Dragon turns his smile to Dog, remaining as charismatic and magnanimous as ever.  "Speaking of new and ludicrous, have you seen the screenshots for Soul Calibur 4?  Your namesake's costume is getting more revealing with each iteration, Cousin Xianghua.<br/><br/>"But as for myself, it has been a productive year.  I have walked much of Creation, and made many friends and allies.  Several mortals have been secured to my cause, including that Trump fellow; his daughter Ivanka is already Anchored to me, and I daresay she will prove a quite capable servant.  But yes, this celebration comes at an interesting time.  It is... like drawing a deep breath, savoring an aroma, taking it all in...  By tomorrow evening that breath shall be let out, my work done and yet just begun.  Yes, I would say by this time tomorrow I shall have secured the commerce of the world.  The Camorra can have their political offices, while I take the reins of power in a proper direction.  We must, after all, preserve what beauty is left in the prosaic world if we are to preserve the beauty of Creation."
