Leave it to Topher to make Christmas about brainwashing. [ how is this her family. ]

[andblockbuster]

I can't help it if Christmas is the most overly commercialized subliminal holiday. It's not even a bad thing in this case. It's a comforting melting pot that all the religions of the world can embrace, even if we don't care about a baby being born in Bethlehem. I mean look at us. Atheist [he points to himself], Jew, Muslim.... [he points to Alex and Kali in turn] And you... I'm gonna guess agnostic?

[hacker]

Maybe the nuns left an impression after all. [ But she nods to confirm his assessment, on that note. ] Not a Christian in the bunch.

[andblockbuster]

[he's so pleased with himself.] But we're bound by a love of eggnog, presents, and songs about reindeer.

[hacker]

And one more thing. [ She points up. Mistletoe. And without more warning than that, she will kiss him on the cheek. ]

[andblockbuster]

[and he turns red enough to make his freckles stand out across his nose, making him look ridiculously boyish.] I, uh... Yeah, we never did that one at Pegasus. Something about professionalism and, um... Uh.

[how do girl????????] Thanks?

[hacker]

And bad guys being allergic to fun? Yeah, not surprised. [ She dismisses it with a scoff. ]

[andblockbuster]

If I don't say another word about society and programming tonight, will you not do the morality thing?

[hacker]

Deal. At least for the next ... [ she examines her eggnog glass. ] Three of these.

[andblockbuster]

You're the only person who would honestly think she'd get more morally self-righteous after more alcohol.

[at least he says it with affection.]

[hacker]

And you're the only person I know who would think that's a bad thing.

[andblockbuster]

Maybe the only good person.

[hacker]

Status pending.

[andblockbuster]

They let me in here!

[hacker]

That doesn't always mean as much as you'd like to believe.

[andblockbuster]

Pretty sure Wynn's never let in an axe murderer.

[Well....] There'd be way more axes inside people.

[hacker]

That doesn't exclude other types of murderers.

[andblockbuster]

Like... freedom fighters? Mercenaries? Rehabilitated serial killers... does it count if they're rehabilitated?

[he waves his hands, suddenly a bit uncomfortable. WHAT IF THERE ARE MURDERERS HERE. OH GOD.] Maybe they should have to walk around going door to door, telling people they're former serial killers, like they make sex offenders do.

[hacker]

You're really inspiring big faith in here. I'm sure that'd really promote knightly bonding. Maybe there could be a DrakeNet app with little red dots where their rooms are on the castle map.

[andblockbuster]

[after a second or two left contemplating this in conflicted silence, he speaks up again.] How are we defining murderer?

[hacker]

... Why are you asking that?!? [ what the FUCk topher ]

[andblockbuster]

Uh. Because I'm pretty sure you're not gonna find many people here who haven't killed in self-defense?

[hacker]

[ A loud scoff accompanies the roll of her eyes. ]

Yeah, that's why it's called self defense! Not murder.

[andblockbuster]

Uh. Yeah. Cool motive. Still murder.

[shrug.]

[hacker]

You clearly need a dictionary and to stop watching Brooklyn 99. Murder is premeditated, deliberate, and unlawful.
