[ Before the mirror now is a girl, obviously flustered and extremely flushed. She wearily stands, possibly more confused than she's ever been. For her, that's saying something. ]

Uhm...! Is this how to call the Queen? I've asked these cats a lot of questions and they gave me lots of scrolls but I still don't understand this dream.

[ She holds out her hands, filled with scrolls, some slipping from her fingers to the ground. She was alright and ready to have fun and explore until she jokingly asked the cat a few things and got...all this in return. Now her head is pounding and this is NOT what she expected and this is NOT good for her health, gosh. ]

I've read these scrolls and I can't...really understand...Queen-sama, I thought it was just your daughter, the Princess, in Waltzhagen. This is so much different than how I thought it would be! If this is even Waltzhagen. My brain's starting to hurt...

[ She tries to gather the scrolls up into her arms, but ends up just spilling more every which where. ] Queen-sama, I appreciate your offer, but I can't stay! People need me back home, so I'll just wake up now... [ Except she can't. She's going to get a nasty fever at this rate. Haine's brain is a little too overwhelmed to deal with all this. ]

[Hikari is blowing warm air into her mittens, to fight the chill. She's really cautious where she is by the Arcade, because ahhh why, hit by the mistletoe thing twice already. In threads that aren't finished yet, but still. Ugh she does not like being forced to kiss someone. Especially not girls!... No, wait, if boys were here, she wouldn't want to kiss them either. Then just, no. Kissing.]

[Hopefully even if she runs into someone, the mistletoe will be nowhere in sight. Ever. Never again.]

This place is so awful sometimes...

[Vitalia has finally gotten the nerve to go around the Gardens without being terrified of Reno's horrifying thuggery, and what's this? SOMEONE has been neglecting the place and allowed this parasitic pest of a plant to take over! Not that she disapproves of parasitic plants in general, but they must be carefully controlled! This is woefully neglectful! Well, as the resident gardening expert, she will take matters (and shears) into her own hands and clear up this menace!]




[OK maybe not so much.]

How curiously resistant this species of Santatales is! I shall have to obtain a specimen somehow...
