(Action)

[Twas the day after the Christmas, and all through the city, all the children were at play, including a girl who's middle name is Kitty.

Though she answers to Anastasia. She was outside together with all of her Pokémon. She was dressed like the Princess she is in beautiful gown gifted to her by Ayame, her youth and beauty further touched up with a light touch of lip gloss and pink nail polish gifted by Minako.

She was standing beside her Nidoking, she was tied up in typical damsel-in-distress fashion. The Nidoking makes a bold attempt to make a evil laugh. Her Sylveon, Glaceon and Ribombee stand together as if in opposite to Nidoking. Sylveon had a tinfoil helmet on its head while holding a toy sword and shield with its ribbon-like feelers.

Ribombee was holding a big stick and wore a napkin as a cloak.

Finally Glaceon was wearing the witch hat from Anastasia's Halloween costume.
Anastasia pretends to struggle to get free of the ropes as her Pokémon get ready to have what hopes to be an amusing a Dungeons and Dragons type battle.]

Please save me~! The evil King Nido will surely use my power to take over the world~!

[Sylveon raised the toy sword and skipped over, gently bopping Anastasia with it.]

Sylvie~ Syl~veon~
No, Sylvie, that's not how the knight saves the Princess.

[Sadly,she was bound tight enough that she can't slip her arms free. Therefore, she can't facepalm while Sylveon continues to fail as a pretend knight.

Someone should probably come help her.]

(Video)

[The sun was fixing to set as the video kicked on to show the little lady back in her room, the gown she was wearing hanging in the closet door in the background while she was in a nightgown. She seems to be laying in her bed with something laying just off screen.]

It's been so much fun. I'm blessed to have such wonderful friends and I am ever thankful for the presents I got. I wish I could have done more for them. Maybe next year. Maybe some day...

What did everyone get for Christmas? What was your favourite gift?

[She moves the offscreen object into view, it was a white armoured pixie knight riding a cute armoured platypus. She was making it gallop heroically into view, even.]

I love everything I got on Christmas, but this toy knight is probably my favourite, along with the note that came with it.

My, if this isn't the most delightful surprise.

[The stranger spoke, looking at something just off camera. He smiled ever so slightly, shrugging it off as he walked about. Judging by the scenery moving behind him, he was likely somewhere within the central city still.]

Truly, I have yet to see a more accomodating set of cities in all my years. And I hear it's election season as well? I do hope I'm not too late to participate. Even though democracy is as foreign to me as this city...

[He smiled so sweetly, playing off the 'new arrival' card to its fullest. Yet if he truly cared about making his voice heard in such a way beyond idle musings, none could truly say. What was certain, however, was that this was bound to be far more interesting than he likely gave credit for, especially as he goes back to watch the debates... If he isn't rudely interrupted, that is.]

Best of luck to the candidates.

( oops )

[Yuyuko appears on the feed looking well, a little confused, but not displeased or anything. She wasn't really up to speed on the holidays. Comes with being old as dirt. Even now, she only had a very rough grasp on it.]

So other people received gifts the other day as well? Mine was rather stubborn and would not open.

[She'd actually given up on it and pouted until she figured out it could be opened on Christmas. She pans the video over to reveal a very miniaturized version of a certain tree in full bloom. Thankfully, it is perfectly harmless, more a replica than a recreation. Even so, despite its beauty, there's just something off about it. Yuyuko reaches out to brush her fingers against the petals, emitting an almost sad-sounding hum.]

I was very surprised to see this of all things here.

[She would've much rather had a box full of cake or something, but this was...nice too, she supposed. At least it was pretty.]

What did everyone else get, if I may ask?

Hi!

[ Mikaela is looking a little sheepish as she waves into the camera. ]

I know everyone's busy with Guardian election things, but I would like to thank my Secret Santa for the books they gave me. I've been reading them over the holidays and having a blast. My favorite is the penguin book, by the way!

So, thank you, Santa!

[ A moment later there's another message. ]

And I'd like to thank Krista for organizing it, too!
