Episode 11: Merry Useless Lesbians and a Happy Suplex For All!

[fallers_npcs]

In the stillness of evening
Nothing was stirring
not even a Ratata
Or a Togedemaru for sure
When out of the shadows
I hear but a clatter
I sprang to the roof
to see what was the matter...


December 13 to 18 Prompts 1 to 3
Prompt 1
Today, you might notice a headline on the front page as a photograph is shown. Of a distinct Sleigh in the night skies, and two figures: one slender, one burly. And the title: "SANTA CAME EARLY THIS YEAR! SLEIGH CRASHLANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF MELEMELE FOREST!"


Prompt 2: Amelie the Christmas Granddaughter
The next day, there’s a young girl with a face some people might find familiar wandering around the island, wearing a Santa-themed dress and carrying a strange device that continually beeps and flashes. She’s not shy about sticking it directly in people’s faces, either.


Prompt 3: Sasha the Christmas Incineroar
Along with the young girl, one might find a Christmas Incineroar stalking about the island, looking like she is attending to the well wishers, with passing presents from a big sack, rounding up kids and falling Fallers, and other such interactions. She is also often seen with the young girl who is shoving her beeping device into people's faces. Any trouble makers are instantly Christmas Suplexed and leaves Candy Coal for the Bad Boys and Girls.


December 18: The Crashlanding

And then suddenly without warning
With a crash and a bash and a smash
Naughty Viren took advantage of Santa
And stole his Sleigh, for a Commercial and that's bad

Prompt 4: The Christmas Grinch Viren *Event Prompt Beings On the 16th*

It seems that the massive cause of the Christmas Cheer being so poor right now, is Viren commercializing Santa to the skeptical Fallers who have been more than willing to go along with his nonsense. He is ready to take Santa's Sleigh, and take over the Toy Factory, all of his Delibirds, and force him to sign a contract to build a big golden statue of himself in the North Pole! You gotta stop him!

"Nyhhh...!? What!" Hey! Skeptical or not, he's at least been trying to believe in all of this, and now there's a sleigh crash!? "Th' hell!? We just get here, an' now th' man's real enough t' crash!?" And he's buff too, apparently! What the hell is the meaning of-

He blinks. Pauses. He sees blonde, he sees stripes, he- "....Err..." He squints at the paper again. "...Did I get th' info on Santa wrong..." He sees two faces that sure don't look like an old bearded guy!

But a few days later, and Katsuya sees a very familiar face indeed.

ALRIGHT SASHA GET READY FOR.... ...THE POINTING!

"YOU-!" AHA!

"Yer th' one who crashed!"

wait he shouldn't have said that aloud

Oh, it's...Jonouchi. Kaiba's still strolling about with his overgrown bag, on his way back from the hospital feeling oddly...content with all of this, when he spots the familiar blond.

"Hm. Does it matter what he looks like? We're already being asked to believe so many other absurdities."

But it's clear from his tone that he's not entirely skeptical anymore. He reaches into his bag and produces a black and red wrapped box about the size of a baseball, silently handing it to him.

Inside is an incredibly detailed small-scale Red Eyes. wings spread and expression knowing.

[luckydragonsfoot]

"....I mean 'es definitely real here at least," he answers without thinking, before spotting the bag. "...Uhhhhh..." What is... "What is...t..."

...That's a box. "...Wait." THAT'S A BOX...For! Him!

Numbly, he takes the presented gift- wide eyes looking from it, back to Seto. "Th's... ...y' got me a present..?" Ah hell. Opening it he chokes, somehow managing not to drop it. That IS extremely detailed. More than he'd expect anyone who couldn't actually see the real deal! So-

"Ahhhh hell I can' make anythin' like this w' clay..." Not that he'd even be able to bring himself to try having seen the 'real blue-eyes'....nothing really held candle to that so. "Man..."

[blue_ice]

"I don't expect you to. I was just testing my new 3D printer, and when I found that card...I thought you should have it."

Kaiba shrugged. "Not that I'm an expert, but from what I understand, true gifts are meant to be given without an expectation of reciprocation."

[luckydragonsfoot]

"Heh!" Well isn't that just a thing huh? He holds it carefully though, even while he shrugs. "Somethin' like tha'...sure ain't s'pposed t' be a contest, anyway! Now I don' feel so weird havin' somethin' for you!"

wat

[blue_ice]

"...what?"

There's a look of shock on his face. Obviously, anyone giving him things is strange. Everyone knows you can't give anything to the billionaire who has everything...a lot of things are new, here.

[luckydragonsfoot]

"Yeah yeah, don' look so surprised," he huffs, grinning all the same. "Yer one 'f the few folks here I know properly, ev'n jus' a little! Gotta do somethin', I figure!"

[blue_ice]

"...mm. Then I'll look forward to it, I guess."

He manages a small smile. It's...nice to have someone to focus on, in the absence of Mokuba.
