[ There's that familiar 'ZAAAP!' followed by a loud 'OW'! A couple seconds later and Esther has the device turned on. She's sitting on the floor of her apartment with her back to the wall, and though she looks a lot less tired than last time, she seems distracted. Right now her mind is elsewhere. ]

Alright!

I wasn't neglecting it on purpose. [

The mistletoe got you too, did it?

... I don't know if we have anything planned, actually...

1/2

[declaim]

I tried removing it. With both hands.

[declaim]

...Well, I guess everyone can celebrate in their own way. You don't have anything specific planned, Father?

[13sugars]

... Ouch... No, that's not a good idea. I thought it was painful enough just refusing to kiss someone, I never tried to take it down!

Oh, other than having a Christmas mass, I didn't have anything exact planned, really.

[declaim]

You refused to kiss someone?

Then I suggest you don't try.

Who will be holding mass?

[13sugars]

Yes? [Hint: He was Abels height, with Abels face only he's a douche. GUESS WHO] I won't be any time soon, thank you. I think it's rather pretty!

I think the Arch Bishop... would prefer not to bother with it? I mean... Well, I'm sure he's busy. [Read: Do you want that man doing a mass? Seriously? On Christmas?]

I'll probably be doing it.

[declaim]

You should have been more careful. I've been taking extra care not to end up in that situation. I think the negatives outweigh the positives in this case.

Well...we certainly wouldn't want to bother him! [Read: I agree with you; I was just making sure!]

You'll do a good job. Though...how are we going to get everyone beneath the same roof for mass, with the mistletoe everywhere?

[13sugars]

I'm not going to hide in my room all day! Other than the shocking?

Of course not! Let the man sleep in that day, I'm sure he could use the break!

... Maybe we can have it outside?

WHAT WAS THAT?!

[13th_crusader]

Excuse me, Reverendo?
