[VIDEO]
[WE INTERRUPT YOUR DEMONS AND MAYHEM TO BRING YOU...]
[Based on the setup of the ACE camera, this isn't just an impromptu video recording. Allura looks like she took extra care in preparing her own appearance (complete with earrings that are more sparkly than usual) and the backdrop, the common area of her team's shared units in the ______ Suites.]
Hello, everyone! I hope this day is finding all of you well. First, I'd like to take a moment to thank those of you who came to my father's assistance after his investigation of the Kaittos flora went off the rails. It's much appreciated, and you'll be happy to know that the vines should all be gone now.
[With a small emphasis on 'should'. Her eyes sweep the room briefly, as if she's expecting those seeds to burst open and photobomb her recording. So far, though, so good!]
But that's not why I'm making this video. Today, I am celebrating Grogory Day! ... I have to confess, though, that I don't know if it actually is Grogory Day. Attempting to convert the Altean calendar is a troublingly complicated matter, but...
Regardless! Grogory Day started as a celebration of peace accords, and grew into a holiday of peace and friendship. And you can all join in, too! All you have to do is give compliments to the people you meet — such as, "Your hair looks fantastic today!" or "You have such a handsome smile!" Another way to celebrate is by doing something nice for a stranger, just because you can.
With that in mind, I would also like to offer a special Grogory Day drink, to my neighbors in the Suites and anyone else who would like to stop by! It's not quite the traditional Grogory Day drink, but — I found something that should work, in the Kaittos market. It's blue and sweet, at least!
[... it's very sweet. Very, very sweet. Drink at your own risk.]
You've all been very patient, listening to me ramble on like this! Happy Grogory Day to all of you, and I hope to see all your gorgeous faces today!
[TL;DR: Reply or Action, get free compliments and a holiday greeting.]

[She's beaming about that. There's not all that many Alteans aboard the station, after all — especially not compared to all the humans here. It would have been easy for them to dismiss it as a quirky alien thing. But...!]
Well, I agree with your friend! You are cute! Happy Grogory Day!

I sent some people I care about some nice messages. It seems like a cool holiday. I never heard of a holiday where you can celebrate your friends and stuff.
(At least that's the gist he's getting here about it.
Eddie does go spectacularly red though and slaps a hand onto his face, groaning quietly.)
Oh, God. Don't let him hear you say that.
(Mortification manifested. Systems shutting down. He drops his hand and sighs.)
Happy Grogory Day. (A beat.) Is your whole planet full of nice people? I mean, to have a whole holiday like this is kinda -. We definitely don't have anything like that back on earth.

But as a whole, Alteans were... perhaps a little more compassionate than the people of some other planets. Especially when it comes to the peoples of other planets — we Alteans dreamed of universal peace for generations.
[There's a worrying amount of past tense.]
That's why we started celebrating the peace accords with Crethesia, which was a large step towards that goal. And why I'm glad to be making friends with people from Earth and other planets here, as well.
