Voice

[starofchaos]

[Louis' voice is nothing if not completely annoyed. Easter is not one of his favorite times, after all. Not that he has anything against Jesus. No, his problems go a little higher. This kind of thing happens when you're the devil, after all.]

I have been advised to abstain from any long-winded rants on the subject of today, so I will merely say this. Easter is one of the three days I find least pleasant during the modern year and as a result, if you need me, I will be either at a bar in Malkuth somewhere or being distracted by the few beings brave enough to approach me today.

[Namely, some bolder demons.]

...not that most of the inhabitants of this world even remembers what Easter is, most likely. But still. It's the principle of the thing.

Do you have time on your hands yet?

Do you hate bunnies?

[ Not that she celebrates it. On account of being Japanese and not Christian. ]

[starofchaos]

I do not.

[What an odd question.]

[catears]

The modern world made Easter all about bunnies and marshmallow ducks. Frankly, even if Easter was originally a bad day, there's no reason to get grumpy about it now-- it's all about bunnies laying rainbow eggs!

[starofchaos]

If someone chopped your friend's foot off, and they made a celebration all about it, but after thousands of years the celebration became commercialized so that while many people still celebrate it for the religious connotations, people claimed it was all about chocolate rabbits and eggs... would you be less annoyed?

At any rate, you are extremely wrong to assume that it is all about "bunnies". Many people still recognize it as a day of religious importance.

What's Easter? [ because she had to ask. ]

It's an Eastern celebration of the day a murdered demigod rose from the dead.

Most people tend to celebrate with chocolate rabbits.

[omnomsgods]

...And you got left out of the party? That's so sad.

[nie_unschuldig]

Oh Easter, the second bloodiest holiday of the year.

[starofchaos]

Bloodiest? Is battle on that day now a tradition in your world?

[nie_unschuldig]

Something like that. If you happen to be stupid enough to be in the church one of my acquaintances decides to visit on that day. Or the other one.

What's that principle that makes it so bad?

[starofchaos]

...none of your business, I'm sure.

[material_guy]

Touchy. C'mon, I'm askin' about your principles. Makin' a post like this means you actually just wanna go off on how much today offends yours, don't it?

[unknownrival]

Easter and Christmas, and All Saints' Day, I'd assume? Or Epiphany. ...Now I can't decide on the third. Maybe Halloween gets annoying...

I'm not a terribly big fan of bars, but if it works for you today, I suppose I have no right to object.

[starofchaos]

Michaelmas.

[Utterly deadpan.]

[unknownrival]

...that makes sense. Thankfully not that many people wish you a merry Michaelmas when they pass you on the street.

I think.

[heavenscorpse]

That has to do with an old religion, right? Hardly anybody remembers anything about it here anymore either.

[starofchaos]

The religion remains here. Or a variant of it. But yes, you are correct.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't know anything about Easter, so I probably wouldn't know why it bothers you. But I'm sorry. I hope you have fun at the bar.

[secret_heart]

It's...an Earthian holiday...I understand.

[starofchaos]

Yes. An Earthian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of a dead demigod.

[secret_heart]

Yes...I've heard, but it's not something we celebrate here...I understand it's become highly commercialized though.

Yes, I wanted to talk to you about that. We still need to go kill Satan, right?

This is the one about the guy who cast Reraise on himself and told everyone to be nice but got ignored, right? I like my world's holidays better.

[starofchaos]

Yes, precisely.

...a succinct summary indeed. Believe me, he was not such a bad sort. Simply... foolish. I detest his followers a lot more.

[sandinmyboots]

Let's do it. I've been getting all sappy and broken-hearted over this whole rescuing damsels from cueballs thing and I need to go kill things. I'm going to be all twitchy otherwise.

Sounds about right. What booze do you like? We should go out afterwards.
