She seems slightly distracted before looking towards the voice.
"Oh hello, I was calming the soul of a man who had recently died. He wanted to tell his son he was sorry yet never got a chance. Sorry, my business tends to be a bit gloomy. Are you enjoying the Holliday season?"
English
-
Trust me, I know gloomy. I was a god living in the Underworld. And yes, I actually am enjoying it for once.
-
"That is good. I usually reside in the afterlife so this holiday season has proven to be quite interesting. I still do not understand the chopping down of a tree and bringing it inside ones residence"
-
Well, it was originally a Paganist tradition where they would bring in young pine trees to keep their life, sort of a pity thing
-
"Interesting" She then looks over at the man sticking stockings on people's heads. Her face showing her confusion. "And it's traditional to put large socks on people's heads?"
-
It's traditional to hang stockings over a mantle. Not... Not this...
-
"To dry them from the snow?"
-
I believe that's where it started, but nowadays a man named Santa comes into your house, filling them with toys
-
"Filling socks with toys.... what an interesting tradition. Perhaps I should visit the living more often."
-
Yeah... Of course, when others celebrated Christmas, I was doing other things, since I'm not Christian
-
"Oh? Then what do you celebrate?"
-
Until now? Nothing. My father is a god to a different religion. A religion that I haven't had the best memory of
-
"How unfortunate, I've been in the afterlife bringing calmness to the dead so I know very little about the traditions and religions of this world. Your father is a God you say?"
-
Yes. His name is Garuud, God of the Underworld and Disciple of Flame to Deus
-
"Hmm, I've heard that name, I believe the lord of dead mentioned him."
-
Hmm? Oh, right. He is, uh, an ass, so to speak
-
"Unfortunate, perhaps he will be surpassed sooner than not. I've even heard of a twisted man interested in taking the throne of the underworld for himself."
-
Yeah, it was me.
-
"Interesting, well I wish you the best of luck" Outside of the corner of the eye Gerald can be seen trying to sneak up with a stocking at the ready.
-
*He smiles, forming an iron ball and throwing it into Gerald's stocking, knocking him back*
-
Gerald stumbles over falling into a seat. He looks in the stocking chucking to himself. "Well well, looks like I have balls of steel" And then wanders off looking for his next target. Ash looks at he strange man. "Is he always like this?"
-
I don't know...
-
"Well he does seem quite festive though perhaps a little strange"
