[The feed starts and viewers are greeted to the sight of Raikov attempting to put little booties on Katya's feet. She already clad in a tiny scarf. Dat Joltik has sum style.]
... I'd take the crazy weather over terrorist-like attacks any day. Things might be quiet for now but who knows how long that'll last? Was it like this in any of the previous years?
[Because he really hopes this isn't a repeating offense. This place was supposed to be war free... It just doesn't feel right. He'd never admit it out loud but that weapon Cobra showed last week has him worried. The last thing this world needs is a nuclear super weapon or something like it.
He lets out an exasperated sigh. Always the drama queen. Katya just chirps and tilts her head.]
I've been meaning to ask a few other things as well.
For the pokemon that evolve via stone, when do you know is the "right" moment to give them one? Is there ever one...?
How difficult are the routes to travel during the winter?
And lastly... Why the hell is everyone doing their holiday shopping so early? New Years isn't for another month and a half.
[Someone isn't aware of "Christmas" outside of the Motherland. Oops.]
[Private to Scar//Unhackable;]
Hey. Is Kashet doing any better? Natasha's mood has been improving since their play date. I think it really helped her. Perhaps we should get together for another. Do you like tea?

I don't really celebrate it myself, honestly, and I wasn't raised to have any beliefs like this in the first place. But supposedly there's some person who keeps track of whether children have been halfway decent all year - a rather pointless endeavor, if you ask me, because children are hideous little beasts no matter how well-behaved they supposedly are - and if they have, then that individual leaves them all gifts that night. Via a sleigh that's drawn by flying reindeer, because if we're going to do this we're going to do so as ridiculously as possible.
It's also got something to do with displays of goodwill and peace on earth and...again, a whole mess of religious things that I don't believe in either. I don't know, I find the whole thing insipid.

You just described New Years though. Which tells me... "Christmas" is the bastardized, American version.
[Because clearly Russia's holidays are better.]

[Alfred, that's not the point.]
Either way, think what you want, though I wouldn't say that out loud to anyone - there are several countries and at least one major world religion that will vehemently disagree with you.

[Grumblrgrumble. Details, details.]
Even with the terrorists, I doubt me spouting off anti-capitalist remarks is going to start anything serious in this world.

Oh, you're going to love the entire Christmas season. The secular version that most seem to celebrate around here is a commericialist extravaganza and more or less a tremendous love letter to capitalism.

No, not really but Raikov pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.]
Great. Just how I wanted to spend my holiday season... Dealing with shit my country's completely against.
