WHO: Caesar and y'all!
WHERE: The Network
WHEN: 11/24
WHAT: Prophecy post time~!
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any, but I'll update this if need be!

Another year, another wildly dangerous scenario in November come and gone.

[That is how the video opens, the feed focusing on Caesar cooking.]

I hope everyone's been resting and recovering about as well as they can after that. We all deserve a break after that, and thankfully, a break seems to be what's in the cards-- literally, judging by August's readings. He keeps getting the upright Four of Wands, which tends to mean home, community, celebration, stuff that's perfect for the holiday coming up.

Most of the rest of what's been coming up this month reflect that, too--a Santa hat, a snowglobe with a farmhouse at Christmas, a charcuterie board, that song we joke about Mariah Carey defrosting for every year... even the one that doesn't seem especially fitting on the surface--a movie set--kind of fits in. "Bring it on, Hallmark" in Arthur's words.

I suppose we'll see what we're actually in for when the time comes, but... at least it seems like we're in for a break, yeah?

[And right before he turns off the video, he can be heard humming a bit of "All I Want For Christmas is You", the fucking menace.]

I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day, thanks.

[bolledivita]

You're welcome. It's been stuck in my head since we talked about this.

[drewthetower]

Yeah, and I just got it out of mine!

[bolledivita]

[All too cheerfully:] Suffer.

[drewthetower]

I know where you live~

[bolledivita]

That's not the threat you think it is, because I, too, know where you live.

[drewthetower]

I have birds and I can mimic voices.

[This is a threat.]

[bolledivita]

Oh, what a shame, looks like I'll have to find someone else to share some of these baked goods with...

[drewthetower]

You'd never.

...No. No, it's been almost twenty more years, that song can not still be happening every goddamn winter.

[bolledivita]

It is still happening every winter.

[fionnuisce]

The future is terrible.

It's about damn time that one of these things wasn't filled with ominous vague-ry and existential uncertainty.

Perhaps the spirits feel Christmas is important, and seek to hold off their roguery.

[bolledivita]

Tell me about it.

[... Thinking about that second bit, though, and--]

Honestly, that might not be terribly far off. I remember we had a fairly nice month last December, too.

[kowase]

Oh, is that right?
Then perhaps I am not so off the mark.

Even the gods have holidays and times of the year they deem sacred, I suppose.
Perhaps spirits are the same.

kinda amazing there isnt a single doom and gloom while things go boom in there

also I JUST GOT THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD WHY THIS

[bolledivita]

honestly at this rate you're probably going to have to either get used to it or try to override it with something else

at least that's what i'm doing when i'm not inflicting the song on other people

[incendiarize]

cant even say go to hell because weve all been there done that by now

so this'll have to do

I've a query about the Mariah Carey!

...how does one defrost a song?

[beyondtheend]

With the way the city is looking, it sounds like everyone here could use a break.

What do people do here, anyway?

video | un: captainkenway, i did so much research for this one joke

[jackdawvision]

Oh, bloody hell, I forgot how cold winter could get. [Blerghhhh, he hates this, he hasn't been this cold in years, counting the time he spent in prison.]

Who're Santa and Mariah Carey? [Santa Claus did not, in fact, exist in his modern form way back in the 1720s. Sinterklaas, though—that's someone Edward's passably familiar with.] One of them's the big fat red fellow showing up all over the city, I can guess that much. Does he need defrosting?
