oh look it's time for the most commercialized holiday of the year. it looks like the city is getting ready to celebrate too. Yay. Exciting. :|

I don't suppose anyone is NOT celebrating Christmas and would like a pizza party instead? At home, we have pizza (because all the restaurants close on us) and I was thinking it would be nice to just hang out and pretend Christmas doesn't exist.

Invites go to anyone who says bah humbug.

I have surprising restraint when I want to. After all, I was hoping you'd talk cute about me.
Really, Herm. Too much to ask?

[mathemagier]

When I know you're simply waiting for me to inflate your ego, it is a bit much.

for the record for Kamala/whoever might be reading because I always forget [ID: Newton Geiszler]

[driftsintobuffetline]

I'm not going to give the comeback I really had in mind for this, because (a) I don't know how old Ms. Pizza is and (b)

I don't actually have a (b), but (a) should spell it out nicely enough.

I need to remember that

[mathemagier]

Wise, seeing as she's 16 years old, so thank you for your discretion. I'll assume it was appropriately clever and charming.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Ah, look. There are some of my good qualities: clever and charming. <3
That wasn't so hard, huh, Herm?

[mathemagier]

Selectively charming.

[He's not debating the clever bit though]

And it really wouldn't kill you to type out the last three letters of my name before everyone believes I share your fondness for being referred to as a sort of semi-aquatic creature.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Highly selective. Only for you.

How about something more seasonably appropriate: Hermey~ (He wants to be a...a dentist!)

[mathemagier]

[And there he goes, being legitimately charming. GDIT Newton, this is an argument]

No, that's even worse. I won't be surprised if one day you decide to shorten my name to simply the first initial.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Dr. Gottlieb, I think you're trying to get me in trouble. I'm just going to say "I won't do that" and leave it at that.

[mathemagier]

[And there he goes, ruining it just as quickly. Still, the implications are interesting]

Perhaps I was.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Terrible. I hate you. I'm going to spend Christmas with Ms. Pizza.

[mathemagier]

As a Christmas-celebrating American, I don't think you qualify for an invitation.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Hey now. I'm an Atheist. Let her decide. Anyway, Hermann, if you object to the nondenominational string lights and gifts, fine! I didn't want to "celebrate" with you anyway.

[bestversion]

uhhh I'm not sure if I should be involved here.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Uh. Sorry.


HERMANN STARTED IT.

[bestversion]

is that how you talk to your significant other? ARE YOU KILLING THE ROMANCE.

[driftsintobuffetline]

OH! Is that how he's billing himself nowadays??
Anyway, the romance would have to be alive before I could kill it.

[bestversion]

no, it's how he billed you. and you're not doing a good job of showing it.

[driftsintobuffetline]

oh. OH. ...Okay, yeah, no, that's cute.
What would you suggest? Serenades and roses?

[mathemagier]

I most certainly didn't.

[bestversion]

you're sure he's romantic?

it sounds like he's trying too hard.

[mathemagier]

Now I never said that. Arguments could be made for charming, but again, selectively.

[driftsintobuffetline]

I AM NOT "TRYING TOO HARD"!!

[mathemagier]

You don't have to be Christian to celebrate Christmas. You simply have much more holiday spirit than what Miss Khan is looking for at her party. I never said I objected to your decorations.

[driftsintobuffetline]

It's not like I'm going to wear two pairs of headband antlers or something.

Uh huh.
