Christmas, huh...

What a waste of time. I can't believe anyone would actually try to celebrate it here.

[Pause.]

...It's interesting that so many people seem to know about it, though.

How so?

[fate_foretold]

You mean, why is it a waste of time, or why is it interesting that everyone seems to know about it?

[text]

[whiteduplicity]

The former!

[fate_foretold]

Oh. Because holidays don't accomplish anything. They're just a bunch of old, outdated rituals and traditions.

[blacksheepgirl]

The people here seem rather fond of pointless things.

[fate_foretold]

You've got that right. If they didn't spend all their time on parties and stupid stuff like that, I'm sure we'd be a lot closer to getting out of here.

[whatthefactor]

At least you weren't here for the last iteration.

[fate_foretold]

...What happened last time?

[whatthefactor]

Genetically engineered mistletoe.

[fate_foretold]

...

[Pff, what.]

Want to elaborate?

[fuck_mistletoe]

Nothing wrong with Christmas.

[fate_foretold]

...Except that it's a waste of time.

[fuck_mistletoe]

Then do something else. No one's making you celebrate it.

[fate_foretold]

Yeah, but I still have to listen to people going on and on about it over the network.

[hakai_aniki]

If it wasn't 'Christmas,' they'd find another foolish sentiment to waste their time with.

[fate_foretold]

Ugh. You're right. That's just how they are.

[hakai_aniki]

Hmph. They're more interesting when something dangerous happens here.

What is the point of this particular holiday? [He supposes he'll wish he hadn't asked.]

[fate_foretold]

Oh, you don't know about it? It started out as some religious thing... but now it's mostly just about giving gifts. People still do all the old traditions, though. Looks like that's what everyone's gonna spend their December doing.
