[Why hello yes that is an Alia wearing a face-eating pair of heart-shaped shutter shades and a very glittery pink feather boa. She grins into the video feed.]

Greetings, Haven!

[The feed pans out to take in Knock Out as well, red paintjob shinning red even more than usual for the occasion. He has some v-cards on his hand and a mischievous grin on his face. Alia waves.]

Valentine's Day is coming up, and for all the people who will be missing the festivities this year, Knock Out and I have scienced [shut up that is a verb now] a perfect solution for all your romance needs! We have perfected a one hundred and twenty percent accurate matchmaking algorithm, perfect for bringing some interest and excitement into your love life!

Now, if you're not up on your Earth cultural traditions, don't sweat! We have you covered!

[Knock Out nods and then chimes in.] Now, what’s that entire Valentine’s nonsense about, you might wonder? Valentine’s a human mating festivity that mixes different courting techniques. One of the most common ones is the exchange of little notes with romantics statements.

[Knock Out clears his throat and starts to read some of the cards. To help everybody to get into the spirit of valentine day, Alia and Knock Out left one v-card in front of everyone's room door. In fact, just to get into the real spirit of the holiday, all the v-cards conveniently sport the forged signatures of ~~random people around Haven~~ the best match according to that very scientific matchmaking algorithm. Feel free to find yours and thank them.]

Enjoy all that love in the air! 'Cause if you can't get laid on Valentine's Day, the other three hundred and sixty four days aren't looking too good either.

Don't you two have something better to do with your time?

[Yeah, she so is not into romance]

But love and peace~!

It's serious business.

I do not think there is anything serious about those cards that Knock Out was reading.

Being able to laugh at yourself is also serious.

[And she fails utterly at keeping a straight face, yup.]

Those cards were quite insulting.

[Rose has no probably keeping a straight face. Mainly because there are very few things that amuse her. >.>]

That's it. That's the joke.

Insults are a joke? Where I am from, that is how brawls and wars start.

Where I'm from, sometimes a brawl is an afternoon's entertainment.

People view sever injuries and death as entertainment in your world?

No.. apparently we just don't go as hardcore as your people do.

What, and not celebrate this important day?

[To be honest, neither is Knock Out. This is about making fun of people mostly.]

It hardly seems important.

[She wouldn't find that surprising at all about him.]

All is a matter of perception.

What days you deem important?

I do not find many festival days important anymore.

But you are back to being mortal. Perhaps you will appreciate those again with time.

That said, you don't find any of the organics in this planet suitable for your needs? There's Cindy, that other lady that couldn't sleep, Strelok and Issac.

[He's not listing the kids because Knock Out still has some decency left.] Strelok seems quite resourceful, he would make a good mate.

Considering that people do not stay dead here, I am not sure if anyone should be considered truly mortal.

[Wait a sec... Did he just? Is he seriously suggesting...]

I am not looking nor wanting a mate!

But that's cheating. We don't know if people comes back from the death after passing away from old age.

[Yep.]

Oh don't worry, It doesn't have to be permanent. Humans do that too, right?

Oh for Soa's sake....

[Yep, she's totally face palming now.]

Let me make this clear. I do not want a "mate," temporary or otherwise.

Who's Soa?

Okay, okay, I got it. [He raises his hands. No need to get your pistons in a twist, lady.]

It's the name of the creator god of my world.

Good. [Sorry Knock Out, it's a sensitive subject for her.]

Like Primus then. Are there more than one good in your universe?

[Spoilsport! Burt he's not pushing it because he likes Rose.] Did you like your v-card at least? What did yours say?

You can say that. [She help destroy one of them after all]

I have not checked and now I am afraid to look.

Not fond of them, uh? [Her happy face tells him everything.]

What's the worse thing that could happen? [Come on Rose, yours is not so bad.]

I am not a very religious person.

[Are you trying to say that she would be the one in the relationship wearing the pants, KO?] I get something utterly ridiculous in order to amuse someone else.

I am, if only because I always had the certainty that gods exists.

[Are you trying to tell me that she isn't already?] Sounds like Starscream's life in a card.
