[Alright, so maybe she's a little late with it being the 1st and all, but Ranmaru is on the video feed in a seasonally appropriate version of her usual outfit; instead of her hat, it's a santa hat, and instead of her jacket, it's a santa jacket - only it's worn the same way she wears her usual one, unbuttoned.

And...that's a fairly large sack she's holding over her shoulder, appropriately red to match her outfit. At least she's more relaxed with this one since it wasn't the result of some dumb curse.]

Yooooo! Little late for this I guess, but you all got one last gift to get for Christmas, courtesy of Old Saint Nick himself. Santa-san's real sorry they couldn't do it themselves but...y'know, long trip back home and all. So I'll be playing Santa's helper this year.

[She waves a hand, dismissively; don't think too hard about this.]

Anyway...apparently some real thoughtful person on our team asked Santa-san for something to lift the old collective spirit, soo...

[She puts the sack down, and from within it pulls out...this]

Isn't it cute? This is mine, so don't ask for it. But they're really warm and cozy too; great for the cold if that kinda thing gets to you. Cold never bothered me, anyway.

Anyway, if you wanna grab yours, just come on down to the city square. ...although if that's a problem for anyone, lemme know. I'll have it sent your way somehow.

It's somethin' you wear, either just to get comfortable or keep warm.

[The voice behind the girl, Masa!

And it's pretty deep and rough sounding, actually.]

They're called kigurumi.

[inroad]

[ hearing this explanation from that sort of voice, it just makes it all more wtf to him. Is he getting trolled and everything is made up...!!!? ]

Kigurumi... [ is that ... ...shit. It did look kind of familiar. That cult nut had at least one like it and made someone wear it before... ]

. . . [ mouth kind of just hanging open a little before he just blurts out the first thing that rubs through his brain: ] that's ridiculous. Even if you keep warm wouldn't people in the dark get confused and chase you with pitchforks thinking you are a dangerous creature? [ totally some shoot-or-stab-first-and-ask-questions-later type of situation. ]

[unoradinary]

[..........

Yeah she just laughs, tbh???]

What the hell's with your imagination!?

If you're that scared, only wear 'em indoors or with someone you trust.

[inroad]

Scared wasn't the word I was thinking of. [ crazy village people though?! And that's a mega trust exercise to ask of him ]

So... everyone got one?

[unoradinary]

[Don't be scared Masa.]

Yep! I counted just in case; one for all of us. I figure some people might say no cause they're no fun, so I might just give 'em out to people who need 'em...

But for now, I'm holdin' on until everyone who wants one got one.

[inroad]

So people pick out of what you have?

1/2

[unoradinary]

That's the idea...first come first serve, you know?

[except miraculously you'll all get what you would've wanted, because this is orchestrated a bit more intentionally than she says.]

Though I have a pretty good system for it.

[unoradinary]

What's your favourite animal, Date-san?

[inroad]

Dragons... I guess. [ they're not animals they're more like his people he's crazy ?!?! But you know... ]

[unoradinary]

Hm...

[Well, give her a second. She does some rummaging in the sack before showing him...]

What abouuuut...

This?

[like so]

Orrr...

[this one?]

There's also...

[etc you get the idea. They could be blue if he wants...]

Otherwise you're gonna have to come down here yourself. If I gotta look for any longer it'll be a real pain in the ass.

[wardance]

. . . [ omg all the dragons. ]

Surprise me. [ because even over a week later I can't pick one.. ]
