Well, that was certainly an ordeal if I've ever seen one.

The twelfth month is upon us, and while I'm aware that many of you have your own customs that you may choose to observe at this time, I'd like to check to see if any of you would be interested if I were to share one of my own - and, perhaps, incorporate any of the myriad traditions of those here who wish to revel with me.

For it was deep into the twelfth month long ago when an evil god descended upon my world and sought to destroy all of order and creation, only to be beaten back and sealed away. And thus, every year we commemorate this victory by purging the chaos deep within ourselves to begin the next year anew.

The Feast of Misrule isn't a personal favorite of mine, but my brother and daughters have all loved it ever since they were children. And I thought the same could be said for some of you here.

If you're interested, it involves playing all sorts of practical japes on those who wish to celebrate, as well as spectator combat for those of a rowdier disposition. Making yourself sick with food and even sicker with drink isn't demanded, but it is highly encouraged, as well as whatever mischief and depravity you can come up with. I could go on for ages about the minutiae of the traditions, but I'd rather answer specifics as they are questioned.

If you're willing to help organize such a beautiful disaster, I'd also love to hear from you.

"Purging the chaos deep within ourselves"?

And you accused ME of being in a cult?

[It's water under the bridge but he's really questioning her point of reference with these things now.]

this sounds like the best celebration ever! what else could anyone want? im really interested!

[Fighting, pranks, food, booze, and mischief. That's perfection. Ace wonders already who he could get to do this with him, Sanji is the best cook around, and his brother would be up for fighting and pranking, surely they could get a group of people to cause trouble with in the name of festive fun.]

My home has only one night that's dedicated to mischief in December, but I wouldn't say it's quite at that level, and it's very early in the month. We have Fasching, which is perhaps closer, but that's just before Spring, normally. And it does not involve spectator combat.

If this Feast of Misrule has room for a demonic figure with jangling chains and branches for whipping naughty children and a basket on his back to snatch them away for further punishment (but all in good fun) perhaps I could have him make a second appearance later in the month.

I think it's been far too long without some decent reveling.

What do you need help with exactly? Organizing, or ideas?
