[ What awaits everyone is the view of an unhappy Integra Hellsing. She's not at all pleased with this weather, not that there seem to be many who ARE, but really, enough is enough. Either or, she's sitting in her apartment as per usual... well. At least this time she doesn't look bored. ]

This weather is absolutely ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it... tell me, does this happen often here? Just as I get my apartment to cool back down, it begins to snow the next day and I have to turn the heater back on.

[ She drums her fingers against the table she's sitting at, her frown deepening. ]

...It's almost Christmas, too. How very strange... when I left my world, we were no where near December. Hm.

[ She glances off to the side -- out the window, as a matter of fact -- before she shrugs and just ends the feed. ]

Christmas is the celebration of the day Jesus Christ was born. With whom am I speaking?

[greatergone]

My name is Shas'la Kais. And is this Jesus Christ a saint of your god?

[Because celebrations of people being born on human worlds where he was from meant....saints.]

[integra_hellsing]

Oh. Hello, then -- Jesus is the son of God. So you were on the right track.

[greatergone]

Son of your god. I know little of your gue'la religion but I do recognize that this person must be important. What day on this calendar was this Jesus person born?

[integra_hellsing]

The twenty fifth of this month. [ This boggles her a bit. Who... who DOESN'T know about Jesus, man? ]

[greatergone]

That day is drawing close. I'll have to prepare myself. [For craziness.]

[integra_hellsing]

You... do understand how it is celebrated, then, correct?

[greatergone]

No. But as long as it doesn't involve killing what you call 'xenos', I will survive.

[integra_hellsing]

No, there is no killing of... anything. Most people exchange gifts to show good will, others up it by going to church to praise Jesus.

[greatergone]

I....see. That's an odd tradition but I don't worship any god.

[integra_hellsing]

People who don't worship him exchange gifts, too. [ She shrugs. ]

[greatergone]

...do they?

[integra_hellsing]

Yes. Yes, they do. Cards, too. It's mainly about being together with family and friends, really.

[greatergone]

......

I have no family. Nor do I have friends here. It seems like it will simply be an average day.

[integra_hellsing]

Perhaps you should attempt to make some friends, then? [ She's one to talk, really. ]

[greatergone]

A lofty goal. Especially in such a short amount of time.

[integra_hellsing]

Don't be silly. You can at least make acquaintances.

[greatergone]

Would you find it easy to make acquaintances with things you had an inherent dislike for?

[integra_hellsing]

...Yes.

[ Been there, done that, man. ]

[greatergone]

I see but I would not. Humans make up most of the people here and I certainly don't like humans.

[No offense??]

[integra_hellsing]

If you don't like them, then why are you even bothering to talk to me?

[ None taken! ]

[greatergone]

Because I had questions. That and...we are taught to not disparage humans for what they are. I may disagree with that but I'll still follow it.

[integra_hellsing]

So you're racist-- or would it be speciest? If that's even a word, that is.

[ Congrats, dude. You've just managed to amuse Integra greatly. ]

[greatergone]

I don't know. I just know that humans started it. All we want is peace but they keep doing their best to declare war. If they hadn't kidnapped one of our leaders, maybe I wouldn't be like this.

[integra_hellsing]

Have you ever considered that the humans here aren't like the ones from your home world?
