Summer 02

[This time, Ellie settles on audio only. She didn't trust herself to keep her face neutral, and just-- just this once, without Joel there, and feeling more vulnerable than usual, she wanted to ask the question]

Okay, so. Besides the fucking disappearances, I've got kind of a serious question. They just had this whole holiday dedicated to ghosts and candy, right? Because when I think of ghosts, I definitely think of candy and toys or some shit.

[a pause, before she remembers the video isn't on and they can't actually see her]

And, like... I got the shit scared out of me by something before I realized it wasn't actually a ghost. I don't really believe in ghosts. Or things like heaven... and probably not god either. I mean-- fuck, it's difficult to explain.

Anyway... how many people here do?

Just curious. Because, who knows... Maybe there's a reason it's important. And there was a whole damn holiday that sure as fuck didn't come from this place, apparently.

Well the next American holiday would be Thanksgiving--which is literally about food. Then there's Christmas, which is gifts and food.... And then News Years Eve which... more food. [He.. never really noticed how many holidays had to do with food before.]

I have no idea what the routine is here, but from what I've seen, the Kedan like food almost as much as we do back home.

Food holiday? What, no way! And it's American too?!

I feel really fucking cheated now.

So, what sorta things do you eat on these holidays?

[shorttempered]

Yeah. To celebrate the first harvest in America or something. Do you not have it where you're from?

Well for Thanksgiving, it's primarily all about the Turkey. But mashed potatoes, yams, cranberry sauce, and green bean casarole can all be staples too. It depends on the house.
