[The girl that pops up appears to be about 16, and aside from her red eyes, as she speaks sharp teeth can be seen.]

Truly this is a most perplexing situation, to be snatched away to where one cannot feel the Goddess, to a place full of soulless abominations. Nevertheless, they seemed not hostile at all and there was no trace of the Empty Ones in them, so I restrained from slaughtering every one I saw and letting the rivers of blood flow. I would appreciate it if someone informed me whether this restraint was wise or not.

Truly I do not know what to do or say. This is truly the strangest situation I have found myself in. I do not know what dangers I should be wary of, what customs I should heed, even what role there is for me here. I would look to the Goddess for inspiration, but here she is silent.

Pray tell, are there any other who follows the teachings of She Who Walks in Blood and the Living Corpse?

[It's been probably a few months since anyone's heard from the antenna-haired kid with an attitude, but that peace is about to be broken as he shows up on the network stretching and looking groggy and cross. ...although the cross part is pretty much to be taken for granted.

Also his face looks like a whiteboard no one ever bothers to erase, and it looks from the background and light level as if he's in a mostly unused closet somewhere.]

Ugh. Where the hell am I? Etna, you were supposed to wake me up from my nap when you reached the gatekeeper.

Also, wasn't there something about presents? I'm sure it's been at least a few days, so you've had plenty of time to get something for me.

Action:

[During the day on the 17th, there would be multiple sightings of a decidedly under-dressed-for-the-weather kid getting into scraps with snow monsters.

...which in this case means punching them or headbutting them or biting them or exploding in huge fire tornadoes, and not really seeming any the worse for wear, so much as increasingly annoyed, aside from the occasional bout of tiny evil cackling after destroying his enemies. Don't mind him, he's just assuming that's how this world is going to be all the time. It seems only natural, after all.

At least, until someone grabs his attention.]



Network:

[Not one to ask for help or admit to needing it, it doesn't even really occur to him to use the network until that evening, and frankly he's annoyed at having to rely on a piece of obviously human-style technology, anyway.]

This is how humans talk to each other? You'd look tiny on this. I'd look tiny on this!

[Judging by his background he's probably pretty small to begin with, but whatever.]

Whatever. This is King Laharl, Overlord of the Netherworld speaking. However the hell I got here, I'm going to need vassals. As long as you don't screw up, you'll be treated well: you get to start out at 1% of all the plunder you can get your hands on, and I probably won't need much cannon fodder, around here. You can start lining up right away.

Oi! Who do I sue for Intellectual Property theft, yeah?

Well... okay, I wasn't really gonna do Snowkemon for the Haunted House. It's more like whot... free competition? [POUTS.]

Anyway, the Haunted House in Everglade, all the ghosts are off playing in the snow, and so are half of my scientists, but we're still operational! It's not all about your worst fears or silly gimmicky stuff to make ya laugh! We have morbid Christmas time special goin' on for everyone with a really dark sense o' humor who needs an outlet this time o' year! Even liftin' the vampire restrictions!

And a reminder, we DO have hot - chocolate flavored blood. Um. Separate. Hot, and it's grown plasma on all chocolate. Like a... person that only ate chocolate, but without the diabetes and problems they'd get from it, yeah? And don't worry if that's not your thing! We've got a buncha other flavors so just about anyone can enjoy a meal with their friends, no matter what your restrictions, yeah?

So come on down~!

[Action OTA: Snow Monsters]

[Rose doesn't have much TIME for playing in the snow, even if it IS the best thing ever and super fun, and WAY better than skiing on Mars -- not that she would know because every time the Doctor tried to take her there he FAILED! -- but she does go out to jog 12's new dire wolf pup: action dresses and ready for combat! In as much as Rose is "allowed" to be combat-ready with the Doctor as her soul mate. She carries her emergency backpack which has been updated to include first aid stuff (ever since 12's explosion in the void) hypothermia hot water bottles and frostbite treatments, a lighter and hairspray, and a bungee cord lasso because damn she could have REALLY used that to not fall into the void, right? Yes. And STONES of course. Though she's not really sure what to do with them.]

Oi! You all right there???
