[Voice] 'Tis the season, after all...

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum...

It's that time of year again.  Shoot, guess I gotta get working on a list of who to get presents for...

Wonder if that crazy thing with the mistletoe's going to happen again this year.  Hope not.

...Dude, are you drunk?

[nocturncoat]

No, just singing. I do that occasionally; you get used to it. And also trying very hard to take my own mind off all the people who've been disappearing.

[faithfullyslain]

I guess I'll have to. Taken to sleeping indoors nowadays--snow igloos aren't really my thing.

[nocturncoat]

Yeah. Won't catch me trying - I grew up in the tropics.

[faithfullyslain]

Been to the tropics. Had to rassle an alligator th'size of a horse on steroids--didn't really like my trip all that much.

[nocturncoat]

Don't blame you. No gators in Hawaii, though. They can't swim that far.

[faithfullyslain]

Never been. Please tell me it's made of supermodels in Brazilian thong bikinis and suntan lotion because then I'd be so there.

[nocturncoat]

Guess I gotta say yes, huh? I kept seeing aliens everywhere, but I was weird as a kid.

Take my advice and stay out of Waikiki if you can, though; gets invaded by the tourists worse'n anywhere short of Maui.

[faithfullyslain]

All this is over? You're taking me home with you. Wouldn't even mind little green men.

[nocturncoat]

I dunno about with me, but there are ships that can travel between worlds - and I don't mean just normal spaceships - in my universe. Might be able to find you afterwards.

Though eventually I'm probably gonna have to start charging. I think I'd get a lot of business. Technically it's not allowed, but I've never heard by who, and the space between worlds is a big place.

[faithfullyslain]

That'd be one hell of a pickup line, s'all I've got to say.

[nocturncoat]

What, "space is a big place?"

[faithfullyslain]

Or "I've got a spaceship, wanna come see it?" heh.

[nocturncoat]

Oh.
