[And here we have the Iron Bull, holding his communicator like he's taking a selfie. But it's a video feed instead. He's... out in the wilderness somewhere. Dragging a tree in one hand. There also happens to be mistletoe strung between his horns.]

[Behind him is Kaneda. Holding the other end of the tree, covered liberally in pine needles and bits of pinecones and other dead leaves. He looks like he's having a bad time.]

So. I heard you're supposed to bring trees inside for this holiday crap.

[He shakes the tree in his hand. Unfortunately for Kaneda. Who gets jerked to one side, swearing liberally at Bull.]

Check this one out. We got it all on our own. No one else was even out here!

[That's because you're in the forest, Bull.]



((ooc: Kaneda and Bull will both be responding.))

How are her ethics? That's not a metaphor, I've just hit my quota of people who give me grief about mine.

[rideme]

Long as the 'little person' doesn't get hurt? And nobility looks like assholes?

Questionable.

[Stan is going to make a considering noise.] Rich people generally don't need help with that, I've found. Like some of weird instinct you get once you touch enough cash.

[rideme]

Hah! Isn't that the truth. You find someone who isn't ruined by their gold, then keep 'em around.

Rarer than an honest dockworker in Antiva.

[oldstandard]

Does bribery not work there?

[rideme]

It does. Too well.

That and assassination. S'why an honest one's impossible to find.

[oldstandard]

But if bribery works just fine--

Oh. Wait, are you bad at bribery? Is that the problem?

[rideme]

What -- no!

It's a saying!

[oldstandard]

Okay, good. Gotta be well rounded. Tall and looming only get you so far, you know?

[rideme]

I like to think I've got good looks on my side, too.

[oldstandard]

You certainly have that right as an-- involuntary American I guess? [Stan shrugs, as he's not particularly willing on figuring out the proper end to that sentence.]

So do you have a Christmas where you're from or did you just wake up and decide you wanted a tree?

[rideme]

Might as well be something.

Nah, friend of mine mentioned it, and it went from there.

[oldstandard]

Don't get too attached to anything you put on it, edible or not.

Edible because Mabel will probably eat it, and not edible I imagine will be taken care of by your cats.

[rideme]

Yeeeeah... Dipper kind of spilled the news on that front.

Maybe I'll put a bunch of metal shit on it. Cats won't hurt that.
