Summary: Seekers ain't dealin' with your holiday stuff (yet).
Holiday season in the Shatterdome was... chaotic to say the least. Too many cultures clashed over what section of a place would be for what. Still, it was cheery and happy even with the chaos. But everything was confusing to the Seekers and they all chose to sequester themselves in their rooms. Obviously, they would come out for a kaiju but beyond that they were... avoiding it.
Or trying to anyway.
"C'mon guuuuyyys! It's fun! We're setting up our tree right now!" Bitstream had tried to explain it, really, he had but... well... none of them could grasp a single one of these holidays. Said hacker was bunked underneath a desk and almost bristling at the intrusion. There was a brief moment where the Seekers were worried their easily strongest link would give in but then...
"No."
And then the door slammed in the nuisance's face and Slipstream slunk back to the group. She flicked her hair over her her ear and settled into the seat she had vacated. A smile went from one to another Seeker as Bitstream emerged from his hiding place.
"Okay... let's go over what we know about the holidays again so we can prepare, yes?" They all nodded, settling in to begin a new discussion. Groundlings were weird but it was... actually kind of interesting.
Aside from maybe Starscream, none of the Seekers understand common culture. Starscream is still iffy on it at the best of times. Holidays are beyond them. The Seekers do have a few key holidays (known as Keeping Days in their culture) and are as follows:
-Winter Solstice (this begins their New Year and is celebrated by leaving a handmade gift at the Spires to honor the dead, Seekers wear all golds this day and tend to dress lightly. Most Seekers get their first sickness because of this and it's seen as a blessing. Tend to wear things with moons on them like jewelry and clothing ornaments.)
-Spring Equinox (this begins their school year and their trading season. Clothing is all meant to be greens and light blues, green for nature and light blues for the morning sky. Tend to wear clouds for jewelry and ornaments.)
-Summer Solstice (this begins the training year which is a year round situation. Celebrated by gifting one's neighbors' children with something they like or want, Seekers wear all silvers this day and dress in quite a few layers. This is a day for family. Tend to wear things with suns on jewelry and ornaments.)
-Autumn Equinox (this ends the school year and trading season and is when the hunting season begins. Clothing is in oranges, yellows, and deep blues, oranges and yellows for the leaves that fall and deep blues for the night sky. Tend to wear stars for jewelry and ornaments.)
Beyond that, they have birthdays that are all celebrated the first of the month in a birthday pool. They also have Wing Days which celebrate the days they got their Wings and is all celebrated the last day of the month. As such, they don't quite understand most holidays that they encounter. Or why every birthday is celebrated apart from each other. Starscream understands kind of but not really. Seekers are kind of like... why.
