Thank you anon for this story and all of the gifts!
I've recently received two storyline gifts. The first gift of candy hearts starts with the text below:
SPOILER (click to toggle)
Survival celebrations are close to their final leg, as some Subetans continue to participate in the Voluntary Infection Programme. There's no need to go to Shadowglen to become one of the Unliving, now that there are Infection Specialists in every corner of the planet. Gone were the days when becoming one of the Unliving was a commitment for life to those who were never availed of a cure for one reason or another, lest they become a persona non grata to Skedhu's underground upon rejoining the living majority. Flux between the state of living and unliving is as fluid as fleeting desires of the heart, as some research infectious diseases common during this season for the advancement of our current knowledge of the Unliving. This is the aftermath of an era where each and every Subetan has a cure to every pandemic to their disposal.
Others celebrate the holiday by exchanging kisses with one another. Kissing becomes a numbers game all on its own, with people taking the opportunity to offer prizes in exchange for more kisses. Some gather around temples and pray for love to their respective deities, seeking their blessing.
As you wonder if you should check out one of the larger Survival parties in the planet, you feel something poke against your shoulder from the side. When you turn around to see if it's someone getting your attention, you see a lady sitting beside you.
I was originally receiving gifts and following the storyline of "It's a busy day in Centropolis" but I've been away from Subeta for a month or two. I'm not sure if it's part of that storyline, or a new one at this point. If you know of a thread or board that follows this storyline, please let me know where it is! Nvm, just realized I missed the February update in the other thread. Found where this fits in...sorry!
As always, thank you anon(s?) for your dedication to these plots and thank you for including me! It's been so much fun following along. The time and dedication you put into the writing and graphics is apparent.
