Chapter 5 [Audio] Open to all

Dec 08, 2011 09:37

[Tumnus has been keeping quiet, but the faun knows well the time of year that is approaching and it's far too much to ignore or otherwise simply passover; especially after the amount if time Narnia had been stuck in a winter without Christmas.]

Might I inquire of those that staff this Keep... Is Christmas celebrated here?

[Can you hear that ( Read more... )

Christmas?

[Tumnus has begun to rather enjoy his exchanges with you, Sollux. You get him to think, and he rather enjoys a smart conversation.]

A celebration during the winter time when one exchanges gifts with their fellows... It is a time that I am quite find of, actually...

*Gifts, huh? No wonder trolls never had anything similar.*

What sort of gifts? Do they give them to everybody? What happens if you don't give any?

*This may not be the thinking sort of conversation.*

[Sollux, it was a most enjoyable thing, gift giving!!

However, the question gives him pause before a warm smile alights upon his face.]

Why, anything you can possibly think of, Sollux. There are certainly no penalties for not giving gifts, but in general things are more enjoyable if the exchange is shared with as many as possible. Generally something personal to the one receiving it is the key to the gift giving process.

[Ahh, but just because it wasn't about theology and the humanization of inhuman creatures didn't mean the conversation wasn't interesting or engaging.]

Even if it isn't, we could probably arrange it among the residents, don't you think?

[Audio] faun_tumnus December 9 2011, 02:45:07 UTC

[Another person Tumnus has not yet met. Shalnack's response earns him a smile, the faun's ears clicking slightly as he nods to himself.]

I should think that that is actually a splendid idea, really... I know it is not something that everyone has perhaps celebrated in the past, but I believe it would be rather appreciated if we were to do so.

[A beat and then the faun continues...]

My apologies for being so rude... I am Tumnus, the faun.

[Audio] cellwave December 9 2011, 05:30:12 UTC

Right! Everyone likes presents and turkey, after all.

I'm Shalnark. Nice to talk to you.

[Audio] faun_tumnus December 9 2011, 15:25:43 UTC

[Tumnus chuckles at this, his voice warm and amused.]

I do not believe I know many at all that do not enjoy a good feast, my lad.

[Then the greeting comes and Tumnus replies rather formally.]

It is a pleasure to share conversation with you, Shalnark. My name is Tumnus...

Here's hoping it is. Christmas is something you can't skip~

[Tumnus was about to reply, but saw that the young woman had put up her own reply. He's just going to mosey on over there!]

I've only celebrated it once myself.

Audio faun_tumnus December 11 2011, 16:04:12 UTC

Ahhh, Odette...

[There is an undeniable warmth to his tone as the young princess responds to his entry.]

I am pleased that you have known the pleasure of such a joyous holiday as Christmas.

[Tumnus was so making you something for a gift, lovely princess.]

[Audio] Oops vivenieta December 13 2011, 11:55:33 UTC

Yes and no.

[Portuguese + Translated Text]

I celebrate it. But there is not always an official party.

[Winter was not always easy, and maybe harder now that there were more people again. But she does not want to say this.]

Usually the staff who know about it give gifts and do the things that they would do at home. Maybe there will be a small meal. I do not know.

[She will probably spend at least part ofChristmas Eve in the Chapel, but she does not say that either. It is something personal.]

[Tumnus listens with interest as Nieta gives him one of the most complete answers to his missive. His ears flick a bit, but he nods.]

I thank you for your time and reply, my lady. I should hope that there will be an exchanging of gifts amongst those that wish it, then. Perhaps we guests shall arrange an appropriate party for those amongst the staff that wish to attend and join us.

[Audio] vivenieta December 15 2011, 21:00:17 UTC

[... My Lady? Nieta laughs.]

Please, I am called Nieta. If you want a party and can help then I think that we could make something happen.

[Audio --> Video] faun_tumnus December 17 2011, 21:11:59 UTC

[Tumnus adjusts his feed over to video and can be seen smiling rather warmly.]

All ladies should be treated as such, and such is politely and with utmost respect, lady Nieta.

[It doesn't sound like he's being a smartass; he actually sounds 110% sincere here.]

I would be most pleased to give any assistance I am able, if it means the festivities might continue for those that both know and do not know of Christmas.
