It's fascinating to see which traditions stick, which evolve, and which are forgotten to time. I dismissed the mistletoe as holiday frippery, but it's still quite popular. I doubt anyone these days could describe a proper La Mas Ubhal without putting it to their smart telephone. I suppose the Christmas tree might persist, though it is quite young. Only three-hundred years before and someone would call you a Prussian barbarian if you thought it proper to hack up some arbor and decorate it with painted toys and sugar ornaments, but the Living seem to enjoy the notion now.

I suggest that those wishing to partake in the festivities take care to watch their belongings, and do not go out alone at night.

There are many who would take advantage of a merry soul, even in this Holy month.

	They are people. They are Living people. Mortals, to use another no-no word. There is a distinction. There are many words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably are many words, but I like Silas. When I know someone's name, I tend to use it. The only distinction, I think, is that there is always, always one between who and what you are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Names hold a power unto their own. And there is a distinction between them and me. I do not call them people because I would not presume to be of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Were you once? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. It was very long ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~It's only been five years for me.~~ What happened to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	It was a fairly typical story. What happened to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	I was murdered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry to hear that. What was your business that the Lady on the Grey passed you by? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	I had "unfinished business", you know? Like they always say. I--I didn't know I was murdered. I thought... I remembered it wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Was it resolved? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. But...I didn't want to go. My friend Mitchell ~~was staked~~ was attacked when the crossover door appeared and if I left I wouldn't have known if he was all right or not. I couldn't leave my friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You will not get the opportunity again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	...actually I did. But I didn't go then either. I don't want to leave my friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	I don't really want to be here either. I miss them. Do you miss where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Not particularly. But I do miss some souls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	like literal souls? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some are Living, some are Dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Are they your friends? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, though one is my charge. I watched over him while he grew up. We had parted ways, but the Tesseract made the distance more severe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe it'll bring him here! You never know! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think I would wish it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas cuppa_tea 2012-12-11 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Why? Is it all right that I'm asking? You don't have to say if you don't want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Annie / Silas somewhatundead 2012-12-11 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	I have a policy where I don't answer questions I don't wish to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
