dressofheaven: (Not planning anything)
Cerberus, stoke the fire please.

[The sight of a Houndoom breathing flames onto a pile of sticks (in a firepit, of course) in front of the camera is the first thing the video shows, before it turns to a bundled up Ilya with a mug of hot chocolate.]

Hold it steady, Orpheus. Now then, hello everyone! With the season upon us and some of us deciding it's time to bring out some traditions, I thought I'd continue something I started last year and try to bring a favorite tradition of mine into this world.

Caroling.

Now it's a little different than usual, for those of you who know what that is. I'm not going door-to-door or anything, instead I'm just going to sing over the network. If you don't like this idea I encourage you to mute the gear right now.

[She gives a brief unimpressed flatface before smiling warmly again.]

On the other hand, if you have any requests, please feel free to give them! But please, try to keep them to good songs. I'm not going to sing "Jingle Bells".

Now then...

[She takes a deep breath before launching into song.]

Here we come a Wassailing
Upon the leaves so green
Here we come a wandering
So fair to be seen...
dressofheaven: (Happy Ilya in snow)
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!


[As the last strains of "Angels We Have Heard on High" leave Ilya's lips, she picks up a nearby mug and nurses at it a bit, kicking her legs and seemingly oblivious to the fact that she's being taped.

But not for long. She turns her eyes to the side and blinks in surprise.
] Orpheus, you weren't supposed to turn that on yet! I'm still warming up!

[But with a little sigh and a soft smile of amusement, she shrugs it off.] Oh well, I guess I'm about ready. Most of you probably don't know this but I've been... complaining a little about the sort of music they're playing and some of us are singing about now. Not that I don't like Christmas or anything, I just don't like most of the songs.

But there are a few good ones out there, and so I decided that I'd sing all the ones I know that I actually like tonight. Sort of like caroling only I'm doing it over the network instead of door-to-door. As such, if you'd like to hear one, you can just respond and I'll sing one for you. You can either pick one or let me do it, I don't mind either way.

Just don't ask me to sing something like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or "Santa Clause is Coming to Town", alright?

[Her message sent, Ilya takes another sip and starts to sing again.]

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning


[The feed clicks off after that line.]
