autocratic | Christmas Time; Forward Dated to the 25th

[ The feed snaps on with yours truly standing proudly in her custom-made Santa Claus outfit. Smiling widely, she gives a hearty wave. ]

Merry Chritmas to all! Io Saturnalia! It is a glorious time for my generosity to be shared among all you plebes! I have researched the reasons behind all this invigorating festivities and have learned that an entity called "Santa Claus" goes around the world to distribute presents. As an emperor, I commend this jolly old man for sneaking into the homes of others to give his gifts, but on the other hand, I cannot be outdone by him! Minerva herself would be pleased with my thorough observation.

[ She spreads her arms out in a grand gesture. ]

And so I have given choice people gifts of my own! I believe I deserve a word of thanks, of course, but I am more than happy to simply give out of the grand generosity of my own heart. Receive them all graciously. Add to that, I even had my retainer make a couple of pastries to sweeten the occasion.

[ Then she places a finger to her lips, thinks on her next choice of words, then shrugs. ]

What a wonder that such time has passed... Enough that, considering I was so focused upon my research, my own birthday has flown by! Were we in Rome, there would be parades and dances and parties praising my name, but I shall content myself with the masses of both Johto and Kanto. I have event set up a feast for both special events within the Breeding Center of Goldenrod that I extend an invitation to anyone who would be willing to join. I believe many would want to enjoy a good meal after that sorry attempt of sabotage with those cookies from days ago.

[ She sniffs imperiously, and gestures for the camera to show a large, well made and delicious cake... with thirty-one candles on it. Ahem. Then beams again, before waving. ]

May you all fare well this Christmas!

[ OOC: Saber's Christmas Gift list is here! ]

*... blink blink. glancing over to him with some obvious surprise.*

S... Seriously? I tend to eat with everyone together, and I admit I don't see you during those times, but you have you own personal cook...?

For lack of a better term.

. . .

I know I shouldn't abide by the "book and cover" trope, but you really don't look like a cook. More like the type who would use oversized kitchen utensil as weapons if I have to be honest.

There's no room for fighting in the kitchen. [says the man who got into a fight with Red Saber previously in said kitchen]

Besides, there's more practical things to be used as weapons. Like an actual sword.

Ah...! That's spoken like a true chef! I've worked in places where knives were thrown across the room dangerously close to your face if you tried to fight while working...

*nod nod.* Although... I'm sure there's someone out there who fights with kitchen knives...

Now that does sound dangerous. But it's either a knife to the flesh or the burn of the fire. It's not entirely safe.

Most kitchen knives aren't crafted with the fortitude of a true dagger or sword. Unless the wielder plans on reinforcing them somehow, they'd be outclassed and break quickly.

Not even a little! The kitchen is really, really dangerous if you're not careful and take it seriously. Or just don't know what you're doing....

Ahaha... More a gimmick weapon, huh? There's definitely grounds for that out there...

If you believe what you carry with you will lead you to victory, everything has merit I suppose.

Ah, Merry Christmas, by the way.

Belief is just as important as the weapon you hold, naturally!

Ah, yes, Merry Christmas! It's been a good while since I've been in a place this festive for it...

[ Where else would she be, Hayate-kun? ]

For a time, yes. How fortunate I am! Through the loss of my Master, I had gained a reliable chef instead! He must have been an indirect, parting gift from her to myself.

Wait... Huh? A indirect parting gift from... A reliable chef was a gift? That... That almost makes him sound like a Pokémon who got left in your care...

That would be a rather apt description of him, actually. What great insight you have, butler!

... eh? Seriously?

Suddenly I feel a good deal of sympathy for him...

He could move onto his own path, but since he is armed only with a Ditto, he finds it more wise to stay by my side. [ Pause. ] Actually, I do not know why he has not moved on his own. As much as I find his disposition irritating, he and I have been traveling together for quite some time.

... I'm not sure how anyone could get by here with just a Ditto, yet all the same I'd wager it's just that you're the person he's most familiar with?

Hah! You would be surprised. I have discovered he had past relations with a few people in this realm. We had never met each other before, though our positions would be, to put it in layman terms, the "same."

So it goes beyond similar red outfits?

That was a surprising coincidence-- actually, what does it matter for the reasons behind our choice of clothing? He must simply like his attire as I do mine!
