9th piece ♔ voice

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles' English accent comes through the communicator succinctly after a polite clearing of his throat. There's been an incredible amount going on, both in his own life and others' as well as in the City, and he'd love any excuse to take a breather from it all.

The holidays, as it so happens, are the perfect one with which to do just that. ]

You wish to have a tree?

[grooviestmutant]

I hadn't said that -- though I suppose I ought to.

Whichever you prefer.

[manlytear]

[ He shrugs. ]

I will not object.

[ but he will silently judge you for your pagan shrubbery ]

[grooviestmutant]

[ what a dick

he just hates love and fun ]

You're welcome to decorate in whatever manner you desire, you know.

[manlytear]

How much decorating do you expect from me?

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles blinks a bit at that, and then he rolls his eyes. ]

However much you would like. Then again, if you prefer that we not enjoy the holidays at all, I will not expect anything from you. [ A smirk. ]

I only mean to keep myself busy.

[manlytear]

I bough a menorah.

[ what else is he even supposed to do ]

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles cannot help but blink. How did he not notice this occurring? ]

There are not additional ways in which you want to dress the house?

[manlytear]

I am still coming to grasps with how commercialized the holiday has become.

[grooviestmutant]

I think it is rather fun.

[manlytear]

I do not understand the confetti.

Or the dog sweaters.

[grooviestmutant]

Y--You have seen dog sweaters?

[ A pause. ]

I believe the confetti is meant for the dinner table. Or a table upon which place settings are ... placed.

[manlytear]

Yes.
Among other things.

[grooviestmutant]

What sort of 'other things'?

[manlytear]

Gaudy sweaters. Cat toys.

Underwear.

[grooviestmutant]

Underwear?
