[sounds more curious than anything] So...what's the big deal about Christmas anyway? Yes, I know how it works and all, but why?

...there are a lot of new feathers, aren't there?

They're annoying is what they are.

Anyway...where're you from?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Everybody underestimates the unfamiliar.

Then, we're even!

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Suppose so.

[voice]

I'll probably start agreeing with that after I start missing work.

From? A city called Edge. There's others from my world here, so you could probably get more basic info from them.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Missing work?

Oh. Well, I haven't met anybody else like you so I'll take your word for it.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

I don't know what the big deal is about it. It's just a holiday that everyone seems to use as an excuse to be nice and cheery around each other.

[perplexme]

Thank you, exactly my point. Not that I mind people being nice but it's just the commercialism behind the whole thing.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a religious part of it too, but most people seem to only think about the gifts and decorations. That's the part that's always bothersome.

[perplexme]

The thing is most people forget about the religious part and skip straight to the fat guy in the red suit. It just seems like a waste of time to find a pine tree, shove breakable stuff on the branches, and then place boxes of materialistic artificial things under it. People spend months preparing for it, maybe even the whole year, and then it's over in the course of maybe 20 minutes.

[Oh, here that, you made her laugh with that comment on Santa.]

Exactly. Those things aren't even supposed to be the main focus of the holiday.

[voice]

[turkofalltrades.livejournal.com]

Sure. I may enjoy my vacation time, but I also love my job.

I don't think you'll ever meet anyone else like me, Roxas. Just letting you know.

[perplexme]

[Very curious now because she's the first one to agree with him who actually knows what Christmas is] What do you think is the main focus then, from your perspective I mean.

[voice]

[perplexme]

What job?

[...sounds rather nostalgic now] You'd be surprised, Reno.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not a big fan of the holidays to begin with, but I think the religious part is more of the main focus. Not that I'm religious or anything, but that's my opinion. The gifts, decorations, and stuff just aren't that important.

[perplexme]

....what's your name?

[voice]

[turkofalltrades.livejournal.com]

I'm a Turk. I used to recruit candidates for a special organization.

Yeah? I don't think the world could take two mes at once.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Bella Swan. What's yours?

[perplexme]

...Bella. You seem to disappear a lot, don't you? [has previously had a conversation with Edward about her]

[voice]

[perplexme]

...don't get me started on special organizations.

Again, you'd be surprised.

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

What makes you ask me that? [Wasn't expecting to be asked that.]

[perplexme]

You're that girl he loves. [kind of just skirting around the question, making his own observations and connections in his mind]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Wait a minute! You found this all out from Edward, didn't you?

[perplexme]

Perhaps. Maybe, I don't really know. It was a long time ago, somewhere around September or so. [Roxas doesn't actually know Edward's name, so he's assuming it's the same guy]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

Well, he's the only one I can think of who might be talking to people about me.
