Oh, I see now. This is a reward, not a punishment. You're all here to entertain me in the afterlife, and I'd like to let you know at the outset that I do appreciate it.

Since we're all speaking on one subject - incidentally, did I miss a meeting? You're all so effortlessly on the same page - there's an important one that's been missed. Old, but important. Of course there's Sol Invictus [ slight, slight stress ] on the twenty-fifth, but everyone forgets about Saturnalia. [ Tsk, tsk. ] Old traditions are the best traditions, or so they say.

Christmas, technically, and a festival to the disruption of expectations, respectively. Which I have been told wouldn't be appreciated here, but I humbly beg to differ.

[most_feared]

Disruption of expectations, huh? Well, you got me curious, anyway. It's not a holiday I've heard anything like before. Tell me more.

[ Who is educating the young people these days? ]

The Roman god Saturn appreciated a good role reversal, apparently. Slaves for masters, masters for slaves. Amazing more people didn't die along the way. Io Saturnalia.

I don't know, people at the bottom of the barrel I notice seem to have more positive attitudes than those at the top. That or the poor bastards are just too tired to give people hell anymore.

Hm, but you've never seen them at the top.
