WHAT TO DO...

1. comment!!
2. when someone comments to you OR when you reply to them go to the RNG! roll 1-20!
3. match the number with the option below
4. shenanigans!

1 - Snowmageddon - you are snowed in thanks to a freak blizzard. no power, no heat… fuck. now what?
2 - Deck the Halls - nothing is more depressing than a tree/abode/cat/sleeping roommate/insert something else here that isn't covered in Christmas decorations. so whatever it is, decorate that shit!
3 - Night Before - whatever you do on Christmas Eve night? you're doing that now, i guess.
4 - The Good Kind of Snowmageddon - so there's TONS OF SNOW but you aren't snowed in! yay! it's time for fun time in the snow. ice skating, snowman building, snowball fights, sledding, you name it!
5 - Last Minute Gift - good job waiting until the last minute. fight those mall crowds with your trusty stick and keep your fingers crossed that you'll get your hands on anything decent for that special someone.
6 - Mistletoe - NOW KISS. or else you'll never know freedom ever again.
7 - Too Much Eggnog - insert character name here, you are drunk. and you want everyone to know it.
8 - Fancy Pants - you're at a high society Christmas party for some reason, dressed up all pretty and strutin' your style. swag. careful, the punch is spiked. probably.
9 - Fa-La-La-La-La - somehow you've been forced into going Christmas caroling. just hope that no one who opens there door has a shotgun ready.
10 - Cookies - you are making delicious Christmas cookies! or not so delicious Christmas cookies, depending on your ability to bake.
11 - Gift Exchange - time to give that special someone you hate/love the gift you got them.
12 - Silver Bells - dashing through the snoooow in a one horse open slleeiiigggh~
13 - Bah Humbug! - fuck Christmas and everyone who likes it, because suddenly you HATE it! and no one can convince you otherwise! well… maybe.
14 - Kiss Me Under The Mistletoe - Usually there's a choice when it comes to mistletoe, but not this time. Any two people caught under a sprig will find themselves compelled to lock lips with the other. Who will be the lucky one? Is it good luck or bad?
15 - Snowman Apocalypse! - Okay, not really, but there seem to be a lot of snowmen coming to life lately, and all of them throw snowballs. Some hit with these will find it impossible to stay warm short of the body heat of another, while others will find it's their disposition that has frosted over. Then again, maybe it really is a snowman apocalypse...
16 - Mug o' Warmth - Free cocoa and cider? Yes, please, it's freezing outside! One drink will warm the body, but also the heart. It's a good feeling, isn't it? Aren't you glad you decided to have some?
17 - Cookies From Santa - Isn't Santa usually the one eating the cookies? Not this time. There are Santas everywhere, passing out treats. Eat one and you may find yourself in a giving mood as well! Or maybe you'll have the urge to do some baking of your own.
18 - The Best Way To Spread Christmas Cheer Is Singing Loud For All To Hear - You heard someone singing carols on the street, or maybe it was just on the radio. You started to sing along. Now you can't stop, or even lower your volume. Maybe it's not such a problem. Maybe it gets you in the spirit. If not, you'd better hope someone starts to sing along with you and helps you finish the song or you might go on like this forever.
19 - Let It Snow - Well, you won't be going anywhere for a while. The snow is so high you can't see out the windows, at least on the first floor. As you and whoever you're stuck with gather around the fire, you both have the irresistible urge to get emotionally intimate. Maybe you want to share when you stopped believing in Santa, or how you are so very Charlie Brown around this time of year. Whatever it is, it probably has something to do with the season. Alternately, you tried to get away from the snow by going somewhere warmer, but Jack Frost would have none of that. Discuss this unnatural phenomenon with someone else who just had their vacation ruined.
20 - Winter Wonderland - There's a lot more magic to go around, it's just a matter of finding it! Essentially, the wild card option. Blend together the choices above or come up with your own!

I couldn't move, I couldn't speak... I could only watch. I'm just glad that's over with now.

...that's- [Surprise, surprise - the great Kazami Yuka rendered speechless.

She stared into her cup for a lingering moment before shifting her eyes towards the fire. She still remained uncharacteristically silent, though, a tiniest of frowns even appearing on her face, smile fading away as she tried to imagine the feeling.

The feeling of a flower, or a tree, that could do nothing but watch as everything around it gets trampled- She clicked her tongue, frustrated. She did not like unlocking memories of such feelings.]

[Martel merely shrugged.] My brother was a fool for doing what he did, but that's all in the past now, thanks to Kratos's son and his companions.

_{You wouldn't mind being trapped like that forever?}

... I would. The way they were, the worlds were dying... And I could do nothing but watch as everything began to fall to ruin.

Thanks to Lloyd and his friends... the seed that had been my prison was finally allowed to germinate... and I was freed as a result.

[The flower youkai could merely give a nod to that, taking a sip of now nearly-cold tea in silence, mulling something over in her thoughts.]

[Martel looked over at Yuka, a little concerned.] ... What are you thinking about?

Things~ [Yuka replied lightly, looking over at Martel with a smile.] Like how awful it must be to feel grateful towards humans.

Humans and half-elves. [There wasn't much difference, true, but Martel still felt the need to add in the part about half-elves. After all, previous to her life (if you could call it that) in the Great Seed, she had been a half-elf as well. She chuckled nonetheless.] It wasn't completely terrible. They had good hearts, I'll say that much. [She looked up in thought.] It hardly matters anymore. They're all dead now.

Which would be half-humans~ [Yuka pointed out idly, returning her gaze to the fireplace.] Do you feel sad? That they're dead already~

[Martel shook her head.] Everything dies eventually.

That's how it's supposed to go~ Does it mean you're going to die, too?

More than likely, yes. It will be quite a while, though.

My, and here I thought beings like you were meant to be immortal~ But if it's still a while ahead, then I suppose I can deal with it~

Mana depletion. [It was all the Summon Spirit said, casting her gaze towards the floor.]

Mana? [The youkai blinked, curious.] What's that?

Mana is... ah, Aselia's "life energy," if you will. All beings have it. It's provided by the tree I protect. Mana depletion is what killed the last Kharlan Tree.

Then, how does one make sure the mana is not depleted? Ah! If it's the life energy, then killing humans should return it back to that tree of yours, no~?

Killing will not restore energy to the tree. Mana normally restores itself naturally, however, if too much is used at once...

Now that just makes no sense. Life enrgy does not vanish just like that, it always goes somewhere, it's just how nature works. [She scoffed.] As expected of humans, useless even after their death~

Who uses the energy, then?

Everything, essentially.

Then, let me rephrase it~ What uses the most Mana~

[Sudden silence. She knows what you're getting at, Yuka.]

[The calm smile on her face threatens to widen when no response comes, but instead, she glances at Martel with the most innocent look - even though she knows the answer already.] Well~?

It's not something I wish to talk about.
