20 (Mickey Steps Out)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Out and about at the PokeMart, Minnie turns on the video. You may or may not notice her cheek is slightly bruised - because she can't go a month without bodily harm Shadow was a meanie and pushed her hard. But she's bright and cheery!]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a pleasant day. My new friend Ahiru reminded me how fast time flies... next month is Christmas!

For those who don't know, Christmas is a wonderful holiday celebrated in many worlds... People come together to cherish their friends and families, exchanging gifts. And for all the little boys and girls, if they've been good, Santa Claus will leave them a present! And we all play in the snow, and sing carols, and kissing under the mistletoe, and it's all so much fun! It takes place on December 25th, so please keep that date in mind.

With that... Is there anything in particular you want for Christmas? There are so many great people here, and I want to try and get a gift to all of my loved ones!

... Santa is a liar and a cheat, it's completely pointless to think he'll bring anyone presents.

[... dude, what the hell.]

... Huh?

[foolishwren]

Heh... wow. I almost forgot about Christmas. <sub>[... And for the first time in awhile, the prospect is kind of exciting. There's a smile on Heather's face!]

So did I, heeheehee.

Is there anything you'd like, Heather?

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

... Why would anybody do anything like that?

[... poor hayate. oh jesus. a-anyway. WHAT ARE PRESENTS. SIMON DOESN'T GET IT]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Why not? It shows us how much we care for each other, and how well you know your friends.

Minnie? [He catches her in the Mart and steps closer with a frown]

What happened to your cheek?

[Action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Oh, this little thing?

[She'll try and brush some hair aside, trying to hide the bruise.]

Nothing, nothing, I just... fell.

[hittheroadjack.livejournal.com]

I like christmas! I really want a....

[my attention to detail is showing]

...Miss, what happened to your face?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[Waves a dismissive hand.]

Nevermind that. What did you really want?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

...I beg your pardon ma'am, but...what happened to your cheek?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That? Oh, I... tripped. I can be so clumsy when I'm not paying attention.

[Roxas is debating answer this because Christmas was another thing he wasn't privy to and between that and birthdays why must you taunt with things he doesn't know if he's allowed to have. Ultimately, he just gives up and doesn't say anything because mun has a paper to write]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[you're soooo getting a present, sadboy.]

[quickattackjack]

Oh, they have Christmas here too? This place sure has a lot of holidays! Aheh.

_{[Somebody still feels guilty about nearly upsetting, oh, EVERY CHILD ON THE PLANET. ;-; Jack thinks he's landed himself on the naughty list permanently.]}

But what about you? What would you like?

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

So good to see you, Jack! If they don't have Christmas here, we can still celebrate it!

Oh, aren't you sweet to ask... Hm, let's see, maybe... some new hair bows! I think I'm wearing mine out.

Christmas is pointless.

[wagging her finger.]

I should have expected at least one Scrooge. The point of Christmas is to spread happiness and togetherness!

[ Rise's actually working and still kind of hnnngh over Neku, but she's smiling at the mention of Christmas. ]

I wonder if they've got mistletoe here. It'd come in handy.

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[pat-patting Rise's hand, trying to cheer her up.]

There's a lot about Johto we still don't know. I'll have to become a researcher!

[ video ]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

I have never heard of Christmas before, but it sounds lovely.

[ video ]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It is! Everyone comes together to celebrate love and family.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon. You can't tell me you actually believe in Santa Claus.

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Riku, don't spoil the fun!

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Mmm... I dunno! What do you want for Christmas, Minnie?

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Maybe some new thread... These clothes can wear out pretty quickly.

... Minnie?

Hello, Melfina.

[Kisame is sharing a sparse meal with his Pokémon, which means he's barely visible under the pile. He doesn't seem to mind though.]

Another time to exchange gifts, eh?

[And suddenly he sounds deadly serious.] Who hurt you?

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[eep!]

Oh, no one...

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I hadn't thought about it, actually.

What about you, is there anything you want?

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Maybe some make-up? I'm definitely running out.

[ video ]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Christmas, huh...

I haven't really thought about it.

[ video ]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

There's still time to think, there's no rush.

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

[Oh wow, another holiday he doesn't know about. But he'll ignore it for...]

What happened to your face?

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That little thing? I... walked into a wall.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[wave of homesickness incomiiiiing]

I wonder if they celebrate Christmas here?

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

We still can, even if Johto doesn't. It's all about the spirit.

[Detective Gumshoe is scanning the feed after another long and annoying trek through the Ice Path when he hears Minnie's delightful voice rambling on about... Christmas? Hey, Christmas! Gumshoe knows that holiday! :D But something else grabs his attention....]

Hey; you all right, pal? That looks like a pretty nasty bruise.

[And Gumshoe knows from experience that nasty bruises usually have nasty sources....]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, sir! My...Pokemon and I went a little rough into training, that's all.

[video] fff late sorry! ;A; c-can we just pretend this is backdated?

[usedklutzattack.livejournal.com]

Hello Minnie! I'm in Violet City too now! [Ahiru waves enthusiastically at the screen, and the background looks like it may be somewhere on the outskirts of Violet. She's feeding pidgeys her extra bread again, of course.] Um...I don't really know what I'd want for Christmas...I just want to learn how to be a better ballerina so...what would you like for Christmas? I want to get gifts for all of my new friends too!

[video] sure~

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

You've arrived in Violet? how wonderful! Perhaps we can finally 'meet'.

If you ever think of anything you'd like, you just tell me. As for me... hmmm... maybe some new Potions for my Pokemon? We're going to be ready to start battling again soon.
