[There's the small clearing of a throat, before Jade launches straight into business talk. He's looking for answers to a few of the odd little mysteries of this world...]

Pardon me, I don't wish to be a bother but I've discovered a bit of a discrepancy between this world and the home world I've come from.

I apologize if this does sound a bit silly, but what is the purpose of that three hundred and sixty-sixth day every four years? I'm a tad surprised that this world has such a short year cycle, but I've failed to reach a conclusion on why there is that last day. That and... Months. Is there any reason why they've been broken into days as they have?

[Why aren't your calendars standard and orderly, Pokéworld?]

Time seems to pass the same way. I guess my world just circulates differently to this one.


[Private to Dist]

I'm sure you've noticed the difference with the amount of days in a year in this world. How are you accounting for it?

The extra day you mentioned, is the day when beautiful ladies are allowed to propose to men.

[This certainly answered all your questions, right?]

And which deity sparked that tradition, do you know?

[Oh yes. Definitely. Because Jade just has women throwing themselves at his feet daily. Also known as 'this man reminds him of an old acquaintance and he's already feeling the urge to throw him.]

I'm not sure if there is one. At least I haven't heard of it.

[And since it's good to give a fair warning.]

Whoever was behind it had to be quite a feminist... they say all men who refuse have to buy the woman a dress. Or give the money for it.

I see. I wasn't aware that there were any rules against women proposing at all. The more I learn.

Do you speak from experience?

I guess it's not forbidden, but it's more encouraged on the leap days.

Perhaps.

[fonic_sight]

Ah. So how many fiancés have you acquired over the years?

What makes you think I've accepted any of the proposals?
