Salutations Inspector! Hope you're doing alright.
It is I, Black Mage Garthas. You know, Warrior of Light.
On this Valentione's Day my top priority
is reaching out to my favorite Agent of Inquiry.
I may rhyme like Shantotto and my Flare burns quite bright,
but my true inspiration stems from the "Gentleman of Light"!
When did I first meet my main Manderville man?
Do you recall how our fantastic friendship began?
It was outside Ul'dah. It was after your fall.
Nashu's bomb brought your brains back, and that started it all.
We met Ellie who presented our first puzzling mystery
to track down the Treaty-Blade: a large part of our history!
And so onward we went bringing our foes to their knees:
Like big Greg with his swords and Typhon with his sneeze.
Then to Ishgarde we travelled. A new journey had begun.
We aided decrepit knights! You adopted a son!
Now Omega has threatened a land to the east,
so I need you to join me down south of Rhalgr's Reach.
Yes this Valentoine's Day with our brawn and our brains,
I'll cast Flare on some ghosts while you SUPLEX a TRAIN!!

Sincerely,

Gentleman Garthas Wattz

I edited my submission to correct misspellings. I can prove with screenshots that the spelling of the word "Valentione" is the only correction made. Am I going to be disqualified? Should I delete my submission and re-submit it?

Y’shtola,

These days without you… I have a lot of regrets, all of us do, but in the quieter evenings when I miss you the most I keep coming back to the same thought.

I never told you how much you mean to me. I never said how you set my heart racing every time you look at me, how your support is what gives me the strength to slay the gods themselves. I did that on purpose, of course. How could I possibly put words to the feeling you gave me when I first laid eyes on you that fateful night in Limsa? How could I ever measure up to your grace and poise in the face of any trial? I do try to deserve your trust, maybe even win your affections, but I know better. I could never deserve you, this is just a foolish crush that I should forget and let go. We all have more pressing matters to focus on, there’s not time to devote to these butterflies in my heart.

But I can’t let it go. I can’t let you go. Everyday I feel your absence and I’m faced with the same regret over and over.

I never told you I love you. And now I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance.



Silently and forever yours,
Sihri

Dear Mimigun,

It was you sweet Mimigun who gave me my first chocobo ride, this I write to you, and all the underappreciated chocobo porters across Eorzea:

You ferry us to and fro
Hands unclasped we are at last free to take a wee
From no monster shall we run afoul,
Our woes and worries we shan’t behowl
Tis yonder way, a journey
And yet, though the trails do wind
At our destination a keeper to find
Harbors to hills, from towns to mills
A porter stands watch never to botch
His duty clear and stables strong
For what could go wrong?
KWEH! The noble graceful chocobo
lest he rest naught for jest!
For a trot I shall never forget
great love, and forever beget
My chocobo’s keeper!

Love,
Pepper Mint

So, I'm on Phoenix which is an EU server, but I am in NA and have a NA account...does anyone know if they'll actually check that out or will I just be disqualified by them seeing an EU server straight off??
