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. ]

Don't you mean "doctor"?

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

[ 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.

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.

Hmm, what about a special pokémon?

While I'm sure there are exceptions, long-term relationships aren't terribly common between any Pokémon I've met.

[Maybe she's just in the wrong egg group.]

It's also rather awkward to think about, given how I split my time between forms.

Oh, so they like to meet all the magikarp in the lake. Wow, that's pretty scandalous, depending on who you talk to.

[ A beat. ]

Sorry, I didn't think about that.

The mere fact that Union has a "Breeding Center" and no one objects to the idea on either the human or Pokémon side should have probably been your first clue.

...not that I've participated or anything. Again, awkward to think about.

I think it works differently between shifters. But yeah, wow, I didn't think about that. Talk about a bad way to get to know each other.

Or good, depending on who you talk to...

[ NOT SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE SHE SWEARS. ]
