[Normally, Gold's content to just go day-by-day in Luceti, not entirely too concerned about the state of affairs back home. After all, as far as he's aware, everything should be perfectly fine and normal at home. He even went so far as to set his Pokégear's time and date to Luceti time instead of Earth time.

Of course, while it's normally a benefit, this time it works against him. His Pokegear ever-so-lovingly reminded him today was Mother's Day.

...So he needs a reminder of when Mother's Day is, okay. So sue him. Anyway, he's reminded of his mom now. Kid misses her, of course. He's not exactly ready to leave her behind just yet, and being away from home for two years... Well, it makes you homesick.

Instead of getting depressed over it, though, he instead opts to pose a question to Luceti.]

So here's a little survey. Dunno what it's like in your world, but according to my Pokégear on this day in my world, it's a little holiday called "Mother's Day". It's pretty self-explanatory. It's a day we celebrate moms.

So answer this: What are your moms like? Here, I'll even kick things off to get started. My mom's pretty much the best mom anyone could ask for. She raised me with all her love, and I wouldn't trade her for any other mom in the world.

And her burgers are to die for. Now it's your turn. Shoot.

[Wow, was it already mothers day? She almost forgot...]

We have mother's day where I'm from, too.

My mom is really sweet. She's a really good cook, and smart. Back home, she was a teacher, like me. She always supports her loved ones. She's a really strong person.

God, I miss her.

[mischiefbreeder]

Sounds like she's a pretty amazing gal, to me.

[tsuntrader]

[...

Is there a holiday for everything?

Her burgers really are to die for.

You miss her, don't you?

Are you okay?

...Yeah, he's just going to avoid this topic and pretend he never opened his journal. He'll talk to Gold... Later. When he gets home. ...Eventually.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold returns home sometime that night. He spent the majority of the day goofing off at the Rec Center.

He's hungry, so he start rifling through the fridge to find that personal pizza he brought home last night.]

[voice]

[stockpot]

Goodness, you must really love your mom! I don't think there's a holiday like that in Termina.

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah, she's a hell of a lady. But all moms are great, and we take 'em for granted.

[galaxynymph]

What's my mother like?

Wish I knew.

[mischiefbreeder]

[Ahh, one of those types. Has no idea what their mother was like. Luceti probably has these types dime-a-dozen.]

What do you think she might've been like, then?

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Your world has a day that celebrates mothers? Is there one for each type of relation?

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Just Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Children's Day.

[ahappylie]

What a wonderful holiday. It sounds like you care for your mother very much. She must be very happy to have such a good son.

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

What can I say? She's my mom.

[estelle_bright]

Wah--! Is it that day already?!

[Estelle has so lost track of time. But after her surprise at the date, the meaning sinks in a little like it always has. She's quiet a moment.]

2/2

[estelle_bright]

Well... Maybe it really is a mom thing that they are awesome cooks, because my mom made the best omelettes you've ever had. She was always smiling and smart and pretty, too. I think the thing I remember most about her though is how brave that she was.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... what if you don't have a mom?

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Don'tcha have anyone who was like a mom?

[wildlittlegirl]

Mommy was really strong. She took care of all of us and taught us things like how to hunt for food.

[mischiefbreeder]

[like... Hunting for food... Well, there's all kinds of moms out there]

Sounds like she wanted you to be strong like her.

[first_darkness]

Why would anyone celebrate that?

[mischiefbreeder]

Why wouldn't they?

[dragoneer]

My mom? Was one of the fiercest warriors my tribe ever saw. I mostly have heard stories about her--she died when I was a pretty little kid. I don't really remember her at all.

voice;

[mischiefbreeder]

What was she, a viking? [Gold thinks he's being clever.]

[Voice]

[rutagraveolens]

Momma is real good at cooking and she sings all the time. In the fields, when she's cleaning or cooking. She's real good too.

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

..."In the fields"?

[entwiningfate]

[Was it really mothers day already? Back home Sion would make this day the best that he could for his mom... boo he misses her]

My mom is a baker in our district of the city. She's really kind and amazing. Her strawberry shortcakes are the best too.

[mischiefbreeder]

Mmm... [Strawberry shortcake...] Sounds like my kinda mom, then!

[voice]

[fortuneprince]

I, unfortunately, am unable to recall much of my mother. She passed when I was still very young. From what I can remember, and based off of stories my relatives have told me, she was a very respectable woman.

Strong, intelligent and patient. A fine detective in the Shirogane household.

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Sounds pretty typical... Except that last part. That last part catches his attention.]

Your mom's a detective?

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba doesn't have a mommy! Got a daddy though and he's the best daddy ever, he's really cool and he types stuff on computers and works really hard. And then he buys Yotsuba treats and takes me places, like the zoo!

[So yeah, she'll just talk about her dad instead.]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Your holiday's next month.

[ voice ]

[happyends]

Mine is really, really great..! [ oh, you could let Madoka talk forever about her mother, really, she can go on endlessly.. ]

She's really cool and smart and she always knows just what to say or what kind of advice to give.

[ voice ]

[mischiefbreeder]

One of those cool older ladies who's been through everything and comes out on top, huh?

[savedtheworld]

[Mother's Day. The most Aang knew about mothers was from when Katara would tell him about her own. Speaking of whom, in case she came across this entry, Aang made a mental note to try to hug her later. As for the entry itself, it looked at it uncertainly before saying anything.]

I don't think we have a Mother's Day back home. [Pause.] What other nice things does your mom do?

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, she does my laundry, and cooks me nice hot meals... She gave a nice home to live in with the best family I could ask for... And of course, she's the one who brought me into the world.

[Action]

[cooltrainer]

[Mother's day. Pshaw. He'll stick to Grandparents' Day.

Also, he was eavesdropping. He hasn't been hovering, per se, but he has been around the house a lot more lately to keep an eye on his juniors. It shouldn't be too surprising for Green to be there and speak up.]

You know what my grandfather is like.

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[GEEZ WHERE'D YOU COME FROM]

With a Spinarak up his bum? Yeah, I know what he's like.

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

Mama was my inspiration and my goal.

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Your "goal"?

[Voice]

[falenanthief]

Hell if I know.

[His memories of his mother are rather vague.]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

You have no idea?
