piteous | HOMOPHONIC 🌺 SHU LYN O'KEEFE

[ .... ]

Yeah.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for her.

It's been rough for all of us.

[ how are we both alive becci the gods are too cruel ]

You holding up okay, Shooey Shu?

[ i am begging someone to kill shu. ]

...

[ but first the main point here: ]

"Shooey Shu"?

Shu?

[ it is a cute nickname ]

Where'd the 'Shooey' come from...

I added an -ee noise after your name to make it cute!

[ .... ok. ]

Okay.

Do you nickname a lot of people?

[ did i ever mention that most of his hair is black except for one blond streak at the front ]

I do. I think it's fun sometimes. I used to call Shenhe "Snowie," not that I've seen snow until here.

[ i deeply hate you and am ignoring you and assigning him blonde. ]

-- oh right, desert planet. How'd you find the snow? Cold? Fun?

[ sometimes you go grey, but in this case it's go black

Strokes chin as he checks out all this salt. ]

Both! But... Kind of hard not to affiliate it with stuff.

[ Shenhe. Then the blizzard murders. ]

With psychs?

Normally it's indicative of... cold and holidays. Some people love it, some people hate it.

... With this place.

[ But... Huh. ]

Holidays, huh. I wonder if I just need to have a better memory at the weather factory.

Where I'm from it's a religious holiday, but... I think people just celebrate it because it's there. People get together and buy presents and a share a meal.

... Even if you don't have family, you can celebrate with friends.

[ Thinking about this because it sounds familiar. ]

Christmas, right?

Bingo.

A lot of people associate snow and Christmas.

Now that I think about it, I haven't celebrated Christmas in a long time.

You have done before?

Yeah, with my family.

No snow or anything, but I'd bring all the kids souvenirs from my travels. The adults would get alcohol.

It's nice. I didn't really have a traditional one for... a long time, but I enjoyed the kinds I had back when I was a kid.

You know what we should do?

Christmas?

Yeah! I think it'd be fun to exchange gifts with our teams and each other.

... people might not really be feeling it, y'know? But it's a nice idea if people are up for it.

It doesn't need to be organized, festive, and cheerful. I think giving gifts and receiving them would be a nice small pick me up.

Remind people good things can happen. But. Small.

Well, we've had more than our fair share of depression so far. It might not hurt.
