[Mihawk is currently standing to the side of the main crossroad near the Good Spirits Bar, absently looking around and watching people fuss about their way what with the holiday spirit and such.]

Does anyone happen to have an estimate of how long will this glittery, colorful, over the top... celebration is going to last?

[Because he's seriously considering hitting the forest for a while until you people and your lights and trees and holiday cheer are done making him vaguely ill. And given how disgruntled he sounds, you can totally tell by his tone alone.

Congratulations, Luceti, you have a Grinch among your ranks.]

Ah, yes. I am entirely familiar with the concept.

[Daria pretty much wrote off her peers when she was about six. It shows sometimes.]

Anyone you know here?

[Voice]

[slightoverkill]

Several, unfortunately.

[mysicksadlife]

I'm sorry. [Despite the bland tone, that's really the right answer - whatever way she looks at it.]

Where the world full only of those whom I deem worthy, it would be both a very empty and a very boring world.

[So in a round about way, it's okay.]

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

I guess that's true.

But the annoying ones are so damn annoying.

[slightoverkill]

Only if you genuinely expect better from them. Otherwise they're just... pathetic.

Re: [Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

That's just it. They should be better.

[Voice]

[slightoverkill]

Why? In my experience, people already are what they should be and having expectations outside that is setting yourself for both disappointment and irritation.

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

And that's why I prefer to stay away from most people.

[Voice]

[slightoverkill]

While a suitable solution short term, long term it will cause you undue boredom.

[We're talking chew-my-way-up-the-walls boredom. He'd know.]

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

No, I'm fine staying away from them. It's being around them that causes me boredom. Or worse.

[Voice]

[slightoverkill]

Indeed? I find being an spectator that much more amusing.
