[The audio opens to the ending of a nice rendition of O, Holy Night. Cinna's voice speaks clearly.]

It's all very lovely for the most part, but it seems rather repetitive. [As he's speaking, however, the song changes to, well, something else. So far, only the instrumental introduction is heard.]

Different arrangements, but they're all the same songs. So I ask, is it common in your worlds to listen to all of them over and over, like today, or is this simply the City's attempt at driving us mad?

[He pauses for a little while to listen, you may even catch him humming a little as he picks up the basic melody.] This one seems nice, but... some of them are a little strange, you have to admit. For example, why someone would sing about the death of their Grandmother at the hooves of... a... [The vocals have kicked in. City, have some chipmunks. There's silence on Cinna's end until...]

...you must be joking. Not even the Capitol would listen to that.

[ooc: Replies may be delayed a little.]

They played them a lot the past two years too, but nothing like this! Back home they'd only sing some of them. [giggling] I think it's funny.

Well, that's entertaining for you, then isn't it?

Don't you like it at all?

Some of it's very entertaining, beautiful, even. The rest... isn't cut from the same cloth.

I don't think you're meant to take the other songs seriously. Don't you have any carols in your world?

Songs to be certain, some every bit as annoying as the ones playing today. They're common in your world, I take it?

Some of them are. Mostly the religious ones.

And what religion would that be?

Christianity. They're the ones who started Christmas, after all.

Oh, is that so?

Mmhmm~. Well, there was another winter holiday like it a long time ago, but then they took it over.

That's a concept I think I can understand.

It wouldn't be the first time it's happened~. Or the last.

I don't doubt it.

...I'm not sure we've met, I'm Cinna.

Hmm~, I don't think so either. Hi Cinna ♪ I'm Road.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Road. Have you been in the City long?

Two years and three months.

Oh, goodness. That long?

Yes. And it feels like it's been even longer.
