тридцять | Thirty Holidays

[motheringnation]

Ah....w-well it's another holiday coming up. Remember if candy appears in your house, it m-might be a good idea not to eat it. They're probably poisoned or make you act differently ...or make you stalk and break into peoples houses and watch them sleep....also glitter

ah....Things like that.

Oh, that reminds me. I thought it would be nice if

[Hey. Hey Ukraine. Guess who speaks Ukrainian. Guess.]

Oh, that's such a lovely song, Miss.

[motheringnation]

[Oh my god you are her favourite person ever. But until she understands that she just smiles, assuming you mean the tune.]

O-oh...thank you.

.....you understood it?

[heartmaestro]

Most of it, yes. I have not spent as much time on Ukrainian as I have with English and French, but I know enough to understand those who are fluent.

[Said with no bragging at all whatsoever.]

[motheringnation]

[All the smiles now. And have some Ukrainain]

Really?! I haven't met anyone who wasn't from home who could speak it! That's wonderful.

What country are you from? You're not from Ukraine are you?

[Because that would be wonderful.]

[1942 was bad. Other years were worse, but 1942 was still pretty bad. He's not sure what exactly to say to that, so he just goes with:] Are you okay?

[motheringnation]

I-I'm f-fine....

[No she's freaked out a bit. WWII was particularly hard on her after all, and she doesn't want to be reminded of it.]

[webfreedomftw]

Sometimes you're not so great at lying, you know.

[motheringnation]

......

I'm n-never good at lying....

I like the idea of celebrating holidays other then strictly American ones...I don't celebrate a lot of American holidays anyway.

Which ones would you like to celebrate, miss Ukraine?

[Phone]

[motheringnation]

Any one's people would like to. I'd like to maybe celebrate the Christmas we celebrate in January at home. That would be nice.

[Phone]

[tapshoetomove]

You celebrate Christmas in January?

You know, with everyone here being from so many different places, I bet we could have a holiday almost every day.

[Phone]

[motheringnation]

Yes! January 7th!

[She laughs.]

You know....I bet we could. People might get tired of holidays if we had one everyday though.

[welljustwatchme]

That's... [Really, truly awful and she doesn't want to run into him, because it's not like the others who have moved past the prejudices and sides of the war. Canada's voice is a little quieter and more high-pitched than usual.]

That's useful. Th-thank you for telling me.

[motheringnation]

Y-you're...welcome. I-I thought you'd w-want to know.

[After all...you're still from a similar time...and you know why Ukraine is freaked out now...]

[welljustwatchme]

Yes. That's a good thing to know beforehand, even if I don't know the Germany you do. [Which makes it so much harder to avoid him.]

He... he didn't say or do anything to you, did he? I mean here.

[motheringnation]

A-ah...no....he thought when I was telling him about this place though...th-that it was an "allies trick" ...wh-which is wh-what made me ask what y-year he was from....but he d-didn't really do anything.

[She's still a little panicked though.]

There's quite a handful of holidays that aren't American, such as Guy Fawkes' Night held on the Fifth of November, ANZAC Day, All Saints Day, Chinese New Years, Boxing Day and more. It'd really have to be up to the people to see what they'd prefer.

[ phone ]

[motheringnation]

Exactly! And that's just the one's from earth. Lot's of people come from other worlds. I'm sure they have holidays too.

[notalwystrthful]

Well, there's a few Epyaxain holidays that we could celebrate.

[motheringnation]

Epyaxain?
