Y'know, going up in space, visiting other worlds is supposed to blow your damn mind. The idea's that you're exposed to stuff so unreal, so beyond believin' that it's alien to you.

So why exactly are we celebratin' Christmas in space? Feels kinda weird, to be honest. But I guess capitalism and commercialism is a universal concept.

Still, though. Kinda gets me thinkin'. How do you celebrate your holidays where you're from? Don't tell me about Christmas though. We all know about Christmas.

Nope. Got pulled to a different world about a year ago. Then got pulled from the world I was on here.

This is entirely within the kind of shit the Rifts on that world were capable of, so I shouldn't really be surprised.

What kind of world were you at?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Eh. Some magic experiment - we were getting closer to figuring out what - destabilized the world, causing wild 'rifts' to open everywhere. The native population was sealed somehow because of this, leaving those pulled into the rifts - like myself - to figure out how to stabilize everything.

We, uh, were working on it. And then I wasn't. Because I'm here.

Which I'm still trying to avoid thinking about too much.

That's fair. It sounds like you've got a lot on your mind, with all of that going on.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Part of the challenge is putting it out of mind now that I can't do anything more about it.

And just. Figuring out what I'm going to do here. Talking about stuff like this is at least part of that - there's enough people here that there's a lot of cultures and stories behind them to observe.

You gonna put it to song?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Sometimes I do!

... Or I did, uh, years ago. The music styles here are kinda. Different. I really hope that song that was on the cursed music boxes isn't TOO normal a sample.

What song was it?

[have_hat_will_travel]

I think it was called 'Last Firalia'. Performed by a group called Blam?

Apparently there's some joke about how overplayed it is around here...
