For many, the holiday season is such an important part of the year that even the current troubling events surrounding the city won't be enough to discourage them from carrying on with this yearly routine

I wish that safety had been considered before Halloween as well, but...from what I hear, it's always a dangerous time of year, with the nights between sirens growing longer.

[omnilinguist]

Hopefully, a little extra precaution beforehand will go a long way.

[gaveherwings]

So we hope.

[omnilinguist]

And you. What do you recommend?

[deathknellgrell]

CANCEL CHRISTMAS!!!

What a ~good~ idea!

[omnilinguist]

You are attempting to troll me.

Do you mind if I ask what gender you identify with?

[deathknellgrell]

Are you calling me a troll? HOW RUDE!

[ And has only ever heard the word "gender" used in grammatical contexts, so he shrugs ]

I only speak a little French and my Latin's rubbish. No idea what that's got to do with Christmas!

[omnilinguist]

Ah. Beg pardon. I was asking if you identify yourself as male or female.

I'd say let the fools meet their fates, but it would cause too much distress for my colleagues at Skye I fear.

So I suppose we must protect the foolish from themselves.

Unfortunately, protecting everyone will likely be impossible.

Fliers, notices in the news, those might help make the job easier.

Re: Voice:

Of course it will. At some point, people must learn to defend themselves.

It might. May also make it easier for those not of the Darkness to attack.

I didn't mean to rely on just those means entirely. A simple reminder can go a long way.

I'll keep an eye on the network.

The holiday season is a complete waste of time.

[omnilinguist]

Do you not have anyone to spend it with?

[dancing_pierrot]

That's besides the point.

[omnilinguist]

Untrue. The manner in which you answered would indicate that you've had no good experiences with the holiday in the past, most likely due to not having spent it with the right person.

Am I wrong?

I - think it should be encouraged. It's better when people have something good to distract themselves with.

[omnilinguist]

This is true, as long as it doesn't distract them enough that things or people who don't mean well can take advantage.

[goldilocked]

That's a difficult balance to achieve. Planning to enjoy the festivities?

[omnilinguist]

I might celebrate the season with some friends, yes.
