[TEXT] ☾ second phrase: what is christmas

[the_usual_stuff]

good evening Hinoto-Ri. the oddity of the recent weather aside, i do hope you've been well!

i have a question to ask you; well several questions to be honest. a holiday celebrated by humans is coming up soon, correct? it's called christmas and you're supposed to buy gifts for your friends and loved ones and... put them under a tree. i'm not entirely sure why.

[At least, that's what he thinks it is about. The general gist of it; anyway hey, a chance to show he cares about Minato and Minako people and give them presents for the fun of it. But he needs to make absolutely sure he selects the right gifts! Which he has no experience shopping for. :D]

so, what would someone who enjoys music, spending time with their friends, and eating large amounts of food want for christmas? or someone who is loud, enjoys karaoke and talking about himself like as a present? i would appreciate input from others.

[PRIVATE TO RYOJI]

ryoji what do you think they would like?

[C'mon older self, you've grown up and spent some time as a teenager with them, surely you know about to shop for protags on the holidays. Maybe he should get Ekikichi a bottle of hair gel.

Pharos is also facing the dilemma of not... having any money at all to buy presents with, being a kid who does not have a job! Even if he figures out which things he should get for them. Woe. And if he asks the Arisatos for money, that kinda defeats the purpose of buying them presents to begin with... And no, this post isn't locked from either of them btw. ]

[Welp, that was a bunch of babble Pharos didn't quite understand either as she expressed her adoration of the holiday. Bio-suits? Desco? Her father? :o curiously;]

is that how you celebrate christmas yourself and your family? by fighting and breaking these bio-suits the day before it?

Desco was always fighting, because Daddy needed her combat data. But on Christmas, the fights were a lot more fun and Daddy got lots and lots of data, so that made Desco happy!

[Pharos sees nothing wrong with this picture, beyond being a little bemused by not understanding the termalogy she's using. Well she clearly enjoyed earning the praise of her parental figure!]

oh fighting wasn't an special occasion, but on this holiday, you had more fun doing it? i see. why would your father need combat data?

There's a long delay before a reply is finally sent.

Desco is sorry, but that is personal family stuff. Desco doesn't like talking about it.

that's fine. [If Desco does not wish to talk about it, then Pharos had no real interest in pressing the topic.] is there anything else we can talk about?

Desco already knows what she wants to get Big Sis, but what should Desco get for her friends? Desco doesn't want to not have presents ready for when they show up!
