* ~ Venustus and Euphemia's Crazy Christmas Future Costume Contest! ~ *
(Persona 4:FES - The Golden Presents...The 12 Days of GUILDMAS2016!!!)

"On the Fourth Day of GUILDMAS2016!!!, Ven and Euphie gave to me~! ...A Christmas Cosplay Costume Contest! Hello everyone, Season's Greetings. *smiles* My name is Euphie, daughter of the man you all know as Rednal Ak'Thias, and with me is..."
"Venustus Michieru, son of Jo(Shu) Michieru, though you may know him currently as Geirin Kuzunoha. It is our pleasure to bring you today's Holiday Costume Contest as the 4th Day's Event in this, our Children of the Future Christmas Celebration!"
"As you know, Christmas isn't a holiday we often had the time to celebrate properly in the time from which we come, so we are very grateful to have the chance to share a large, proper Christmas celebration not only with our friends and families here in the world of our Past, but with all of you at home!"
"But since we have so many Christmases to make up for, and so many missed holidays to catch up on, we're really going all out to enjoy every event that we can that we might have missed in the holidays past. That include this...more traditionally Halloween-type contest of creative dress-up...amongst the variety of other things we'll be doing over these twelve days. We do hope that you will enjoy participating along with us, and..."
"Have a very Merry Chr-"
"Hannukah!"
"*flat* What."
"*sigh* We almost made it through a full intro without descending into anarchy..."
"Couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, Demon Prince?"
"Come now, we're living in a post-racial, socially-conscious society, are we not? What sort of hosts would we be if we were to ignore those readers and participants at home who celebrate something other than Christmas? There is, after all Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus..."
"I'm pretty sure that last one is made up..."
"I believe he is referencing the American syndicated video archive 'Seinfeld'? ...Don't ask me how I know that."
"Bel-nii! That's surprisingly sensitive of you! My love is finally getting through to y*squished*"
"*squishing cheeks* Hardly. I'm merely pointing out that for all your good intentions, you've likely been offending a rather large portion of the world's population all the while. Quite embarrassing your lack of knowledge about the world of the past, isn't it? *smirks*"
"Less embarrassing than when I plant your a** in the dirt..."
"Oh ho, there you go again...biting off more than you can chew."
"Guess I'll just have to grind you into even smaller pieces when I'm done with you..."
"Anzu, no."
"*faux pout* You never let me have any fun..."
"Oh, we can have lots of fun if you like..."
"*crosses arms* That's a foul, Bel-nii!"
"Ick, Bel-kun is so vulgar! Though if it were Daddy...~ <3"
"May we not indulge that thought any further? *shudders*"
"On second thought, perhaps I could forge a mighty blade out of what's left of him when I finish..."
"Inigo, no. *deadpan* Stop. Don't. *smirks*"
"*smiles innocently*"
"Or we could just ignore him and go on with the show? ...Seriously, you guys are too easy."
"For once, I must wholeheartedly agree with Momo. This is a fight that is not worth the effort."
"Yeah, everybody knows Bel's a d**k. What else is new? So are we gonna do this dress-up business, or am I going to have to find another excuse to get Koichi out of these clothes? *smirks wolfishly* ...And into something more suitable for the contest, I mean?"
"*crosses arms* Foul!"
"Mm...Daddy in a costume of my choosing...~ <3"
"Imagining the looks on your faces makes me glad I'm blind... *doubleshudder*"
"Down girl... *punched, but smiles* There's a time and place for everything. And at this moment, it's time for..."
"Another Christmas interlude~!! ^ ^"
Christmas Interlude #3 - Favorite Winter/Season Activities!
"This time, I'd like to ask those of you who wish to answer your favorite winter or Christmas time activities. Things that you have enjoyed in the future, or things you would like to try now that we are gone back to the past? Would anyone like to start?"
"Dancing in the snooow and making snow angels! *smiles brightly* And you can play too, Lael!"
"Really? Oh! Um... *quietly* Then I'd like...to try writing poetry by the fire..."
"*laughs* Why are those two such cinnamon rolls?"
"And how about you, Sera?"
"*instantly* Snowboarding. You?"
"Lightning the big tree at the Estate in Tokyo with my father."
"I wanna go see the lights on Christmas Eve with Daddy! ^ ^ <3"
"Would anyone else like to try...sledding?"
"As for me, I suppose I'd enjoy a*FWUMP*!"
"Snowball fight! *smiles innocently, as if she didn't just smash Ven in the face with a clump of snow*"
"*dripping* That...yeah, that's about right. ^ ^;"
"I'm on teams with Patris! *throws a snowball at Inigo and misses*"
"*dodge* Are we doing this now...?"
"Come at me seriously now, or I'll leave you all splattered across the snow~ ^ ^ *evil gleam*"
"I'm sensing a great bloodlust again...!"
"Heh, fine then...I'll take you on! *smirks and smashes at snowball at Patris, who uses Zaitou's body to block*"
"@_@ Was that snow or slushy-death? *dazed*"
"Oh, you'll have to be much more vicious than that..."
"*smirks* Oh, it's on! Bring it, Patty!"
"Well then...Ven? Kuzaku? *smiles faintly*"
"If you can't beat them... *rolls up a ball*"
"Join th*FWUMP!*. *falls*"
"*cheers* Got you, Venny! ^ ^"
"Until tomorrow, everyone!"
