[Camera on means Shaun is on, all easygoing smiles and comfortable confidence. This is the usual thing, except this time? No zombies. No monsters. No weapons in hand. It's sort of a very different vlog post for him.

But it can't be mayhem and bloodshed all the time. I mean, usually it can, but here he is anyway.]

So. Valentine's Day is a thing back where I'm from too, but you know... little different. Less moonlit strolls on the beach or fancy restaurants and more staying home not getting eaten by zombies together. Not-dying-and-un-dying is basically the most romantic thing anyone can do.

What's romance look like for everyone else? Let's hear it. Anyone have a particularly romantic V-Day? I know you're not supposed to kiss and tell, but anyone want to kiss and tell?

[He's curious, after all. However.]

Wait, that wasn't actually my point. My point is, the best part about Valentine's Day in any world is the day after Valentine's Day because there is so much chocolate heart bullshit on sale. Discount sugar rush for everyone! RIP to out collective blood glucose levels.

[Here he holds up a bag that is basically stuffed full with various boxes of candy, chocolate roses, something that has a teddy bear attached to it.]

Given my assigned profession as restaurant critic, I feel like it is my solemn vocational duty to remind folks of this fact.

[And here he is, performing that valuable service.]

[This is, without a doubt, the most important question he will ever ask on this network (that's open public anyway) and his tone says as much.

Deadly serious:] What about other candy?

[irwins]

If it's Valentine's Day themed, yeah. Which given the fact that every brand jumps on the marketing bandwagon, you can find some red and pink version of just about anything.

[It's a wonderland of sugar, Lio.]

Looking for something in particular?

[burnishingmad]

I think I'll find whatever I'm looking for.

[Basically what you're saying, Shaun, is because it's on sale, they're trying to get rid of it. Which means no one will miss it if it just disappears.]

Going to your original question, I'm sure Promepolis had some big extravagant Valentine's ...thing each year.

[irwins]

[That's a different sort of discount!! GASP!]

Most big cities do, especially if they're the type to consider themselves romance centers. Like Paris and New York and stuff.

Never heard of Promepolis. [Different worlds and all.]

[burnishingmad]

[It's the perfect discount! Everyone wins!]

I remember reading about those cities back home. I think they're still around. Promepolis is... a considerably younger city. Less than thirty years old.

[irwins]

[Crimes!! ...not that Shaun actually cares. He operates in that flexible live how you have to in order to survive space that seems to come with living in a post-apocalyptic world.]

You think New York is still around?

[Yeah this guy's world is different.] So, something happen where you're from? Cities don't usually just spring up brand new, at least not these days, at least not where I'm from. You guys still discovering new territory or something?

[burnishingmad]

[Boy he doesn't wanna go too deep into this. He wasn't even alive for it at the time.]

The Great World Blaze happened and destroyed large chunks of the world. Most of what I know is desert, but Promepolis was built and is a thriving metropolis now.

[irwins]

Well. Don't know what that is but it sounds awful. Most of my world got effectively destroyed like twenty five years ago too though so hey. Twinsies.

[Kind of twinsies. Less fire more undead hordes in his case but hey. ToMAYto. ToMAHto.]
