[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.]

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.]

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?

Jingle bells, jingle bells~! { Garnet is looking quite rosy. Though she is bundled up against the cold, her arms are almost overwhelmed by a platter of cookies. }

I think I'm getting into the Christmas spirit! I even made a wreath! { She shows it off for a moment. }

I'm not sure about having a whole tree in my apartment. { It would be hard for her to lug one inside. } Is there some kind of law about Christmas trees?

{ She looks worried for a moment before shaking her head and setting the platter down. }

If you would like some cookies - they're free! - come by my apartment. I'm in Libra 5-06.

Oh and merry Christmas! { She waves merrily before ending the feed. }

[On the network, Mia starts a post with a simple text entry. She types several things to practice typing - simple words, like area, "The World" (a couple times, as she figures out how to capitalize), and sometimes just randomly presses keys. When she's done, it looks a bit strange;]

area the world. The world. The World. Rnfjhbdspw1246. ! :) ?

[Soon after that is the Audio section of the post.]

So this is what it looks like on this side. Very interesting. I've never had to use keys like that before. I wonder what the controls for a character are actually like.

I've been exploring the city. I see there are a few ways to travel besides walking, and there's no warping. Can someone explain to me what they are? They're rather interesting looking things.

[Rose has managed to get settled into her apartment in the Pisces district. It is still fairly bare, but she has hung up the few clothes brought with her in the closet and has a few nick-knacks on the shelves near her bed. She is seated at the foot of the bed, legs delicately crossed as she surveys the watch camera--much preferring already to the strange glasses.

She is still not certain that this isn't just a trick of the dream bubbles or perhaps Lord English--or simply SBURB itself--but her intuition tells her it's somewhere completely new. And that is precisely what worries her. Rolling a small white ball in her other hand, she addresses the video with a small smirk, projecting an air of nonchalance and confidence that is not entirely faked.]

Greetings, my name is Rose Lalonde. I am new to the city and this world, and I would appreciate any advice or information you might have--especially as it pertains to returning to our own worlds. I am afraid I do not have much time to trifle about here. There is much work to do in my own universe.

I would also be grateful to hear if anyone has seen my friends. Their names are John, Jade, and Dave. If you have not seen them, my other companions might have been easier to spot. They are an alien race of trolls with gray skin and horns. I would be willing to barter for information about their safety and location

doesasordered

[This new guy decided to lay low for a few days and get his bearings. But now he has to just get on the network and ask. Have a confused-looking gentleman with a somewhat monotone voice and Russian accent pop up on your screen.]

I know that I'm new, but... is the weather always like this here? Or is something strange going on? Since I got here, it's been unbearably hot one day, then unbearably cold the next.

I suppose I have a lot of questions, but that's the one that really jumps out at me right now. I'm just wondering if I should be getting sunscreen or a parka...

abmoemination

[ Hey folks, who remembers this girl? Even if you don't, she's ready to introduce herself in the best of ways possible: by completely ignoring the fact she was missing in the first place and diving right into the holidays. But wait, how does an alien lifeform know anything about human holidays? ]

'tis the season to be ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!! [ Spoilers: she doesn't. ]

That's the human tradition I researched desperately before my arrival to the planet Earth! You think if they were to come up with something memetic that it would at least make sense. Heed my advice, whimpering mortals. Translate something first before putting it on display for everyone to see. A translation error with so many notes, geez...

[ A gasp. ] Oh, but that's not why I'm contacting everyone. I wanted to show off my own bit of holiday spirit. Are you ready?

[ Without even waiting for an answer, she'll turn the watch around to show off a corner of her apartment. Oh look, it's a Christmas tree. Sorta.

It stands stationary in place although it might appear the tentacles are wriggling every so often. That's just a trick of the mind though, isn't it? ]

Doesn't this earn your favor, imouto? Oh, Mahiro, you should come by too♥ [ She pauses after that for a brief moment. ] Wait, do you even celebrate that holiday in this part of the world?
