Good evening.
[Though the subject matter behind his reasoning for addressing the networks was far different now than the first time he had the previous month, his even, dispassionate tone of voice is exactly the same.]
I've come to realize that the time in which we will be returning back to Oska is very close to—if not exactly on—the winter solstice. [He's used to a duo of sing-songy fae stopping by his house and giving him forewarning. He actually had to use a calendar this time.] Though I doubt all worlds follow the same laws and traditions, it is a day of great importance in my own. There are several rituals I am... curious if anyone would wish to help me carry out, to give us auspicious passage through the winter months.
As I don't think the old gods of winter have any particular sway over these distant realms, I am fairly confident nothing will be dangerous.
Please let me know if you might be interested, or if you might have any questions.

[Elias didn't really drink. Well, not much more than a single glass, at least. There were plenty of fae that went pretty wild, too... but they typically only resorted to mischief, not true altercations.]
Oh?
There are many variations on the tradition, which I find interesting. In England currently, one just burns a fire in the hearth as normal. In the past, however, they would drag an entire tree into town to burn part of it in older days...
How was it usually carved, in your experience?
