Now that I'm all caught up on you guys ...

... was it always so depressing here, or is it just that time of year when life's rushing to fill that "horrible time" quota?

Maybe the people here just need some cheering up.

[Voice]

[researchin]

Well, yeah, of course! They had a festival just a little while ago, but apparently the mood from it didn't last too long. Shame.

[Voice]

[slickandskilled]

Maybe this place is too morbid for a lasting fun feeling.

[Voice]

[researchin]

Now that's reaaaally depressing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this the last time I was here.

[mutsukabezaka]

Without TRAGEDY there is no GROWTH! Things STAGNATE and the audience grows BORED! The juice of life lies in misery and the eventual overcoming of that misery!!! THE TRIUMPH OF THE HERO!!!

[researchin]

Woah, slow down! I know that tragedies can be interesting and all that, but you have to admit, it gets boring when there's too much of it at once!

[mutsukabezaka]

Ah, but that isn't the climax. It is merely the building of tension! The audience will appreciate the end result.

[researchin]

The audience? What audience?

[chain_smoked]

Eh, it comes and goes. People are also generally pissy lately, too.

[researchin]

Yeah, no kidding ... there's good drama, and then there's too much. This is totally too much.

[chain_smoked]

This one guy had a real stick up his ass the other day.

[researchin]

You mean that demon guy, or someone else?

[holysovereign]

Hmm, everything has it's share of ups and downs, truly. The festival was quite lovely when it went on, and surely there will be another at some time to boost everyone's spirits...

[Voice]

[researchin]

Eee, I hope so! Maybe something for Christmas? The people here are not allowed to frown on the best holiday ever!

[Voice]

[holysovereign]

Hm~? Ah, I see, that must be that holiday that everyone is excited about. From what I've heard, it does sound quite lovely.

[Voice]

[researchin]

Oh, it is! People all gather to exchange gifts and eat and just ... stick around each other. It's really a lot of fun!

[idle_magic]

Did you expect everyone to be happy in a place like this?

[researchin]

Nah, just less mopey.

[idle_magic]

Maybe you can blame it on the weather.

[researchin]

Yeah, I guess so. But c'mon, it's gonna be Christmas soon! Christmas! There's no time to be sad and depressing!
