So I was wrong before, but this time, I'm 100% positive that our bad guy is deader than dead. We just dealt the finishing blow today, on the 13th anniversary he first appeared, Messiah is dead deadity dead dead dead. Enter and Escape too. 'Course, it does mean that the backup of my data is gone too, but I wasn't holding out too much hope on that.

So Merry Christmas and everything, guys. Currently at a party we're throwing at the local orphanage--'cause if there's nothing I've learned by now, it's that I should never miss the company Christmas party or something awful will happen. Sure enough, once I show up, things go slowly, J is dressed as a tree, Hiromu's sister turns out to be pretty damn hot, and all is right with the world.

...By the way, is there some kinda virus going on or something? We got PEOPLE here all of a sudden.

If they're gone and your backup's gone, can we make another one? Or is that another stupid question like "why does everywhere have the exact same Christmas decorations on their tree as we do"?

Not gonna lie, I've been putting some thought to that. Don't know how restoring my data's gonna go, since if I mess anything up there, I might wind up missing some vital internal organs. But backing up what I've got, just in case something goes wrong...it might be a good idea. But I don't exactly know how much space I'd need for that.

Clearly, we need to buy our decorations somewhere else. Though who knew Kurorin got this intense about Christmas? Motorized tree in the command center and everything.

And I thought he was gonna get mad when I put decorations on everything. I guess he really wants everyone to like Christmas.

Yeah, I know. Awesome, right? I want him to stay like this ALL YEAR.

Can we keep the decorations up? Or at least those bells that make the fun noise?

I don't see why not. [In that, he's going to ignore every reason why not.]

Ooh, just heard. Ryuji's got a DATE this New Year's.

Really? He found someone as boring and old as he is?

It's a BLIND date. He doesn't know who it is.

That kind of sounds like fun. Can we go watch?

Now, wouldn't that be spying?

I thought you guys were kind of like spies anyway.

Exactly. Now suit up.

Awesome! Are we going undercover and wearing costumes and stuff? Like dressing up?

Of course. I call the afro.

Do we wear tourist clothes or fancy stuff or what? I mean, he's a boring and serious person, so he's probably going golfing on his date or something.

[Makoto. It's winter.]

I don't think Ryuji can afford anything that fancy. After all, I've been borrowing from his bank account.

Then what are they gonna do? We need to know to be good enough spies and stuff.

It's Ryuji. He's probably going to try and take her out to dinner and make an utter mess of himself because he's not cool like us.

Okay! I'm gonna get all dressed up and be right there with you guys.

All right, I'm gonna do what I can to help J. He's wearing a dress and not pulling it off at all.

Is this like when he said we could dress you up if I got bored learning how to use the computer?

Kinda. But I can pull anything off. Him? Not so much.

He was a good Christmas tree.

I have yet to see a more convincing tree.

I'll bring a box to hide under, too.

Bring a fake mustache too. I might need backup in case he tries to hide in the bathroom.

Gross. I hope not. We're gonna be totally hard to spot.

I know. But he might be expecting us to tail him and try to lose us.

Okaaay. I hope I don't have to go in the men's room, though. I'll set a trap or something.

Good planning!

What else do we need to bring?

Been a little while since I last went on a date. I doubt explosives will be appropriate here.

So no fireworks this time? Okay. Oh, what about flower petals? They're in all the romance manga, after all!

Yes, that's work perfectly!

Okay! I'll get some!

[brb raiding the florist's dumpster]

Make sure they're as bright and colorful as possible!

I'll get tons!

[and she will return to base with a big garbage bag of them]

Perfect!

...Come to think of it, I should put some in the shower to make sure he smells good before he heads off.

Like putting scented stuff in the shower head, like you would with Kool-aid powder?

Yep. I'm gonna blend together some of these flowers. Be right back.

[this will be glorious]

[Ryuji's totally going to smell like roses, carnations, lavender, and a hint of vanilla.]
