[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.]

[Action | During that 30 minutes...]

[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.

[handshakegreeting]

[handshakegreeting]

[...Well, that was amusing to say the least.]

It would seem you are not the only one who has gotten into the "Christmas spirit".

[Yes, brother... she is going to troll you, now.]

[linefacingforever]

[For the first time in a long time, Yu actually sounded really irritated.]

He just doesn't want to say yet th--

[OW HEADPAIN.]

Izanagi!

[ anonymous text ]

[handshakegreeting]

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

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

[handshakegreeting]

[...Yeah, sorry brother. She tried. Really, she did. Except not really...]

Perhaps we should allow him to speak when he is ready, instead of forcing him to when you are both in such a state.

[Seriously child, allow them to at least upright their social link, first.]

[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.

[linefacingforever]

[Yu let out a faint sigh, giving up, and Izanagi slowly -- carefully -- released him from the pounding headache.]

...this wouldn't be so bad if you'd let me do what I need to.

I dont know what christmsas is

[handshakegreeting]

I understand the feeling better than most, though I am sorry to hear that there are others who feel this way in a time where many from my world celebrate in some way.

[handshakegreeting]

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|]

[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.]

[whitedarklord]

Is this some kind of Secret Santa going around?

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

[handshakegreeting]

[Thank you, Izanagi. It was bad enough that he wasn't in his right mind. Incapacitating him with a migraine would not work so well for anyone's sanity.]

I am afraid the desires of your friends have spoken louder than your own. Even your cousin's, I believe.

[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?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Yeah. I kind of consider him family, so...

[Text]

[handshakegreeting]

No.

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

[handshakegreeting]

Have you tried listening to what he has to say?

[linefacingforever]

[Yu let out a groan at that, turning away from her. Izanami, you're about to have another excuse to icicle some Pyro Jacks in three... two...]

I would have thought you would have appreciated wanting to give people what they really want.

[...and that would be the sound of Izanagi facepalming. Are you sure knocking him out with a killer migraine isn't acceptable?]

[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.

[Text]

[whitedarklord]

Then why? A stranger's curiosity?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Yeah. He just says that's how he is. But it doesn't make sense, 'cause back at home, he didn't act like he hated me. He did before, three years ago, but that was three years ago. After all that he seemed like he enjoyed being around me, and now all of a sudden it's like I'm his enemy again. What did I do wrong?
