[ .... ok. ]

Okay.

Do you nickname a lot of people?

[piteous]

[ 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.

[roseoftexas]

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

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

[piteous]

[ 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. ]

[roseoftexas]

With psychs?

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

[piteous]

... With this place.

[ But... Huh. ]

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

[roseoftexas]

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.

[piteous]

[ Thinking about this because it sounds familiar. ]

Christmas, right?

[roseoftexas]

Bingo.

A lot of people associate snow and Christmas.

[piteous]

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

[roseoftexas]

You have done before?

[piteous]

Yeah, with my family.

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

[roseoftexas]

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.

[piteous]

You know what we should do?

[roseoftexas]

Christmas?

[piteous]

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

[roseoftexas]

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

[piteous]

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.

[roseoftexas]

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

[piteous]

I'll see if I can figure something out. Even if it's an exchange between our teams, or maybe with the kids, it'll be fun.
