To All Heroes

To Everybody:

Whether we've met or not, I'd appreciate a reply from as many people as are willing, especially if you didn't just come from a version of Earth.

So, let's talk holidays. Christmas, I was willing to let pass as a coincidence. Any civilized planet out there with a winter season ends up with some version of a winter solstice. It doesn't matter the time or the planet or the alien race, they've got some kind of tradition that we would recognize. Celebration for being 'almost out of the dark,' as a friend of mine would put it.

But Valentine's Day? Definitely a product of Earth, of a specific time period of Earth, to be sure. At least, in my experience. And that's where you guys come in. Anybody else, not from Earth, have a custom or a legend like this? Something specifically surrounding a holiday, something that's celebrated. Also, is anybody else reading up on Aqures Ixen legends enough to know if we're going all going to be dealing with rabbits and eggs in two months? If so, I'm calling shenanigans now.

I'm actually more used to having the entirety of the Wind at my beck and call, so, yes and no. But even still, yes, generally speaking, I am used to this sort of 'magic', as well as means of long-range communication through magic as well as technology that allowed for flying ships and walking giant machines.

Though as I hear giant walking machines isn't uncommon to others. That cute little blacksmith boy seems to enjoy talking at length about them.

By name alone those Weevils of yours sound like monsters but, I certainly can't say without getting in their face. I do, curiously enough, recognize some of the monsters here as being very similar to the ones where I'm originally from. I'd seen them but I'd never keep their company.

Giant walking machines? Okay, you've got me on that one.

Well, there was that one, but officially, according to the history books, that never happened.

More importantly. There are some similarities to your world? But you don't have the abilities that you do from your world? That's another question to be asking people, but later. You could control the winds? Is there anyone here who might have gotten your abilities, instead, then?

None that I've encountered, no. I hear there are 'wind elemental' creatures, but they don't look even the slightest bit like me or anything I know.
