[There's a lot going on Jeff could talk about. Things he wants to talk about, like, "why are we keeping a dangerous murderer in the school instead of sending him to a high-security federal prison?" or maybe something more personal like, "what does it mean to be an adult now?" But he doesn't have any business questioning the security team's decisions, especially after some of the other people who have been allowed to roam free in the school, and the second one is probably not what an adult would ask anyway.

So what other current events could make for good conversation to keep his mind off those things...?]

So I guess it's Valentine's Day in a few days. I hope those weird flying robots don't show up again this year. But they have every other year. Just be careful if you don't want to end up in an embarrassing situation!

A lot of people get pretty bitter around this time of year, I've noticed. It's not so bad not to have a Valentine, right? It's a nice day targeted at making money off couples, sure, but there's no reason not to go have fun with single friends or just eat chocolates or watch sappy movies instead, right?

People really undervalue friendships at times like these, but those are important. Maybe even more important than romance. Just a thing to think about, I guess.

[Jeff. Jeff Jeff Jeff. Ness was worried about you, Bro.]

There's nothing wrong with any of that. Friendship is pretty key.

[AND SO...]

Are you working on anything right now?

[psinothing]

Yeah! And we should know better than anyone!

Do you mean now now or recently in general now?

[pkrockin]

Yeah I think we're experts, probably.

Uhh... Now now. Both. Mostly now now. But I want to know if you're working on anything cool in general too.

[Lash burst into Jeff's door, nearly knocking the thing over.]

Hey! Rise and shine!

[It's 5PM]

[psinothing]

[JUMPY JEFF NEARLY FALLS OUT OF HIS CHAIR.]

Rise and...? What time zone is your watch set to?!

[thewunderkind]

Oh you're up! I dunno I can never tell when how you sometimes work at night.

Anyway, I have something for you...

[She runs back to the door, and pulls in a large present box that looks absolutely heavy, because its got a wheels on the bottom. Once she is into the room, she moves it on the floor and groans as she slowly moves it off of the platform.]

*Gasp* Okay phew. [She wipes some of the sweat away.] Geeze why is it so heavy. Anyway...

TADA!

[raced_god]

Happy birthday.

[ALSO AUDIO.]

[psinothing]

[YOU'RE A DAY LATE FALCON but that is still a lot better than some fathers who would be so late it would be more like never. So.]

Haha, thanks.

[raced_god]

[shhhhh there were murders and stuff]

Doing anything for it?

[monotreme_101]

I'm staying waaaaaaaay the heck away from Campus on that day. I don't need to spend the day makin' an ass of myself again like the last three years.

[psinothing]

That's probably for the best. Then again, I think by now people would understand if you did act a little weird.

[monotreme_101]

Thing is I'd actually like to spend it with my Girlfriend for once. This will be like.. the first one we actually get to hang out on and I'm not running around after someone else making up terrible love poems or fighting off 'rivals'.

[throughthefireandflames]

Yeah I think that's exactly what I'll be doing. Watching movies and stuff like that.

[psinothing]

With ice cream?

[GIRLS DO THAT, RIGHT.]

[throughthefireandflames]

Nah I don't like the sweet stuff. Probably a steak or two.

[SORRY BRO YOU GUESSED THAT WRONG.]

[icequeen_aran]

[Jeeeefffffff mommy worries about you also you are totally getting a cake and presents and she's going to spoil you and she totally didn't forget.]

People undervalue a lot of things.

[psinothing]

[EVERYONE FORGOT AND HE WAS IN SUCH A STATE OF INNER TURMOIL YOU HAVE NO IDEA.]

I guess sometimes it's hard to remember not to take some things for granted.

[cannonspike]

Weird flying robots... ?

I think you definitely have a point. I've had great Valentine's days with friends. [or co-workers, same diff.] It's probably better that way, as far as I'm concerned.

[psinothing]

Every year I've been here, Valentine's Day has involved little robots that look like cupid that shoot people to make them fall in love. It only lasts the day as far as I know, but a lot can happen in just one day. I'd be careful.

[baad_romance]

Celebrating Valentines' real simple and stuff isn't all that bad.

But hell if any more robots are gonna be flying around or I might flip my shit.

[psinothing]

Maybe it'll be a quiet day this year...

[pitticus]

I agree! Friends are very important to have! And Valentines Day sounds like a really good day to appreciate them too, especially since I don't have my very own Valentine someone.

Ugh, cupid robots... Don't eve reMIND me!

[psinothing]

Of course, showing anyone you appreciate them shouldn't be limited just to a few holidays out of the year. I'm pretty sure it's all a big scheme to get money for cards and chocolate.

I'm reminding you! Be careful!

[miracleprayer]

[Having Lucas leave so close to the holiday, no doubt it was difficult for Jeff. That's why Paula decided to add a few extra goodies to Jeff's Valentine's Day gift this year.]

To me, Valentine's Day always meant a day to be together. A day to value your relationships with people, whether it be romance, friendship, or family. That's why I always try to make or buy gifts for everyone who's special to me. To show them that I appreciate them and that I'm glad I know them. Though I guess some people would disagree with my definition of the holiday.

Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day, Jeff?

[psinothing]

[Paula, you're the bestest.]

I think it's a good definition. I mean, I guess it's not the widely commercialized definition and I have no idea if it's even the original one, but it's a good one to have anyway.

I don't really have anything planned. You've probably got something planned with Ness, huh?
