Monthly Mingle Log

[thalassino]

Is it that time of the month already?

...No, today is not the start of shark week.

The Station Master's taken precautions to make this month's mingle party nice and laid back, after that rather magnetic week. Today, locals are all over the Plaza starting to put up the decorations for this strange holiday known as "Christmas", and they're more than happy to cheerfully rope any foreigner who doesn't look too busy into helping them.

The food tables are back, albeit with more drink than food. Hot chocolate, gluhwein mulled wine, a huge bowl of fruit punch, you name it, it's there. Foodwise, there's snowflake shaped crackers with cheese and meats, shrimp cocktails, cups filled with green or red jelly, and plenty of cookies to go around.

Near the food tables are the two usual booths, one belonging to the Welcoming Committee, armed with all the information a newbie would want to know, and the other belonging to the Host Club, manned by all the male eyecandy you could ever need. Have they done something special for their booths this festive season? Better sashay their way and find out!

Walking around all the tables and booths is what looks to be a giant lobster(???) in a Santa suit handing out candy to anyone and everyone nearby. It seems the locals don't understand that it's "Santa Claus", not "Sandy Claws."

Finally, it looks like there's been a new addition to the plaza. Was that ice skating rink over there last night?? It certainly fits the theme, and the locals don't seem to be surprised. They'll even help you lace up those skates and take them for a spin. Bundle up and try not to fall too much!

Of course~. Some of them I even created.

[It's simple once you understand the underlying principals behind space travel.]

I can work with that. Though we would probably have to go up to the island then.

[fulmination]

...I suppose one can do quite a lot with twenty thousand years on their hands.

_{[You future people are so strange.]}

I've already had to use it here within the city when I was attacked by one of the other foreigners and the damage was repaired overnight, so perhaps that would be best if you're interested in its full potential.

[crabbygenius]

You got that right.

[And you people from the past are just so much fun to mess with.]

Then we should figure out a time for this little demonstration of yours.

So how extensive was the damage that was repaired?

[fulmination]

You'll have to tell me about what lies beyond the stars, then. Equivalent exchange.

_{[His life.]}

Since I can localize the damage, I'm sure it only took out a building or two. I didn't stick around long enough due to my opponent having a near arsenal on him at the time.

[crabbygenius]

Of course~. Though it might be a little overwhelming for you.

[Of course.]

Oh? Who were you fighting?

[fulmination]

Then we'll just have to take it slow if it's too much at one time.

A Lombax by the name of Ratchet. If you know an Alister Azimuth, well... They're the same species.

[crabbygenius]

We can do that~.

I've talked to Alister Azimuth a few times. I wasn't aware that there were more of his kind here.

[fulmination]

He apparently has a daughter as well, but I don't believe I've met her. ...I'm not even aware if they're all still here or not. Regardless, they're an interesting species.

[crabbygenius]

Interesting to note. I wonder how many other family units get brought to this place.

[fulmination]

I have one here--my nephew.

_{[Well really that's just a disguise to keep things from being too suspicious. Their relationship is pretty much just work-related.]}

[crabbygenius]

Then I'd say you're one of the lucky ones~.

[fulmination]

Sometimes I think the same thing. I just worry about him sometimes what with how this city behaves. I'd feel horrible if anything happened to him.

_{[Kimblee that is the biggest lie you've ever told.]}

[crabbygenius]

Most people would feel this way about child relatives.

[Though now she's curious to meet this nephew of his.]
