it's almost christmas! how does it feel to be approaching the holidays when nightfall is approaching so quickly? make sure to spend your time wisely, because you might not be here next year you might be three meters underground!

juuuuuuust kidding! but it's a fun thought, isn't it? people celebrating and putting their holiday lights up, almost as if trying to make us unaware of what is coming. they might as well be trying to brainwash us, huh?

i really hope i can buy some new video games-- what are you guys planning?

[well, ignoring all the nightfall talk-]

Doing some streams and preparing for AGDQ in january, honestly. As well as continue teaching, of course!

...Though, a word of advice. Many here are...touchy about Nightfall, so it may be for the best that you don't go riling up that hornet's nest.

[escardos]

ofc people will be scared, professor. that’s why it’s important to remind them of it; it’d be silly for them to look the other way just because they started putting up christmas lights.

It feels pretty good, honestly. Nothing like mortal peril to put you in the holiday spirit.

I'm not planning anything, as far as I know. It'll be my first Christmas so I don't even know what I should be planning.

[escardos]

that’s the spirit!!!!!!

as for plans hmmmm.... i guess going to see the lights is pretty popular? also, if it snows, then sledding seems like really fun too. but tbh i just like staying indoors. it’s too cold outside lol

Gee, I thought this place was being a little too cheery. /s

But really, Nightfall, getting hit by a toilet seat from the international space station, getting sick - there's really no point in dwelling on the what-ifs of how you might die even for a seer, or else you're missing out on everything, y'know?

Me? I'll probably see mom during the break and maybe learn to use some of my abilities better.

[escardos]

GETTING HIT BY A TOILET SEAT FROM THE ISS WOULD BE THE COOLEST WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also i'm not really worried about dying you know? it's just funny how this school is trying to get us to forget about this when they're pretty much training us to fight in the apocalypse. isn't that kind of funny?

[imitationsoul]

Three meters underground might still be an optimistic assessment - it assumes your body is found, for one. And thus that someone is around to find it, too.

Even a shallow grave would be fortunate when it comes to a death during Nightfall. Though... once we're dead, it won't matter anymore either way.

[escardos]

well i didnt want to ruin the mood for everyone www. but it doesn't really matter does it? tbh, we might just end up becoming food for rats and demons before anyone has the chance to bury us.

isn't that kind of exciting on its own, though?

[alreadyhuman]

people like celebrating!! the decorations are all pretty and fun

you dont have to be mean about it just bc you dont like it (￣ヘ￣)

[ Not that he actually really knows what Christmas is about but this person really seems like the wrong person to ask. He'll ask Lia later. ]

[escardos]

im not being mean!!!! im just bringing up an issue! isn't that part of communication?!

[buddinghopes]

... Cheerful.

Impending apocalypses aside, I'm not exactly planning much of anything. I'll probably be making far too many sweets for people who are staying on campus for the holidays like me. Plus getting some gifts together for my friends.

What kinds of video games would you be thinking about getting? :O

[escardos]

tis the season to be jolly, right?

and aw that sounds nice. why are you staying though? don't have anyone at home waiting for you?

and hmmmm i thought about some rpg games. i've yet to get the nintendo switch, actually! i've been super slow on that!

[strings_theory]

What the FUCK is wrong with everyone coming in lately? What the actual goddamned fuck.

Jesus.

If these dumb bitches want to have their fucking holidays as normal, then let them, I guess. It doesn't do shit to you, does it?

Also, I'm fuckin' going home to visit my mom. Fuck the rest of you.

[escardos]

ahaha did that make you angry? why? which part made you angrier?

but that sounds great! are you going to buy her a present?

UN: Princely

[prince_type]

You really think we're going to die in the near future????? It seems fine to me, everyone seems to be doing a good job of making sure that's not going to happen! Besides, it seems like a depressing thought to think of things that way. Everything can be changed if you put enough towards it and go about the situation properly, I think.

As for, ah, the holidays...

I suppose I'll stay here for them, we don't tend to make a big fuss out of the ones celebrated in Europe over in Japan, after all. [That and he has Other Plans he's not talking to anyone about right now, oops.]

[escardos]

if a hundred people throw rocks at the moon's reflection, they'll never reach the moon. it's kind of the same thing that's happening here. nice sentiment! all for naught, though!

hmmmmmmmmm no one out there in japan that will miss you? no one wants to see you back at home?

un: ornithology

[hawkwardness]

Huh. Cool. Now I know what deja vu feels like. Are you a turtle dude too? Anyway, I'm wondering what you were expecting, if you're not happy with all the angry replies.

I've never thought about holidays before. I'll probably be staying here. Maybe I'll make a couple Christmas cards for people.

[escardos]

hahaha am i a turtle dude? what a weird question!

im not surprised ppl didn’t like it tbh. i think i would’ve been more shocked if you had accepted it! humans are never good with criticisms are they?

that sounds like a great idea though! can i get one?!

UN: Stormflower

[nevernoaction]

I haven't spent a Christmas here before, but I'm looking more forward to being able to buy a present for someone.

[escardos]

oh? for who?

un: supersenses

[infestedcouncilpresident]

Gooooooooo fuck yourself

[Yup that's it]

thaaaaaaaaat would be weird.

You're either a troll, an idiot, an edgelord, or someone who's high on nihilism and thinks they're smarter than everyone else. Maybe all of 'em at once.

I'm sick of smartasses acting like this, that you can't find real joy in living, despite hardship, even in the little things. Trust me. We don't forget what we're up against. But we choose to enjoy our lives anyway. If we didn't do that, we might as well lie down and die right now.

...I'll be visiting my family over Christmas. Enjoying a couple of days together before we get right back to work trying to make sure everyone else will have another Christmas to look forward to. And many more after that.

[escardos]

awww xmas with the family sounds good! hope youre not as grumpy with them as you are here! or did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

[nor_iron_bars]

my plan is p much "the same reckless bullshit i do the rest of the year, but in a santa hat".

also, i'm technically still celebrating festivus from that one time five years ago.

[escardos]

you're so valid and honestly same

but how are you celebrating something for five years?

this is incredibly late but here i am hi tori it's coco

[highelves]

You weren't kidding. :)

I believe the sentiment here is to allow us to enjoy our supposed "last Christmas" before Nightfall occurs. Far too many things have happened in the past couple of months and I think we're deserving of a little rest.

I've never done anything for Christmas before, but I would like to buy some new clothing for myself. I realize that isn't as exciting as video games. :P

[escardos]

i was not!

but that sounds nice! if that’s what you want, then there’s nothing stopping you, right? go wild :D
