The 54th Song

[tangledintower]

I didn't realize Christmas was such a big deal here...I haven't celebrated it like this since I was little...

I guess people do things differently outside the tower for the holidays, huh. That makes sense. Lot's more space out here...

Well, I'm excited! I haven't celebrated Christmas for ages, this should be fun!

Hope I remember what we're supposed to do...I get you all gifts, right?

This Christmas seems to be the one holiday which matches up with one from my world.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Same here! We didn't have Thanksgiving at home...or I don't think we did, anyway. We never celebrated it in the tower...

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

We call it Saturalia in Tamriel.

Tower?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, I lived in a tower with my mother.

I like that name for it. Saturalia. That's pretty.

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Most interesting.

It used to be a holiday that only Sanguine worshippers could enjoy. Many still use it to have parties, but it is also a time of gift giving and appreciation.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I like it better out here. But if Mother ever shows up, don't tell her that.

It sounds nice. I'm really looking forward to it. Is there anything special that you do for it?

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

My lips are sealed.

Nothing special, I'm afraid. Just a simple celebration and gift exchange with family members.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

It still sounds really nice...

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Unfortunatly, with my condition, there were not many opportunities for me to actually buy gifts. But I made due.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Do you think things will be different here?

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Things are certainly different for me here.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

That's not always a bad thing, right?

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Certainly not.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

There you go!

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Or prepare for a killer Santa Claus. Also you're going to want to avoid any and all mistletoe if it starts popping up.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Why? Mistletoe is just a weed.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Were you around for the kissing fever it stirred up last year?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No...why would it cause people to kiss?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

A curse of mortification.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...huh. It doesn't sound so bad...

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Try being kissed with tongue included by a psychopath.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...okay, it sounds pretty bad.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

That and killer bringers of presents is how bad this place tends to get since I first arrived here.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...oh my...

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Always good to be prepared in case something happens.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Got any tips?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Stay aware of what's happening at all times. [Even though he's failed to normally do that himself.] Also you might want to carry some form of concealed weapon on you at all times.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...I can do that.

[Nunchucks, Rapunzel. You must get the chucks.]

Can you fight competently if you get disarmed in some way or form?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I...er...hm. Probably not...

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

...go for the eyes or the groin.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Got it!

Only a matter of time before she starts learning how to German Suplex people

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Don't forget to run afterward, even if the inclination to injure them further grasps you.

*sniffle* I'm so proud of her!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

What if they follow, though?

Rapunzel, the MMA Disney Princess

Get to a large crowd and attempt to lose them there. Attempt to set up a trap designed to hinder, maim, or kill should time and the overall threat level of what's chasing you permits.

That'll teach anybody who messes with her.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. Okay, I'll do that.

I fear for...ummm Facilier or other Disney villians.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Do you even know how to set traps?

This'll show her mom.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I've done it a few times, but they were never...really good.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

I'll give you some diagrams for basic traps if you want.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'd like that, actually, thank you!
