you're going to be amazing

[Some people might've noticed a familiar (or not so familiar, depending) huge man wandering around the base these past few weeks. He's mostly been skulking around the dojo, but he's also been milling about, looking at all the Candlenights decorations with a vaguely mystified air. It's not until shortly before what many people would think of as Christmas Eve that he actually gets around to asking.]

So I've been wondering. Did those New Aspen people invade while I was gone? Why the hell's this place all covered in their sorta weird sparkly nonsense?

[He pauses, as if giving everyone the chance to absorb his absurd conclusion. And then decides to make it worse.]

Figure we gotta fight those cats if we're gonna beat them back? I'm a lot stronger now so I can definitely kick their ass this time.
[This time, he says. As if he's tried to fight the cats from New Aspen before. (He has.)]
