142 Near Disasters

[cal_sitter]

No alien invasions, no children stolen through chimneys, no major explosions ... yet. I think I'll wait until midnight to congratulate the City on observing a quiet holiday.

Lux is open this evening for those of you who'd like to get out for a little while. The bar closes at the usual hour.

People should definitely come by Lux, because now I know how to make a drink that is on fire.

It does seem to have gone rather smoothly, so far, though, doesn't it? The holiday.

[cal_sitter]

Just don't set off the fire alarms.

It has.

[unhexed]

Of course.

You seem quieter than usual.

[cal_sitter]

I'm just busy. We're short-handed tonight.

[blackeyedskank]

Knock on wood.

[cal_sitter]

I'd rather take more useful precautions.

[blackeyedskank]

Like what?

[cal_sitter]

That would be telling.

[browning_baby]

You are coming with us tonight, aren't you?

[cal_sitter]

I'm not sure I'm in a position to refuse.

[browning_baby]

I could always drag you if you say no?

[cal_sitter]

You could try.

It was kind of weird (and kind of sad) that the first normal Christmas we've had is in the City, right?

[cal_sitter]

What's your definition of normal in this case?

[1inageneration]

Not having our lives threatened by zombies, shumash tribe warriors, vampires or demons?

[cal_sitter]

Then I'd say your Christmas has been a rousing success.
