Sounds noisy.

...if you insist, Hijikata-san.

I promise to be careful.

That's all I ask.

The network's been quiet lately... Why do you think that is?

[Private | Unhackable]

[candyswords]

I'm not certain. People seem to be wary of the lack of a curse and are keeping to themselves.

I know a few people are out exploring, some are on dates, others are just relaxing. The lack of a visible threat to the peace may have quieted them all down.

That's true, isn't it? Seems like the owls have taken care of almost everyone who's inclined to stir up trouble.

Oh come now, Hijikata-san, it isn't so bad.

[mibu_alpha]

What, precisely, is it?

[inukitake]

Well, in mordern times, it's far more commercial than anything, however...

Shortly after the second world war, Japan began to adopt many western practices, including holidays. Taking the secular aspects of the Christian holiday of Christmas, it is a time for family gatherings, giving to others, and a sort of goodwill towards men.

..."Second World War"?

Tch. People never can stay out of trouble, can they?

Better late than never?

Christmas, huh? Well, from what I could gather, that's when Santa died for our presents, rose from the dead, and then went back home to the North Pole!

Sure is!

[mibu_alpha]

...Westerners have bizarre myths.

That icon KILLS me

[cowboyvision]

I always thought it was kind of neat!
