[ video ] december 18th; afternoon
[The video feed opens to a stern, no-nonsense frown.]
Good afternoon, Death City. I am aware that many here are already indulging in the typical "festivities" of the holiday season. However, I would like to bring several items to the attention of our citizens.
[A sheet of paper is lifted for him to read off of. Not that he needs to, he has all these points memorized: it's more for levity's sake. And to be more of an ass, possibly.]
First of all, while I am certain these little "get-togethers" have of course been approved by the local building managers, I might remind those responsible for these gatherings that quiet hours are between 10pm and 7am on weekdays and 11pm and 9am on weekends. Please be certain to plan your events accordingly so you are not causing a disturbance to your neighbors. Secondly, there are a number of citizens with allergies that should not regularly be exposed to irregular plant life. That being said, the application of mistletoe in public locations should be limited or outright avoided.
[A serious glare is offered to the camera. Oh yes. He is getting sick and tired of dodging those stupid plants.]
Also I might remind our citizens that the point of the approaching holiday is not to "drink and be merry," so to speak; it is a holy day, and I would recommend a visit to the local church to pay one's respects. Christmas Day is indeed a day of obligation and should not be overlooked.

This message is most assuredly directed at you as well General. And I ask that you do not even consider continuing your bizarre tradition. You know exactly of which I speak.

I realize this may be an inappropriate request, sir -- but respectfully, I ask that Allen Walker and myself be permitted absence from our shift on Christmas Day. We will have mass to attend and- [He pauses briefly.] -I wish to allow Walker a chance to celebrate his birthday. I will work extra shifts the week of the holiday if it will be of any assistance to you.
