My, isn't the town getting festive? If I didn't know any better, I would almost mistake this for a normal American town...

Even though we may be captives here, I don't think there's anything wrong with getting into the Christmas spirit a little. Perhaps showing a bit of real holiday cheer will remind our captors that we are not toys for them to

O... Okay.

You've had a nice long vacation here. But it ends today. We have a lot of work to do, Chrona, and I will not tolerate slacking.

Do you understand?

[There's a loooong pause before Chrona speaks.]

W... What kind of work...?

[private]

[hellooo_witch]

We're going to do whatever it takes to return home, Chrona. I will not be made a prisoner in this place. If that means helping our fellow prisoners, then fine.

But if it means hurting them- and it most likely will -we will need to do so. Understood?

[redrose_failure]

... Remind me again what "Christmas" is?

[hellooo_witch]

Christmas is a holiday, of course! Haven't you noticed the decorations around town?

[redrose_failure]

So that's what they're for... But why do we celebrate it? Was a war won on Christmas or something?

[hellooo_witch]

No, no... It's a Christian holy day, celebrating the birth of their savior. Of course, many other people celebrate it as well. It's day for togetherness and good cheer. [ugggggggggh]

"Nurse? Well that's good.

I get hurt pretty ☠☠☠☠ often here."

[hellooo_witch]

Ah. Well, if you need any healing, please don't be afraid to call for me.

[heartstar_blues]

"Thanks, I guess I lucked out this time."

[The Captain's last not!wife was more obviously homicidal.]

[hellooo_witch]

Yes, so it seems. As I said, I was a nurse back home, so it is not as though I'm unqualified for the position.

[hellooo_witch]

Have there been problems with them in the past?

[sonic_enforcer]

It's nothing. It's my job, after all.

[hellooo_witch]

Oh, you are a policewoman, then?

[sonic_enforcer]

Not according to this place, but I am.

[hellooo_witch]

That's so good to hear. I think I can sleep a little safer knowing that you're looking out for us.
