Day 10 - VIDEO

[exceptfebruary]

[ There is a pie. There is a pie with the π symbol on it. There is a pie with little sticky blueberry squiggly legs and little blueberry arms with little blueberry claws. It hisses, clawing at the camera.

Calendar Man’s hand comes down and picks up the communicator, away from the weird little pi monster. More little pie monsters – apple, cherry, strawberry rhubarb – try to grab the comm. Julian manages to take it away from then and looks into the camera. His eyebrow couldn’t possibly raise itself any more. ]

It is March 14th. 3/14.

I had been disinclined to count the so-called “Pi Day” as a real holiday, but evidently my powers disagree. [ A small smile spreads. ] That raises some intriguing implications, doesn’t it?

Tell me, City – how many of you celebrate unusual or uncommon holidays?

Only Julian Day could ruin pies.

[exceptfebruary]

I'm sure there is someone that is dessert-themed somewhere.

[enigmaestro]

I seem to recall someone unfortunate and condiments.

Dude!

[The pie monsters definitely have his attention.]

What are those things? They look pretty wild!

[exceptfebruary]

[ He focuses the camera back on the pie monsters. They start reaching for the comm again. There's a bunch of them, all in different flavours. ]

Pi monsters. Not the most useful as far as monsters go, but acceptable.

[cosmic_ring_hero]

[Curtis laughs a bit.]

Pi Monsters? What do they do besides look freaky and try to steal your comm?

Holiday themed abilities. Makes sense.

[exceptfebruary]

It does. Limited, but useful.

I've been meaning to apologize. Julian.

Pie monsters.

[ beat ]

It's certainly unique.

[exceptfebruary]

I can't say I expected them. Unique monsters for a unique holiday.

[futurebatwoman]

They're almost ... cute. In a weird way.

[symmachy]

Ever heard of Samhain?

[exceptfebruary]

Of course. Samhain. Gaelic. The end of October and the beginning of November.

[symmachy]

I celebrate that.

[phobic]

June 15th is International Phobia Day.

And every day is International Mock Julian Day.

[exceptfebruary]

International Phobia Day. And I do hope the latter is a joke.

[phobic]

Of course. It stops being a holiday when you celebrate it every day. [helu really] Really they claim it's the day to face your fears, but obviously people don't, since I guarantee you 95% you ask wouldn't know about it.

[indentcision]

[ That made him laugh. ]

[notyourchauffeur]

This is a thing on earth? Pi day?! Haha- oh that is the most charming thing!

Oh I simply cannot get over this!

[ALL OF HIS NERDY DELIGHT, RIGHT HERE.]

Oh and I bet I could bake a pie for today, too! And perhaps it would be called a Pi Pie!

Ahaha!

[exceptfebruary]

Yes. In celebration of the number pi. 3.14 - therefore, the fourteenth day of the third month. I do believe baking a pie is a way to celebrate it.

[incywincyhero]

Man, and I thought the gang of mimes were hitting a new ridiculous.

[exceptfebruary]

...The gang of mimes. [ THERE ARE ACTUALLY MIME GANGS IN THE DCU he is unsure if serious ]

[hackeralastair]

Okaaay...not the weirdest power I've seen but that's pretty weird.

It's White Day in Japan, you know. [and he's bummed because it makes him miss Bakura]

[exceptfebruary]

White Day, a month after Valentine's. For those lucky boys to return the favor to those girls who gave them Valentine's chocolate. How Valentine's changes depending on the culture is fascinating.

Are you Japanese?
