[There are two things Rose would like to get off her chest. The first is this: ]

It's been exactly five months since I arrived. My year back home has thrown me a little out of sorts on date's, but I'm sure I have done the math right. Odd, how in July I didn't even imagine I would suddenly find myself shopping for holiday gifts in December. I hope you all like scarves.

[And, after that: ]

Actually, along that line of thought -- where would I get a Christmas tree here? Store browsing has proved fruitless.

[ a video pops up shortly, showing off a pair of NEKO MIMI EARS sitting on her head. they don't appear to be doing anything at the moment. ]

See how they twitch? They're suppose to follow your brain waves or something and it's super cute don't you think? [ ... still not moving. ] Fuck, I think I'm too excited right now they're standing up right.

Okay I'm going to relax watch.... Oh, c'mon!

[ she looks down, a little perplexed by the situation (how awkward is this!) when the ears finally moves downward and twitches back up. ]

Yeah! There you go. Cool as fuck right? Anyways, big thanks to Kanaya for them. My cat can't stop staring at me when I wear them. Don't think I'm going all kitty-kin on you guys though, one hundred percent human here who has made her way to a sweet number of sixteen.

But let me say it again guys because this is seriously important... Wizard Club.

[happy holidays, network, you're getting the tourist's-eye view of a pretty standard December scene around the City - the skating rink and decorated tree at Rockefeller Center. Lots of people around on a Saturday, there's a crowd out skating and even more bustling around the tree, snapping photos]

You know what's great? And a little weird, but mostly great. See this? It's just like in Sternbild! The ice rink and everything. It's so weird to think that different dimensions have exactly the same Christmas decorations, but there it is! It's so beautiful, I can't believe it. It's nice to see. Really makes me feel like we're all not so different after all. Heroes or not, aliens or humans or trolls or whatever. Makes me want to find some kind of commemorative thing to buy...they don't seem to have pins, though...

Anyway. [he flips the video to himself - yep, it's 'normal' Kotetsu, in a scarf and tweed cap] I like Christmas, myself, but this is the first one where I won't get to spend any of it with my family at all. I can't even call my daughter across dimensions, let alone see her. I guess I'll just have to find some other way of celebrating.

...I don't suppose there's any folks my age who'd like to go out for drinks? Nothing funny, just for company.

[just before he shuts it off, he gets a brilliant idea. Clearly it must be shared]

I know! I need to get one of those special sweaters!
