FOUR // This tree is too small for climbing.

There's a tree in the house. Why is there a tree in the house?

Some sort of holiday, I assume, but I'm pretty certain that none of the holidays of this world are like the holidays of my own. I've tried my hardest to figure out what this particular one means, based on the decorations alone, but so far my best guess is that we're to give gifts to some kind of... tree spirit. Why else leave gifts beneath a tree, right?

Mm, I doubt that's the case, though.

Could someone explain what's really going on? Please?

Don't let yourself be fooled. I can be quite the rogue as well.

[ He falls in-step beside her, looking thoughtful ] Honestly, I don't know that many people here well enough to give gifts. I know Cyuss would appreciate alcohol.

Some people find that charming, though~

Aah, a few people I know got droned recently, so my shopping list is a little shorter than I'd like... [frown] The ones who're still stuck here are gonna be hard to find stuff for, though. Except Cyuss, of course~

[ He laughs ] The life of a rogue is not all it's cracked up to be, I'm afraid.

Ah... I heard about the Major General.

...But it is no longer truly about that. Capitalists use it as an excuse to spread the greed of consumerism.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? What's your world like?

[There's a brief flicker of sadness in her eyes at the mention of Olivier, but she shakes it off quickly. Contrary to popular belief, Miakis is capable of feeling emotions other than happiness. She just doesn't like that to happen very often :|]

Yeah. I think our little army will be okay without her, once we get more organized, but... I'll miss her. She was nice to have around.

Sorry for late. =(

Not usually. Only when it happens in the middle of summer.

[Palom is the best explainer.]
wavewalker: (so why IS the rum gone?)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Buy presents for everyone and forget religion, eh?
wavewalker: (sad Raptori in lack of snow)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
I would have liked to meet her. [ a slight frown, and a twitch of his tail ] But do keep me posted on the rebellion, as it were. The sooner I can get out of here and back to my ship, the better.

[identity profile] lotuslife.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you understand perfectly! [yayyyy now you can join the anti-capitalism club]
wavewalker: (swashbuckler)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. It's not as far along technologically as this one, for starters. We have different countries, different species, different holidays, and religions. Elves, dragons, magic, and the like, as well.
wavewalker: (where Tragedy goes)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
I would guess in this place, it's not about the religion at all, is it?
wavewalker: (stop the boat I want off)

It's cool!

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
... You've lost me.

[identity profile] lotuslife.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... Yes. For all we know, things may go terribly wrong...
wavewalker: (so why IS the rum gone?)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Do things tend to happen just on holidays?

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Cool! You guys have dragons?!
wavewalker: (most adorable pirate ever)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
They're few and far between, but yes.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's really neat! We don't have anything like that in our world, though we do have stories with them in it.
wavewalker: (and that's how Anwell does his hair!)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
You can see why I'm a little out of my depth, though.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah totally. Are you gettin' by alright?
wavewalker: (8D)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
So far, so good. The phone took a little figuring, but the box that keeps the food cold is simply ingenious.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
The fridge? Yeah that thing's pretty neat. [He hasn't really thought about it before, but hey, he takes things like that for granted]
wavewalker: (most adorable pirate ever)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Fridge? Is that what it's called? Ah, what I wouldn't give for something like that back home.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It makes food last a lot longer, that's for sure. What do you guys use instead?
wavewalker: (where Tragedy goes)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2010-12-13 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you can dry meat easily enough, or cure it to keep it from going bad quickly. And there's pickling, jarring, and the like. There are some fruits and vegetables we just keep around and hope they don't go bad before we can eat them.

If you're really lucky, you can keep things frozen because you know someone who can Wield ice.
