Tucked away in a corner of the station, There's a party going. Lights are strung up absolutely everywhere, speakers set to play happy music, tables set with every imaginable drink and copious amounts of food, and some mysterious substance known only as "eggnog". What the hell is eggnog? what did someone do to that poor egg? nobody knows for sure, just that the drinking of this mysterious elixir is prescribed only during year end festivities.
The air seems chilled, and in some areas, snow appears to be falling, Some of the light is provided by a large bonfire burning over 15 feet high keeping the area around it warm.
A large banner is strung up proclaiming "Non-denominational year end party! Meet up with old friends, and chat with your enemies! No fighting."
"HEEEYY! Glad you could make it! Please check any weaponry over at the table with the gentleman in the vest, don't want this turning into some kind of bloodbath, ya'know?"
If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Demel walks up to Heathen with a wide eyed, unemotional stare and hands a small "handbag" to the bouncer without looking.
"What is this?" He says dryly towards him, "Some kind of Gallentean tradition?"
On closer inspection behind Demel's pony tail and the bangs covering his eyes slightly, one might see his blood shot eyes.
Demel then fixes the scarf around his head and stuffs his hands back into his coats pocket.
"Why is it so cold...." he murmurs. |

"Nah, everyone has a big year end celebration, but they're tied to religion, or tribal pride, or company obligation or somesuch. I figured we could all use one, but didn't want to start some big fight, so... this"
*Heathen motions towards the bonfire* "Sorry it's so cold, localized weather generators, and some bribes to the guys in maintenance so that it would snow, s'pretty warm anywhere near the giant fire. Have some drinks, have some food, sit a spell, it's supposed to be a party" *Heathen chuckles slightly after this last statement*

"So I have to turn in all my weapons aye? Alright.". Aztec pulled off his weighted gloves, took off his flaylock, bent down and too a scrambler pistol off his ankle and took a pair of knives off of the other ankle. He took off the front of his belt buckle, a locus grenade. Finally he put down his entire backpack.
"Aye, let me get near that fire. Also, what is eggnog?" Aztec laughed and sat near the fire, wrapping his hair around his neck like a scarf.
»We still have our honor!

"Glad you could make it, and that is a very good question. Nobody really knows, some would say it's a jovian drink, others say it's the nectar of the gods. Personally, I just think it's odd that no matter how much booze you put in it it tastes exactly the same. which by the way is just plain terrible, but some people swear by it and I once drunk tank fuel on a dare. Which tastes like strawberries."

"Then I'm going to have to get myself some and maybe a hat. Be right back.". He got out a red thing from his backpack and a canister of nog. He sat down near the fire and put on a red conical hat with a white fuzzy ball at the end and equally white brim.
"Got it as a souvenir from an Amarr tourist shop. Supposedly it was an archaic jester's hat."
»We still have our honor!

Demel slowly drags himself towards the fire and plops down on the floor. He slightly shivers as he looks at the fire.
His eyes slowly drifts elsewhere and he notices the drinks the other party goers have been sipping on.
"Heathen..." He mewls weakly, "Where do I get the drinks?" |

"Anywhere at all, Demel. They're all on the house tonight! Just grab whichever one you want."
*Noticing another party-goer*
"The more the merrier! Just going to have to ask you to check any weapons at the table over there. The drinks and food are on the house!"

Demel then looks over to the quaint lady next to him and quickly snatches the beverage from her hands. She blinks slightly wit ha pitiful look and sneers disgustingly at Demel.
"You..cheeky....mongrel!" She says in an Amarr accent.
Demel simply growls back at her like a dog and huddles close to the beverage, sipping it slowly, savoring the taste as it warms his core.
After some time had passed while Demel aimlessly stared at the fire, he looks towards Heathen.
"So, what's this all about? What are we celebrating?"

Kador walks past the celebration, sparing but a glace for the people there.
"Bloody heathens" he mutters to himself.
To a Texan like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Gunlogi.

Turning to Demel, Heathen smiles.
"the end of the year, Everybody has some kind of celebration for it with family, but since we're now mercenaries and technically have no families anymore, I figured that we're all one big family, so lets get everyone we can together for drinks, fun and possibly antics for a bit while we're not killing each other"

"You've never met my family then. We're... not entirely nice." Heathen sighs "If you don't have a family, then the people you exchange bullet wounds, and drink with are about as close as you get, right?"

Demel looks away and sips more of the beverage.
"This tastes like a medicine I took when I was a kid...." He smiles soothingly as he stares aimlessly at the fire.
"But it's not the end of the year yet....." |

"Eh, had to start a bit early to make sure people had ample time to find it, You know me, not the kind to wander around just giving out flyers. And on my rep, everyone would think it was some kind of trap or prank if I did."
Heathen grabs a cup of eggnog off a nearby table "cheers, as they say."

Galm enters the party, wearing what... Appears to be a hideous knitted sweater depicting cervidae-like creatures. He looks jaded (as usual) and slightly detached from his surroundings. He seems to be muttering the same sentence over and over again.
"Can't sleep, lads will get me. Can't sleep, lads will get me. Can't sleep, lads will get me....."
Eventually reality snaps back into focus for him temporarily and he works his way over to the eggnog. His hands are shaking heavily as he takes a sip. He stumbles over to Kador and looks at him as if he hadn't slept in a week.
Not that mercenaries need sleep... But you know what I mean.
"Heh. This party is a lot like what we have in Caldari space. We have a holiday dedicated to goodwill towards each other. Gift giving, merriment, whathaveyou. It's all a big marketing ploy built off some old, dead tradition but it does make you feel at peace for a bit."
He takes another sip from his eggnog.
"At least I would be if... Nevermind, you wouldn't understand. All I can say is that we have some odd traditions come this time of year. Just keep your spoons clean, and your meat close."
In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then I also love him.

Demel proceeds to throw his cup into the bonfire. "I don't get this tradition...when did people start throwing cups in places...." He says with a slur in his voice while looping his head to the side. His body slowly slinks and he plops his head onto the lap of the same woman he took the drinks from. The woman then proceeds to evict Demel of his resting spot with a strong push, sending Demel bobbing upwards and onto the snow.
"I'm so tired...." He whines quietly. |
