[Someone looks particularly annoyed today... then again, what else is new? She simply stands, her arms crossed, looking around for a moment before speaking.]

I do not think that I will be around here often for the time being. I'd rather this time of year progressed faster than be drawn out due to the time dilation issue. The sooner everyone eats their cake and gets it all over with, the better.

... What time of year? I dunno about you, but summer break just ended for me.

The Christmas season has started here.

Really? Huh.

I've never met Santa. I heard he's a cool guy, though.

I wouldn't know.

So, what, you're not a fan of presents? Is that it?

When I grew up, the idea of Santa hadn't caught on. My parents were very traditional.

I thought traditional parents encouraged that sort of thing. [He shrugs.]

Perhaps in your world. In mine, the celebration is one being slowly imported from overseas.

Oh. Interesting.

It's not really a true holiday, but someday it may be.

You should give it a chance.

I'd rather not. Even if I had someone to spend it with.

It's about spending time with friends and family. And if you don't have any friends, well, you can still look forward to free stuff.

Perhaps in your world. Where I come from it's a romantic holiday.

... What? Really?

No free stuff?

If you have a significant other, I assume that gifts are involved.

Friends usually give gifts too.

It's rather odd to give a gift to someone unless you have feelings for them. I think that's just the reality differences coming through, though.

I can't imagine Christmas being anything like Valentine's Day, but it's your world. Not mine.

[His lips curl.]

I'm Axel, by the way.

[And Pi is very attractive.]

It's not really like Valentine's Day. It's more of a "go out with your significant other" sort of day. Valentine's Day and White Day are mainly gift days.

[Whether she notices or not, she gives no reaction.]

Pi. I don't believe I've seen you around. Are you a regular?

Ah. Yeah, that's different from what I know.

[HE WILL GET THROUGH THAT ICY BARRIER. He's fire, after all.]

Yep. I've been here for a while. It's hard to say how long 'cause of how time flows here, but I've been here since the second adventure started.

Everyone in this place are all from different realities. It's to be expected that our worlds will be quite different, especially culturally.

[GOOD LUCK but at your own risk!]

Second adventure?

Mm.

Yep! Second adventure. Or third. It depends on who you ask.

Communal adventures, or your own experience?

Both. I'm a little new to going on adventures with other people, but it's not bad.
