So Thanksgiving is coming up, at least for the country I was living in for a long time.

For those of you who don't know, there's a historical basis behind it but the main idea nowadays is to get together with family and friends, stuff your faces, watch sports, and think of things you're thankful for.

So, tower residents. What are you thankful for?

[Sorry, were you planning to have this be a feel-good post? Because nnnnnnnope.]

I wish Westerners would just be honest about the reason for that absurd holiday. 'And on this day we celebrate taking land from natives and claiming it as our own, so cheers for greed'.

It is a better excuse to gorge yourselves, I think.

[He can roll with it.]

Okay fair point.

But I like to try to focus on the positive.

[floreatnoctem]

[Better than nothing.]

It just seems like one more shallow excuse for excess.

[hachitaro]

I guess. I always thought it was nice.

[floreatnoctem]

Perhaps it was, if you always had a good time celebrating it.

[hachitaro]

You could join me in celebrating it, if you want.

[floreatnoctem]

Join you? Why?

[hachitaro]

It's always more fun with friends.

[floreatnoctem]

I'm not your friend.

[hachitaro]

I could be a friend, if you want one. Or an ally at least.

[floreatnoctem]

Why?

[Excuse Chidori, she's still not entirely used to this whole 'blatant overtures of friendship' thing.]

[hachitaro]

Because I know what it's like to be alone.

[floreatnoctem]

I'm not alone. My family is here.


Nice try though.
