I think by an Earth calendar, today would be Father's Day.

To the other parents who are here... do you miss your children? Even if you wouldn't want them here.

I miss mine.

If there's a day to celebrate fathers does that mean there's a corresponding day to celebrate mothers?

[tigerpoet]

There is - it was last month. Traditionally in my country, it's the second Sunday of May.

[ragingnature]

Oh. [ She's kind of glad she missed it or she might have felt even more homesick than she already does. ]

I didn't know there were holidays like that.

[tigerpoet]

I think they're common in most countries now, but they're relatively recent...? Your world might not have them.

[ragingnature]

I suppose we don't. Then again I don't know of most of the holidays mortals celebrate.

[tigerpoet]

Do immortals have holidays?

[ragingnature]

We have yearly celebrations. I'm not sure if that's the same or different from mortal holidays. I've only experienced Friralia.

[tigerpoet]

The celebrations in Prismatica are different from the ones on Earth. I'm not an expert on them either.

[ragingnature]

I assumed that much as I can't remember deer shaped ornaments being put up anywhere back home.

[tigerpoet]

So you got stuck under those too... They're really troublesome.

[ragingnature]

It was certainly interesting. I'm already bad about getting into people's personal spaces though.

[tigerpoet]

I'm bad about it during Cordis, it's hard not to get cuddly then...

[ragingnature]

I try to avoid other people during Sanguis...

[tigerpoet]

Sanguis can be rough. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

[ragingnature]

It's fine.

It just sucks that I spend a little more than a week being unable to be around others without potentially making a mess of things.

[tigerpoet]

If it helps, everyone else here has the same problem? Just with different kinds of messes.

[ragingnature]

I feel like all the Sanguis I know have an easier time of it.

[ Maybe having a partner helps. Or maybe she just has too much bottled up rage. ]

[tigerpoet]

Do you spar at all?

[ragingnature]

I don't know how to fight. But that comes up a lot and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should learn.

[tigerpoet]

If you're concerned about hurting others during Sanguis, sparring is a good outlet for that aggression.

[ragingnature]

I see. I suppose I'll have to ask some of the people I know to teach me.

[tigerpoet]

Good luck. I hope it gives you some peace of mind.

[ragingnature]

Thanks. I hope so too.

My name is Nakajima Atsushi. It's nice to meet you.

[ragingnature]

I'm Persephone. Which I suppose is a little redundant with my username.

It's nice to meet you as well, Nakajima.

[ She's not aware of how Japanese names work. ]
