Oh I
Don't want a lot for Christmas
There is 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 you

[ That whole song and dance being done. ]

...dammit. That didn't need to be broadcasted.

handshakegreeting

[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.]

[Good afternoon, Hinoto-Ri! It looks like someone's decided to use his public watch system for a little spread of the Christmas Joy, Eikichi Mishina Style. Enjoy this classic, ruined only like he can.]

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, babe!
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white!

Hooooooooo!

[There's a strange electronic hum over this message, since Latooni is sitting in front of an open refrigerator. On top of the Nadesico, since it's cold around it right this second.]

I think we might be seeing something similar to the Scorpio incident. Instead of psychological alterations, though, the unlucky people are being changed to be extremely sensitive to temperature.

[At that moment, some unidentified brainwashee flies by above her singing Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio's "I Am Santa Claus"]

...well, there might be some psychological alterations, too.

We might need to find groups to get a hold of the affected people before they hurt themselves...I should be good to fight against anyone using Ice skills.

[There is a confused snuffle as a chorus of 'hee-ho's start getting louder and louder over the communicator. Ammy, head tilted back, watches as a troop Pyro and Jack Frosts fly over her head, spreading summer and winter weather at the drop of a hat.

After a few minutes, she straightens. There is a particular set of her jaws that make her look like she's sniffing with disdain, but wolves can't do that, right?

She picks up her basket of fruit back into her mouth, but drops it comically to let out a loud yelp of pain. A particularly mischievous Pyro Jack has set her tail on fire...so she'll just be running up and down the streets of Libra until it goes out.]

travelingtheworlds

[The camera is focused on what seems to be a snowman... made entirely of fire. It's got two tiers, made of a large fireball and a small fireball. Next to it, a Pyro Jack is making another, smaller fire-snowman. As a side note, this is all taking place on a street that has been affected by summer conditions. After a few moments, Sasha speaks from offscreen.]

Hi, everybody! There are so many cute Pyro Jacks and Jack Frosts around all of a sudden! I thought I'd come outside and maybe play with the Pyro Jacks a bit. So far, we're making snowmen! Firemen? Fire-snowmen. I'd ask you some of you guys to come play with us, but I know that not everyone can manipulate fire like I can... so for now, just watch us!

[The Pyro Jack finishes its fire-snowman and begins to make another.]

Aww, that looks great! Okay, now it's my turn to make another one! Let's decorate this whole street with fire-snowmen!

[The feed cuts off here.]

greaterdays

Um... My big bro is acting really weird.

He flew off the back porch on a lightning bolt.

[Seeing him jump off was actually kind of terrifying, but he seems to be fine, as evidenced by the view from Nanako's COMP as she stands on the apartment's balcony. In the distance, someone with grey hair and this outfit can be seen, soaring towards the ground on a bright flash of light. A group of Pyro Jacks is on the street below, waiting for him.]

People acted weird when the monsters attacked too, right? Are there gonna be more monsters?

[It has gotten to the point where Torahime cannot avoid it anymore - Kisuke is gone, and has been for like a month, seriously.

How could such a promise, one made by Amitabha, be broken, she wonders. She still feels like this world has no place for her.

She was going to ask the other Guests for some stress relief, but just after she turns the feed on, her newfound "condition" acts up. Her voice is clearly not one accustomed to singing like this.]

Hontou no genjitsu wa saisho kara kawarazu ni-
Koerarenai kabe toshite tada sonzaishiteita
shikai ga anna fuu ni gensou nado minaide itara
hagareta toki shoujiru kizu wa kakera datta...
mou mayoenai kara...

(The real truth has been unchangeable since the start.
Like an impassable wall, it has just continued existing.
I wish I had never seen illusions or similar things coming into view,
because they were only fragments that produced wounds when they vanished.
I won't hesitate anymore...)

[Was their love ever meant to be? Regardless of the answer, which happens to be yes (just apparently not here), her singing is clearly not. She stops for a moment, allowing everyone to get a good look at her helmet - she is still dressed for a fight, after all, although "armored" would be more accurate.]

...I suppose now must not be the time to ask for something...

[and she's out before she can even introduce herself properly. That was just a bit too weird for her.]

[OOC: the bit in parentheses is the translation of the bits in romanized Japanese, for the benefit of people that don't speak it but have characters that do.

Relevant bit of the song stops at 3:24.]

charmedbymemories

This is kind of nostalgic...

[Naminé's face appears on the screen, her expression unreadable for a moment. For those who might know her, Naminé looks very different. She's older and leaner, one eye hazed over from blindness. She has a black collar around her neck as well, barely hiding scars across her throat.

For those who don't know her, she looks like she might have come from a war zone, so outfitted with weapons she is-- there's a strange blade hanging from a harness at her hips, a quiver strapped to her back, and a compound bow slung over her shoulder.]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. My name is Naminé. Sorry I wasn't around to say hello for when all the other newcomers were coming in, but I had to get some...well, affairs in order.

[She pauses a moment before her lips curve into a small smile.]

According to the network, it's almost Christmas, so if anyone needs a last minute gift for a loved one, please feel free to ask for me. I'm an artist. Any commission from me, large or small, is free for the holiday season. After that, I'll have to start charging so I can keep my apartment. [A huff of laughter.]

If anyone else is interested in a little sparring, I'm up for that too. I'll be in Capricorn.

[Private to all KH Casts]

[She breathes out slowly, her eyes searching. Conflicted.]

...hi. I know you're here. Can we talk? Please? I want to see you all.

[ Okay. It is time for Kanaya to reach out. She cannot sit in her little human respite block forever in between bothering Rose(s?). Still...

Being in a city filled with aliens on an alien planet with alien...everything else gave her little motivation to actually do this. Should she do a video introduction like she has seen others do? No, then she risks a thousand responses that amount to gawking at her.

A vocal introduction? Maybe. No, never mind, no way in Hell is she doing that. She can only imagine the awkward fumbling of words she would inevitably spew out as some poor imitation of talking.

Well. There is only one way to outreach to the masses and introduce herself while keeping some of her dignity. Comments about her typing style would be easier to deal with than comments about her species. ]

[ TEXT ]

Hello Hinoto Ri
Uh

[ Shit. She really should have, like. Written a rough draft or something. Doing this on the fly is not working, but too late now. ]

My Name is kanaya maryam
it is nice to meet you i guess
not the city itself i mean the populace as in whoever is reading this
im sure it will be nice to meet you once i actually meet some of you
seeing as i have hardly met anyone at all
but i would like to assume that the average individual that will respond to this will be nice to meet
or at least tolerable
uh

[ Wow, talking to strangers is so much easier when you are trying to be condescending and snarky in the process instead of not. ]

anyway before i say anything i regret
more so than i have
uh
yeah thats all i have got

oh wait
does anyone remember anything about butterflies
i am kind of fond of them for reasons i wont bother to explain due to well inevitably causing more confusion than clarity
and i swear i saw some but i cant remember why or where for the life of me

ok there we go
that is all i have to say
bye i think

[...So, if having everyone suddenly singing and dancing wasn't embarrassing enough?

There's this guy over here who was meaning to turn the feed on to ask for explanation on this madness.

Safe to say it didn't work at all.

So yeah, he's going to just turn it off and turn to text instead.]

[Text;]
...Does anybody know why we're suddenly living in a sodding musical, of all things that could have happened this month?

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. ]

[Rise appears to have set up her camera in the park - currently sunny tank-top weather, which she finds preferable for this kind of thing - to ask everyone a question. Naturally, at this time and this being Rise, she's singing and holding the watch part of her COMP like a microphone.]

( Cut for lengthy song lyrics )

[She blinks, and looks down at the COMP she was holding.]

Man, if I knew I was gonna do that one I'd have gotten a costume...

acapriciousthing

[Something has been bothering Death as December crawls forward.]

Do terrible things tend to happen here right around major holidays?

[She sounds rather calm about the whole thing, but she still would rather like to know.]

misery_hates_company

*Everybody's phones picks up a signal from Misery. Looks like she's advertising again... Hang on, is she singing? Although it seems slightly modified.*

I've again popped around today
Sellin' promises and potions
That could
Take a memory away
Help forget you'd ever met her

Tell me
Can't I please
Kindly take away the misery?
Give you
A baker's dozen please
Wrap you up to go away

*And then, suddenly, the line cuts. A few minutes later, it pops back up, and Misery looks a bit, uh...

Yeah.*

...get this blasted thing to -- ah, it's coming out normal again, good. That's the SECOND time I've had that happen in a communication today! That... SINGING. I NEVER sing. Isn't this blasted insane weather enough torment?
