Day 4 - VOICE

Thursday's child has far to go. [ Only Calendar Man could make such a statement sound like a threat. Far to go to forget the past three days. At least he hadn't broken theme, there was that. He moves on quickly, and takes on a softer tone. ]

Today marks the beginning of December. World Aids Day, if you are keeping track of the holidays. There are quite a few in December. Ashura. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Human Rights Day. The Winter Solstice. Saturnalia. Hanukkah. Christmas. Kwanzaa. New Year's Eve. More. I'm sure some of the visitors to this world have brought their own unique celebrations.

It is a time for gift giving, City. Do you plan on celebrating something this month?

You already know how most people will answer. What's the point?

On the contrary, I've gained some very intriguing information.

You played hero.

I didn't play at anything, Day. It's over now.

Were you caught up in that infliction?

Were you? [ Deflection! ]

[ Long angry silence.]

[ Sniff. ]

Sorry I missed it.

Tell me.

How can you perform surgery when you're supposed to be in an asylum?

That's not a riddle, is it?

You're out.

It sure sounds like it.

How?

You think I'd part with that information for free?

It doesn't matter. At least you have more to do on the outside than shred calendars.

Yeah. Now I can visit everyone in person.

Like the ones who didn't visit you.

I'd say it's a possibility.

You still haven't told me your plans for the holidays.

We don't all make plans for the holidays.

You should. Or you might get caught up in other people's plans.

Isn't it a little soon for threats?

I could say the same to you.

Who's making threats?

No one, I would hope.

Surely not.
