[Whoa, what's all this! Has Christmas come early to 8-11? The guide has come on to 8-11's kitchen, and there's a gingerbread castle, heaps of chocolate strawberries, cupcakes of various flavors, Danish, chocolate fudge, and even a sparkling croquembouche[But your view of the feast of sweets is cut woefully short. Yoshimori picks up his guide, and ( Read more... )

[Yoshimori and Renge are sitting in a studio at work. Yoshimori is wearing this ridiculous costume. He is growling his words, in monotone. Absolutely no feeling here.]

I've searched all over the world for you an' now I've finally found you. Yer none other than Magical Princess Peachy Peachy Pururin, pyon pyon.

[Lenalee's sitting crosslegged on her bed, brushing her hair. Directly behind her is a large stack of boxes. Yeah... some of that stuff from when she got shunted down to Stowaways was never unpacked. She regards the camera with a thoughtful expression on her face.]

Hard to believe this month is almost over. Is there really only a week left?

[Yoshimori hasn't been in school this month. He's been avoiding everyone and everything. He is busy. Very busy.]

[And on the morning of 3/11, this note will be left on Yoshimori's bed

[The feed crackles on to a network broadcast, so have some exotic alien stuff. You can see an arena that appears to be a giant, completely white and silver Sequoia forest, inhabited by two-foot black raven-like birds of prey... they just happen to have massive claws and serpent-like heads.]

["Jingle Bells" is playing in the background as the camera pans across a variety of baked goods.]

Ho ho ho and a Merry Christmas to you, SS Thor! Need a gift for someone? Here's a tip. They don't want an ugly sweater, or something from the 1 Credit Store. Give 'em something they really want!

Ketsu! METSU! [For anyone who can hear or see ghosts, the sound of an explosion with shattering glass can be heard. Then demonic laughter and electricity crackling.]

Hah.... hah! [panting] Stubborn son of a-- KETSU!
