So Christmas is coming up, I guess. It's more of a lover's holiday in Japan, but it doesn't seem like it is here? I guess it's more like the American version without the religion.

What sort of things do you guys do for Christmas in your home worlds? I usually just ignored it, mostly, since it's not as big of a deal where I'm from and I wasn't dating anyone. Apparently in other countries eating fried chicken on Christmas isn't a thing? I don't know why it's a thing in Japan, it just is.

I've never really heard about it back home.

[Mostly because seasons in Cloudbank were... nebulous things.]

With the cold weather, fried chicken sounds like a good idea however.

I guess it wouldn't exist in some other worlds, yeah.

Fried chicken is okay, but it's really fattening.

[ladywithnovoice]

All the better to save it for the holidays, right?

text;

[grapeeater]

Yeah, I guess. Though it's important to work it off afterwards.

At least there's plenty of walking to do around here... Although I wouldn't recommend it right now with the weather like it is.

No, I wouldn't go walking around in this either. And my main mode of transportation on the routes is my Rapidash, and she's not thrilled with the cold weather even if she has a type advantage.

My Arcanines feel similar. And the Onix I have unfortunately does have to deal with the type disadvantage...

[grapeeater]

Mine, too, but I mostly have her out for making a barrier around us at night on the rare occasions I do travel.

[ladywithnovoice]

So I take it you haven't moved around a lot recently?

text;

[grapeeater]

Not really. I'm not much for traveling.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I guess not a lot of people aren't. Some of my friends here have even found places to settle down in.

You too, I'm guessing?

text;

[grapeeater]

Yes. I've been staying in Goldenrod. You prefer traveling, I take it?

There was only the one city I knew of back home. It's been over a year, but I'm still enjoying all of this.

text;

[grapeeater]

Only one city? How did that even work?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

You'll have to be a little more specific.

Everyone lived there.

[grapeeater]

But you can't grow the amount of stuff needed for people in a city, unless it was a very small city. And stuff like trade or commerce would be totally impossible without imports and exports.

Cloudbank was changeable. We had most of what we needed there.

Then again, I wasn't really involved in that sort of thing. I could be wrong.

text;

[grapeeater]

What do you mean, 'changeable'?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

We could change aspects about the city through popular vote, including things like the architecture and the weather.

text;

[grapeeater]

That's kind of insane.

A lot of people I've talked to here have said that.

It was interesting to adjust to life here.
