[Peering out of the windows at the bar.]

...I suppose this is the scientist subtle way of saying 'Happy Christmas'?

[Leans back and glances at the ceiling. He's been walking around all day with his eyes glued upwards. He is not getting stuck under one of those if he can help it.]

Any one caught under the Mistletoe yet?

[investigative]

At least it's better than some of their other ideas.

[x_dilettante_x]

Hmmm, well yes. Gaudy decor seems much safer then invasions and well getting dragged here in the first place.

[investigative]

Exactly! It's a lot, but you know, it's kind of nice.

[x_dilettante_x]

I'll give it that much.

Better few then this place has ever had.

[ys_must_die]

What nice thing for them to do. Wonder if there's some sort of catch?

...I'll kill anyone who tries to kiss me under the mistletoe.

[x_dilettante_x]

So far it just seems to be an overdose of Good Cheer.

Ever heard of Murphy's Law my boy?

[dreamgranter]

Don't go asking or else it might come off as an invitation, Carnahan-san.

[x_dilettante_x]

I suppose that would all depend on who picks up that invitation, Yuuko darling.

[dreamgranter]

A secret admirer, perhaps?

[x_dilettante_x]

[He gives a small laugh.]

I highly doubt that, my dear, but so long as it's a pretty lady. I won't mind a bit.

[prodigal_axe]

Subtle my ass...

[Sighing.]

Ain't as bad as last year, I guess. No one's starving to death yet.

[x_dilettante_x]

Don't jinx it old boy, but...it's a nice change of view at least.

'cept for those darling little weeds on the ceiling.

[prodigal_axe]

I guess... it's better that one year. Whole place was covered in just mistletoe.

... but at least I could see 'em easier.

[x_dilettante_x]

Now they're hidden and that makes things far more interesting.

[dontcallmegol]

Nope.

There aren't many I'd want to be stuck under it with this year anyway.

How bout you?

[x_dilettante_x]

I could name a few but...quite frankly their aim with a gun would worry me.

I have been rather diligent in avoiding things.

[dontcallmegol]

{A soft chuckle transmitted here.} That right? Chasing after the dangerous girls eh? I always knew you had good taste.

So I've noticed, I was almost worried they sent you home without letting you say good bye.

[x_dilettante_x]

Not chasing after anyone. Just my luck that most of the women in my life are rather adventurous.

[Now his turn to chuckle.]

You really think I'd have that sort of luck?

but it has been a while; how are you Ace old bean?
