's not overdoing it. In the very least, Sophia looks very amused, rather than about to edge away and run for the hills. ]

[a smile] You know, I was sensing a theme there. But wouldn't throwing fireworks be rather dangerous?

[paint bombs would probably take forever to clean up, whether you were shirtless or otherwise, but fireworks had the potential for harm]

[smitesevil]

So what is it you wouldn't do?

[ Because Sanger knows Excellen. The list is probably pretty small. ]

video

[platinumlucifer]

Mmm, I think you can use your imagination and figure it out.

video

[smitesevil]

I'm afraid I can't. What you would do is already far beyond my ken.

[ So. Y'know. ]

[ofpromisedvictory]

Don't you mean "doctor"?

[Not that she knows why a doctor would be ordering a holiday, but one thing at a time here.]

[platinumlucifer]

[ Yeah probably. She seems to gloss right over the correction. ]

Saber! Do you have somebody special in mind? You'll bring them by the apartment, right? I've gotta give my seal of approval first, you know.

[ofpromisedvictory]

I don't even know what you're talking about, exactly. "Someone special" to a Pokémon usually means a Trainer, and I'm not interested in that kind of arrangement.
