Because of his samurai title?

[blueondeck]

No, the whole samurai thing sounds stupid and weird

[trollininthedeep]

You think so too?

[blueondeck]

A lot of Earth stuff is.

[trollininthedeep]

Mmm. Bit over zealous in their celebration of pointless things.

[blueondeck]

Like birthdays and romance.

[trollininthedeep]

Birthdays?

[blueondeck]

A couple of months ago is celebrated Marvelous' supposed day of birth in earth years.

[trollininthedeep]

His day of birth was a long time ago. What's the point in celebrating it now?

[blueondeck]

They said it's a celebration noting that you're still alive or something? It didn't make much sense, but it's really important to them.

[trollininthedeep]

So it's telling them good job for making it another year? Doesn't seem to be a planet full of dangers that another year being alive becomes a big deal.

[blueondeck]

They give gifts to the person it's birth day it is and have parties with cake and lots of food to celebrate. So it really sounds more like an excuse to get free stuff.

[trollininthedeep]

That almost makes it sound like charity.

[blueondeck]

Could be.

[trollininthedeep]

Still doesn't tell me how you think that samurai should know better. Just that his pretentious title isn't a factor.

[blueondeck]

He was warned.

[trollininthedeep]

[Couldn't have warned him about the fake mistletoe so..]

Warned about me?

[blueondeck]

About you and about camp. He's an idiot who takes "seeing is believing" far too seriously.

[trollininthedeep]

So you're upset that he didn't listen to your warnings.

[blueondeck]

. . .

If he's not gonna listen, there's no point in giving them.

[trollininthedeep]

And yet you already had and that only ended up with him making out with me when he didn't have to. I can see why you would be angry over that.

[blueondeck]

There's no reason to be angry over it, just miffed no one listens.

[trollininthedeep]

I would have thought with Marvy-chan, you would be used to it by now.

[blueondeck]

That doesn't mean I don't get miffed at him too. We have plenty of fights over him doing stupider things than normal.

[trollininthedeep]

And here I was under the impression you were one big, happy crew.
