Operation 22 | [Video/Action]
[Video]
[Much like the other bizarre incidents going on as of late with the residents of Genessia, it's not hard for those who may know Gale to notice something's amiss. The biggest giveaway is the fact that there is no visible gray synthetic skin or blue glowing marks on his neck or face- it appeared the man was no longer a cyborg, and as far as he was concerned, he never was one in the first place.]
... while it was quite considerate of whatever Powers That Be to help decorate not only my home, but also my businesses for the upcoming holiday, I would have greatly appreciated it if they had chosen to decorate for a holiday I actually celebrate.
[As anyone could easily see behind him, the penthouse halls seemed to be sufficiently decked, and even the AI system seems to be humming a carol, much to Gale's annoyance. Not to mention the "Yay Family" vibes the holiday seems to emit only rubs salt into the wound for him, as his sisters were no where to be found.]
I also had to go around and move some of the lower decorations because Gunner was getting far too interested in biting at them. I don't want him to be hurt because this place was so painfully negligent.
[He seems to jump a bit as he hears the thud of something getting knocked over behind him. He quickly turns to look over his shoulder only to see his Aerodactyl wandering around, which eases his sudden tension.] Careful, buddy, I know you're not used to being indoors. It's only until the weather gets warmer.
[Thank goodness the noise was just Aerodactyl. Even in his time in Genessia, he couldn't calm his nerves at night. He sighs a bit.]
... that said, some weird decoration placement happened in front of Holy Diver. What in blazes is with these statues of people kneeling around some kid? Even the animals are kneeling.
[He's very obviously talking about a nativity scene, which is something that probably needs to go before the current "incident" comes to an end.]
[Action - All cities (choose your own adventure - December 2nd to 9th)]
[It wasn't out of the ordinary for Gale to be spotted in either Nova, Genessia or Everglade thanks to his clubs, but what was unusual was for him to actually be spotted in Attleton or Fayren. Despite the bitter cold, he hadn't bothered to take his motorcycle anywhere and was choosing to either walk the whole way or use the WayPoints. He would have preferred to be walking with Gunner and Ivy, but the weather was far too cold for him to bring his dogs out for any significant amount of time, and he didn't want to risk anything happening to them. He was dressed rather extravagently and was actually carrying a jeweled sword adorned with snakes at the hilt at his hip, although he did have a gun concealed beneath his jacket incase there was an emergency that needed something a little quicker than a sword.
He might be found at one of his clubs...
-If he's found at After Life, surprisingly he won't be taking the stage for his own amusement. He's sitting in a corner booth with a small laptop and doing some more important club work. He might get up once in a while to shift around some of the Christmas decor so people don't trip on it. He's not even touching the candycane striped poles though. Those were at least funny.
-In Hangar Queen without his usual uniform and is probably giving strange looks to the festive A-10 figures that were now mounted on each of the tables and on the bar counter. He's also making it a point to edit out the obnoxious Christmas music that somehow weasled its way into his playlists, muttering to himself in what sounds like rather angry German.
-At Holy Diver, he'll be giving that nativity scene out in front weird looks, and trying to figure out the best way to get rid of it. He could only imagine it's got some weird religious significance (after all, it was in front of a former church), so he at least needs a respectful way to get rid of it. He's also checking in on the dancers for Heaven's Gate since their wardrobe had some ridiculous additions of skimpy holiday themed outfits. He needs to make sure they're warm and well taken care of.
... or he's just found out and about in the cities, doing various acts of charitable kindness. Buying warm drinks for others (maybe you were the one behind him that he bought something for at Moonbucks), donating some money to some local charities, or tripping up some thief that was trying to get away with someone's belongings. On the 5th, he may be found cradling a homeless cat that he'd found taking cover in a wet box in an Attleton alley, pondering if he should take it home with him.
No matter what day or city he's found in, if he's spotted at night, he'll look more on edge, constantly glancing over his shoulder and his walk is at a much quicker pace. He just wants home quick when it's getting to nightfall.]

[Now he cares even less about it. He rubs the back of his neck and sighs.]
I'd rather it not be there, seeing that I don't know or even remotely understand the religion. Maybe there's a proper religious person I can drop them off to.
[Of course, it's funny that he's even bothering to try to be respectful about some others' religion given that Holy Diver itself is 300% blasphemy.]

[She shrugged slightly.]
Maybe ask around, or if you know anyone who might be religious.

[Which seems to be the fat man. It's easier that way.]
Can't say I know anyone who might be, so I'll ask around Everglade. Maybe there's some other church I can drop it off to.
video;
I mean if there was a church around that city before, odds are very likely there will be at least someone. Just gotta be polite and ask pretty please take this off my hands.

The people kneeling around the baby is because he's the messiah or a messenger from god known as Jesus Christ. It's said that we was born in a manger by a virgin. Which isn't actually true and is just miss translated. The word for virgin and young woman are almost the same.
[Neal knows a lot about history since he's lived through blips of it.]
Video
Huh... so... is this Jesus the same guy as that Santa guy or something? I thought he was just some happy fat man who gives gifts to kids, not some messiah.
[He pauses then.]
... and did people really think a virgin could birth a child? They... do know how that whole thing works, right?
Video
[Neal things it's a little silly but then he's seen a lot of worlds who've believed in a collection of very strange things.
Gale's retort makes Neal smile.]
I think it's the symbolism that they were looking for.
