I have a few queries for anyone who wants to read, since I've been a little absent lately and had a while to let these build up.

Firstly! For those of us from some facsimile of Earth, are you excited for whatever Lunatian equivalent there is for Valentine's Day? How do you plan on celebrating, if so? I'm not sure of what grandiose gesture I'm going to perform, but if anyone can play musical instruments, I'd like to enlist your help! Also, if you want to get your love fortune read, I do own Khan el-Khalili in Caihong, and do tarot reading.

Secondly, a discussion got me incredibly curious about the cultural spread here in Lunatia amongst the Moonblessed! Especially food-wise; I'm Egyptian, myself, and I think it would be fantastic if we could organise some sort of potluck or...I don't know! Some sort of culinary cultural exchange! If anyone's interested, I'd love to hear ideas and the like! You can thank user Jaguar for this idea; they gave me the inspiration and deserve due credit :)

If you're not interested in any of the following, which is fair, here is a funny chicken picture!

That chicken looks like something my mama would make.

Can't say I got too much special planned for Valentine's Day yet, but I'm always fixing for a potluck. I only got the chance to try a couple things the last time I was in Egypt. You ever had Southern food in the U.S.?

Your mama sounds like a very skilled and generally amazing woman! I wish I could construct a biscuit chicken, to be honest!!

!!!!!!!!! I HAVE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT SOUTHERN FOOD IN AMERICA. But never tried it! I was mostly in New York with a friend when I came to America, so I can't say I tried much more than steak and pizza...You bring the Southern food, I'll bring zalabiya and ta'ameya, and see if I can't get to making some mochi as well. We have to make this happen! I'm so excited about getting to try Southern food!

She's a creative type, I can definitely say that. When I was pint-sized, she would've called it a waste of food... understandable, since she came out of a pretty bad famine before she met my Pa. Now that she's got grandkids, though, she's actually gotten into those cooking shows where they make oddball things.

Well hell. I never got to try zalabiya. Sounds like I can't disappoint then. You ever heard of chicken-fried steak?

well i got lingerie for my boyfriend for starters
but i might like to know what else he'd enjoy

You can't go wrong with a chastity belt over the lingerie. Keep yourself pure until marriage, really up the sexual tension between you.

its sanguis i'll fucking die if i do that

I'm not certain I understand the significance of Valentine's Day. Would you explain?
However, I might enjoy a reading from you sometime.

Perhaps I will show you and Jotaro some meals from Wallachia, if you are open minded.

Although I can't say I'm up to date on the actual story of Saint Valentine, I know that the holiday's used to celebrate love and affection between people. I also know that people go on about how commercialised it is, but I think that you don't need to spend a lot of money to show your love, if you don't want to. And in a place like this...An occasion to celebrate love, no matter the nature of said love, is precious. That's what I think. And I'll gladly do a reading for you, Alucard! Do you want me to give you a map to the shop, so you can come down whenever you like?

I'd love to try Wallachian cuisine, too! And I'm sure that Jotaro would too; at the very least, he'd be touched by the thought, I know.

I see. I know of Saint Valentine, but I wasn't aware a holiday was made centered around him. It seems odd to be related to romance, but I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose.

That would be appreciated. What are your hours?

I cannot promise that I can make everything well, but I remember what my mother would enjoy. She would forget to eat sometimes while she was studying or working, so I often found myself attempting to make sure she'd eat.

[Zed's just going to...overlook that first paragraph.]

I don't think Beyondian cuisine is replicable in this world. And most dishes would probably be considered illegal here or deadly.

[Fair and valid, the love poetry is enough Valentine's spirit anyway, huh buddy?]

I

Illegal how? I'm concerned. So concerned. Do...People die from eating it? I have so many questions, Zed.

i hear just now, VALENTINE'S DAY.

what should do if woman?

The best part about Valentine's Day being Western is that both women and men can give gifts! There's no 'men can but women can't' or vice versa. You simply show your husband your love and appreciation however you like, and he can do the same!

I believe it's on the 14th of this month, but I'm not sure about Lunatia's traditions, so it'll be interesting to see how they're similar and different.

i play guitar
my dad is better obviously but i'm not bad at it i guess

why
do you want to serenade somebody or something

Well

Maybe you shouldn't, much as I appreciate the offer.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe subjecting anyone to playing music while I attempt to have a nice candlelit dinner with Leone would be painful for them...I know most people aren't comfortable with the affection of others.

But that was my intention, yes. ...Can I still listen to you play, one day? I'd really like that, as long as it was in a less awkward situation.

I don't know what holiday you're talking about, but, I do know how to cook. I can only make simple things, but I wouldn't mind bringing some.

That's alright! Not everyone is from the same time and place as I am, which is why I tried to include a few things. So no one felt too excluded!

And I'd love to have you join us on the potluck adventure, if you're willing! It's more about sharing our homes with each other through the universal language of food, than some sort of fancy competition. Do you mind me asking where you come from? I might know of the place, if you're from Earth! It's alright if that's too much, though; it's a matter of simple curiosity, not a necessity, and you're welcome to join in either way!

Do you need an appointment for the fortune telling thing?
Uh not for love advice or whatever. Just fortune telling in general
Somebody recommended you.

Oh uh for food, I can bring something, I guess?

[ Is there any food that's even unique to Lucis? They're kind of a melting pot, culture-wise. Diner food, maybe? Would he even want to represent his country with that stuff though?? He'll have to ask Ignis. ]

[It takes a second or three for Avdol to get past the fact that someone actually recommended his services. Not that he thinks he's poor at it or anything, or he wouldn't do it for money! But...Still. Someone here liked his work enough to pass it on...

More and more, he loves this place.]

Not really. You're welcome to come down to the shop whenever, and if I'm with a customer already, the readings typically don't take too long anyway, so waiting won't take up more than fifteen minutes of your day. And you could always peruse the bakeries nearby if you don't want to wait in-shop!

I could do it over this post too, but I find that it doesn't allow for as much connection, so...I prefer in person, if that's not an inconvenience to you. Do you want a map to find me?

And as for the food! If you can't think of anything that represents your homeland...Your favourite meal will do fine, I think. People bond over food, and sharing it. I think that's a wonderful thing.

I know what Valentine's Day is and I have no intentions of celebrating it. That being said, I play both the piano and the flute.

That's quite alright! I know it's hit or miss with people who do know of it, and I can only imagine how full-on it'll be here, so wanting to miss it is understandable.

...I don't suppose that you'd be willing to play for a Valentine's dinner, though, would you? For due payment of course! You can name the price, since different people have different thresholds for the open affection of others.

(And if that's not something you're up for, that's alright too. I hope I can hear you play one day, all the same!)

[Rin already has plans for Valentines Day, and he doesn't really think he needs his fortune read re: Kohaku considering they managed to find each other through two worlds.]

man arent potlucks great?

im actually planning on opening a teppanyaki place soon! but id totally be up for bringing some of my menu items to a potluck before then

They're wonderful! I'm so excited to share my culture with everyone else, and see what a spread we have here in turn...

I'm also really excited for your future teppanyaki place! It feels like forever since I've had actual Japanese food, especially teppanyaki; I'll have to see how your okonomiyaki is, hm? And you're welcome to use it as a testing ground for your menu, of course. I'm hoping that this'll also encourage business food-wise, or at least allow for us all to be able to trade in the future too.

I want a reading! I'm single but it sounds fun anyway.

As far as the potluck goes, I can make something if you want. [He's not a bad cook at all, but the food he ate as a child on Mt. Colubo wasn't very exciting. It was good, hearty fare, but pretty average in his mind when it comes down to it.] I've got a lot of roasted and grilled fish and meat recipes from my childhood home, but the stuff I learned sailing is way more interesting. How do you handle spicy?

And I really like the chicken! Did you make it?

Alright! Come on down to my shop at your leisure (though not on Sanguis or Iris-afflicted days, I'm afraid) and I'll read as you like! I'll keep an eye out for you after this week, I suppose...And I can give you a map, if you'd like! Just let me know :)

You're definitely welcome to come along to the potluck, too! Especially if it's spicy. I love spice! Love love love it! I...Can't speak for anyone else, but that's my personal opinion, anyway!! I hope you like legumes and pulses because I'm going to repay your food in kind!!!!!

...I didn't make the chicken though :( Sorry to be a let down! It looks delicious and lovely though! I bet the original artist is very talented!
