Happy Cinco de Mayo, City. And congratulations on nothing being on fire. [ knock on wood sound. ]Jaime, Araña, anyone else who might care - want to get lunch and catch the parade? Maybe it's lame, but I've never really celebrated it before. Is it a throw beads type day or an eat good ethnic food type day? I am seriously jonesing for

Uh.

Is time really that different here?

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Well, some people are from space.
And I'm sure some are using a totally different calendar. And time just is pretty weird here, when you think about it.

[roflsupmafia]

I kind of try not to. It makes my head hurt...

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Seriously. People who get zapped in and out must have their circadian rhythms completey wrecked.

[lapequenaarana]

Yes! I would love to! Anything to keep from punching the next person who tells me that it's Mexican Independence Day!

[ a pause ]

Oh, and. You can call me Anya.

voice; in Spanish

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

We could prepare festive buttons for next year to express our brief triumph over Napoleon.

Anya it is.

voice; in Spanish

[lapequenaarana]

I don't know if anyone would even get it. The whole explanation is too long to be button-sized. And I'm usually so pro-button, too.

Cool. Thanks for helping me out when I was new in town.

voice; in Spanish

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

No problem. You got me in a "we're all in this together" day and not in a "Everyone is crazy and I'm on eggshells till I get home" day.

How's the City working out for you?

[bossisawitch]

I am all for adding a few more holidays to the mix.

voice;

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Sweet, want to meet me uptown and help search for actual tamales? It's nice out.

voice;

[bossisawitch]

I think I can be dragged away for a few hours, yeah. How nice out is 'nice out'? I'm pale and paranoid. The City winter has been waaaay colder and darker than I anticipated.

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Looking out the window...arms! yes, I see bare arms. It is short-sleeve shirt weather. Aaand shadows. Might even have to deploy a parasol.

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

I can't believe no one's actually thought of this before. We could celebrate all the cool holidays, like, five times every year.

voice;

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

I hadn't thought of that angle. Yes. Winter Veil followed by Chris...muhkkwanza. Brilliant.

voice;

[cantyouhearmy]

Followed by Yule, followed by Hogswatch. It's like the gift that keeps on giving. Literally.

voice;

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Hogswatch! How do we not have anyone from there? Do we have anyone from there?

[voice]

[yayashton]

[the following is in passable, but strangely accented, Spanish:] Happy Cinco de Mayo. We usually just celebrated in New Mexico with some kind of big feast.

[and then, English:] All the holidays are the same where I'm from, basically.

[voice]

[hecho_en_ca_usa]

Gracias--
[ English ]
Yeah, my mom would cook, but she was all about staying home and avoiding anything that might get dangerously festive.

Still hoping for some wacky Cybertron and elf holidays.

[voice]

[yayashton]

I could keep speaking Spanish, if you want, but I haven't used it since I got here so it's a little rusty. [a laugh] I'm not sure if the Cybertronians have time for holidays, but elven holidays might be pretty cool though.

Either way is fine, if you feel like practice. I just felt like it was topical.

Living millions of years and no days off? That would make me sad. I guess they are pretty much all war all the time, until they're not.
