* ~ Persona 4:FES - The Golden Presents...The 12 Days of GUILDMAS2014!!! ~ *
(Yairo and Kappa's Christmas Party Cosplay-Costume Contest)
"*Ahem* ...I'm not used to being at the center of attention, so bear with me. I prefer stalking behind walls and eavesdropping on people and keeping to the shadows, but...well, Lord Seo said that today was mine and Kappa's day to run an event for our Christmas celebration. So, here we are...holding a Christmas celebration. We hope that you...what was that?"
". . ."
"Of course, you're right, Kappa. I should introduce our day's event, first. Today, on the fourth Day of GUILDMAS2015!!!, we are going to be holding a Christmas Cosplay Contest for everyone. Dressing up as characters that exist, characters you imagine, all of which should have some kind of a Christmas theme, and the winners of these contests will receive some fantastic prizes from our Lord Seo himself. The rules are listed below and...am I forgetting something?"
". . ."
"...That's right. And a Merry Christmas and a Happy..."
"Birthday!"
"New Ye-waitwut?!"
"Happy Birthday! ...That's what you were going to say, right? I...uh...got excited."
"What? No...no, I was not going to say that at all."
"I think poor Nora was entranced by the shiny bulbs on the Christmas tree."
"There's a shocker."
"Shut up! No I wasn't...I was just, distracted! Yeah, I saw the flashy lights on the tree and I...a-anyway, I know it's not Birthday! I was just...uh...testing you guys!"
"The only thing you're testing is my patience..."
"Be nice, Viral...he's just a pup, after all."
"Tch, fine."
"I am NOT! Jeez, why's everyone picking on me?!"
"Because you make it so easy for us to pick on you."
"What?! I do not! Grr...and who even ARE you, anyway? I don't remember seeing you around here."
"Really? I've been here for weeks. I'm the future heir of this family..."
"No you're not!"
"...And if San has her way, it seems, the future heir of Rorek Viral-Taihaku's clan as well. *smirk*"
"HELL. NO."
"Huh...what?! Really? Does that mean I should call you like, Lord...whatever your name is, or something?"
"Don't just believe him, damn it!"
"Bel, stop filling his head with your bullsh-"
"*smiles innocently*"
"-crap. And stop filling my dad's head with that stuff as well!"
"I don't know what you mean, sis...I'm just trying to reconnect with my family."
"Oh, don't you EVEN...!"
"S-son...?! S-Lord...Seo...me? Hee...hee... *happysleepymumbleblush*"
"Jesus, Bell, look what you did to her! Hang in there, Mom..."
"I haven't done anything, yet..."
"What the Hell does that mean?"
"What do you think it means?"
"His talent for speaking in riddles is quite timeless! It's good to see passing through the eons hasn't dulled our sense of..."
"I think it means you're a dead man! GRAWR! *pounce*"
"Time to jet!"
"...Humor."
"And there they go..."
"Try not to destroy the garden, again."
"That...that looks kind of fun! Do you think they would let me play?"
"I don't think that the two of them are playing..."
"Of course you can, Nora. *beams* Why don't you see if you can help my daughter catch that boy?"
"Yes! I'm coming to help, San! *dash*"
"Why do you encourage him?"
"Oh, hush. He deserves a chance to play now and then. And...with his help, perhaps San can finally pin down that boy she's after. *winks*"
"You...?! Oh, you are sly, Shiranui."
"*smiles innocently*"
". . ."
"Indeed, Ms. Shiranui is quite a terrifying woman, Kappa."
"Terror-frying? Sounds delicious! *beams* I wanna learn to be a Boss from you, Teach!"
"T-teach? *blush* I'd be happy to teach you..."
"Aww yeah! *growls* Err...after dinner!"
"Let's get you something to eat, Fina. A Boss can't work on an empty stomach..."
"Yay! I could eat a whole roast beast!"
"And you need to regain your strength, Lord Seo...I'll have dinner prepared shortly."

Seo's Last Christmas - Christmas Dinner Short!
"Since this is our Christmas dinner, let's go all out! What is everyone's favorite part about your dinner around the Holidays? Don't be shy, now...tell us all about it."
"All the great food!"
"PRESENTS! Wait, no, the shiny thing...WAITNO! The food! ...I can't help it, I love it all!"
"Time with...Lord Seo...remembering how thankful I am...we are...for second chances..."
"That's really sweet, Mom..."
"M-Mo-Mom...?! I...err...*faint*"
"Snuggling up next to the fire with a lovely lady. Or two. Telling them they're the only one when you know that's not the..."
"How shameless! *mumbles* ...I'm just thankful to get to see my parents again."
"Aww...San! My baby girl... *hugs* I'm so thankful I get to meet you, too!"
"Moooom!"
"I am merely grateful to spend the holiday with my entire family. Shiranui, San, Lord Seo, and the others as well."
"Hmph, for once I concur. Giving presents to the ones you care for is the most rewarding part of the holidays."
"You're surprisingly caring, Gyuki. I'm thankful for all the interesting opportunities the season bri-GACK! *pinned to a wall by web*"
"Be grateful you'll only have a week's worth of nightmares."
". . ."
"Kappa says that he enjoys seeing the whole, extended family during the Holidays...spending time with people he loves, but might not see so often, is a fun change of pace. ...As for myself, I enjoy watching. People show different sides of themselves and are much more honest around the Holidays. The eavesdropping material can be particularly juicy...and the way they let their guard down when they sleep in the family home is perfect should I decide to obtain a knife and..."
"What about you, my dearest daughter? Aeon? Tell Daddy what you are grateful for..."
"Daaad? B-but...I'm just..."
"I'm merely grateful for the opportunity to explore and experience a timeline where peace continues to reign! There are countless worlds beyond the veil of this one which are engulfed in an endless dark, turmoil, isolation...that the serenity you've preserved here is something I believe to be truly precious. And to be able to see it with Rue-Rue, to reunite her with her father...it is my pleasure."
"A-Aeon?! ...Thank you. If I've never said that enough, I'm sorry, but thank you for protecting me, for saving me, for bringing me here to see my dad. Just...seeing him, and my mom, one more time...that's all I could ever want for Christmas. *trails off, blushing*"
"Nonsense, there is no world for me without you in it, Rue-Rue. *smiles brightly* Now then, Lord Seo, if you please..."
"Tell us, BAWS!"
"C'mon, I wanna know!"
"*sleepymumble* L-lord...Seo..."
"Dad? *smirks*"
"Shut it! ...Lord Seo?"
"Don't be shy, now."
"My note pad is ready, Sir."
"It's only fitting you speak last."
"Daddy?"
"...Well if you all insist. *smiles serenely* What I am most thankful for this Christmas is to have lived long enough to see it with all of you. My dear Rue-chan, my lovely Suko-chan, all of my precious family. All of you. ...Now then, let's eat!"
