[ The feed, as it is wont to do, flickers on, showing a chipper boy of 13, blue eyes and messy brown hair and--is that a golden laurel wreath on his head? And is he wearing a tunic? And are those wings visible behind him? ]

Hey everyone! My name's Pit. I'm new here! Thought I'd just say hi to all my new neighbors. It's nice to meet you, whoever you are!

What's with the one sock then?

[He is actually interested because... why would she wear one sock if she had two legs?]

I mean... is she a dancer or something?

She's a goddess.

And she only wears one sock because she's a goddess?

What's her name, Terpsichore?

Palutena.

Shit... so she's not the muse of dancing and music, then?

[Shoot. There goes the one sock - goddess - dancer connection.]

What's Palutena's deal then? Howcome she only wears one sock?

I dunno! Maybe she only likes wearing one sock. I never asked her.

Why the fuck wouldn't you ask why she only ever wore one sock?

Pit you have problems, man.

[He sighs,]

One of those problems being that I haven't seen your friend.

You could have just said that instead of making fun of her!

Coulda, woulda, shoulda, man.

I was interested, alright? What's the big problem?

Interested in what?

[ He is eying you Mr. Santa Man ]

Why she only wore one fucking sock. Jesus Christ...

[What is your deal, angel boy?]

So how did you end up friends with a God?

Edited 2012-09-28 22:24 (UTC)

I'm an angel. It's my job. Not to be her friend, but her servant.

Although I guess I am sort of her friend....

H-Huh? You're an angel?! Like a genuine angel?

Are you shitting me?!

...you didn't notice the wings?

[Of course he did, and the thought of angels had occured to him but come on that's not likely, is it??]

What, you've never heard of cosplay?

Do these look like fake wings to you?

[ That would be yes, he has heard of cosplay. ]

You get some pretty realistic fakes, you know.

You wouldn't watch a horror flick and think "oh shit that's a real murder", would you? No matter how brutal and real it is.

Yeah, that's because you're watching a movie. It's totally different in real life! You don't look at a real murder and think "wow that's a fake murder" do you?

What if, and let's just think about this possibility for a minute, what if an accident killed a human and they went un-found for a good few hours, days, minutes, whatever you want.

That would look like a murder to most people, but a detective might be able to look at it and say "wow that's a fake murder" because it was the result of an accident.

So it's not totally different, is it?

...Besides some of those movies are really fuckin' realistic.

That is not even the same thing!

Hahaha!

[Give him a second to laugh for a while before he replies...

Although he was being completely serious, and he would like to think he could tell an accidental death apart from a murder, Santa had only been proposing the question as a slight way of messing with this kid.]

Yeah, I guess you're right. It isn't the same at all.

...Anyway, have you ever seen a murder in real life?

Yes.

[ Santa, you have no idea the things this kid's seen. ]

You ever seen a pretend murder?

A professional one, someone who looks dead but isn't, or a fake body,

Um, I...

[ Ponder, ponder, ponder

For several moments ]

Were we talking about something?

Movies.

[That's not... completely inaccurate, right?]
