[Hey there, bros and brosises. Chuck is sitting on the edge of a stone fountain in a park somewhere, polishing off an iced coffee that's decidedly girly-looking, but shh. He gives the NV a very serious look.]

It's Pi Day, Siren's Port. Have you had your pie today?

[motioned]

Wait, how is pie a number? I don't think I get it.

[paterelohim]

It's named after a greek letter pi - spell P-I - and it's a math thing. 3.14 something- it's the, uh, when you're calculating the area of a circle or something?

[Guess who is not a math person.]

[motioned]

So that number is the area of every circle?

[paterelohim]

No, it's a number you use in the formulas when you're calculating stuff about circles. Like- every circle's circumference.... divided by its... diameter? Is pi.

Or- okay, it's something like that. I don't remember.

[She didn't understand that at all, but that happens to her pretty often, so. Moving on.]

So did they invent it today?

[paterelohim]

No. The number pi is 3.14, and March 14th is... 3/14.

[motioned]

Oh, I get it!

So people eat pie even though it's not about that kind of pie?

[paterelohim]

Yeah- exactly. It's a pretty lame holiday, but kind of awesome.

[motioned]

Wait, how can it be lame and awesome at the same time?
