there's a strange exhilaration / in such total detestation
It's February! And as all the drugstores have been telling us since shortly after Christmas, that means Valentine's Day is coming!
You know what's coming on the Alternian calendar instead, and by stunning coincidence will, er, coincide with February 14th? Caliginoctis, that heartwarming holiday when you make that little bit of extra effort to let your kismesis know how much you truly hate them. Send poisoned candy or allergenic flowers, play a cruel prank, sabotage that crucial plan, or just take a moment to pen a truly sincere hate letter and have it hand-delivered with the requisite accompanying gesture.
Or, if you're at Milliways this year ... send a card! The waitrats will be happy, if seriously weirded out, to deliver it for you. (Of course, pranks and sabotage and hate letters are also fair game. Just remember, the No Violence rule is still in effect.)
But wait, you say; how is my character supposed to find out about this troll holiday? Well, that's where you're in luck (if that is the word): Nepeta will be posting something on the bulletin board and/or on a T-Minus memo, probably sometime this weekend, and will be around to answer IC questions.
OOC discussion, meanwhile, can happen here. Does anybody have any questions? Any answers? Would anybody care for a mint? (Not poisoned, I swear.)

There are so many ways this could go badly, I love it. Especially is the fact that on Valentine's Day, I have to get a work review, I'm all about distractions.

Such an urge.
Someone should stop me before Artemis passes the hat to try and make this happen.

Oh! There is still a bowl of poison octopus paste waiting for the trolls with Bar courtesy of Amascut.... You know what, it's been there since a bit after Midsweeps Eve. Because Amascut has a very fuzzy sense of when Christmas is. Um... it's probably gone bad by now.
