Who: opal, nightingale, and you
Broadcast: video!
Action: on the pathstone
When: now!

[When the feed turns on, it’s focused on... so many Christmas sweaters laying on a bed. There are more, hidden beneath those four and out of view of the camera; from what can be seen, it looks like there are at least three or four more. The camera swings around to two girls, one of whom has the most deadpan look on her face.]

I officially hate sponsor drops. I want none of this.

[The other one just looks kind of confused.]

I’m pretty sure this is another Earth reference or something that I’m missing here. What the fuck is wrong with Earth?

[It earns a snort out of Opal.]

There are many things wrong with Earth, and all of them are a long story. Don’t worry about it. Anyways, the point is that someone should come here and take these away because every single one is kind of the worst thing ever? Save us.

Either that or we can throw them out into space. That’s an option too. There’s a sun nearby to hurl these into, right?

[She sounds dead serious about this.]

...Maybe we should at least see if anyone wants them before we toss them into a sun? [But, she smiles.] I am totally saving shoving them out of an airlock as a plan B, though. Thank you for that.

[She glances back at the camera for a moment, though, giving the feed a Look.]

Seriously, though, get these far enough away that I never have to see them again.

[ooc: blue is opal, purple is nightingale!]

I don't understand the connection?

[helladoomed]

We grow through suffering. Various forms of suffering.

Christmas sweaters are one of those forms.

[experiencepoints]

Wait- What? That's stupid- Is that why so much of Earth just seems to be about killing people?

[... yeah, her impressions of earth are not the greatest]

[helladoomed]

You jumped from sweaters to murder way fast, girl.

[experiencepoints]

I know very little about Earth, and that's what I've seen, and you're the one who was talking about suffering like that was just an Earth thing?

[helladoomed]

It's called a joke, kid.

Jesus, lighten up.

[experiencepoints]

I thought a religious celebration involving worshiping a demigod with ugly sweaters with bad puns was a joke, too, okay?

[help her]

[helladoomed]

[It takes her a second to parse that.]

It is? But people take it really fuckin' seriously too.

[experiencepoints]

Take... the sweaters seriously?

[helladoomed]

No all the religious bullshit.

Also the sweaters probably.

[experiencepoints]

... I'm very confused.

Sorry, I don't really... I mean, my world doesn't have religion. So I'm lost as hell.

[helladoomed]

Sounds like a nice place.

[experiencepoints]

It was? I mean, I liked it a lot?

... Is that sarcasm, I can't tell anymore.
