We approach the Amarr holiday venerating St. Nicholas the Destroyer.


This time is often used among some in our culture as one for reflection, merriment, and the sharing of gifts.


In the spirit of such Festivity, I will offer a gift for one among you in the greater Summit community.


Speak your heart's desires....one wish, below. I will grant this to one of you.

While I expect the usual requests for physical luxuries and equipment, it would serve well to think of other requests of spiritual or emotional nature, or even perhaps and act that I would do to fulfill your request.

I would ask that you contract slaves to me that I may free them. I do not have a child's naivety to ask that all be freed, but rather those whom you find in your holding lacking in qualities you do not desire. Your old, your weak, your mentally infirm, whatever measuring stick that you would use to both adhere to the strictures of your life whilst granting me this boon.

I'd like to request a noticeable effort to silence the kvende that is Seriphyn Inhonores.

Seriously, he just doesn't know when to shut up.

My dear General is off limits. You are welcome to request something else.

How about getting our resident genocidal maniacs to shut up for a day? You know which ones.

Treat everyone around you as your intellectual, moral and spiritual equals for literally as long as you can manage.

That would be a better gift to me than any material object.

Dear Lady Vitalia;

An interesting holiday! I have given it some thought and do have a request for you. I think I understand your philosophy, but what I don't understand is the reasons you have for holding it. I'm interested in knowing. Of course, if it's too personal, don't feel obliged, and certainly don't feel obliged to say so publicly if you don't want to.

In the spirit of the festivities, I am happy to offer you the same gift as you have offered all of us here. It only seems appropriate.

Dread Lady Vitalia.

I would like to share a meal with you, preferably ~smirks~ not someone we know.

I've already received what I wanted. Asking for too much more would appear selfish.

Selfishness is an emotion I don't have a negative association with. Ask.

Not a tale for public consumption. Privately, perhaps.

I would like to request the corpse of Diana Kim to be mounted on the wall of my personal hangar. I need a new dart board now that Admiral Blake's corpse is too full of holes to properly hold darts any longer.

I would like to have a single conversation with you, without malice or ill will. Simply put, I would like to speak to you just as a peer (fellow capsuleer), at least pretending for the duration of that conversation that we are not enemies.

Perhaps over a cup of tea. Not poisoned.

What I wish, you can't provide. I'd wish people would think before they act, that the borders and stations were safe, and that CONCORD stopped intruding on our affairs and those of the Empires. As I said, no one can provide that, but I applaud your initiative.

So many things to ask for. But i really want is probaly unfillable by you Lady Vitalia, So i'll ask for Either 1 trillion isk or 1 supercarrier.
Barring that, i'll settle for a hug from Katrina Oniseki.

I'd like a secret, Miss Vitalia. Something that is known to you only and something you will not later kill me for possessing knowledge of.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.
