['sup quarantine, today y'all get +1 very bored teen speedster sighing and rolling his eyes in a highly dramatic fashion, phone balanced on his knee to film as he's lounging on the couch in his apartment.]

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who feels like puking over this holiday thing. It's like Valentine's Day on steroids! Ugh! [he shudders to highlight his disgust.] I mean, why do we need a whole big thing for romaaaantic loooove anyway? And soulmates? Psh! I mean, if that's your thing, go for it, but those of us who're a little more sane oughta stick together, right? Maybe have our own anti-holiday or something. Who's with me?

[wellll tommy could probably stand to be called out a little.]

Yeah, a little more variety would be cool. Where’s the holiday for just partying and having a good time? Can’t we just have something like Mardi Gras once in a while?

[It would probably be better to come from someone with a vested interest in Tommy though. Cullen isn't a terrible man, but he has no idea who he is at this point in time, aside from someone unhappy with the current environment of the Quarantine, like himself.]

I'm not certain what Mardi Gras, if it is an Earth holiday, but we did just have Carnivale not that long ago. It was a lot of partying and "having fun". It made being part of the Perimeter Guard....less about patrolling the fences and walls certainly.

Yeah, that was OK, I guess. Mardi Gras’ way more intense though - people really go all out! But we could definitely use more holidays like that and less about feelings. Ugh.

Why not forego the celebrations the city planners have attempted to make for us and do something of your own? I'm certain you might be able to find enough people to join you.

[and thus begins thomas shepherd's career in event planning.]

Y'know, that is great idea! How hard can it be to plan a party? [he laughs.] You're brilliant, dude!

It is not exactly the easiest thing if watching one of my acquaintances back home, but she is extremely organized. However, it really depends on what sort of occasion you want to have and who you want to invite.
