{Hello, Johto! Today you have a rather philosophical Nanao popping up on your 'Gears.}

I have a question for you, fellow inhabitants of Johto. What does Christmas mean to you?

{Since it's a lovely sunny Sunday, Nanao is out and about and indulging in what looks to be retail therapy at most of the stores in Goldenrod. Interact Y/N?}

It's a simple celebration for myself. Primarily because certain cousins of mine haven't allowed otherwise.

I see... Do you spend it with family?

What does it mean to you?

[ Even if she turns the question back around on her, there's an unusual smile on her face. ]

An entire division full of drunken carousing soldiers and a big clean-up bill - but I don't mind, everyone needs to relax at some point.

{She's smiling fondly at the memory - although why she would do such a thing is more than a little bizarre...}

[video; what is using the right journal]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

That's some holiday now, right?

[video; \o/]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Yes, a very popular one.

Presents.

{She can't help but laugh at that, and she speaks with an indulgent tone.}

Then, Minato-san, what would you like for Christmas?

_{[... nrrrgh she doesn't really wanna answer but... something COMPELS her too. The urge to act like everything is totally normal and okay! SHE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE!]}

spending time with family pretty much


presents are cool and all but it's getting to just hang out and be happy that's really the point

{Oh, look, a wild Heather appeared! Nanao smiles both at the screen and the answer, before tapping out a reply in kind.}

I think you have it spot on, Heather.

Presents are easily replaced, but family is not.

What's Christmas?

[video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

It was a religious observance, but is these days more a holiday associated with over-indulging and presents.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Spending time with my friends. [Just a small smile, not as wide as it usually is.]

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

That's what it means to me as well. Partying is fine, but I like catching up with people I haven't seen for a few years.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

I can't really say. We don't have Christmas in my homeworld.

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Fair enough - considering the wide variety of people here, I recognise that some people wouldn't have a holiday like this one.

[Video]

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Interact in the store? N! He's out training while the weather holds, cause who knows when it'll turn.]

Other than dragging Matsumoto home from one party or another? It hasn't meant much in recent years.

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{A wise idea, o tiny captain.}

Hmm? Really? Not even spending time with friends?

video

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

Christmas means I get a lot of presents!!

[ ..../shallow. ]

video

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

And you getting exceedingly drunk, too.

{Cheerful exasperation, thy name is Nanao.}

[oh he can so answer this question this is his favorite season]

The coldness of the season brings even the most reluctant and shy of lovers together to bask in the warm glow of love, especially under the mistletoe! Hearts pounding, even the youngest of our generation lean up on their toes to kiss the one they fancy the most~! And there's presents. [he's a greedy child okay also don't mind the scratches...]

video

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{This kid.... He is so like her captain that she just stares for a little bit, before chuckling.}

Well, that's certainly one way to look at it.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Spending time with family and friends. [At least in theory.]

[video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I think that is the best possible answer, in all honesty.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Christmas is a holiday where you offer presents to your loved ones, and a red man on a sleigh brings more during the night. Eggs, usually.

[video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{ :|a }

Eggs? This is new to me...

Action

[She's about to reply via video, but she turns from a corner and ...Isn't that? ...Hey, hey familiar lady from the screen, hey~! Winry takes some quick steps to get to her and she's still looking very confused.]

I'll tell you my answer if you tell me your answer to this; what's Christmas?

Action

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Turning around - oh, she knows this girl! Now, what was her name...}

Winry, was it?

video;

[usedrawr.livejournal.com]

It means presents! Spending time with friends! Cake! Candy! Wearing white beards! Going Ho Ho Ho! Aaaand making sure the chimney's clean so Santa can come down!

[ GASP he said that all in one breath. ]

I think that's it.

video;

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Wow, Teddie. Nanao is very impressed at the fact you managed all of that in one breath.}

I do think you listed it all. Most impressive.

[Video]

[redbelltolls.livejournal.com]

What is this 'Christmas?'

[ There are so many new words to learn in this place. Might as well get a straight answer the first time they are used before another 'tapping' incident comes up. ]

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Christmas was once a religious observance, but in the modern era it has lost most of those connotations and has become a celebration where people exchange presents and spend time with their family and close friends.

{Nanao stayed well out of that incident with good reason.}

[Audio]

[eatsyouout]

I don't know. My birthday, I guess?

[Audio]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Really? Well, congratulations, I suppose.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

It's an old human holiday that apparently didn't die out in other people's worlds. I never really celebrated it even when it was around, but I guess I'm going to this year.

[video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Indeed you are. I've cleaned the upstairs rooms, there's plenty of space now.

[Video] from her room

[oxidegreen.livejournal.com]

Christmas...? Wasn't that when they passed out eggs last year?

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Daughter are you being lazy- I mean.}

Was it? I... wasn't really here for that.

video;

[skillspanner]

Whoa, we're talking about Christmas already? [This is unusual to him.] But, uh... I dunno, spending time with friends? Or... whoever you're dating, I guess. If you are.

[Kind of shrugs, last year was the first time he really did anything, and that was just getting a cake and hanging with his bros.] I never really thought about it.

video;

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Why not? {It is november, after all. And shopping must commence - including her getting you that geetar, not!son.}

Not family? Well, I suppose here that would be a little hard, but...

[somanytosofew]

I've seen a lot of them. it's changed over the years. Once it was even banned. But recently... peace. It means peace, even just for a day.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I think that answer is the nicest I've heard yet, England-san.

[Video]

[isahero]

[This is probably going to be the most excited answer she's probably going to get, as a warning - mostly because it's yelled out and America's arms are flailing everywhere.]

Everything! Christmas trees and decorations, lots of dinner and presents and parties! Having coffee by the fireplace while playing video games too! [His eyes are pretty much sparkling - it's easy to see he really loves holidays-]

And if it's snowed you can go outside and make snowmen! [It's the only reason he'll go outside during winter, that.]

[Video]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{O-ow, her eardrums...}

You seem... very excited about Christmas.

And you needn't worry about snow, last year we had nine feet in three days, or something.

video!

[seikaprez.livejournal.com]

Spending time with friends and family. It should never be about the presents.

video!

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

That is best attitude to have, I find.

[Video] Ed's still in Goldenrod, so they may bump into each other?

[fullmetalbro.livejournal.com]

What's Christmas? Is it another holiday or something?

[Video] Sounds like a plan!

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

That's right! It's an old Earth custom, but considering how many people are here from different worlds, it's not a surprise that some people wouldn't know about it.

video;

[drugsbeleid.livejournal.com]

Celebrating with my siblings, I guess. [ Man, he's going to miss another Christmas with them thanks to Johto. This kind of bothers him. ]

video;

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Ah - I suppose those would be Belgium and Luxembourg, wouldn't they..?
