It's really weird for Thanksgiving to be around now. We celebrated it last month and completely forgot that the American's do it so close to the other holidays. What's the point in even doing it now other than using it as a countdown to Christmas? Are you negating the point of this holiday?

[Cain steps into frame, working idly in a notebook. A rare video appearance from the elder Hashimoto twin! Looks like he was hanging around. He sits next to Calista, focusing primarily on what he's working on as he speaks.]

Not even to mention Black Friday, of course. I remembered, only because I've been putting up with the American idea of the holiday for longer. Honestly, it's beyond me. Isn't the autumn harvest typically over by this point? One would think you would all survive a month without fresh obligations, non?

[he shakes his head, muttering a few Quebecois curses--whether over the current topic or the other task at hand is unclear.]

A Thanksgiving feast and then all of the fattening sweets of the Christmas holidays, no wonder they have all of these health problems.

[Calista leans back, eyeing her brother and then back to the camera, reaching over and turning off.]

Someone asked me if he was a vampire, but that was before I got stuff about the guns and the gangs.

[he smiles even though his thoughts were a little sad.] I was told that my other self's life should be turned into a book. I just don't know if I wanna share it all with the whole world. I dunno what I'd do if any of the people that were in my past life showed up. The pieces I've got of them are so sad at times, but yet he was happy when they were all friends.

Hopefully, you won't fall into the same patterns this time around, right?

With all the action that you keep remembering, my vote is for a movie. As for me, I don't intend to let 'Escape' end up end up the way she did before.

[Watching him, she thought about what she was going to say next before going on.]

There is a movie or a commercial I remember from a long time ago, where there was this group of vampires wearing sunglasses. As the sun came up, one of them burned to death because he wasn't wearing his.

[ursoreckless]

Ending up the same way as our past selves did is not an option.

[he's firm about that one, the mask slipping just a little because he refuses to be just a sad punk dying in the light of a sunrise.]

Maybe I should invest in more sunglasses. [and the mask is back in place, as he smiles and pulls a set out of his pocket and slides them into place] I mean, I've only got hundred here.

[sugoku]

[She caught that, but decided not to comment on it, smiling at his conclusion]

You wont be setting on fire any time soon. Some of us here would be extremely pissed if it happened again.

[ursoreckless]

Really? So if someone sets me on fire, someone else will cap them?

[sugoku]

Cap and double tap for good measure.

[ursoreckless]

I love how you think.

[sugoku]

Why thank you. I wouldn't double tap for just anyone.

[ursoreckless]

I'm honored. If there's anything I can do for you, I shall.

[sugoku]

Hoping we don't come to that will do for now.

[ursoreckless]

Yes, there is a lot of truth in that.
