They're also completely trashed on festive booze.]

( Cut for length! )

Some people would spend their Christmases doing something normal with their families. But no, not Veronica Mars. I bait criminals. In retrospect, that was probably a bad idea. I'll blame it on my disappointment of being poniless another year, and my thrill at getting a jury duty summons.

Thanks for the guys here who sent me gifts. All two of you. I would've gotten you something, but I... wasn't expecting it. And money is tight. You know the drill.

I don't know about you guys, but I had one heck of a Christmas. Between Soundwave reprogramming the Autobots and brain washing every human in the city, and me having to lead a ragtag group consisting of a Dinobot, a Constructicon, and Wreckgar in order to get everyone back to normal, all I can say is this was one Christmas I won't forget anytime soon.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a fun holiday. Thanks everyone who sent me something. I hope you guys like what I sent you.

Oh yeah, and one more thing... GUESS WHO GOT A SCOOTER THAT TRANSFORMS INTO A JETPACK! THAT'S RIGHT! I DID! And I got a kitty from Prowl! Need to think of a name for him.

((ooc: Basically Sari sent everyone she knows something cool and electronic.))

Uhm, Sister Esther or Dietrich? You're from Ishtvan, correct? I'm ...



Lost. Terribly lost. I've been traveling for what seems like forever and I missed Christmas mass because I ended up taking the wrong train. But, I believe I'm here?

An internet forum.  Fuuka-san has spoken of these in the past.  I am uncertain of its base function, but it does seem that it would be a good way to learn more about the world outside of Iwatodai.

Hello, everyone.  My name is Aigis. I am pleased to make your acquaintance.

If it is possible, could you provide me with your name, date of birth, gender and current location so I can learn more about the rest of the world?

Honestly, if this is some kind of practical joke--

To the webmaster of Dramadramaduck:

However amusing you might think it is, it’s very inconvenient to program a website to prevent those who have no interest in it from navigating away at their leisure. Have you even considered that those who stumble upon it might have important work to finish? You are impeding upon their abilities to efficiently complete their duties, and that is hardly fair to them. Downloading a new browser proved to be ineffective. Whatever programming you have used, it is very thorough, and I will go ahead and commend you on it.

However, I am one of those people I spoke of who has important work to attend to. Winter break at my institution is about to begin, and the student council must discuss a few matters that involve the school’s website before we leave for the holidays. The president expects me to have this information to him by tomorrow, so therefore I must ask that you lift this programming and allow me (and anyone else you have inconvenienced) to do our work.

If you refuse to comply with my requests, you will have to deal with the consequences.

Professionally yours,
~ Mitsuru Kirijo

Hellooo Anyone in there?
[She lightly knocks on the screen then giggles a bit.]

Tewi just found this website! I searched for duck recipies and click the lucky button on uhm..
[She pauses to remember, when the name comes to her she makes binocuars with her hands.]
Goggle!
I hope I can learn a lot of yummy duck recipes here, and I'll even give out some of my own.
...
For a price.

Alright guys, it's that time of the year! Let's hear what you got!

Oh, and everyone who got me something? Thanks. Hope you all enjoyed your gifts too.

A lot of humans in the community, I see. I hope you all passed happy holidays. Christmas seems much more prevalent for a lot of you. Does anyone celebrate a different holiday around this time?

[ FILTERED TO | STARFLEET PERSONNEL ]

Received a new assignment. I should be excited but... it doesn't feel right. Guess it doesn't matter. I'm not exactly going to turn it down.

Yet another influx of new people. Well, I'm Maraich. Nice to meet you and all that.
Christmas was pretty good over here despite some of the recent bad news. It's been pretty with light snow and just a tiny bit of fog.

So. Did anyone of you catch someone you wanted under the mistletoe? Is everyone looking forward to New Year's?

[Yes, just wanted to post something but it'll be bedtime soon.]

This is great! It really worked!! I was starting to think I'd never be able to get back here! ...And I never thought I'd say that. I guess I did get used to the viruses after all.

It was so strange-- Conan-kun and Kazuha-chan and Hattori-kun and everyone were still able to access the community, but I haven't been able to get to it until just now. I wonder why it suddenly started working? I've been trying for ages!

How is everyone? I haven't been able to talk to Minazuki-san or Grimmjow-san or Sorata-san or Colette-san or... anyone, really. Conan-kun and the others have been telling me a bit about what's been happening, but they always leave stuff out.

Is everyone okay?
