Marley doesn’t celebrate Valentines, but she capitalizes on discount candy the day after. (Chocolate dipped in blood is apparently delicious, but it’s hard to trust her taste).
Tabor picks up extra work shifts at the Coffee Shop and stares, somewhat sadly at all the couples. His friends, particularly Blake, are always good to repay him though.
So long as Scarlet doesn’t have to work, she and Amber have a very quiet and intimate day of pampering. It’s also the only day where spirits are banned (and salt lined) out of their home. Amber treasures Valentines as a holiday of peaceful ritual (and warm baths and sweet smells and deep kisses).
Piperit, although single, sends a professional Valentine to Marian and his respected library regulars. They’re all surprisingly sincere. He dotes on the “Featured” section (novels with romantic focus, usually heavy on YA material) more around this time of year than any other.
Nadia spends the day in the graveyard with the many spirits that have no where to go. She listens to their stories of love and passion and writes them down. She tries to get to everyone, but no one seems to mind as the day wanes and she grows tired. She sometimes takes breaks to buy flowers for the graves of the sadder spirits; a peaceful offering in dark times for the lost.
Sherwood is that guy who sets up a kissing booth in the park (25 cents) for a few hours, pops out of trees with roses for women (single or nah), and turns his “I totally understand romance” dial to 100. Ashe has debated arresting him on Valentines just to keep him safe from the barrage of men and women out to kick his ass.
Tho is Sabriel was interested in a date, he would do his best to make the best date he could. Prolly like: “I found this captain and organized a dinner cruise and rented a tuxedo and bought…..way too many candles.”
Robin and Elodie laugh in the background like it’s the freaking Parent Trap.
Hey Nova, you should tell me about what some of your OCs do for Valentine’s Day (SO or not)!
Okay!
Marian actually stresses really hard about Valentines day. The house is full of roses and candy. The kids love it. Her loves make her dinner and they have a lovely family night celebrating how much they all care about each other; romantically or otherwise.
Red Sand Angel takes Harmony to the Aquarium where they spend all day hanging out. Sandy sketches crabs while Harmony talks to all the sea creatures who can hear her beyond the glass. Everything goes well until she attempts to help the Octopus escape.
Doyle sits at home and plays music on an old record player. He has a glass of milk and pulls out a picture of his deceased wife. He contemplates going back in time, just to see her, but knows it’s foolhardy. The day is one of soft contemplation to soft music; a reflection of time and love and spirit.
Dulcie is busy with her family in the kitchen; Valentines is a popular time of year for them. She bakes cookies in the stone oven special; shaped like hearts. Her sisters ice them with steady hands and each bag of cookies has one. She takes a batch to school, iced with classmates names.
Phineas brings Hope flowers from his private gardens and the two hang out. Everyone assumes its romantic, but really they spend their time talking about how Phineas has a huge crush on Crash and can’t bring himself to tell her. Hope helps him keep calm and reminds him that since they’re already friends, he shouldn’t have to worry so much. He never gets closer to admitting his feelings, but he appreciates the time he spends with Hope.
Jacqueline plans elaborate dinner dates with candles and music and atmosphere, but also refuses to be the one to set up the date (she’s the sort who should be swept off her feet, don’t you know). She leaves little notes all around to hint at what she wants. Of course, she also goes all out for Cayden; putting together a bundle of all his favorite things in an elegantly decorated gift basket.
Alice (the robot) spends her time in heavily trafficked date areas to observe couples. She takes down data and compiles advanced analysis of couples throughout the city for her databanks. She practices holding hands with herself and keeps pestering her friends to talk about their relationships for weeks afterwards.
