* ~ Persona 4:FES - The Golden Presents...The 12 Days of GUILDMAS2016!!! ~ *
(Anzu and Inigo's Christmas Red-String Romance for Dorks!)

"Hey! Romance dorks and dorkettes! It's me, Anzu...apparently your relationship savant for this Ridiculous Red String Enterprise! Don't ask me why I was the one to get stuck with this mushy nonsense, but now that we're here, it's my mission to make this event a Smashing Success!"
"*coughs* What Anzu meant to say, I'm sure, is welcome to everyone out there for this, the Seventh Day of the 12 Days of GUILDMAS2016!!!. Today-"
"I meant what I said!"
"-Today, we're bringing you an event for lovers, but more specifically for those of you out there looking for your one and only this Christmas Season."
"Dork."
"It's our Christmas Season Red-String of Fate Romance Event. Hosted by myself..."
"The Dork."
"Inigo Shimazu, and my partner..."
"*coughsmirk*"
"Shut it!"
"Anzu Munakata."
"The Heartbreak Queen herself!"
"And she means that literally...as in she will literally break your heart if you piss her off..."
"Heh, you know it! *smirk*"
"She doesn't need your help, Bel..."
"*smirks* What did I do?"
"Bel just wanted to help! Right, Bel? *beams and attempts a hug*"
"Stop believing in me, damn it! *squishes cheeks*"
"Could we, perhaps, move on with the event now?"
"Muu~ >3< *struggles* Beeel~ it huuuurts~"
"It's supposed to. *deadpan*"
"Look at that! Our first love connection, already! *smirks* I'm pretty good at this..."
"Hell no!"
"*blush* Wh-wha-whaaa? >///< N-no way! I'm just an Angel of Love, just an ally...really!"
"Anzu, I don't think that's how this works..."
"Come at me, you wannabe romance dorks! I'll clobber you all into submission and send you all packing in kissy-faced pairs! *cracks knuckles*"
"Wait, is she planning to fight them to pair them off?! How would that even...?"
"No thanks, An-chan~ Sparring with you is a good way to break something, and frankly, I'm set with this dork, here."
"Of course, this dork is perfectly content as it is. *smirks and puts an arm over Sera's shoulder* But don't hold back on our account."
"If this is what it takes for me to have a Christmas alone with Daddy, I won't hold back on you, Anzu! *sharpens an axe*"
"Seriously, Amora? You're not really going to..."
"That's the spirit! *gets ready* If you want the Christmas Romance you imagine, you're gonna have to go through me!"
"I believe there's been a grave misunderstanding..."
"Don't. Stand. Between. Me. And. My. DADDY!"
"Someone stop them before one of them turns the others' Christmas Spirit into an actual spirit!"
"*smirk* Sounds like a party!"
"I'm very interested in this event now... ^ ^"
"The danger I'm sensing is off-the-charts! *shrinks back*"
"Is...is this going to be all right? ^ ^;"
"Don't worry, Lael! I'm sure that Anzu and Amora are just playing along for the event! *smiles brightly* Though, I'm not sure that they've actually said what the event will be like..."
"Romance is a theme most complex, is it not?"
"Kuzaku-san, we must work together to put a stop to this bout before one or the other is severely injured!"
"Party poopers~!"
"I concur. Shall I persuade Anzu while you combat Amora until she sees reason?"
"Or we could just do what my daddy always said when it came to combat...*draws lance*"
"And what is that?"
"Let's just hit 'em as hard as we can until they don't wanna fight anymore! *charges* VARIABLE BEAM CAAAANNOOOOONNNNN!!!!"
"Euphie, N-!"
"Uuuu~! *squished*"
"YES!"
"Oh, shi-!?"
"A new challenger a-"
*STATIC*
. . .
. . .
. . .
*Smoke clearing...*
"*covered in soot and blood, smiling* What a wonderful Christmas~! ^ ^ <3"
Christmas Interlude #6 - The Perfect Gift for That Special Someone...
"Well since romance is the theme of the day, is there anybody who wants to talk about Christmas Gifts? More specifically this time, what do you think is the perfect gift for the special someone in your life? *glance* And, oh...why don't we start with Koichi?"
"As it happens, I haven't been able to buy a new bed for Ser Pounce since we've come back to this world, and she's quite particular about where she sleeps... *hit...smirks* Oh, you meant yourself? Well telling you my secret Gift plans would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?"
"But it's okay to talk about the cat's?"
"Well it is a cat..."
"*smirks* Fine, don't ruin the surprise, you jerk. But I'm telling you right now, I'm taking you somewhere for Christmas away from here. Alone. The rest of you guys will just have to do without us for a while..."
"Says the girl who missed her ride to the past with us to begin with... *smiles"
"Oh, whatever, Momo! *playful glare* You tell us about your gift for a special someone, then!"
"Oh? Me? Well there isn't really anyone special per se, though I wanted to buy a nice case for a needle and thread for Mr. Medic-of-Ours, Mashiro...as thanks for helping me out when we landed, that is!"
"No way! Mashiro?"
"You mean to say you have feelings for the pacifist? How delightfully unexpected...and dull. *smirk*"
"I didn't say I had feelings for him! I just said I owe him..."
"Oh? Well...if you want to catch him you'll have to visit him at the hospital down on Yakushima. He's been spending a lot of time in there lately, though I'm not sure why...but I'll find out!"
"Probably fixing the sick and needy or whatever charity case he's on these days..."
"Don't be mean to Mashiro-kun, Bel-nii! I like that side of him! *pout*"
"Oh, so you're into him now? Sounds about right..."
"I didn't saaay that!"
"I think someone is jealous, Bel... *smirks* Besides, whether Mashiro likes to fight or not, he'd still take you apart in a heartbeat."
"Is...that true, Bel? *kicks dirt idly* Are you really jealous of Mashiro...?"
"*instantly* No, I'm not. *subject change* Anyway, you're so talkative, what are you getting your significant other, Purple? I imagine you're even worse at the whole 'love' thing than the cast-out Angel over here. -thumb jab at Io-"
"Me? Significant other? Heh... *smirks, but thinks...and then her eyes light up as if a switch is flipped* Well, whatever...probably like, some swords or something. That's normal, right?"
"Not even remotely."
"Oh shut it! Fine, whatever...Kuzaku! You and Kawari are...you know, a thing, right? What's that like? What do you do for Christmas?"
"Kawari? Oh, I'm not certain...if I bought her a gift for Christmas, I should hope it would be something she liked. Perhaps there is a dress here in the past that stands out to her, or a locket that she might prefer?"
"*quietly* I'm sure she'd love anything if it came from you, Kuzaku-kun..."
"Euphie...? Thank you..."
"*smiles* Being with my Daddy again is the only gift I need for Christmas! I'm sure he feels the same..."
"Or else. ^ ^"
"Exactly! *smiles brightly*"
"Ehehe~<3 ^ ^"
"I have so many regrets about bringing the two of them together for this... v.v;"
"I thiiink... *blushes faintly* ...maybe I'd like to get someone important to me...a book of poetry?"

"*eyes widen a little* Tennyson?"
"...or Frost...? *smiles bashfully*"

"*flushes crimson* You remembered..."
"Weeell...I want this Christmas to be very special for you, Lael...since it's your first Christmas with me...and everyone...together."

"Evie..I have no words to say..."
"If I onomatopoeia 'gag', does that count as a word?"
"Do you have to be a d**k about everything, Bel? ...I'm not saying that to scold you, I'm legitimately curious if that's a physical imperative to you."
"Iunno. Probably. Feels like it about 50% of the time?"
"That sounds about right."
"I'm buying somebody I know a band shirt they were staring at pretty obviously last week in the window of a shop... *glance* ...but beyond that, is there anyone else?"
"*sigh* I wish."
"You're better off saving the money. *laughs suddenly* Hey! Imagine your dad having to buy Christmas presents for all of his babymamas from our future!"
"Do you have to say it like that? *sweatdrop*"
"God! There's like, so many! *chuckling*"
"Can we just end this now...? Please?"
"No-"
"-Yes!"
"Not until the fish jumps!"
*Fish Jumps*
"...It's over."
