It's that time of the year again, isn't it?

[Have a mildly unimpressed dhampir making a face in regards to the Guardian debates. While he hasn't been keeping a close eye on the event, he certainly can't believe he's been in Genessia long enough to witness another change of hands. It's a little...humbling. Why? Well, Augustine never expected his stay in Genessia to be an indefinite one.]

Lovely. Now we sit back and listen to the candidates spout endlessly about working for the greater good and all that nonsense. The usual campaign pageantry we're used to by now.

[Well! A certain someone is feeling quite cynical today despite looking quite handsome in an all black ensemble. There's hints of red here and there but it's all so discreet.]

In any case, I'm in need of some holiday cheer. So, I was wondering if anyone is interested in decking the metaphorical halls with me, preferably with candy canes and eggnog.

[Knowing him, he's mentioning the eggnog loaded with alcohol.]

Although, this begs the question...who actually celebrates Christmas here? [Good question, right? Augustine is actually curious about this.] So many of us hail from various different worlds and such, so is Christmas honestly a holiday that is celebrated largely here?

Or does it go by other names, perhaps? I know I heard someone refer to it as "Starlight" before.

[He pauses.] I forgot whom it was but that's a rather festive name.

Who: Leela & [Open]
What: Arrival
When: Now
Warnings: Fire and a stabby warrior 




( some necklaces are terrible things )

[Well, that sucked, waking up in a new place for the umpteenth millionth time. But this time it wasn't some planet to be conquered or waking up in what was essentially Hell. Given the information presented to him, as despite the appearance he was still keen to learn what the hell was going on in his surroundings, this wasn't... some new brand of Hell for him. Huh.

Which might be why that screen is flicking on with the appearance of this man probably being a little more intimidating than most. Even if he's merely got his arms crossed and leaning against a wall of a building not far from the Bay.]

Useful information to have right out of the gate, appreciated. But two questions extra.

One: Anyone know the logistics of being, what I can only assume, alive again? I seem to have the whole flesh and blood and breathing thing again but I'd rather not press that luck in case there's a catch to it.

Two: Nearest clothing store, this weather is garbage and clearly this isn't doing anything to help with the temperature.

[The video opens up to show a blue-haired woman with blue and white feathers on the sides of her head, looking particularly annoyed. She was decked out in some "interesting" garb, very much not suitable for the winter weather. It wasn't in the shot, but she was also holding a red long haired wig in one hand.]

Don't these spirits know it's rude to interrupt a lady while she's working?

They couldn't even have waited until after I changed? It's doubly rude to make a girl walk through ice cold water in this.

[Not that she should expect politeness from random abducting beings. She pouts while trying to hide her shivers.]

Oh- Caelestis and Kamille, if you're out there and hiding, you're both in big trouble.

[Her boys are gonna get a good scolding if they came here without her! She puts on a smile then.]

Now, since I have to get reacquainted with this world... where's a good clothing store to start with? I can't go around dressed like this the whole time, after all.

Oh, and... Troy and Allen, you two aren't still here, are you?

[She had some hopes up for some kind of familiarity, but she's not holding her breath.]

[A: Everglade - Streets]

Zamasu has reached that point where he does not really have a place to go to. And he cannot get back to the place he knows and contacting Gowasu is absolutely impossible. It is quite obvious that he really dislikes it here and what he dislikes most of all are those mortals who do dare to approach him. The type that speaks to him as if he is beneath them. And the last time he checked gods were far above mortals.

"You demand what from me?"

There is a hint of disbelief in his voice when they ask him to hand over the earrings he is wearing. And after that he decides not to wait or to debate over how bad it is to raise a hand against them. For a moment he narrows his eyes, raises a hand and suddenly the culprits find themselves being blown away. One slams into a house and the second tumbles through the streets until they get up and start to run.

Well, no, there is no running away now...


B: Everglade - Holy Diver]
The first thing that tumbles right through the door is a man. The one that follows is an angry looking Kai who is quite determined to make sure that this particular sinner will receive his punishment. Now he would not dare to kill. Killing is pretty much a taboo. But his anger is real and to him acting like this is more than righteous.

And really, he does not care that he is entering a building full of mortals and to be fair, he does not care about the ruined door either.

"It is not that you can escape a god's justice."

Zamasu speaks with a firm and very stern tone.
