[So she was going to actually ask something of those of and brought here... At least, until she opened her mouth and a certain someone's boom box went off.]

Tomadou kotoba ataerarete mo jibun no kokoro tada uwa no sora
Moshi watashi kara ugoku no naraba subete kaeru no nara kuro ni suru
Konna jibun ni mirai wa aru no? Konna sekai ni watashi wa iru no?
Ima setsunai no? Ima kanashii no? Jibun no koto mo wakaranai mama
Ayumu koto sae tsukareru dake yo hito no koto nado shiri mo shinaiwa--

[...It seems as though they stopped after that, pausing as though in thought.]

...I wonder if a store is still open. [Because she could indeed use some sake at the moment, dealing with these stubborn children and a brainwashed representative you're next, Pyro Jacks. A little later (read: thirty minutes of likely continued perplexing behavior from the aforementioned representative and drinking yet not getting drunk), there is a text because what is trusting her voice with this still occurring?]

What is it you desire during this season? ...Aside from a certain clan deciding whether they wish for a green or white Christmas.

[Other gods know they have had enough of that to last for a few years.]

[Yu looked like a sullen child that had been grounded for Christmas. Then again, if your friends tackled you, knocked you out, and then tied you down to your couch to keep you from spreading the message of a Green Christmas, you'd be a bit annoyed too. He was about to let out another complaint... when Izanami's beatbox went off; that made a grin spread across his face then, leaning his head back so it flopped against the back of the couch.]

I knew one of you had to have some kind of spirit.

[...lulz, no pun intended; Yu couldn't help but grin at that.]

You're singing the wrong kind of song for the season.

[handshakegreeting]

[Welcome to the club; she'd been grounded for who knows how long in a sense. But then, she always had been ahead of the times. Silly traditions.]

You say that as though it were on purpose. Although, one could make the argument that not all would agree it is wrong.

[She sees yur puns and raises yu a few in brackets. Izanami still stands there on the other side of the room, vaguely amused by this predicament. It wouldn't be until the 13th Hour before all of her powers returned again, anyway...]

Perhaps I should have listened to a few more songs, back in Inaba.

[linefacingforever]

You don't have to know a song; you just sing what's in your heart and soul.

[He paused a moment, face scrunched up in thought, searching for a good Christmas song... Finally he let out a satisfied noise, tapping his foot in time as he started to sing...]

♫ I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is yo-- ♫

[...and he ended up cutting himself off with a strangled cry, as a certain headgod raised a very loud objection to where this song was going.]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I wish someone would be nicer to me.

[ anonymous text ]

[handshakegreeting]

[...oh, does she know that feeling.]

A difficult time in this city thus far, I take it?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

It's not...because of him. There's someone else who isn't here that I miss. But things would be a lot better if he hadn't decided he hated me again.

I dont know what christmsas is

Christmas is a winter holiday in half of the world in which I came from that celebrates many things, considering one religion engulfed many others as it spread amongst many different people.

It is generally a time of celebrating with ones family and friends; of enjoying togetherness and sharing their blessings, though most in my country generally celebrate the eve before with their significant others and enjoy a cake between them.

Though admittedly, I am not the best to ask what it is; as I have never celebrated it.

[And she kind of dislikes YHWY... yeah. 8|]

[nofairy]

it sounds nice

[stolemylook]

I want someone I know to understand what I tell him a little better.

[...probably the most honest he'll ever be, so of course it's anonymous.]

[Anonymous Text]

[handshakegreeting]

[She applauds it, regardless. Even if she has an idea...]

A common desire, it seems. I take it they have difficulties in doing so?

[stolemylook]

Yeah.

[It's a moment before the message continues.]

I know I'm not the greatest at communicating, but I'd have thought he'd gotten the hint by now.

[whitedarklord]

Is this some kind of Secret Santa going around?

[...because seriously? What? Why ask that in public?]

[Text]

[handshakegreeting]

No.

[For the lulz, and she's curious.]

[Text]

[whitedarklord]

Then why? A stranger's curiosity?

[not_a_leviathan]

I'd like some answers for Christmas.

And maybe some new clothes, as long as they're not white.

[handshakegreeting]

What kind of answers? If it is about this place, I may be able to help. I have been here for quite some time, after all.

Also, what size clothes?

Desco and Big Sis are bound by fate, so Desco doesn't have to wish for Big Sis to show up!

So for now Desco really wants a minion.

I wish that my little niece would just stop running into all kinds of troubles.

[nyxterious]

My desire? I guess it's for everything to be alright. And for my friends to have a nice Christmas this year, without worry.

[handshakegreeting]

I believe the biggest worry they will have is the few who are still attempting to spread different messages about Christmas.

[ Minato doesn't really see or hear all of this until he's checking the network late in the evening, after his Christmas Eve date, and by that time there are a number of replies to the text already, and he skims through them to see what other people say. And that's when he picks up on the fact that not all of the replies are anonymous. In fact, one woman seems to be replying to a couple threads unanonymously - the same user, it seems, as the one who broadcast a song (one he's pretty sure he heard on the internet back home) earlier, unless he's mistaken.

Hm. Interesting... He's not entirely sure what to do with this information, however, except perhaps reply. But it's only polite to not conceal his identity when he thinks he's discovered another's, so he doesn't go anonymous. ]

You have a lovely voice, anonymous-san.

I already have what I would have wanted for Christmas this year. What about you? What do you desire?

[ Of course, that doesn't mean he won't tease just slightly. And as for what he wants, well... he already has family and some of his friends here and a second chance to live again without worrying about the Seal, if Philemon is to be trusted on that point. It seems greedy to ask for anything more. ]

[Did he, now? Oops~ though to be fair, it was only one or two where she left the anonymous unchecked. It made it easier for those who felt a little unsure about answering an anonymous person. Even if it was an alias...]

Why, thank you... and how generous of you.

[Though that question... Well, she'd have likely thanked him for responding via text if she hadn't already. It was bad enough that she was humming and a certain someone in the background was going "that still isn't a Christmas song."]

It's a simple and common desire, even though I know it is no longer possible.

I think I would like to be by my brother's side once more. To apologize to him.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[That was a nice song, but...hmm. What he wants...?]

Kinda doubt what I want could show up as a present.

I don't know. The strangest things occur during the holiday season and the time after.
