SUDDENLY: MISTLETOE.

[fu_noobspeaker]

Well gosh! It's all so festive, y'all!

[TODAY, there is mistletoe everywhere. Hanging over obnoxious cabin overhangs, planted in inappropriate spots in the mess hall, twisted around various poles and the few trees in farm camp - you name it, you can probably find it there.

happy holidays. :') ]

[ this is a look of confusion ]

Something wrong?

[goddamnemperor]

[laughs] Now you're trying to dissect it. It's not that simple.

[drfeelgold]

No, I guess it wouldn't be.

That still must get pretty difficult though. Knowing people without... really having known them.

[goddamnemperor]

I do not know him the way you know him. But I have seen him the way you have seen him and the way only I can see him.

[drfeelgold]

Well, I hope you'll get to know him- and everyone else who's here that you've not personally met yet- on his own merits.

Whatever problems we've had in the past and despite his... occasionally less than stellar personality, he's still a good guy. He's just had a pretty rough time of lately. All of us have I guess.

[goddamnemperor]

I'm not one to judge.

[drfeelgold]

No, I guess you couldn't be.

I appear to be someone who presumes a lot though. Sorry about that.

[goddamnemperor]

It hasn't hurt me.

[drfeelgold]

Still, I shouldn't assume.

[goddamnemperor]

Everyone assumes. It would be difficult to simply stop just because you shouldn't.

[drfeelgold]

True, but I try to keep more of an open mind. Consider all possibilities.

[goddamnemperor]

If you try, I won't ask for more.

[drfeelgold]

Then I'll try my best.

[goddamnemperor]

Very well.

I suppose we should get this over with.

[drfeelgold]

[ finally notices exactly how close the mistletoe is to them ]

... oh.

[goddamnemperor]

Oh.
