[ This is a video post! But you don't actually see the scruffy guy talking this time, aside from maybe parts of mechanical limbs and a trail of cigarette smoke—yeah, some cyborgs can pull of tricky feats like broadcasting what they see with their own artificial retinas. Cool shit. He seems to be looking outside the window—not a whole lot of festive decorations in the street, phew—, so probably nothing interesting here for you guys, which means you're more or less forced to listen. ]

So, Christmas. Doesn't seem to be a big deal in this time and place compared to 21st century America, which I'm actually kinda grateful for. Bigger problems, after all... [ Because wow Christmas sure sucks when your family is dead and you don't have a partner. ] Bet the majority of you don't even know what it's all about. Personally I just care about eggnog right now -- and so should you if you like having something good to drink.

[ Priorities. Adam's downplaying this a lot but he still got a select few people gifts... speaking of gifts. ]

Oh yeah, I think somebody forgot this at my place...

[ And with this, he means a black lace C cup bra, which he's dangling in front of his own eyes. ]

Unless this is supposed to be a gift. I'm not sure what to do with it. Might wanna come here and pick it up before I get rid of it or give it to someone else -- it being Christmas and all.

[ Adam sounds remarkably indifferent despite the implications. He's so gonna get spanked for this and that's actually exactly what he wants AHEM. Anyway, there's a private text message tacked onto this later—for Vanadi. ]

You too.

[ Yeah, just that. ]

... A man who fails to recognize a bra.

WHAT NIGHTMARE PLANET DO YOU COME FROM!?!?!?

Re: [video]

[priad]

Ithaka. And it is a feral world, not a death world, thank you. [ There is something almost like primness to his voice. ]

B... But... To not have that basic understanding of women's undergarments...

*Her brain's too broken to care about the difference.*

[video]

[priad]

I rarely see women. What of it?

Re: [video]

[have_hat_will_travel]

...

Again.

What kind of crazy world are you from?!

[priad]

Ithaka, and lately, Charybdis, the fortress-moon.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Fortress planet?

Huh.

[priad]

Fortress moon. [ He corrects, primly. ]

It orbits Ithaka.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... A moon-size fortress?

Wouldn't you need an entire civilization's logistics to make that work?

[priad]

My civilization spans the entire galaxy.

[have_hat_will_travel]

No, no, what I mean is, you'd need at least several million people to handle all the logistics of something that large before you even put the first dedicated soldier in.

Wouldn't you?

[priad]

Yes, but once established, it can last for thousands of years. And defend an entire star cluster. With the Munitorum, the Martian Priesthood, and the support of an Astartes chapter behind it, the Imperium has achieved far greater works than simply fortifying a moon.

Take Cadia, it is a star system entirely given over to defensive fortification against the Eye of Terror.

[have_hat_will_travel]

...

Huh. The human civilizations in my world aren't spread out nearly far enough that such would be necessary...

[priad]

On one world they would not be.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Sheeesh. Things must be pretty bad if it is necessary...

[priad]

There is only war, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Meh. I've had enough war for one lifetime where I'm from.

[priad]

There's always enough war for each lifetime. [ That's rather the point of it, from his perspective. ]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Maybe for a soldier, but not for a bard.

[priad]

You are a remembrancer?

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I play music that causes people's weapons to channel lightning.

So maybe?

[priad]

That wouldn't be the first time I've seen that. And my claw does that anyway.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Then my music just adds more lightning.

Awesome how that works huh?

[priad]

I suppose. [ He doesn't sound convinced. ]

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Name one situation where lightning's part of the solution, that isn't better solved with more lightning.
