Well, I'm certainly getting in the holiday spirit, but I think we could do without this weather. Why don't we revive an old tradition?

[Mukuro sits by a window, the snow falling heavily outside. He looks a bit chilly, his coat too light for the weather, even though he's not out in the cold. He smiles, tapping his gloved fingers on the windowsill.]

Sacrifices are done to appease Pagan gods who require them. As there seem to be none here, this would be of little use.

Aren't the Animus a little bit like pagan gods? They might like it.

[wingsandwill]

If they were Pagan gods they'd be simpler to kill.

And I don't feel particularly inclined to appease them.

[grandtheftbody]

Do you often go around killing gods where you're from? That seems a little extreme.

[bookish_lioness]

That's revolting. How can you even joke about such a thing?

[Video]

[grandtheftbody]

Oh, why would you think I'm joking?

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

Because if you're not, you're a very deranged individual.

[Video]

[grandtheftbody]

Haven't you met quite a few deranged individuals since being brought here?

[video]

[doestheickyjobs]

Worth a try!

[He snorts.] So how many suggestions have you had so far?

[video]

[grandtheftbody]

Only a few. Strangely, people don't seem that fond of the idea.

[video]

[doestheickyjobs]

[Tragic! Just look at the sad face over here.]

I can't imagine why not. Warm weather and a party: what's not to like?

[video]

[grandtheftbody]

Really, you'd think the people here hated fun. If it's a burnt sacrifice, we can even use the fire for a barbecue afterwards.

[ippotsuko]

And just what kind of primitive culture are you from?

[video]

[grandtheftbody]

I did say I was reviving an old tradition, didn't I? Not that we Italians can't be somewhat primitive at times, of course.

[video]

[ippotsuko]

Ah, I can think of an Italian fucker that thought something like human sacrifice was a good idea.

...But either way, you're fucking delusional if you honestly think you're going to accomplish anything.

[video]

[grandtheftbody]

Can you? How nice to hear of another creative countryman.

Oh, and who's to say I won't? The rules are different here, after all. You never know what might work.

[bunny_flower]

That is hardly funny.

[grandtheftbody]

Why do you think I was trying to be funny?

[bunny_flower]

Because the alternative is even worse to consider.

[grandtheftbody]

You mean the alternative that someone in this city is trying to make sure the sun comes back? That doesn't seem so terrible to me.
