[What a fine evening this is to be spending outdoors! Scenic piles of snow gracing the midwestern farmscape, countless stars twinkling in the clear winter sky, a red moon hanging low on the horizon, flaming mistletoe, a masked and costumed man with a crossbow standing on a roof

While I can understand that he might have some grievances with it, somehow this just seems like overkill.

((Placeholder-ish))

[goddamnemperor]

He's angry at everything. It has nothing to do with mistletoe itself.

[drfeelgold]

Well, I guess lighting things on fire is one way to vent one's frustrations.

[goddamnemperor]

Don't they still do that on your world?

[drfeelgold]

Cause senseless property damage? Eh, it happens from time to time. Depending on the day of the week.

[goddamnemperor]

They used to do it on mine as well.

[drfeelgold]

But not anymore?

[goddamnemperor]

Well, it would reflect on me if I can't maintain the authority on my planet.

[drfeelgold]

Some people look for weaknesses in their leaders, whether it actually exists there or not.

[goddamnemperor]

We all have weaknesses. Just not me.

[drfeelgold]

Really, none at all?

[goddamnemperor]

Do you think I have one? The God Emperor?

[drfeelgold]

You said so yourself, actually.

[goddamnemperor]

Yes, but that's what I said.

[drfeelgold]

And to me, you don't really seem like the type to contradict yourself, at least not when you're being particularly serious, if at all.

[goddamnemperor]

When you are as old and young as me, nothing seems serious anymore.
