[ The Christmas spirit alone is bad enough, but the mansion's recent shrinking program? No, thanks. In fact... ]

Aww, I love kids. I hope you're all having a great time!

[ Yeah, stick that up your pipe and-- WAIT, WHAT?! ]

*Have a lil' Maskers. He brought you a pressie! They're poorly wrapped and sticking out of the paper because he didn't think to put it on a box. They look suspiciously like this.*

Hi!

[defiant_eye]

What the hell is that supposed to--

Aren't you the most adorable little thing?

[timisnotme]

Whatchya doin?

[defiant_eye]

Wondering who I have to kill to make t--

Just getting into the Christmas spirit. Looking at the decorations, all the beautiful lights...

[ She looks at his present now. What the-- ]

Is that for me? ♥

I... Never thought you were the 'kid loving' kind.

[He's actually a little bit confused by that. Something seems out of place.]

[defiant_eye]

[ She's not. Fuck this mansion. And you? Go away. ]

I am! Aren't they the sweetest?

By the way, I'm really sorry about brushing you off last time. It's great talking to you again!

[ ....DAMN IT! ]

[flying_cuffs]

[If Zenigata wasn't exactly 'buying' the children love part, he definitely isn't going to believe she's actually happy about seeing him. Even though she sounds terribly sincere, something sounds off.]

Are you feeling OK?

[defiant_eye]

I'm great, I'm really great!

[ Those might've been her exact words too, but the sarcasm didn't make it, somehow. ]

How could I not be? It's Christmas!

And how are you? ♥

[So suspicious.]

[defiant_eye]

[WHAT?! ]

...Hello? Someone there? Merry Christmas! ♥

[playingbadcop]

...It's Benny. I, uh. I didn't know you liked Christmas. So much.

[defiant_eye]

[ She clenches her teeth, trying to control the words coming out of her mouth. If this transmission was video, then her face would very much betray her opinion on her lack of success. ]

Benny. Sweetie. Of course I don't do.

I... couldn't... give a rat's ass about all of it imagine what a year would be like without it.

[Kayako does not understand all this Christmas crap.

Or this...good cheer. >B|

Have a video transmission of total darkness and a very faint intermittent shuffling noise.]

[defiant_eye]

[ AHAHAHAHAHAHA, CHOKE ON THE CHEER! CHOKE ON IIIIIIT! I mean-

What do you want?! I mean- ]

Hello~? Happy Holidays! ♥

[disjointed_dead]

[Kayako can't handle all this merriness, forced or otherwise. The feed buzzes into VERY loud static, then dies.]

[defiant_eye]

[ But- BUT- All the happiness and the love! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE LOVE!

...SIGH of relief. At least somebody who doesn't force her to vomit cheer. ]
