[She's a little bit upset still, since some of her friends are gone. But it's okay, it really is, because she can make new friends. It won't be the same, but it doesn't have to be, right? Oh, she hopes so. But, she's a little preoccupied right now, so she keeps fading in and out of the second level as she makes a lot of signs. Some of the spelling is bad but it all of them seem to mention Ice Skating.]

Oh, I hope this is fun. But, um, what's ice skating? Er, and what's a skate?

Um, how does this go...

Um, Happy Christmas!

[She's smiling, even though she looks a little nervous.]

I made cookies for, um, everyone! Oh, and there's a few...um, gifts, too.

((OOC: Everyone in Template gets gingerbread cookies. Lloyd, Raine, and Zelos are getting other stuff, too!))

[She's staring at the toys and lights and moving things in one of the store's display windows. She knows she can't be seen, but she's...really happy, right here, right now. And she's noticed that since it's so cold, she can see her breath warm up the window and leave a fog. It's nice. She likes it here, right here and right now. And she's still a little bit red from the mistletoe incidents, but she doesn't really mind. Because it was...it was nice.]

I should get people gifts for Christmas. I hope they'd like them....

[She blinks, and has a sudden thought.]

What's a gingerbread house? Do people live in them?

[It was raining, and the ground is still slushy. She's doing her best to walk down the sidewalk and not trip on said slushy ground. Well, sometimes she hovers, but the principle's the same.]

It's really slippery today. Um, does anyone need an umbrella? I have one I'm not using.

[Nearly trips right here. Gets back up and starts brushing off the damp, but it's not working too well. She seems to be ignoring it, and she's smiling.]

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun, and that's really, really important!

[She's carrying a bundle of...something as she walks around on the second level.]

Um, I heard some people lost power. And I have some candles. So, um, if you want any, you can have them! They're free, too.

[Really quietly, and mostly to herself.]

I can't believe people disappeared. I hope they're all back now. And it's been so violent here lately. I hope everyone's okay.

[She has a bunch of envelopes on her tray now, as well as a bunch of snacks. She's already opened her invitation, and she's really excited about it]

Excuse me, but has anybody not gotten an invitation to the masquerade yet? I'll give one to you if you want one.

[So, second level? You can has a Colette, in a not-as-revealing-as-it-could-be French Maid outfit. Her wings are out, too. So, what is she, the angel of cleaning? She also happens to be carrying a tray full of goodies and is trying not to trip and drop them~]

Um, does anybody want anything off of the tray? It's a little heavy....

This is really kind of fun!

[This is Colette, walking around, and since everyone else is humming a bit, she can hear music everywhere. She kind of likes it.]

~What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key~

[This isn't good. The tall buildings with blinking lights are very...intimidating. And what are those things with wheels? And there's just so many people she can see here. Maybe they can help her out a little bit?]

Excuse me? Could someone help me? I'm a little bit lost...?

[But some of them can't seem to see her. Or hear her. And that's the scariest thing so far. It's like she tripped and she can't get back up. And there's a key and a note in her hand, and she can't remember where they came from.]

Where am I?

This definitely isn't in Sylvarant. And it doesn't feel like Tethe'alla does, so it's not there...
