[ Closed action, Helix ]

[ He's nervous as they head down to the beach, backpack filled not only with presents but with a few choice items as well. Ritualistic. A ceremony he hasn't been a part of for years and that normally requires a month of preparations but here they are in the land of last-minute-surprises and Aidan can't pass up this opportunity. It's as close as he'll ever get to a Winter Solstice celebration ever again and although it isn't a pig being slaughtered and there's no designated boulder here, he'll do what he can with what he's got.

Hands bare and reddened by the cold, he reaches out to grab Helix's hand as they walk. Nervous. Excited. ]

[Video; open ]

Hey, y'all. Happy holidays and uh... and all that. [ Unsure if he did that right. They don't do Christmas where he's from and that's very much the point of this transmission. ] I was thinkin', I bet there's plenty of us that don't celebrate th' way the Wardens've set this up. We've got people from all over the worlds after all, it'd be weird if everyone did it just like this.

How do you do it back where you're from? Do you celebrate... Christmas or is it somethin' else?

Oh, and uh... I'll be doin' a little celebration type thing of my own down at th' beach, if anyone wants to join. Just a little somethin' from back home... bring a cup, if you're comin' down.

[ Action; open. Aidan can be found down at the beach together with Helix. They've set up a fire in one of the fire pits and anyone interested will get an introduction to the godless earth-worshipping religion that Aidan is a surprisingly devout follower of. He can also be found scurrying over the dome throughout the day, delivering GIFTS to friend and foe alike! If your character isn't on the list but has some kind of CR with Aidan, feel free to assume they got something useful and generic like a pair of gloves or a scarf! ]

	Shut up. I don't got family. [Caliborn staggers to his feet. The downside of being chained up in a laboratory your whole life is that, no matter how familiar you are with the look of sand, actually standing on it is a whole other matter. Especially while drunk.] [He slips around a bit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Not laughing. Not laughing for a second. This is not funny. Shut up. ] ...What's so bad 'bout family? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not dignifying that question. With any answer. [Caliborn sways in place as he tries to figure out how to work his legs without falling over.] [And then dignifies the question while he's processing his limbs.] Your- your "cultures" and "societies." Working together. Getting along. Cherubs don't have that crap. We don't need that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huh. [ A bit of a pause for effect. ] That's weird cause I could've sworn you were enjoyin' yourself whenever we did stuff together. Like... like weedin' or playin' video games at th' arcade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Caliborn points at him. He pauses not for effect, but to come up with the best possible rejoinder.] Shut up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[If he weren't so flustered and mad right now, Caliborn would be happy about Aidan doing what he says.] [He can't think of much else to say or do with this situation, lest he give the appearance of proving the human right, so he just gives Aidan two middle fingers (albeit awkwardly because of the cup in his hand), and then turns to walk away.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
