[Begins transmission with a smile, him flying solo in his own journal for the day. And here, being committed to your entertainment. Or at least, it's in the works, but today he has a few things in mind he'd like to accomplish to get that started.]

Hello, Luceti, it's a chilly morning out there, so make sure you're nice and bundled up for any sort of travel you expect to be doing today.

Jack and I are still compiling some requests and compositions from you lovely lot, and if you'd like to put in some last minute offers or requests, feel free to let me or Jack know.

[Switches gears a little, looking just a little nervous]

I also come to you today for a request.

[Takes a deep breath and averts his eyes just a moment, licking his lips before glancing back to the screen]

I've heard of some doctors being located at the Battle Dome and I had questions about... things... regarding mobility, mostly. Ah, if anyone could get me in contact with a doctor there, I would really... really appreciate it. As some of you know I have some mobility issues and improving that would be...

[Smiles a little, wistful and hopeful but trying to keep it under wraps]

...It would be my top priority.

[Scratches the side of his nose with one finger and sits back]

Alright, thanks again, listeners-- and stay safe out there.

[On occasion, tone and insight and experience combined to help Eugene catch on that maybe this line of inquery wasn't so great. Licking his lips more out of a nervous gesture than to wet them, he glanced away, thoughtful before returning with a smile]

Well-- they're just not really being practical are they? I mean, don't offend the goddess who can literally tell you to cool your head. Violently, if necessary. I figure I should be nice-- manners are important, parents always told me that.

[She's grateful. Talking about the deaths of the Western gods bothers her more than she's willing to admit.]

Humans often have an inflated sense of self worth, Eugene. Not all of them, but plenty.

And your parents sound quite wise. Manners are important.

[Nods sagely, looking a bit tired, but not with Saori. Hardly]

I've seen some of the best and worst that humanity has to offer. Trust me, lots of people have inflated sense of self-worth. When paper money collapsed-- heh, you should have seen...

[Actually, that hadn't been a very good moment, it was like a tipping point from there when everything went to hell and he stuck his tongue in his cheek]

...I've talked myself into an odd box here. So... do you have plans for Valentine's Day-- or are you familiar with the holiday?

What happened in your world, Eugene? I get the sense that it's...troublesome at best.

[Saori feels compelled to ask, honestly. Curious about the young man]

Valentine's Day? I suppose I should think on that. It's celebrated in Japan, though opposite of what you might think of in the west. It's expected for women to give chocolate to men.

Troublesome is putting it lightly, but I'd rather not spoil a decent conversation with the kind of troublesome my world's got going on.

[Maybe it would be a story for another day, perhaps on the radio show. But he did smile sheepishly for avoiding clarification.]

That-- oh. So am I to be expecting chocolate from you or will you be offended if a bunch of guys just show up to give you chocolate?

Of course.

[Not prying...not her.]

I won't be offended, but I should think that since we're not seeing one another...chocolate would be inappropriate. Perhaps a card, though.

A card sounds lovely, then. Though I doubt a lady like you would ever be without a valentine or two. Or eight, as the case may be.

[He is very grateful that she is willing to let it go at that. Definitely a story for another time.]

But now I'm just being a flatterer, right? I'm sure that a special someone has something in store for you.

I certainly don't think I'm worth all that much fuss, but thank you. You're very sweet.
