[If you saw D at the festival and thought he looked tired then, you'll notice that now he looks remarkably awake, well-rested, and healthy. D even looks rather happy, despite the fact that he seems a bit alarmed by the chaos he's woken up to.]

My goodness, quite a bit has happened while I was asleep, it seems. [Yeah. He slept from the festival

The festival was a smashing success, I would say. Bad news to follow, but at least they've had their fun before heading out.

Concerning the other matter, might I be of some assistance?

[cake_and_dreams]

Thank you, Castor.

Ah, perhaps. I'm not sure what to get my partner for Christmas. It's not something I normally celebrate, and I'm not good with technology.

[zusealgorithm]

For your partner? I see. Then you'll be looking for something a step above the ordinary, no doubt. I myself am still learning of the ways technology works in this world, but I'm certain that between the two of us, we could arrive at some conclusion.

[concerned for a moment]

I hope you do not mind my asking, dear, but I did not inquire during the festivities in hopes to gain the knowledge on my own. What is the significance of "Christmas" and the gift-giving? Why might some Users celebrate while others do not? I'm afraid I'm quite in the dark on this one.

[cake_and_dreams]

Yes. Shaun can be difficult to shop for. I would appreciate the help.

[The concern gets D's attention.]

Ah. You asked a good question. [D gives him a patient smile.] It is a religious holiday, and since not everyone is of the same religion, some don't celebrate. I'm sure there's probably a book in the library that could explain it better than I can. Gift-giving is part of the tradition and is even done by many people who do not participate in the religion at all.

The festival was quite wonderful. Thank you for organizing it.

And you can always check what they've got. Perhaps computer parts or accessories. Or a cellphone.

[cake_and_dreams]

You're quite welcome!

Ah... I don't suppose you know of anything more specific than that? [D looks uncertain. Technology is unnecessary when you live under a rock.]

[fallinfree]

I've never been to a festival before. it was quite nice! Thank you.

[Video]

[cake_and_dreams]

Ah, so this was your first one? You're quite welcome. I do hope you had fun.

[Video]

[fallinfree]

Very much so.

Do you do this sort of things often? [when is the next one she wants to go]

[Video]

[cake_and_dreams]

Not really, no. [Sorry. ;; ] Sometimes Shibusen or other guests will host parties.

I'm sure you needed the sleep D-san, you worked so hard for setting up the festival and it was so much fun! Thank you!

A gift? ahhh...maybe things to build his own computer...?

[Video]

[cake_and_dreams]

Ah, yes. It was needed! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Ah... what kind of things are those?

[Video]

[zodiaconigiri]

I-I'm not sure exactly..I'm sorry! I..I'm not very good with that kind of stuff.

[Video]

[cake_and_dreams]

It's alright. [D gives her a small smile.] I'm not either, but I imagine a computer store could help, if they have those things here. Thank you for the suggestion; I hadn't thought of that.

[cake_and_dreams]

You say that like it was guaranteed, my dear.

[cake_and_dreams]

[D chuckles.] I knew I could count on you, Zhang He. Thank you for all your hard work. Is there some way I can repay you?
