[Have you had your daily quota of kooky redhead yet, City? Well, obviously not! As demonstrated by Vanille fiddling with her device, managing to turn the video feed on midway through a sentence.] -so! What's this Christmas thing everyone's been talking about? I heard a few things about presents!

Been wonderin' the same thing myself.

[heldourfate]

You mean, about Christmas?

[makinghoscroak]

Yeah. I never heard of it til comin' to this dump.

[heldourfate]

Me neither! But it doesn't sound bad! [She pauses, considering something.] Do you think you're still allowed to celebrate it if you don't come from the world it comes from?

[valentineluke]

Depending on one's view:

An oppressive religion's observance that usurped a pagan holiday to favor an over-rated child's birth which has become synonymous with crass commercialism.

Showing appreciation to select acquaintances.

[heldourfate]

... Oh.

[heldourfate]

-I think I like that second definition better!

[overreached]

Apparently it involves decorating a tree.

[Words cannot begin to express how pointless she finds the idea much less the actual doing of it.]

[heldourfate]

Decorating a tree? [Vanille looks thoughtful for all of two seconds.] Hey, that sounds like it could be fun! Do you think we could get a tree?

[Well, she doesn't think it's pointless at all. In fact, Vanille thinks it would be cool. :|]

[overreached]

...

[Light stares at her levelly for a moment.]

We could.

[But why? It's implied but she just crosses her arms.]

I'm not decorating it though. That's all you.

[heldourfate]

All right! I can do that! [SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. And totally beaming in Lightning's direction for agreeing. And also possibly ignoring the but why? undertone.] It'll look pretty, Light! You'll see. I can make some things to go on it.

[letxequalnull]

It is one of many holidays to dot the year.

[heldourfate]

A holiday...

What do people do during it?

[letxequalnull]

Celebrate the spirit of giving.

[heldourfate]

Oh, so that's what the presents are for! [NOW IT MAKES SENSE.]

[whackaspirit]

[Hey, he recognizes that voice! Sorry that he's been away for a month that he only noticed her return now;;]

Vanille?

[video]

[heldourfate]

[It is totally okay! Since... she... doesn't remember anyone.. :c]

Yep, that's me! [A pause, because wait hold on how does he know her.] Wait... Who's this?

[video]

[whackaspirit]

[Awww but hey~ could always get reacquainted~<3 Tho with much confusion~ XDD; He slightly raised a brow to her questioning though allowed it to slide for the moment.]

It's Klarth F. Lester. One of Arche's friends. I wasn't aware you've returned.

[video]

[heldourfate]

[yes, they could! |D Vanille will look even more confused at the mention of Arche's name.]

Well, it's nice to meet you, Klarth! But... I don't know an Arche, either! [A pause.] A few people have recognised me, though. I think I forgot the last time I was here.
