...Why is everyone shopping?

"Because we all can't be ☠☠☠☠."

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

What is that supposed to mean?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

"It means some of us like doing good things now and then.

You know, since we are all in this miserable place together?"

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

I guess that's true. Back at home we don't have holidays based around buying lots of stuff.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, something about baby Jesus being born and so we be nice."

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

That sounds dumb.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess it would sound dumb to a guy like you. I mean considering..."

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Probably for Christmas.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Is that a holiday or something?

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's a popular holiday celebrated on Earth during these times.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Huh. I try to avoid big holidays, but I suspect they'll force participation somehow. They always do.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Most likely. It is a very sad thing considering what the holiday's meaning is supposed to be.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Should I even ask?

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

It is supposed to celebrate the birth if Jesus Christ, the Savior.

There's a holiday coming up, and you know what this place does. I'm shopping for decorations...and also supplies.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Makes us miserable is what this place does.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Precisely. I'm stocking up on the materials to build gas masks, among other things.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Not a bad idea. Would have been damn useful at that stupid party months ago.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Live and learn. Or die and learn, seems to be the main way to handle it here. I made an announcement offering gas masks and air purifiers and oxygen generators some time back, but very few people took me up on it. I take it you've been busy~? [Because surely that's the only reason for missing her announcement.]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Because Christmas is coming, of course!

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

So I hear. I'm not generally familiar with the holidays in this place.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Christmas is wonderful, but I'm sure Mayfield will find a way to turn it horrible. I'm not looking forward to it now.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Mayfield turns everything horrible. I can't imagine it would give us a holiday that's supposed to be happy without messing with us somehow.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately you're right. But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it before that all happens, eh?

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

I guess. I didn't particularly enjoy the last holiday we were graced with.
