Yasuke would be sitting in a chair with snow surrounding him as well with presents as he sat there waiting for the boys and girl ~~AND HOPEFULLY MILFS~~ to see what they wanted for Christmas.

Are you available at this moment… master, could you meet me by the c-christmas plaza…? I have… a surprise for you! A lone goddess could be seen standing upon the center of the wide plaza near the massive evergreen trunk, holding a small box wrapped in red and white gift wrappings in her arms, she looked nervous, anxious even, she had a arm behind her back, a forefinger twirling her raven locks, her gaze shifting ever so often across the far horizons of the snowy fields, looking expectantly for her master's arrival. A pinkish hue was upon her cheeks, the goddess luckily wasn't dressed upon her usual attire, instead she had donned a heavy beige winter coat with a white shirt beneath, alongside a pleated short skirt with matching black stockings, though it was still cold, with this, the goddess wouldn't be in any immediate danger of frostbite like she had been when she had first entered this simulation with nothing except her usual attire, which of course simply consisted of two thin pieces of fabric.

Her master would be in the hallways of chaldea about to head to the virtual battle simulation for some training until he was contacted by Ishtar. Strange Ishtar had a surprise for him? He wanted to make a joke about it being a bunch of more slaps like when he first summoned her but decided against it. He had the feeling that might not be such a good idea. Sure, I'm free right now. I'll meet you there ok? I'll be there in 5 minutes or less ok? He turned back around and made his way back to his room, making a quick stop to drop his weapons off since he was no longer going to the virtual battlespace. Once he did that he made haste rushing to get to the Christmas plaza. He was assaulted by the cold created by the simulation but he had resistance to cold so he was fine. He spotted Ishtar and walked up to her, waving his hand as he came closer. "Hey, Ishtar. I'm here now, I made it in the time I said I would. Now, what's this surprise you wanted to show me. Also, where did you get the clothes?" He was glad Ishtar had some better clothes to keep her warm in this simulation. He wasn't so sure that she had a resistance to the cold like he did so seeing her dressed in better clothes silenced any worries about Ishtar freezing.

@Pot | Lilith

A universal law that seems to apply to all, even the goddess herself isn't exempt from such, the rule being: one's perception of time is slowed considerably when in desire for something, a perfect example in this case, only a few minutes has passed, yet the goddess had her hands on her hips, pacing around the plaza impatiently, her eyes shifting to the grandfather clock upon the center every few seconds or so, even tempted to call upon her master through their telepathic link to hurry him. Yet, just before so, her dear master had appeared upon the horizon, holding a jolly look befitting of the festive spirits whilst waving at her from afar, though… something caught her notice with his appearance almost instantly, and it concerned her greatly, since she had personally made the same mistake and it would have costed her greatly if not for the timely appearance of her sister, that being the lack of any suitable clothing for such wintry temperatures upon himself. As such, the goddess instantly dropped any words of discontentment she had for his supposed late arrival, instead she held an expression of concern, her brows closely knitted together with pursed lips, she took off her warm winter coat, before wrapping it around her master without a word. As a servant, she figured she'd be more resistant against environmental factors compared to her mere human master, and of course she didn't know that he was resistant to the cold; with such thoughts, the goddess passed her coat to him without a second thought, which albeit was a little too small to fit him, bht anything to provide even the slightest bit of warmth would do.

10:26 PM

“Jeez, master what were you thinking coming out like this… don't you know the temperature here is practically like the arctic!” To prove a point, the goddess brought her palms near her face, blowing lightly, her breath that came in contact with the chilly air instantly condensed to a frosty mist, now with such temperatures… having gave away her coat, the goddess was now practically defenseless against the harsh environmental effects, although faring much better than last time with a long sleeve chaldean uniform compared to her original attire. “I-I can't have my own master getting sick…” Ishtar, now realizing the extent of her actions, quickly blurted out an excuse before crossing her arms, averting her gaze with a pout to her lips, truly a tsundere at heart. “My sister, Ereshkigal, gave me the coat a few hours back… w-well, how does it look?!” “I'll show you at the end, it's a surprise for a reason, r-right…” A surprise that isn't clearly hidden at all, truly not at all, she still held the wrapped box within her arms, it wasn't difficult to tell what's the surprise is, as such… the goddess trailed off nervously, it was clear she hadn't really thought this entire process completely through.

@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel

He paused once she took off her winter coat and wrapped it around him. It was a nice coat and it was pretty warm which was good cause it didn't seem like Ishtar was resistant to the cold like he was. He found her concern for him to be nice though. He smiled at Ishtar before taking off the winter coat she gave him. He did exactly what she did with the jacket, wrapped it around his servant. "Nice to know you're concerned about me and stuff but you shouldn't be worried about me. I'm pretty resistant to this type of temperature. It kinda comes with being what I am and even if it didn't I can't just let my servant and goddess get a cold can I?" He couldn't have any of his servants being in any form except their best. He raised an eyebrow upon hearing Ishtar's sister, Ereshkigal was here. That would be a conversation topic for later. Did she get the chaldea uniform from her as well? Last he remembered she was in those revealing clothes. He was glad she wasn't in them at the moment as he was have dragged her out of the simulation and gotten her better clothes by force. "So that's where you got the coat? Is that where you got the clothes as well? And the jacket is nice but it's better on you." At the end? That raised a few questions in Nagato's head. Did Ishtar have more than just showing him this surprise planned? His eyes trailed to the wrapped box in her arms, well he was already here and he had been training enough as is. A day off or two won't hurt. "Alright, alright so what did you want to do before you show me the surprise?" He was now on board to do whatever Ishtar wanted to do. Within reason of course. He was still a massive no on the feet kissing and that wouldn't change at all.

@Pot | Lilith

A goddess whom's face seems to stiffen from his actions, a light furious blush crept up upon her face, her cheeks turning several shades darker than before, she didn't exactly know how to react to this… should she be enraged for the fact that she had made a fool out of herself for naught, or perhaps even happy at the fact that her master appreciated the sentimental values her actions held…? Either way, her master's next line of questions had greatly stumped her, leaving her no room nor time to ponder on such trivial matters, instead the goddess began sweating profusely, the back of her uniform now drenched in cold sweat despite such chilly temperatures, placing a hand awkwardly on her neck in a futile attempt to look somewhat natural, it didn't help her case either when she broke her gaze away from her master in a expression of guilt, a nervous chuckle elicited from her lips. A serious mental dilemma, though it wasn't hard to tell that she hadn't acquired this uniform by any normal means, there were two options for her, to feign innocence and lie to her master, or to spill the truth, neither of which she wanted to do. Instead, the goddess decided to come out with a half-truth, afterall, it wasn’t like she’s keeping it permanently, she’s merely “borrowing” it for the time being, right?! “I-... this u-uniform?” “I sto- b-borrowed it from… right, Touko Sakimori… ehe” A long pause as she attempted to recall whom the uniform truly belonged to, she remembered seeing the nameplate on the door of the dorm where she pilfered the clothes from afterall, but… before the words of her misdeeds had settled in her master’s mind, the goddess quickly pulled her master along by the hand in an attempt to change the topic and jumble his thoughts. “I-I remember seeing a large big wheel with carriages, I’ve heard people call it… A ferris wheel, mhn… would you like to accompany me upon it, m-master…?”

He mentally questioned how prepared she was when she asked him to come out here as she seemed to be unprepared. Although he wouldn't voice that at all. Although hearing her bring up a familiar name of one of the master candidates made him remember how they meet. "You... Got them from Touko? Huh... Well as long as you return it to Touko. She is a friend of mine so I'm sure she'll be fine with it. If not uh... I'll talk to her?" He was pulled along by his Servant in her attempt to jumble his thoughts. It worked? His mind was no longer on the subject of Touko and the clothes Ishtar had stolen from her. Seems they were going to the Ferris wheel, when was the last time he got on one of those? It's been so long since that time. "Sure, when we get to the top I'm sure we'll be able to see all this simulation has to offer up there!" Nagato was currently being hit with nostalgia hard as he was dragged by Ishtar to the Ferris wheel. Memories of his childhood flashed in his mind, times were so simpler back then but he enjoyed the present. What was he being an old man for? He should be having fun! "While We're up there maybe you can spot your sister if she's still around in the simulation. Maybe I could spot some of the people I know. Speaking of, are you the older sister or younger one?"

@Pot | Lilith ~~move to Ferris wheel now?~~

In the center of the town stands a massive christmas tree. If you've been good, you might find a present lying under it.

Having come to see what this Christmas stuff in Chaldea was about, Ayumi took her first step into the Christmas plaza. Her eyes wandered around, looking all over the place and taking in the Christmas spirit from seeing this place. This was nice... a break well deserved for them all. She felt like her soul was slowly being healed from this sight... that wasn't true but you know... it felt like it. She would do her best this Christmas to enjoy it and make sure she spent time with her friends. Speaking of friends, she should try to learn more about what they like to get them a Christmas present. That was gonna be a lot of work but she would do it! She's got this!

Sirius was off in the plaza rolling around in the snow. He hadn't seen snow in a while because the lab lady didn't want him getting hurt from the cold. He hadn't gotten to play in it in a while, so he was happily enjoying himself nearby. He sat up, seeing Ayumi, giving her a wave. dogecute

”It truly is nice here isn’t it.” Well there was a voice not sure if Ayumi knows who he is but the boy is here of course as he walks over to Ayumi and Sirius as he would just smirk crossing his arms. “It’s been a while since I had celebrated this holiday…”

“Yo, Ryugawa!” Won-ok was rapidly approaching her location. A familiar face was bound to be accosted. “Here to check out the tree?” He too, was here on a mission. If there were Christmas stalls, there were gifts. If there were gifts, there were people to give them too. And if one if the people who was on his super secret list was here, then… Obviously, he had some scouting to do. But also… “It’s so damn cold.” When he exhaled, his breath was visible. When he coughed… “I love your scarf. Blue really is your color.”

Sirius shakes some snow out of his hair as more people approach, looking over at all of them to see what was going on

There were some familiar faces around here! There was Won-ok and Sirius, people she has met before and worked alongside with on missions! Then... um... who was that guy in the red again? She felt like she should know him but nothing was coming to her mind right now... oh geez now she felt bad cause she most likely forgot him. She waved to Sirius and Won-ok. "Hello Won-ok." She greeted to him as him came up to her, he was a pretty tall guy. "It's one of the reasons why I've come here today but mostly just to take a break from work, you know?" She nodded, despite this being a simulation, they perfectly managed to simulate the cold weather for this type of thing. "Oh! Thank you! I thought it looked nice once when I was shopping and bought it. No big story behind it sadly but Blue is one of my favorite colors so thank you!"

Emiya folds his arms as he smirks looking at the massive Christmas tree he lets a smirk before thinking about his past and how maybe everyone would've loved this but they aren't here anymore so he might as well enjoy the time while it lasts.

Dann would walk out onto the snow, seeing the crowd seeming to form. A simulation huh... It was pretty nice. Compared to the winters he has experienced it wasn't all that bad so far. Probably designed to be cold enough for most people to enjoy without freezing too much. A perfect mood setter. "Hey." He'd wave to Ayumi, Sirius and Won-ok. "Seems like you guys are all here."

2

"Many friends!" Sirius threw some powdery snow up into the air, rolling around in it a bit more before getting up and dusting themself off. dogecute

"...Seems like someone enjoys the snow a lot."

Ha. He was right! Blue was her favorite color. (Not that it hadn’t been obvious.) “Hey, Dann. Seems like we are.” “Wh— huh?” He ducked away from the sudden snow, but he wasn’t mad. In fact, he laughed. “Nice to meet you too.” He had no idea who that was. But he was in a festive mood! “You guys got any plans for here? Christmas shopping, skiing, ice skating, hot cocoa drinking?”

"Hello Dann. Glad to see you here." She returned the wave with a smile on her face, she raised her hand blocking a bit of the snow from hitting her face. She had to agree with Sirius though there were quite a few of her friends here, what wasn't there to be happy about with friends in this setting and snow? "Well the snow can be pretty fun after all, there are many fun activities you can do with your friends in the snow.

"Oh hey it's you again." Emiya noticed Dann as he walks over to him. "So how you been doing?"

"Well I do plan to do a bit of shopping, I've never been skiing or ice skating before so I'll give those a try when I have the chance but I mostly planned to try to spend time with my friends."

"....Ah." Oh right....Christmas... ...How'd he forget?! Perhaps because he really hadn't celebrated Christmas in a long time. "....I honestly didn't really uh....Have a plan." He'd then look over at Emiya for a moment. "Uh...Fine enough? Oh right I met the other you. The actual living one. Didn't think you were a Counter Guardian. Must suck huh...?"

"Ah so you met him.....well I'd be lying if I said I didn't regret my choices but I also be lying saying I wouldn't do it again if I was given an option." Emiya expression changed after Dann mentioned him meeting his past self. "Though he can be reckless that's just how he is also how did you even know that was me?"

"Shopping? Are you getting sweets or something? There are a lot of colorful things here for some reason. Is there something going on soon?" Sirius had never experienced christmas before, and had no idea what it was. He had greek heritage and knowledge for a few festival that might involve gift giving, but he never really got to experience them and thought the world didn't even celebrate those ancient traditions anymore. He didn't get special presents at the lab at least.

"Ah so you met him.....well I'd be lying if I said I didn't regret my choices but I also be lying saying I wouldn't do it again ...

@Archer (Shirou Emiya) (@Zi-O) - jump "....Same abilities, weapons, same face...Both of you practically did the same thing. It's hard not to see how similar you two are in terms of abilities. Especially experiencing and witnessing both. I beat him pretty soundly in a spar. I've also seen you whip out Noble Phantasms before. Same swords and everything." "....Also if you'd make the same choice again I gotta say you must be pretty stupid. At least you're admitting you're kinda stupid."

1:24 PM

"I also told the other you taking that deal was stupid so...Maybe he won't in the future."

~~The deal with Morgan was retcon so he never took it~~

All Dann knows is that you gotta make a deal with Alaya to be a counter guardian. He's saying whatever deal Emiya took was stupid. Doesn't matter which one it was.

"Shopping? Are you getting sweets or something? There are a lot of colorful things here for some reason. Is there something goin...

@Sirius Lykous (@Krev | Ama | Siri | Dom | Beo) - jump What the hell was a Counter Guardian. But he had a more pressing question to attend to. “Every year, on December 25th, a fat man with a white beard and red suit comes to your house and gives you a ton of cool presents.” “And also, friends and families get each other to give each other gifts. To celebrate him.” This was totally accurate. Totally.

"Again I would be lying if I said I wouldn't take the same deal, my past self is just that determined." Emiya raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Also I get the same weapons and face but I'm not the only one who uses Projection but never mind."

What the hell was a Counter Guardian. But he had a more pressing question to attend to. “Every year, on December 25th, a fat m...

@Won-ok Cha (@squire | Sa, Wo, PF, XB, Ot) - jump Sirius tilted their head. "Wait, but the fat man never visited me? Is he bad at finding people?"

…Right. “Oh, yeah. Sometimes. That’s why people write him letters telling him what they want. So it’s easier to find them.”

"Well duh, I use Projection too....It's more so projecting Noble Phantasms that tipped me off right away." "What really tipped me off the most when he pulled out the exact same twin sword combo." He'd clap his hands together. "Regardless. Christmas! Santa Claus and the like. I haven't celebrated that in forever!"

”It’s been a long while since I have can’t say I have anyone to celebrate it with.”

"Oh! I should write him a letter this year then! Who do I send it too... Also how do I send letters?" At least Sirius could write. He didn't know some things, especially since sending letters had gone out of fashion for a bit now

"....Hm. This place has a Ferris Wheel...." When he was a kid, he was afraid of heights but now... He knew where to bring Su right away. "You said there was an ice skating place Ayumi? Maybe we could head there later to check it out as a group." ".....I really need to get some presents huh...."

“Hell yeah. I love ice skating.” Won-ok turned back to Sirius. “Hm…” “Address it to Santa Claus, at the North Pole.” Oh god. Did he just dig himself into a hole? “As for sending it… It’s a little different when it comes to Santa Claus, but your best bet is the post office.” “…I’m sure Chaldea has one, right?” He coughed. “Oh, me too, Dann. We can all go window shopping together?”

“Hell yeah. I love ice skating.” Won-ok turned back to Sirius. “Hm…” “Address it to Santa Claus, at the North Pole.” Oh god....

@Won-ok Cha (@squire | Sa, Wo, PF, XB, Ot) - jump "Hmm... Can I just give it to you?" Sirius tilted their head the other way

Oh no. “Ah. Haha.” “…” “…Sure!” The hole! The hole! He was digging himself in deeper!

Man that hole looks pretty deep....

Oh no. “Ah. Haha.” “…” “…Sure!” The hole! The hole! He was digging himself in deeper!

@Won-ok Cha (@squire | Sa, Wo, PF, XB, Ot) - jump "ok! I will be right back!" He rushed off to go write his letter to Santa for what he wanted for christmas

"Mhm! There is one from what I heard about this place! I would be up to go check it out as a group! I've been wanting to learn how to Ice skate!" Ah... that was a deep hole Won-ok this could be ba- oh dear...

“D-dude.” Won-ok turned back to the rest of the group. He didn’t say anything else. The look on his face said it all.

"D-don't worry Won-ok... I'll help you out with it." She couldn't just let Won-ok handle this by himself nor did she want Sirius to be upset.

"....Man you really should've just kept it to giving each other gifts part huh." Dann had gotten a little enjoyment watching that hole being dug deeper and deeper. There was a weirdly impish side of him that enjoyed the slight torment in some of his friends, deep within his heart. "Well. First things first we gotta see what he wants and then get a guy to dress up as Santa for him. Preferably one of the Servants that can pass for him..."

1:51 PM

"Pretty sure there's an old man we can get to do it."

2

Emiya would just sit down as he would just ponder about someone a few people actually just wondering how they are doing. “…..”

“Thank you, Ryugawa. You’re an angel sent from above. God bless.” He turned to Dann, his cringing expression dropping into a flat, mock annoyance. “Oh yeah. It’s all very funny. Feel free to laugh.” But he was already over it. Accept your place in the hole, Cha Won-ok! “But sure, it’s Christmas. Let’s get into the spirit and go jump an old man.” “Whatever gift request the guy has, I’ll handle it. We’ll handle it.” “Looks like we’re Santa’s elves.” (edited)

"Ah come on, don't be like that. I'm going to help. This feels like something out of one of those TV Disney Channel Christmas Movies they air for one year only and then get forgotten about. I can't miss out on this sort of thing." He'd chuckle a bit. "Won-ok the Christmas Miracle Maker. We'll see how this goes. Ayumi, do you know anyone that could fit for a Santa role? If not we can stake out the Cafeteria for a day or two."

Silk was making her way through the Christmas Plaza to put a small present box of her own under the large Christmas tree in its center when she noticed the group of Ayumi, Dann, Won-ok and Sirius. "Oh, you guys."

"I think something like that isn't suited for someone like me..." Being called an angel was embarrassing. "Oh, it does feel like one of those does it? Now I have to make sure this is a great success!" How nice this was, Ayumi's smile was bright as she was enjoying herself with friends and she considered this to be fun. "Hmm... they would have to be decently old to fit the Jolly Old Saint Nickolas although I'm pretty sure there are some people that can use magecraft to alter their appearance... there are also a few people that are good at disguises so maybe one of them could help?" She heard a familiar voice and turned, see saw Silk, and waved at her. "Hello, Silk!"

A little late, but a convinient old man appears...

I am also late, sorry!

“A Disney Channel Original Movie…” He’ll accept it. It was funny. “Ah. Hello.” He didn’t recognize the purple haired newcomer, but Ayumi did, so he greeted her back. And… A hissed whisper. “…Hey. Do you see that.” He was old. But. “Worst case scenario, we make that guy stuff a pillow up his shirt.” (edited)

2

"Oh hello!" Dann would wave at Silk, he....might've recognized her? He wasn't sure. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he sees him... An old man. The real question was...can he be made to look jolly? "Course I see it." This kept getting better and better. He can see all the pieces fitting into place already! "Oh! Hey Chloe!" He'd wave to Chloe. "Come on over!"

Chloe noticed Dann and carefully waddled towards him attempting not to fall over on any ice "Hello Dann."

"Hey! I don't think you've met Won-ok before. Won-ok, this is Chloe. Chloe this is Won-ok. There's also Ayumi and...Sirius was here a while ago." He'd turn to take a glance around. "But he went to write a letter to Santa. So..."

She noticed it! A convenient old man had appeared! That works! She nodded to Won-ok, He'll do! Just have to make him look jolly somehow. "Ah, It's you! The girl I met on the beach that one time! Thank you for that talk by the way. I don't know if I formally introduced myself last time but I'm Ayumi Ryugawa! A pleasure to meet you again Chloe!"

This was all too convenient. All they had to do was convince him. But how? “Oh, hello, Chloe.” Another person he had yet to meet. He offered out his hand, an offer to balance her. “You alright? The ice wants to kick your ass real bad.”

"Ah Salutations Won-Ok, Ayumi, Sirius" She said before giving Dann a confused look

2:27 PM

"What's Santa?"

2:28 PM

"I am fine, i'm just not used to walking on ice" She said to Won-ok as she accepted his hand

Emil silently stands before a group of kids introducing themselves. He blinks. He just wanted to come check out the shiny tree. For some reason, he feels like he is being conspired against.

"Aaaah right. You probably didn't celebrate Christmas either...."

Trent had walked to just admire the tree for a moment, hoping to just feel a little better at the moment. He noticed everyone else and just kinda waved at them. He was wearing much thicker clothing than normal and a beanie.

"Hi there, Chloe," Silk greeted the girl. Of course she knew everyone's names. She wasn't a senior for nothing. But come to think of it, she wasn't particularly close to anyone here. If you divided the Masters into generations based on their post-Fuyuki entry date, then these would all be a part of the newest generation, whether that was because they woke up out of cryostasis late or simply joined Chaldea after the Singularities were resolved. If you looked at it like that, most of the peers from her generation were already...

So Silk is the Mom of the Group?

"Oh... You don't celebrate Christmas?" Should they let Chloe in on the plan or let her discover the wonders of Christmas and Santa with Sirius? She noticed Trent and waved at him.

Emiya just pretty much chilling by himself as he was just thinking about something else as he was just enjoying the place.

Won-ok was more or less thinking the same thing as Ayumi. He shot a look at her, and then at Dann. Could they handle another Christmas miracle? "So. Santa. He's a big fat old man in a red suit..."

Deciding to be a little less gloomy he approached the others with a hand raised. Revealing he was even wearing black cotton gloves to keep warm. "Hey."

Silk gave a small wave.

Won-ok turned to Trent. He did not say hi. Instead... "Please, for the love of God. Please tell me you know what Christmas is."

"Oh hey Trent." He'd wave at Trent. "We're explaining Christmas to Chloe....and need to find a Santa for Sirius since uh....Well...I'll let Won-ok explain. He kinda dug the hole."

"Hello Trent, glad to see you decided to join us." She greeted to Trent. "Won-ok did dig the hole but we're going to help him! Do you want to join in?"

"."

A small wave.

"...I know what Christmas is. It was the one time of year everything in my family was normal...normalish anyways." He would nod towards Emil with a soft smile.

"Thank god-" The old man was approaching! Won-ok cleared his throat. # "Hey..."

@Ayumi Ryugawa (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump "No I came from a group of Druids, we didn't have such a festival."

"I think the closest thing might be...Chloe did your group of Druids ever celebrate Yule perchance?"

Dann just stared at Emil. "....Hey." His look...it was similar to that of a cat seeing a mouse.

Druid celebrations? thinking

2:44 PM

"Gh."

"H-Hey?" She said joining in with a confused look

Emil feels a chill run down his back, and no... it was not from the cold.

"Well you can celebrate it here now that you're in Chaldea! If you want to that is..." She wasn't gonna force Chloe to join in... What was going on with them? Why were they saying hey like that and towards the old man? "Hey?" She was just as confused as Chloe was here.

"Oh yeah! Yule is a thing!" "Every year, on December 25th, people get together and share gifts with each other. It's a holiday. They all put it under a big pine tree like that..." He points at the massive tree in the plaza. "The night before, and open it up in the morning. Usually." "A common... um. Story? About this holiday, is that a guy called Santa Claus flies around on his sleigh dragged by reindeer, visits families, and leaves gifts under their trees." "He lives up in the North Pole, has a toy workshop, and is helped by his little Christmas elves. Kids tell them what they want by writing letters to him. If they're nice, they get what they want. If they're naughty they get cold. Et cetera! Moving on!" "Um. I told a weird version of this to the grey haired scarred guy a bit ago. I forgot to mention that Santa kind of... may not... be real?" "So now... he's off writing a letter. And I'm the one who's supposed to deliver it to Santa." "It's a Christmas conspiracy." "And you!" Won-ok went straight for the kill, flinging a finger around at the old man, "Are you up for being a Santa? Saving a young man's dreams? Rekindling Christmas spirt!?" "...Please tell me you know what Christmas is..."

2:53 PM

"If you say no, we have to jump you and put a pillow case over your head." "And drag you away." What was he saying? How many holes can he dig?

"Pfhahahahaha!" Dann couldn't help but laugh a bit at the straight forwardness and the explaination. It was a bit absurd to hear. Perhaps the old guy would think this was a prank or something. "I'm the muscle for the Plan B! I'm not above using violence to get what we want!"

"...I could just use disguise self to be Santa claus...wouldn't be all that taxing thanks to the hat."

"........"

"Old men take priority! Sorry, old man."

"Don't say such silly things Trent!" It was obvious Dann didn't want to go with that plan of using Trent. This way was much more fun.

"Oh so this Santa is not real?"

"Um."

2:57 PM

"You know, with the way things are in Chaldea... he could be!?"

"He is. But he's pretty much busy when Christmas is so close."

"But today. We are Santa's elves. Well. If you guys want to be." "And Santa's elves need their Santa!"

"Yup!"

"I'm not putting on another goddamned elf costume." flashbacks to Morrigan

"Then be one of the reindeer, I don't fucking know!"

The ominous feeling is getting stronger. What are these silly kids planning in their silly little heads?! (edited)

"Yes! We are the elves and the elves need a Santa!" There were enough of them to fit the roles, some elves a reindeer or two, and Santa himself! "Be a Reindeer Trent!" It would look amusing to see Trent in a Reindeer costume.

Wearing a fake beard, a chest-windowed red cloak and tophatof same color, as well as a black belt and boots. The most swole Mall Santa in the world walks around to his position.

"...No"

"Why not? Don't you have any Christmas spirit?"

Suddenly, magical energy begins to pulsate from the large pine tree in the plaza's center.

”?” Emiya attention now draw towards the tree was quiet curious as to what will happen next.

"Please, old ma-" Was that Bhima? Wait never mind. "The Christmas tree!?"

???

"That is... unexpected..." She would stare at the tree wondering what was going on.

The ominous feeling is getting stronger. What are these silly kids planning in their silly little heads?!

@Emil (@felice | 🥜/🧓/👮🏻/🤺/💳) - jump "So old man, are you going to cooperate with us o-" Huh? Tree?

3:07 PM

".....That's not good."

3:08 PM

"Probably?"

A thin, semi-translucent layer of skin expands around the Christmas tree. By this point, this phenomenon is not unfamiliar anymore.. it's a bubble!!

”What the-“

Silk conveniently disappeared at some point since she's DMing this now

‍♀️ It is what it is.....

"Coopera-" Emil looks very concerned. And with the appearance of the bubble... He looks even more concerned than before. "I did not sign up for this."

"Goddamnit...just once..."

".......Ah shit."

He was still holding Chloe's hand! Maybe! Maybe the Christmas lore dump overwhelmed her. "Here we go again."

He was about to sit down on the mall santa chair under the tree when he suddenly disappears upon the veil being lowered.

The one day she didn't bring her sword! It's ok though! If it comes down to it, her family also taught her that these hands are rated E for everyone! "We... should probably move away from the tree.."

Vibes

"I should have expected this..."

Abraham enters the plaza, looking around curiously.

The bubble's membrane keeps expanding. Unlike a usual bubble world, this one does not simply sit idle until entered. It suddenly bursts out, pulling the surrounding characters into its world--!

"Guh!?"

"Woo...here we go again..."

”Ah great-“

"What the?-" Is now pulled into the bubble world.

Time for another adventure! This time without her sword! Hopefully, it won't be needed.

Sirius just finished his letter and was running back to go give it to Won-ok "Wha?!" He was shocked as he saw the bubble expanding, stumbling back slightly. He accidentally dropped his letter in shock at the expanding bubble, trying to jump for it as it blows in the wind into the bubble, getting consumed by the bubble as well

And now he's in the bubble. Fun.

After a moment of pause... Despite what just seemed to have happened, everyone is still in the same Christmas area as before.

He disappeared mid Yosh

7

”….Nothing changed…”

"...Nothing changed?" He didn't trust this shit, his Black Keys already in hand.

Sirius is busy chasing his letter on the wind now, having scrambled up from face planting since he had also braced himself to be teleported or something from the bubble... only for nothing major to happen

Emiya would summon his twin blades Kanshou and Bakuya as he would then reinforce them.

"...uh... I thought we would have been pulled somewhere else... I swore we were..." She didn't have her sword but she was ready to throw hands nonetheless.

".....Sooooooooooo."

On the ground, covered in a thin layer of snow.. ..Was a santa hat that had previously not been there.

"......Maybe we're no longer in a Simulation anymore?"

Abraham would keep looking around, suspicious. He was tenser than before, only to notice the hat.

He stared at the santa hat before slowly approaching it.

"The hat."

”Where the hell…”

"That could be a possibility..." She would look at the hat that was not there previously.

"The hat," Emil repeats. He just lost his convinient excuse to not dress up as santa this year. Poor guy.

"It's certainly a thing!" He said as saw the lone hat.

Selene will get Emil in a Santa outfit if it’s the last thing she does!!!!!!

1

"....Hat."

"Do we... does someone... put it on?"

”Who knows….”

There was another old man if needed, and he has a beard. Not Santa like, but good enough. "I don't know."

He moved to grab the hat.

"C/// ////// ///" "//n /// hear me?"

He is sitting down in the Santa chair, staring around with confusion at what the fuck just happened. He decides to follow the layer's expansion by walking towards the direction it expanded from, leading him to the group. "Huh? Oh. Abe. Shirou. Won-ok... Trent. Girly." He waves to them happily as he approach. His Santa beard is for some reason pink instead of white.

”Just call me Archer…”

"Oh. Hey little smart lady. I can hear you. A bubble just wrapped us up."

"Yeah, we read you Vinci, bit garbles though."

Abraham would follow behind Trent by a few feet, only to stop when he hears Da Vinci. "Hello?"

"Doubt she can hear us very well."

”Just call me Archer…”

@Archer (Shirou Emiya) (@Zi-O) - jump "But you introduced yourself as Shirou back in the house... That looks much better in you than the pink t-shirt by the way, man."

Man. Finding a Santa was the last thing on his mind now. Did the grey haired guy come back? Won-ok turned to look but the sudden hologram distracted him. "You're cutting out like crazy."

He was just squatting near the hat now, hand outstretched to grab the hat at a moments notice.

"But you introduced yourself as Shirou back in the house... That looks much better in you than the pink t-shirt by the way, man...

@Maruti Vrikodara (@Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu) - jump ”….he did what-“

"Oh uh... Shirou's the living human version of this guy. He's a Counter Guardian version from the...future I think. They don't like each other."

”This mother fucking….why would he.” Emiya would facepalm at his younger self stupidity.

”….he did what-“

@Archer (Shirou Emiya) (@Zi-O) - jump "Who did what?" He looks at the top hat Emil is carrying. "Oh. That one looks fluffy."

Sirius manages to catch his letter, just barely rolling past Won-ok as he did

"Oh uh... Shirou's the living human version of this guy. He's a Counter Guardian version from the...future I think. They don't l...

@Dann Bendemann (@Nyap (Dan/Nil/Mar/Gar/Lip/Han)) - jump "OOOOOOOOH...."

"I don't mean to alarm you, but you suddenly got pulled into a Singularity." "Is everyone all right? I'm getting a read on your vitals as soon as I can."

He lets out a Yosh in response.

"That could be a possibility..." She would look at the hat that was not there previously.

@Ayumi Ryugawa (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump ”Master, are you sure you are fine to be out in the cold like this so soon? What if your injuries act up?” Tomoe said, worried for her master after their last big fight, but still enjoying the cool, festive atmosphere a bit. She even dressed up for the winter too! She was still ready to guard her Master at a moment’s notice, however!

”I swear I’m smacking him once I see him again.”

"I'm alright. But yeah, we could tell that we got dragged into a Singularity....It's just like Halloween....At least I didn't get turned into a Cat this time."

"I don't mean to alarm you, but you suddenly got pulled into a Singularity." "Is everyone all right? I'm getting a read on your...

@Leonardo Da Vinci (Rider) (@Lara) - jump Bhima scratches his head in confusion. "But it looks exactly like the plaza I was supposed to be working at...? Man, the kids will be in shambles if they don't find me there."

"GAH!" Won-ok jumped in surprise as Sirus rolled by. "Oh, you're back! With your letter too." He turned away, towards Da Vinci. "I'm alright. Ignore my scream." Back to Sirius. "Feel free to pass me it when you can."

"This when Dann turns into a Snowman."

".....No."

"I don't know why it looks like our simulation, but--"

”But what?”

”Master, are you sure you are fine to be out in the cold like this so soon? What if your injuries act up?” Tomoe said, worried f...

@Tomoe Gozen | Archer of Inferno (@BS | Tomo/Uath/Tia/Taka) - jump "A singularity just popped up out of nowhere like that inside of Chaldea?" She was turn hearing Tomoe and would wave at her, seems she somehow got dragged along for the ride. "I'll be fine, I promise!" She had winter clothes this time.

"GAH!" Won-ok jumped in surprise as Sirus rolled by. "Oh, you're back! With your letter too." He turned away, towards Da Vinc...

@Won-ok Cha (@squire | Sa, Wo, PF, XB, Ot) - jump Sirius would hold up the hasty written, and now rather crumpled piece of paper. Of course it wasn't in an envelope or anything so it was easy to read if uncrumpled. He would then roll back onto his front then kip up as he looks around. "Even more friends showed up!" He was not concerned anymore at all about the actually dire situation they could be in

"That is very strange indeed." He keeps looking around, obviously not sure of the singularity's safety.

The faint song of Do You Wanna Build A Snowman from Asteria clearly can totally most definitely be heard in the distance. Completely yeah.

"Help mee!!!" A high-pitched (deep?) voice suddenly rang out. Quickly approaching, flying, towards the group, is a distressed, tiny object.

”….” Emiya would have his weapons disappear for now as he would notice the flying object. “What the!”

*"Well that's just too extremes right there isn't it?"

"They're gonna pull me by my ears! I'm too young to dieee!"

"H-Huh?!" Dann would jump up to try and catch the object. (edited)

”Aren’t you?” Emiya recognizes who this was their outfit and face gave it away of course he remembers the grail war he was in. “How are you so small?”

He just speeds towards the scream with no questions asked.

Abraham quickly turns around, facing the forest the tiny person came out of.

Selene was clearly just chillin with Emil, watching the chaos happily atop of Neme’s back.

Quickly following after the tiny, flying woman is a small army of armed mechas.

"That... huh?" She tilted her head upon hearing the voice yet again. Wait that was...* "Your a fairy... well no... more like a TV fairy than the ones we know of."

"Exterminate." "Allies of the fleshy pointy-ears must be exterminated."

"....."

Won-ok quickly tucked away the letter, not reading it just yet. "More friends," He agreed. And... "Not friends." A tiny woman with elf ears? Maybe he took the Christmas Elf joke too fa- "Oh."

”….Well this went from zero to a hundred real fast.” Emiya would then summon his blades again.

"R-Robots?"

Sirius's ears perk up, he wasn't wearing his hood but as he sees new people that weren't from Chaldea he quickly covers himself to hide the featuers as he gets ready to defend himself

Emil lets the others take care of the small flying object-- Nevermind, an entire army shows up! "What the hell..."

"Ah... we should help her out!"

"Quick, put on that Santa Hat and use its powers! Only the True Santas can defeat them!"

”Way ahead of you-what?”

".....Huh?"

”Hmm how troublesome… Care to join me on Neme’s back?” Selene looks to Emil, wanting him to be all nice and situated before chaos ensued.

She entered a fighting stance only to stop at what the fairy said. "Only... Santas can defeat them?" wouldn't that mean only one of them could be a 'True Santa'?

The hell we can’t even hurt them unless one of us is wearing that hat?

"Well you heard them. He said grabbing the hat and putting it on. "Fear me I am the Demi serving of St Nicholas."

Yosh!

Sirius tilted his head, but he was told to put on the hat. Someone else got the hat first though, yosh!

Yosh!

Yosh

Yosh.

"...Well least lil bro got the hat!"

”….”

"Looks like they've gotten that taken of." He climbs up Neme's back. "Now we take care of those robots." (edited)

Monta now had a hat on. Time to see what these new found powers can do. Where is the tutorial!?

"Initiating Psychic Warfare."

The mecha units begin to sync up, emitting a catchy jingle.

"I don't want a lot for Christmas.."

3:48 PM

"There is just one thing I need."

"She is trying to summon?!"

"Fuckin Mariah Carey!"

Emil's quietly humming along to All I want got Christmas is You as he gets in position.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAkMkVFwAoo

MariahCareyVEVO

Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come T...

"Make my wish come true~ All I want for Christmas is you~"

”I can make that happen~”

3:50 PM

"Michael Bu-ayo?"

"I wasn't talking to you, Rider."

He stands in front of the team, also humming the demonically charged song.

Emiya would take his bow firing two shots with Caladbolg and another two with regular arrows at one of the mecha.

“Guys, it’s okay.” “We can handle Mariah Carey.”

"This song isn't bad... but let's not get distracted. It's a psychological attack to distract us with a catchy song."

”Then I hope in the future it will be.”

"....I don't think I've heard a Christmas song in like....Forever."

He dropped one of the mechas only to watch it rise again.

”You gotta be kidding me…”

"Oh gods, the Maria Carey is empowering them! Monta get them!"

This was Abraham's first time hearing a Christmas song at all! Atleast one like this. "Ah, this'll be annoying." He comments when the bot gets back up.

After Trent launches a deadly coin towards one of the mechas, it immediately springs back to life.

"All I need for Christmas..."

”….This is getting annoying.”

"True Santa Monta!" She knows his name..! "Only you can stop them! In other words...." Medea Tinkerbell points to the mecha elf that had just fallen over and risen back up. "Smack the shit out of that one!!"

He heard the calls to attack..and you know what. He shall do just that. Summoning one of his swords and dashes over like a Santa with a schedule.

"Hmm... Perhaps I should invest in an outfit change for this season..."

Monta slices clean through the injured mecha elf, which stumbles back in shock before rising up into the heavens.

"Underneath the-- the the the-- Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmast ree tree tree tree tree tree tree tree tree tree tree All I want All All All All All--"

The mecha elf explodes into a small burst of fireworks.

He let out a Yosh as he defeated one of the elf's. He had to attack some more.

"Resuming formation." "Heightening output. Initiating Level 3 Northpole Conventions Psychic Warcrimes ."

"Let's go Monta! We can do this! Just wish we had more True Santas"

4:09 PM

Oh gods fuck please no...no...NO!!!!

He hurls himself in the air and lands on the amchines like a meteor. "IN THE NAME OF AN HONORARY FATHER CHRISTMAS.... I SHALL PUT AN END TO YOUR REPETITIVE MUSIC!" (edited)

He let out a war cry that was just him failing his arms but he was doing something.

Emil's bullet punctures one of their audio outputs, temporarily putting the music to a halt.. Before it resumes twice as loud.

"Everytime the song plays she gets paid for it. We should make it harder for her." He said with was more swings from him.

"I like the way you think brother!"

One of the mecha elves steps forward to speak up. "This weapon came to us in the form of a falling star from another planet. It is banned in all twenty cross-colonies of the North and South Poles. How are you still standing?"

put wool in her ears "Lalala...."

"Because it's fuckin normal where we are from!"

"They give tickets out to see the one that sang it in person!"

"We start hearing this shit in November of all fuckin' months! Sometimes earlier if you're really unlucky!"

Bhima crushes the next mecha elf, only for it to raise again-- @Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni

"Monta! Nother one!"

Pew pew pew. These robot things are tougher than they look.

He tossed his very being at the Mecha. No literally he just threw himself as a projectile and just ragged doll right on top of it to cause damage.

2

Bonk of death..

"Magnificent. That is the grace of a True Santa."

He helps Monta to get up. "Okay, careful or else you might lose your head as I break through them. Let us join forces as two Santas and defeat them once and for all!"

1

Yosh'd as he was assisted up on his feet.

When Bhima says those words, the santa hat on his head glows with power.

"You jest!? Two True Santas in one place?"

"How fun this is becoming~!"

"...Wish I had a santa hat..."

"That's great. Now we have two taking em down."

Selene totally pulls out a Santa hat trinket and puts it on Emil's head.

"We shall become the embodiment of the seasonal spirit We are the true Santa's like the one in Cookie clicker! Take this!" He says using one of his secret powers and tossing a snowball at them

Abraham turns to the closest Mecha, quickly seizing it in his arms before suplexing it onto the ground, slamming a fist into the speaker of the mech.

*"We shall become the embodiment of the seasonal spirit We are the true Santa's like the one in Cookie clicker! Take this!" He...

@Monta (@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni) - jump "True or not... We shall power through them like a snowstorm of Christmas Spirit!" As he spins his lance, instead of the usual wind the tornado formed around it is bright white snow like a blizzard. "GRRRRRAAAAAAAAH---!"

"We are like the Waffle House. Can't stop won't stop!" He moves alongside him. Yes it obvious that he was a enhance master fighting alongside a servant but he was doing his best.

"Man...wish I could join in on the fun."

Sirius readies to retaliate as the robots assault them, a bow forming in their hands as naturally as a cat unsheathing its claws. A sword appears in his other hand, before its shape shifts and twists into an arrow that he readies on his bow, aiming at the Fake Santa among the robots as he unleashes multiple swords into the air as the fly to impact against the enemy

"Why don't you join in on the fun?"

"Don't have a santa hat sadly."

Lancer blocks the enemy's attack with a swing of his lance, one hits him in the face but he remains unphased by the blast. Pathetic. They lacked the cradles to jingle his bells.

Seeing the might of the two True Santas, the mechas turn tail and make a hasty escape through the skies.

”Are you alright, Master?” Tomoe says as she returns to Ayumi’s side, her Naginata coated in the oily lifeblood of ~~Mariah Carey~~ the robot elves.

"Ahh well there they go..."

4:54 PM

Could follow them but actively wont

"Should I give chase to those machines?" He asks the others, turning to them and cracking his neck.

It was strange using the infusions on her fist but it had to be done, she moved forward throwing three punches into one of the mechas, fire, and wind spreading from her fists and hitting the other mechas with each punch. She stopped once they started to retreat. "Yep! I'm fine! Although it seems like they have given up."

Sirius's ears twitched as the robots flew away, letting their bow fade away once more

Abraham still has one of the bots in his grip, unless it managed to wiggle from his grasp.

4:56 PM

"Should we uh, destroy it? Capture it fully?"

"Yeah you best run off..." He said tired and went off to the side to get his breath.

"You doing alright, kid?"

"Take a breather brother. I'll keep watch."

"Being infused with the holiday spirit and Yosh is a doozy.." He said mid panting.

Abraham then manages to stand up, still holding the thing in his arms.

"You did great Monta! I'll be sure to tell Miss Discreet how you fought bravely for Christmas!" She ended her infusion and smiled at the end result.

Sirius would look around to see if anything else was going on, and for that little thing that had gone past then with the robots on their tail

He gives a friendly tap in Monta's shoulder. "Take as much time you need." He then turns to the others. "So? Give chase? Talk to the one Abe caught...? Oh, what about the little ladies who were running away from the machines?"

@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni

Up and at it/Nah fam: 1d2 (2) Total: 2

He got permission to take it easy He fell over in the snow. He was tired.

"If we even can talk to it. I assume it's sentient, given one of the others questioned us."

Medea Tinkerbell flies down to rest on Sirius' head. It was like a woolen blanket for someone of her size after all.

Abraham watches the small woman rest on Sirius' head. "Hello Ma'am. Are you ok?"

"Curses.. To think those vile inventions almost caught me," she mutters to herself. "My thanks are in order. If it weren’t for you, they would’ve kept singing to me until my eardrums shattered."

"Yeah... I can see the issue." The giant approaches Sirius and the fairy."Name's Bhima. What about you, missy?"

"No problem at all." He said back to the lady.

Abraham made sure to cover the elf bot's speaker, incase it tries singing again.

"Medea Tinkerbell, the most famous elf magician of the North Poles."

X-X

5:10 PM

knocked tf out

The fight and attempted rush to get his hood back up had knocked his hood back down, making ot easy for the small fairy to land on his head. One of his fluffy ears twitched im response, but Sirius was fine with this. It was just like a long headpat right?

He knocks the metal head twice to wake the robot up.

5:14 PM

"Medea Tinkerbell, the most famous elf magician of the North Poles."

@Medea Caster (Tinkerbell) (@Lara) - jump "An elf? Wait, we are in the North Pole then? What are those machines then?"

"Huh, pleasure to meet you Medea."

”Shall we restrain the strange mecha?”

5:18 PM

The lion waddles over cutely with Selene and Emil on its back, prepared to restrain the mecha by laying down on it.

"Please do. I've been itching to have some private time with one of these," Medea says, a sinister energy sizzling behind her eyes.

”….”

He knocks on the robot's head again. "Hello, hello. Anyone there?"

"An elf? Wait, we are in the North Pole then? What are those machines then?"

@Maruti Vrikodara (@Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu) - jump "Where else would we be?" "Those machines are the vermin used to kick us out of our own homes. But the age of the metal elves is no longer. Enter the dawn of the elf uprising!" Black lightning strikes behind her, emphasizing her words.

"........" He slides to the others, a hand over his mouth as he murmurs to them. "Ain't sure about who is the villain here, to be honest."

*Sirius shall assist small lady with what she needs so long as she provides headpats and/or snacks. Including just acting as transportation *

5:24 PM

"Say what now? An uprising.." He asked as he managed to get himself up once more.

"Oh, okay. So we are ignoring the evil lightning and stuff. Got it. I can work with that. So a revolution, then? Who else you got with you Medea?"

"You're not truly ambitious if you shy away from a little darkness," Medea says with an ominous giggle. "An entire army stands with me. Speaking of which.." "Up with you, boy!" Medea gently grabs two (tiny) handfuls of Sirius' hair, like holding the bridle of a mount. "To my peoples village!"

"Uh .Alright then, guess we gonna follow her then. Go on and lead the way." He was ready to see just what they were going to get themselves into.

"Well. A backstab does hurt less when you are aware of it."

5:34 PM

Qnd so he follows the tiny critter.

He follows behind Sirius, a black key still in his hand.

A tired looking man walks through the Christmas singularity. He had spent much time preparing presents for people, and had delivered most of them already. All that remained was a well wrapped box and two potion bottles. He carried it carefully as he walked towards the big tree at the center. As he reached it, he stared up at the great evergreen, decorated with ornaments and topped with a star. A star could mean a lot of things, but the stars were special to this man in particular. They reminded him of someone, someone who he had accepted would never exist again. And now, would he have to accept that cruel reality again? He crouched down and carefully placed the present at the base of the tree, along with one of the potions. If she came back, she could get it here even if he was away. If she came back, maybe she would like her gift. If she came back, he would be happy. If she came back... He stood up, taking one last look at that lonely present, the one it was meant for perhaps never coming back in the same form again. A few tears hit the snow below him, as he turned around and walked away. There was one more person to give a gift to, even if they couldn't receive it, yet they would always be with him. Within that present under the tree, was a very finely crafted dress, made with materials above the grade of mystic code it was, making it all the more luxurious and elegant. The white dress had a light sheen to it, as if it were ice itself, radiating the feeling of winter. It came with a small headdress of artificial silk flowers, to complete the outfit fully. The Winter Bond dress, designed for the one who he had wanted to gift it to, lay in that present, to be claimed only by the one specific person who it was meant for. On the card it was addressed simply. To Meltryllis From your partner known by three names Ywain, Dominic, Ur Who each love you in their own way
