Hello everyone,
My name is Flora, for those that might not know. It's nice to meet you. [Yeah her posts are tagged as such, but propriety etc etc] I know that there is a lot going on right now, so, if anyone needs anything--fruits, veggies, or other things--we could work out an...exchange perhaps? [She suddenly looks mildly uncomfortable, almost wincing at the word "exchange" in particular, but then she is smiling again, with gentle sincerity] If you don't have anything to offer, please don't worry about it, just try to pay it forward to someone else that might need help, if you can.
Secondly, Christmas is coming up, and other holidays too, it seems? We don't have them where I'm from, and while Christmas, at least, means the world to someone I know, I'm still learning about it, I suppose.
There is something I have been wondering, though?
[Flora's eyes sharpen with intellectual curiosity, and as she cradles her chin between her thumb and forefinger, it's obvious that the next words she's about to utter have been given the utmost, perhaps even reverent, consideration.]
Could someone please tell me more about Santa Claus? He sounds like a really powerful man with his Christmas magic.
[is she joking is she not we just don't know]
Thank you.
[Anyway, she cuts the feed.]

I'm hearing it has to do with religion, a little, at least a bit, but Santa seems to come from a lot of different places...mostly I'm hearing that he's mythical, but what makes something a myth can be a lot more subjective than a lot of people think. I'm wondering if he's in this world at all.

Maybe we should try asking the Exiles about it. At worst they'd slam their doors in our faces, but they already do that half the time.

Maybe they'll be a little nicer during the holiday.

[ He considers the small handful of natives he'd had a decent relationship with a scarce few months ago—children, mostly—and feels yet another twinge of regret. ]
Trust is something earned, after all.

[Wow demon dude, so nice!!]
Things are so different, now, though.
["Now". It's such a layered word, given the circumstances.]
no subject
[ He remembers thinking once that Exsilium's chilly drizzle was endless and inescapable. If only he'd known. ]
More than finding out about Christmas traditions or earning trust, I'd like to find out why things are like this. We know they didn't really like us before, and even then, they weren't this... [ Makes a vague hand gesture, perhaps meant to mean 'vehemently hostile' ]
—Anyway. [ STOP RUINING CHRISTMAS CHRONO ] Sorry, I'm thinking out loud.
